Nice looking car, your going to love it more everyday. Is it 5 lugged or are you running adapters with those wheels?

Sweet. AND it has air conditioning. Can't get any better than that!

Wow, just wow. Fucking speechless. What a well put together car in every aspect. Perfect combination of my AP1 S2000's rawness, handling, responsiveness, and 'go-kart' feeling with the horsepower and torque of my 6-speed TL... and dat sound. Holy fuck the exhaust note is amazing. I thought my S2000 with 3" HKS exhaust + 3" high flow cat was good... But the S50 just sounds like heaven.

The previous owner spent a lot of time and money on this car and getting it well sorted, and has basically upgraded everything on it: every bushing, sway bar, mount, all of the suspension, SS brake lines, custom intake, custom exhaust, tune, wheels, CF hood, some Style 5 wheels... just EVERYTHING. It was everything I expected and more. For the right price, too. ;)

I'll shut up now and throw up a couple of pics (more to come later with a REAL camera + photographer):







Spent today cleaning the interior, using Lexol on the seats, door panels, and the dash. Tomorrow I'll wash the engine bay, the car itself, check the air filter, and maybe order some Meguiars M105 and M205 so I can get to work on refreshing the clearcoat on the paint with my Porter Cable DA oribital polisher. :D

I am so excited to be driving a fresh, well-taken care of swapped E30. Thanks for reading, and I'm happy to be part of the community.

04/22 UPDATE:

Alright, so the carbon fiber hood on my car had some major oxidization across about 95% of it. I decided to attack it with my Porter Cable DA random orbital polisher, an orange 'harsh' pad, and some Meguiars M105.
