My first E30

[gnzRR]

Well, hi there everyone! I been lurkin' around the forum for a long time now, but never decided to start a thread... Well, now is the day.

My name is Diego, I'm from Lima-Perú, so... Sorry for my awful english, anyway...

I purchased my first E30 about 7 months ago, and I've been working on it (very slowly) since today.

It's a 1983 Euro 316 coupe, and I love it, absolutely love my car. Previously I've owned a Celica GT and a s13... But nothing like my E30

So, the pics... Right.

When I first got it...



Not much been done, I'ma list the stuff done so far:

-LOTS of manteinance (the engine was freshly rebuild, car repainted by previous owner)
-H&R springs
-Front shocks are Bilsteins, rears are Sachs Super Touring from a 325is
-Nice Kenwood Excelon head unit
-Kenwood front speakers, Pioneer rears
-Got Yellow high beams (just a film cover though)
-Euro front grill (complete)
-Momo Racing Line steering wheel, Momo Hub
-Momo knock off shift knob
-Nice 323i Baur Lip (this is the best about my car I guess lol)

And thats all by now, I guess... Here's a recent pic :)



And some old pics =)





Test fitting the Baur lip



More pics to come :)

And a couple more pics, I'll try to update this as much as I can...





Plans for my car? Not much... I know the M10B18 is a slow engine, even slower when it's fitted with a 4 speed, jaja... Uhm, Just go a little lower, maybe Konig Remembers... I don't know :)

Mine's not like "mint condition" or something, but I think it's on a decent shape =)

Congrats. You now have the coolest car in Lima!

Thanks a lot! But even though I love my car, I must admit that there are some cooler cars around Lima, seen a M3, my friend's 1JZ 325is... Idk :$

lol, it was a rare find... Very rare, never seen it before... Hardly found pics on google and it cost me 10 dollars =)

Washed the car yesterday (I live on a very polluted area, and it's been raining lately) for an important job interview =) Hop everything goes alright!





Sorry for the crappy cellphone pics... I mean, really sorry.

Hope everyone is doing great =)

Oh btw, I've been thinking lately about painting my "kidneys" blaaack, because there ain't chrome anywhere else on the car... Well, just wondering!
