Heck yeah! Welcome back - that didn't take long and I see the car has a 3rd pedal which your red one did not... What's on the agenda for this one?
Edit: Just saw the 2nd post. Nice upgrades!!Leave a comment:

Basically, the Bottlecaps had some HARD tires that were 6 years old. Sadly the SSRs cant/ wont make a return, so I went hunting and decided that I am going to aim towards SpecE30 mods. Decision was made to purchase a set of wheels from Phils Tire Service for a great price on Brand new wheels.
Bottlecaps are only good if you're building a Rally E30...
Hard to tell, but basically the upgrade was a net zero penalty in weight. Huge upgrade in grip, looks and function so I am happy.
Tires were provided by rcompoundusa, a set of 205/50/15 Nankang CR-S v2
The other 'mod' was to remove the beatup Sport Seats and install my Recaro SR2 seats on Planted Seat brackets.
VERY happy with this.
oh yea, I also bought this!
Got a lot more coming, but thats all for now... sort of Last edited by 2mAn; 08-29-2025, 07:20 AM.Leave a comment:

Bought a POS, this is R3Vs fault
I almost bought something fancy and expensive, then the sellers check "didnt clear," so to speak but luckily I had already spent a little time with the POS and was smitten with her charm...
Its a properly neglected E30, but it does have some goodies. As usual, I had a few ideas of what I wanted to do, but I also really needed to clean up a lot of faded plastics. Thats easy, so that was step one. A fresh bottle of SEM Trim Paint was ready for action.
The car didnt have a cat, but came with the factory downpipe that has a stock ETA cat. Called a friend to weld it...
While he did that, I wanted to see how hard it would be to remove the black paint from the bumpers. Shockingly, paint thinner worked fairly well!...
After that, I decided to use some more SEM Trim paint on ... trim.
That was a decent start, but it was time to actually spend some money!Last edited by 2mAn; 08-28-2025, 03:01 PM.
