Can't find much on what the m sport suspension package consisted of. Most information is spotty at best. Anyone know?

A little video of the eS being towed. So pretty

Haha I did kung-fu when I was younger, but I haven't done any martial arts in years. I did keep the shoes though

I've worn almost exclusively feiyue since I was maybe 12 or something. Best shoes I've ever owned. I have three pair I alternate between. A pair for the garage, and then a black and a white pair for daily use. I hate that I can't wear them to work.....

Neo's voice from 'The Matrix': "I know kung-fu".

I spotted the Feivue shoes in the pic with mtech 1 wheel and instantly said to myself "HA! he does kung-fu. I just threw out my pair because the sole is completely worn.

If i may say so myself, those shoes feel soooo comfortable. They make you feel like you can do anything!

I think I paid $50 in total for the fabric. I also got some other stuff.

In comparison I bought some nicer fabric to redo my sparco and I spent $70 on that. For only like 2 yards.... and some foam

Sweet dude! I can't wait to get that! It looks really good though!

Bought canvas by the yard. Ripped out the old carpet completely, and laid the new stuff myself

Good idea on the sanding and painting BTW, maybe I'll just have to attempt that soon

Looks really good. I am gunna have to get some and put it into mine. I love the no carpet thing for track but I would like carpet haha! How much was it?
Yeah you can go to my build thread and see the before and after on the dash and the center consol. It's all shiny and purdy!

Reupholstered the inside! Went from this:



To this:

what kinda carpet you use? rip it out of another e30 or just bought carpet?

[mazie30]

[quote=squidmaster;2732099]redid the center console tonight.
was going to leave it with the factory finish, but it was completely ruined by glue. I couldn't get it off with anything.


this is how mine was and i just sanded it down a tad bit and re sprayed it and it looks as good as new!

[squidmaster]

hey yeah I'm a bit out of Orlando, but it's not too far of a drive.

how much would you be willing to part with a 260 for? I have a 5 speed in the 4 door that I'll probably swap over, but just for an estimate.

do you have driveshafts as well?

[TimbyMaTombo]

Hey! Where in Florida are you? I am in Orlando right not for school but back home in Tampa, I have two getrag 260s and all the parts needed for a swap. I was going to swap my other E30 but I don't have time, room, or tools sufficient to do it right now. Both 260s are the early style that need the plate shifter, but I have an extra and anything is better than autotragic...

edit: and I think my E30 would give yours a run for it's money for title of "ugliest E30 on r3v."

[Habla]

no bias from you I'm sure hahaha

but I'd need euro bumpers just like you. so sexy

Yeah, they really tie the room together, dude
