Thats a good looking cabrio you got theres...

[Jand3rson]

Ah yes, the old E30. I loved that damn car...

1988 325, bought for $3200 from a female friend about 4 or so years ago. 17" Mille Miglia MM-II's, fully reupholstered and rebuilt sport seats, a Z3 1.9 SSK, and tons of other little mods. Jordan, my brother in law and myself swapped an M20B25 into her in July of '05, in sometimes triple-digit temperatures and had a blast doing it. She was all set to get lowering springs and plastic bumpers, until I had to go and be a complete and utter moron, and total the poor thing doing something stupid. Anyway, here she is, Kozmo:







And the aftermath of thinking I could drive like Schumi, only about 3 weeks after finishing the engine swap. Came around a wet corner way too hot, and understeered into the oncoming lane, taking out an '85 Honda Accord at about 50 mph, head on. I fractured my sternum and spent the night in the hospital. The paramedics told me I was lucky to be alive, and I remember that every time I drive my new car.

the grass kinda hides the ride height a bit, this thing was a true 4x4 :p

Man I remember your old car Mahle...



4 days after I got it, already had euro grilles and the convex wide rearview mirror. Euro ellipsoids came 3 days later...there is no cure for the mod bug.

Oh, by the way... here's an OLD timer.... just ended up being a "current" timer because I swapped shells along the way. :)

I don't think I could've gotten a better 1st car to learn to drive and do stupid shit in. She was a tank. :)

E30sd: Was your car turbo'd or is that inlet just for a intake?

Rwdrift: Your car will always be up there with one of my favorite non-M's, boy do you need to get back in an e30.
