This is truly inspirational. I'm hoping to pick up my first E30 here next week, or the week following pending the PPI and compression test. Some items need a bit of restoring and tweaking, but you seem quite OCD like myself when it comes to certain things, and I can appreciate that. Keep up the good work!

very nice build, keep it up.
Awesome build! Love that you started off with a complete suspension rebuild. That's exactly what I have planned for mine and am really looking forward to the results. Will definitely be following this oneLast edited by SEA382; 02-10-2016, 07:41 AM.

Awesome! I'm going to probably be following the same upgrade path, but I started on the opposite end with the engine maintenance since I bought an overheating car to start with.
You might see a PM from me in the future asking about the specifics on the GC suspension bits. That looks to be they way I'd like to go with mine.

For sure, hit me up if you have any questions. It's a solid setup and the guys over at GC certainly know what they are doing!
This is cool build. Is that your red e46 M3 is in the background of that one pic?

If you decided to go with it (which you should) give them a call and they will gladly talk to you about your setup and pick rates that will suit your needs.Last edited by SEA382; 02-22-2016, 11:25 PM.

Well it's been a while but here's an update.
I've been really happy with the suspension setup! Feels great and is a blast to drive!
Here's her with the rest of my cars...being normal is overrated.
Car ran great for a while with onyl a few minor hiccups. I lost the exhaust over in Coasta Mesa while driving, the rubber hangers gave out...luckily i had a tow strap in my trunk like most people do in the e30's...? haha
Then the car began to knock. Wishfully thinking, I thought maybe it was just rod bearings and I could do a bearing job and be on my way.
Pulled, subframe, dropped pan to find some pretty worn bearings...
The crank measured in spec according to the manual so I slapped the new ones in and went for it. Knock didn't go away so I decided to pull the motor.
Meanwhile I cam a cross and great deal on some seats so this happened:
Picked up a new motor with ~12k on the rebuild with receipts to prove it from DWH parts!
So now it's just a matter of swapping accessories and what not to the new block.
Might take me a while since I'll be replacing a few components along the way and I'd rather not rush it.
