    My first car I've owned

    And my first E30. Just picked her up last Friday. The guy had it lowered 2" with 17" rims and some cosmetic work done to it.
    She's gonna need some work and is unfortunately an automatic but I still love the car.
    Edit: Wow I was unaware there was already a post with this title...

    Needs new wheels, those are insanely ugly. Looks really clean though, shame on the auto, typical of the verts. Welcome to r3v and you can change your title:

      Welcome! It's a work in progress as always the top looks pretty good, what about the interior do you have racing seats?

      Congrats!

        Not a bad start. Don't hate on the auto, it's not that bad. Just don't drive a 5spd so you don't know what you are missing.

            Sweet, thanks. Yeah I'm not a fan of the wheels so I'll change them as soon as I can. I'm thinking some 17" ASA AR1's or CR 7's. I'm gonna do some maintenance work, then performance, and then cosmetic work.


            As for the interior, the previous owner put in some red and black recaro racing seats a few years back.

            And yes this car was on the Atlanta craigslist :D

              Welcome! Not a bad first car!. Just do a bumper tuck and replace those rims and you will be good to go.

                        I'm fine with the bumpers for now, I kinda like the old look. I have this picture of the interior:



                        Once I get a new camera I'll update with more pictures. I do believe they are ssr gt3's but painted black and red.

                          I guess if the red is your style thats cool. Im not a big fan of it, but whatever.

                          Ive never been a fan of racing seats in a vert either. Mainly cause no one races verts cause of their weight and they like to flex. I think should have a classic look to them, but thats just me.

                          Nevertheless, its good to see an other vert around :up:


                          EDIT: Where abouts in GA are you?
                          I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

                              youre off on a great start, get some basketweaves and put the oem sport seats on and ditch those ugly red seats.
