Rust goes both ways

[caffeinatedsoap]

Sounds like history repeating itself.. this is like a line by line recount of my 87e I had a few years ago. It was a rusty pile of shit, the inside smelt like "old car" and it broke continuously.

And it was hands down the most special car to me I've owned. LOL I don't get it.

There are cigar butts in the ash tray and I don't have the code for the radio.

Progress report 7/3/09:
Put new front rotors and pads on. While bedding them in I blew out a brake line.

In other news my M3 still works great though it couldn't make it up a muddy hill in the hills of eastern Kentucky with direzzas.

That is all

make this the drift beater, daily the m3. when this e30 craps out, get a nicer one. i know where you come from on the making it owrk.

i did the same for my e30 but my chassis was not even close to being this rusted.

Rust is a virtue. I think I'm going to use this car to test all the bad product out there and write reviews. If anyone wants to have suggestions I'm open. I think I'm starting with cosmo coilovers.

Edit: On a related note e36 m3 eibach lowering springs fit in the back but don't lower the car.

ha ha ha!! that is an interesting use for your E30!

try $50 ebay coilovers, and the IE weld-on spring seats for your front struts. I would be very curious to see how that will turn out.

The E36 eibach springs are meant to carry a much heavier load, so that's why they won't lower the (much lighter) E30.

At long last IT RUNS! Sounds terrible because I haven't gotten the exhaust welded back on but I drove it to my new place.

Almost two months from the first post I have a working e30, it only cost me way too much though.

Wow, those are for an e36 but they will work?

[caffeinatedsoap]

If they do... sold

[caffeinatedsoap]

Got a little something in the mail.

Ground control? I think not!


I even went all out and spent the extra $5 to get ones with "scales" on them


A little under 2.5"


2.5" oo nice


$59 shipped to my door, I think I got robbed. Now for the next question, how do these go on? They didn't come with any instructions.
