My new Beater

[James Crivellone]

Picked up this thing for 450 bucks, had a great running engine/tranny, had a blown heater core that I bypassed. still gets a little hot, but I can fix that.


has 202,000 miles, runs fine, new clutch, new tires, new brakes, new oil pan, some other random new stuff

Today I replaced all the rubber fuel lines, and capped off the blown heater control valve









and my project/fun car on the hill

eta addict? :D . Nice buy!!! Is this going to be the tranny donor for your "project?"

[James Crivellone]

ETA's make damn good highway cars,


Yes, that tranny will go into my project in about 6 months, I want to get suspension and brakes done on the car before I start adding more power to it

[DanGillan]

nice seats ;)


im just kidding... wish I had a car like that for parts or whatever. good luck with the tranny swap!

i dont think ive ever seen an e30 with a blue interior before. looks neat!

So you're going to drive the beater a lot? Why not drive your white e30?

The funny thing is how the slushbox is the project/fun car and the daily driver is the 5spd :roll:

He's swapping the manual into the white one.

Yeah I read about it even before you posted. My post was in regards to the wording used:

....and my project/fun car (slushbox) on the hill

[James Crivellone]

because doing a auto to manual swap is soooo hard


Who cares, the white car is getting a new engine anyway, plus mtech1 and the repaint.


the blue one is just the daily beater so I can actually ground my white car for awhile so I can replace some things that I don't have time to do in a weekend....

You got a good deal 8)

[MR 325]

Awesome, I like it 8)

I also have 2 ETA's, haha

Maybe cause the Cirrus is rare on this board
all the Cirrusblau E30s I've seen has the blue interior ;)

[e30Matt]

Mine has tan interior... correction... HAD tan interior.

[Sean]

And my Cirrusblau E30 has tan cloth, until I transfer the gray leather sport interior into it. ;)

Nice beater. Probably should get a cover until that driver's seat has nothin left! :shock: Got a good deal, specially if it runs well.
