[d_elson0]

re move volvo lip NOW! even i ordered an IS from pelican and got it shipped over here to aust! if i can afford it you can too!!!

is's are fun! looks clean and exactly like mine :P

I will spend the 110 one day. Gotta have priorities :)

I want an evo 6 BAD

if you must have that lip on. please flip it the right direction

Dig it this way more. plow plow

Sweet another 318is owner in Cali. Welcome

Thanks

at least doing plugs won't be a bitch anymore haha.... i came from the evo world, welcome to the 30 game!

indeed. plugs are cake on the little inline 4s. most everything is pretty basic so far.

sick scooby snack. i see a great future for this thirty.

Thanks. Its long gone now though, but the new one will be great too.

I'll probably start actually modifying the e30 soon, but will probably just stick to wheels and coils for a while. I don't want to get out of hand with the car just yet...

Just detailed finally. Its nice that the paint still has life in it even after 20 years. Subaru paint would have been thrashed:









One day I'll actually take photos somewhere nicer...

Lookin' good!
Fellow WRX and 318is owner here as well! (I have an VF39'd '06 wagon that receives heavy camping duty as well as occasional HPDE track duty). I'm really liking the e30 as a DD compliment - it's so fun to drive, but slower than I'd like.

I'll keep an eye on your e30, I get the feeling this will turn out well in the future!

btw, I've got an 'i' lip for sale if you want one for cheap, i'll be happy to give you a subie-owner discount :)
PM me if interested!

lol BS. WAGONNNNN!!!!!!

LOL Honestly. I want a wagon just like yours and my E30 back. Or any M52/S50 E30 for that matter.

Glad to see you out of a confused car to a right wheel drive car. WRX's are so torn. You drive them and one seconds its a FWD then its a RWD but it goes back to FWD. SO its even a lil biased to the dark side.
LUV Alpine it my fav color. Though Blue interior is best LOL

It's 51/49 power bias. You just have to learn to drive it right. Pretty solid cars. I really do love mine, I just miss my E30s.

I'll prob wait for an IS one, thanks though.. I really liked the subaru. But has been parted out and sold to fund the track car.

I really liked where my wrx was. Full 05 sti drive train. it was nice....

it really depends, wrx drive train is pretty weak imo. Once you can afford to either get into an STi or at least get the drivetrain w/adjustable center diff and front and rear 1.5 diffs, really comes alive :)

gotta have both :)

really sorta missing my subaru as a daily. However the finishing items are finally being done to the track chassis before it can finally go to paint. Some randoms of the old suby:














Offically was picked up last weekend... but now i have a decent amount of money, some coils/skid plate coming for the e30, rest going to track car and towards a nicer parts cleaner for the shop.

Thanks agian for the comments. Hopefully i'll meet some of the local e30 guys soon.

I know a guy that makes great E30 front coil over struts.

Probably going to go with an unpopular choice... but we are direct with BC coils and they arn't too bad for what I was quoted. Seems like everyone is on the H&R race/koni/bilstein setup, GC setups, one-off or super cheap coils. Can't completely cheap out on suspension, so i think BCs will do (minus the long springs may become a issue).

i'm running the BCs, the rear spring is really long and i still need to buy shorter springs for the rear. so far i like the coils, no issues. also mv, as in mission viejo?

Cool E30 you bought there.
Your Subaru is incredible...
Used to be a fan of the Impreza before I started with E30's.
It looks top the way you worked on that one.

Ya bro 318is's is where its at! But I'll have to agree about the volvo lip but at least you have one on there instead of nothing at all. And nice looking car. Looks like mine also ;)
