just got a few photos from Diego of my cluster. i should get it back in my hands this sat.







i was also bored today so i decided to drill out my steering column tamper proof bolts and shim it to lower the steering wheel angle

I'm well jealous! Like someone else said, I like the way you experienced the purchase immediately with the drive back.
Car looks fukn sweet as!!!
Definitely has a subtly unique look.
Good buy!!
Now fuk off and let me cry into my ordinary e36 m3 'vert.
Lol

awesome purchase! that thing is clean and well done.

Im guessing you have the ZF trans because I have a 3.73 in mine and its around 3500rpms at ~80mph ( I have the G260 trans) . Start looking for a 3.46 or 3.25. Beautiful car though, enjoy it

A 3.46 won't really help much. I'm turning 3400 @ 80 indicated with the ZF and a 3.15. With a ZF box and its 1:1 5th, I'd go with that or a 3.25 for mixed street/track use, or a 2.93 for mostly (or all) street.

Congrats on the purchase OP. I also saw it on BaT - looks to be well-sorted.

Not only am i jealous of you picking up such a nice e30 but, i'm also jealous of your ability to really enjoy your purchase with that fun drive back.

So how far, how does the e30 stack against your old e36 and e46?

Curious about this too. Always wondered what an s52 swapped e30 feels like compared to an e36 m3.

Super clean car and it appears like you got a great buy.

[IzzY_325is]

Super clean, this car is inspirational.

[Hooffenstein HD]

How much did it run you? Super clear car dude.


(Yes you know where I'm going with this)

Very nice! That's a good long drive. Glad she made it without issue.

This was the one on the BaT auction right?? Congrats! Im guessing you have the ZF trans because I have a 3.73 in mine and its around 3500rpms at ~80mph ( I have the G260 trans) . Start looking for a 3.46 or 3.25. Beautiful car though, enjoy it

Beautiful car. I'm not one for cages... but that is a nice setup. What wheels are those? This is a very nicely setup car. I need to get me some IS skirts for the turbo car now...

[IceWhite]

That's a neat looking car.

About the temp gauge, I don't think you took those pics just after start up, do you have another one elsewhere in place?
