    So hey, I'm new, here's my ES and stuff

    I figured I'd say hi and show you guys my stuff...;)

    So for a while I was building this 1.8t corrado. It was fun, then I sold it and started looking for an e30.




    Anyway I saved this 4 door from this kid who repeatedly raped it to bits. I threw a 2.5 in it swapped it to a 5 speed and drove it for the winter.


    I dunno what he was thinking. The grille, wheels and some engine stuff were spray painted white. So I fixed that....



    And then spent the winter doing doughnuts and junk



    Then I found this guy



    The pin stripes pissed me off.



    So I removed them.



    The back tires were destroyed so I bought some 225/50/15s for some ronals I had and threw them on.




    The dash was cracked and gross, so I took a vacation day and stole the clean one out of the four door. I also pulled the engine harness, ecu, manifolds, pulleys and head... So I guess that's a pretty good hint as to where my heads is at as far as plans go.

    I have a holset hx35 and some other bits I've been collecting, so I'm sure I'll post that stuff later.

    Before the omg lower it !11!!1!1!! I ordered bilstien sports and vogtland springs this morning with a bunch of other stuff.

    Also I'm looking for fog lights and brackets for the early es valence. I'm also looking for someone manly (or womanly) enough to cut a late style rear valance off of a car they are parting....

    Should look great once the suspension is in.

      the green and blue pinstripes are alpina colors.

      ronals look nice.

        Thanks.... I wish they were green and blue alpina colors. They were damn near neon blue autozone pin stripes the old guy I bought it from put on to "spruce it up" for the for sale pictures haha.

                I sometimes miss the corrado... Until I remember how it always wanted to torque steer you into things. It also liked to blow the silicone coupler off of the throttle body at the most embarrassing times. Oh, and every so often the heater vents would blow little chunks of dried up foam into your eyes. It pretty much tried to kill me every day.

                  Love the Corrado...but I can imagine the nightmare it was. E30 has a great start!

                    yeah, i thought so too. my black eta (RIP) had the alpina color pin stripes on it. i thought it looked great. e30s seem a bit naked with no pin stripes.

                        Score some euro bumps, lower it a tad bit, and don't do shit to it afterwards.

                            Did my timing belt, water pump and a tune up yesterday. It looks like I was just in time...:eeek:



                            Hopefully my suspension shows up in the next few days.
