What's up guys. I've been around cars for a bit and have always wanted an e30, this one came up for cheap "not running" so I went ahead and picked it up.


And of course within a week of ownership it hit the track to go drifting, then autocross with my father the next day. Feels like a great car so far.

The car came with some H&R springs, OE plus struts, XXR 15x8 +20 wheels, little bit peppier of an exhaust, fresh steering rack although it's still the old e30 rack and not an upgraded e36 which I may do in the future, and the i motor swap even though it is technically a 325e. I still need to swap the gauge cluster since it is the e cluster and it seems the tach doesn't want to work on the i motor.
My history thus far is mostly with a turbo miata, but as of late it has become an all track car and it really is no fun having to daily drive a truck all over the place, so this e30 works out great. Here's my other beater.



Hopefully I can keep this car nice and mellow as a fun daily driver, but I do have temptations to go all out with it as well.
