I've seen a lot of people doing this lately. so i figured i would try and gather all the photos i have of my cars online and do some sort of timeline.(sorry for the wetoddid pics not working, but the IMG code isnt working, sorry)
First e30:
1987 325iS Cinnibar/Black leather. Previously owned by Kirstie Alley. Decent shape, and over priced(I paid 4500 as i didnt know shit). Car came stock, minus a Schrick 272 cam and software and Ansa Exhaust.
After those shots I did suspension with HR OEM Sports/Tokicos. I soon started talkin with Ryan Stewart and he helped me out with my Euro bumper swap. I wanted to do full euro conversion, so i changed everything inside and put hte euro bumpers on. Unfortunatly, a few months later and only a week after putting in new clutch and LTW flywheel somebody ran a redlight and clipped my front end and totaled the car:-(
After arguing with the girls insurance company about what a fair price for my car was for almost 5 months, I decided i wouldn't beable to find a good condition 5 speed iS, so I opted for an Automatic from an asian lady at my school in MINT shape for only 3000. Great, but I didnt want an Auto.
The first 24 hours I swapped interior, suspension, exhaust, and other small goodies onto the new car. I also finally mounted my Borbet Type C's that I got for 50 bucks!
1989 325iA, swapped to 5speed. Cinnibar, MINT tan interior(sold) and only 120k miles.
Then I got some other stuff put on. I also swapped out the tranny/LTW flywheel around this time.
IS Lip installed
Shot with the local crew: I think I had my new suspension on for those pics: RD With Bilstien Sports. Also put on Suspension Technique Swaybars
Supporting my Shop that supported me:
Doing what she does best: The AutoX
From there Stuff stayed relatively the same minus just normal maintenence.
Here are some just normal random pics before I left Kansas for California. 3 days before I was supposed to leave I broke a rocker arm. I had saved the head off of the old car so I did a swap, T-belt, water pump, and all that fun stuff. Those were the funnest 2 days of my life! I was praying that the car would last the 24+ hours to get to California.
More random pics:
I soon made it to California just fine. The car started to fall apart as soon as I got out here. The air really messed up my paint job and it was a PITA to keep clean. The lack of maintenence really started causing the car to drive slowly and ran worse and worse. I could tell it was going to be the end. Then in late november the car finally died. After trying to keep it alive, the camshaft broke. I didnt expect it at all. But it did. Right on the #6 cyl. lobes.
I heard through school that one of the STEP instructers was selling a nicely modded e30 for cheap. I took a look at it, drove it for 10 min, and bought it.
1989 325i, Cinnibar(2yr old paint) MINT tan sport interior, lowered on IE Stage III's/Bilstien Sports. IE Reground 272 Cam, Jim C chip, IE SSK, ANSA Exhaust. For 2300, it was a great deal.
I swapped the tan door handles/map pockets for the black ones and traded my black interior to Dave for some Euro Smiley Ellips.
I need more pictures of the new car, and those will come on my next trip to my uncles.
Thats it for now, thanks for looking!
