God I need that color in my life. Welcome to R3V.

[Wh33lhop]

Welcome. Clean calypso. You seem like not a retard. Keep it that way.

[Boostesi]

Ahhh... you bought this off the kid who bought the E36 after he broke the pan and never changed it? He seemed like a cool guy. Was kinda sad to here he gave up in the e30.

Keeping it auto for now?

i know i sold him a 5 speed conversion ;)

I call BS. No way you are 17. You can spell and you use punctuation correctly :p

Welcome to the board. I'd love to have a Calypso 4-door. I wish my s50 car was a 4-door.

Lol, I just hate making myself look uneducated so I type proper. & Thanks, I love my baby!



Update: Bought a getrag so no more auto for me!

[dvid3k]

That is very close to being identical to my first E30, seeing yours makes me wish I could have it back.

Welcome, jealous of your calypso, my paint is faaaacked and if you want your car "damn low" get a good skid plate best investment you can make for a new England car, wish I had...

[lambo]

On a regular, non-DTM E30, damn that's low is not the most functional set-up.

Something every E30 owner should read:

E30 Semi-Trailing Arm Geometry

Welcome, love the color and looks like a clean example to start with.

I dont think he's going to be running that suspension setup either. But you said a car that is "damn thats low" low would not be functional in terms of handling. while ride height is completely subjective, that is not necessarily true.

I don't think you're going to be running that suspension setup. You're getting into a mildly sporty low budget car, not a dtm or nurburgring time attack car. I think barely clearing speed bumps or not being able to at all is "damn low" or whatever.

Well for those that know a bit about e30's and cars, know that "slammed" obviously didn't good for grip. But for an e30, and those that know how high they are, a +/- 2inch drop is "damn thats low" with the right wheel/tire setup. That's what I was getting at with that statement.

sure good luck

Why not damn that's functional?

Fat tires and sport suspension.
