Whats your VIN, I will come to the bottom of this year vs bumper of your car.

And get you an Autcheck as well.

Your car has 88-91 "plastic bumpers" retrofitted. The 84-87 had metal "diving boards" stock. Your car is clean, keep up the good work!

The 88 had the early metal bumpers but, had the late model low rear arches and tail lights.

I just the title & engine bay everything lines up its an 85, the guy I got it from had the for many years & ownes his own shop here in Tampa he has so many spare parts.

On another note checked out all the stiff that I know is on the car...new it was well over 1500, so pretty much got a free car. & now I guess having these bumpers on a 85 is special. When I was washing it today I was wondering why the rear seemed to have a valence or something

word ill let you know trying to decide if i wanna do the 2.7i build or just pick up this local 2.5 swap. From what i read seems the 2.7i is better for boost.

I have an 885 head for sale. Let me know if you want it.

Think ima Look for a complete 2.5 swap, I don't plan on boosting it so i don't want the lower compression levels that the 2.7i build makes.

looks awesome on those varrstoen wheels!!! have you any more pics with them on, maybe some side pics of fitment. i'm really considering a set for my car but i'm not sure what offset to go for.

Guys bumpers are swapped not too hard to believe. Guy did a clean job from the looks of it too. ( I retrofitted plastics on my 87 ). You might want to by a rear apron for the car cuz the rear is exposed a bit. Anyways beatiful starting point

Mines are for sale :)
Thanks yeah ill post some & pm them to you, Umm honestly id go +15 all around mine are +25 with 5mm spacers & i would like to go lower offset. I always go bigger just due to the fact of being able to get spacers. BUt i originally bought these wheels for my civic lol

Yeah, its a decent conversion The bumpers are a little off in some spots maybe down the road ill pull them off & see if i can get them to line up a little better. Umm can you point me towards these rear aprons ? im REally new to e30's trying to figure it all out.

[CoelhoSport]

the rear apron would have to be cut off another car and welded to your car or you could be cheap and cut both and rivet them together gl drilling tho

i stuck with the early apron on my 90 vert i like the look when the car is slammed you see the rear wheels perfect from behind

ahaha true yeah im lucky to have a best friend who will fabricate for me for next to nothing.

yeah, as much as id like to get coilovers Im happy with the suspension i have especially since if i pulled it off & sold it prolly wouldn't get much for it since its used & has seen some track days. Down the road prolly will end up picking some BC racing coilovers. Think im actually gonna sell my wheels this weekend & pick up the Varrstoen V3's in 16x9 & run a 205/50 tire.

My bad for the late reply. You could cut off 88+ Aprons off e30s or you can purchase bolt on aprons, which is what i did. However be careful on which one you get, i had to customize mine to make it fit and it is still not quite 100%.

[johnmaloney88]

any luck with those pics of the varrstoens?
