My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

[88SuperETABD]

I'd been looking for one forever (any lip)...they're super rare...just got lucky. I plan on snagging rare parts anytime i see them...just a matter of me getting lucky...right spot at the right time.

[HarryPotter]

WHHHAAATT god damn. Would you be willing to see if you could pick me one up I'd pay you nicely!

[88SuperETABD]

20ish dollars.

[HarryPotter]

^^ Sarcasm? I found mine at the junkyard...

No sorry if it came off that way. But I love the "i" lip. Granted I do like the is one too.

How much did you pay for it? I don't have any yards around here. :(

[noE30]

Haven't updated in a bit...Finally getting some money to put towards the car :) Got 2 rear wheel bearings (Not yet installed). Finally completed my front end...got my missing pieces, but the 'i' lip will be holding me over till its replaced with a iS one...also got DOPE new wiper blades... Bosch Icon...pretty legit...love the look, work great. And got a maplight rear view mirror!!!! (not installed yet). Also found some sport seats!!!! for only 50$ :) totally work perfectly functionally...will be reupholstering with black vinyl and a synthetic suede material for the inserts in the middle. Some pics.





seats will be looking sorta like this

That is sweet. How do you like the maplight mirror? I kinda want one since it's so dark in my car at times.

So...i jailbroke my iPhone today...now have a video recorder...here's some iphone movie clips...theyre bad...but its atleast something....videos have been requested...this is the best i can do.

[88SuperETABD]

Yay! Found where the gas tank was leaking and fixed it...No more leaky tank...figured out which wheel bearing was bad (drivers side rear)...thats next on my list...Also rewelded my exhaust...added some extra support...cuz it had broke from me bottoming out...no more rattling!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in love again...can finally add a full tank of gas...can take turns without worrying about slipping out and getting sideways (although it was fun sometimes) Also...gave her a wash...and added/spliced another light in the trunk. Heres some pics.



More light!

Monster truck! :)

Yea...I've been brought into cars loving Chevy...kinda branched out...now im Chevy + Euro...wouldn't be suprised if a ls1 ended up in my e30...now that i know its possible haha :) I wish...I'm actually gonna keep the e30...i love it way too much to ever get rid of it...i'll drive it to the ground...my next car will be a white b5(v6biturbo) Audi s4 Avant. I need a car to drive in the snow....iX would be nice...but still too small for friends + equipment.

I hear ya - sorta same situation. Always around cars - especially Chevies growing up. My uncle though only ever bought German cars - he had some pretty cool rides - Couple of VW Scirocco's, Audis, etc. Rubbed off on his kids who had a Audi Coupe and even better an '89 M3. M3 is the only one still around.

Got the e30 bug by random chance and have been loving it.

Good luck with your build.

wow...that sucks then...i really wanna get rid of that...i also got a bunch of shift knob slop...how can i fix that? I have some urethane bushing things that came with my short shifter that i didnt use...is that why? like i can move my shifter around so much while in gear.

Probably. New busings should help withthe shifter slop.

This thread has me ready and primed to do my top end swap on my 88 325.

I have had everything ready to go for weeks.

Did you do any head work (dip/mill/test) before install?
