    My Aussie E30

    Hey guys,

    I have been lurking around the forums for quite a while, never got around to posting pictures of my car.

    I have had the car since September 2003

    It is a 1988 320i

    Mod List:
    - 16" Racing Dynamics
    - Custom Exhuast
    - Lowered
    - Painted Mirrors & Bumpers
    - Shadowlined
    - Blacked out kidney
    - Re-upholstered seats
    - ICE: Alpine HU, Sub, Amp, Clarion Speakers
    - Tint

    Future Mods:
    - IS Front Lip
    - Fog Lights
    - IS Sport Seats
    - Smoked front and side indicators
    - New headlight bulbs
    - 17" Kopi's

    As for engine I am considering swapping for a m20b25 instead of my m20b20... as i believe this will be cheaper than building my 2.0 to a 2.5??? I am correct? Than a 2.7L stroker.

    This will eventually be my project car. I should have a new car next year sometime but as for now it's my daily.

    Dan.

    beautiful, love the setup. And you are going the right direction on modding.

    I had an opprotunity to buy a euro e28 520i from my mechanic, he said it was about just as fast as my 325i, sadly i never drove it.

          welcome aboard. Nice car. I love the alpina kopis, but I wouldn't be in any hurry to get rid or your RD's.

                      thanks for all the positive comments guys.

                      i am not a huge fan of the RD's but i like them... i got them off a family member and as you would know wheels to suit e30's are hard to find and even harder in australia
