First E30

[supkev]

I recently purchased a Salmon Silver 1987 325 coupe, 2.7 stroker engine (super eta), Manual (of course) :D. This may be my first e30 but I'm not new to the e30 scene. A friend of mine also owns a e30 and after seeing how much potential e30's have I decided to buy one. :) Though I have been having problems with the car trying to start it up in the morning, and bad water leaks in the rear wells where the battery and the jack is located, other than that it works great when it works.

you're better off, those wheels weren't really suited for the car anyways..

looks like a good start! throw a turbo on it and make use of that lower compression from the super eta stroker

Thanks man! yea its a good platform already, but I wish I had money for a turbo...gahh sucks to be a broke student going to PCC :[ but for sure.

nice! you should check the grommet. thats why i also get water where the jack is.

[supkev]

Thanks bro, Will check that out and check the tail light gasket. I heard its quite a common problem for Metal bumper e30's but my friend said a solution's was to drill holes.

First e30 I've seen where I liked the halos... maybe it's the color of the car?

Great start... mtech valence helps.

hey, nice looking car. did you buy the way it is now or did you do anything to it?
With the water leaks i have the same problem. I read that you have to check the grommet as said before or check the rear left tail light because that seal sometimes goes bad.

clean car dude, welcome to the socal lifestyle ;)

With a plastic bumper in the rear and an mtech II valence it would look great. I love the color.
