From subaru to e30 convert

[!AjHoWzA!]

Awesome. Those style 5's look great! Always like em

[TimKninja]

Clean and simple. Love it. Call me stupid,are those style 5s?

Not much a fan of the Bug eyed Subarus, but yours is pretty hawt.

Finally a small update. Got the BCs on, got wheels on, still messing with ride height and stuff. I think i should have gone with a slightly different tire size, but oh well.... But it makes me happier driving something low and looking correct (kinda) again.

Only 2 photos, now to focus on minor fixer uppers (engine, suspension, exterior, interior).






blah blah bumper sag, volvo lip, euro grill, blah

Love the Bugeye! I miss my prodrive lip and exhaust (well, and the Subie too). Assuming you're on NASIOC?

[!AjHoWzA!]

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 ;)

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.

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?

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.

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!

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.

SWEET. I hate my WRX. I want my E30 back. Good one.

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

lol BS. WAGONNNNN!!!!!!

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 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 :)

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.

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.
