'88 Henna M3 project

Got a few nice pictures of my car from the Old School Reunion last weekend.




And got some love on one of the Jalopnik Oppositelock sub-blogs:

Looking forward to the Leavenworth Drive and the E30 Picnic!!

Love everything about this car.

Did you get the wheel from that steering wheel whore Abe?

[IronJoe]

Haven't made many changes to the car of late, just been driving and enjoying it every chance I get!

I just cleaned it up a bit and yesterday I did some simple maintenance (plugs/cap/rotor) and it's running better than ever. I still kiss the redline every time I drive it!

Car show season is here, so I'll be doing another paint correction detail in the next week or so.

From last year's picnic:



Added a Raid Turbo steering wheel, black with red stitching.



From last weekend after a spirited drive, chasing an E93 M3 through the twisties:

Your slightly higher than mine but I like the ride height. How are the roads in Washington State? I am on J stock and with Mass roads being junk makes me wish for some H&R sports some days.

i have same suspension as you but my car looks lower :?

Interesting, what's your ground-to-fender measurements in the front? What wheel/tire size are you running?


I just recently added 15mm drop hats to the front so it's now pretty much perfect for me. Not slammed but a nice even lowered ride height.

Your car is awesome. I'm looking at flying out to Orange Cnty to buy a Henna e30m3 as well. One of my favorite colors.

Ok, I really suck at updating this thread.

Last November, Stephen Sayer shot my car for the 2012 e30 calendar:





Been daily driving it:




Took it to the Old School reunion, the Leavenworth Drive and of course the e30 Picnic.












Added Motorsport door handles:






And Startec tails:




And last but not least, a 10" Lukebox with amp rack and all the goodies.





Still driving it every day.

Had some fun yesterday:







Yup, that's my fuel line. Found a nice little puddle under my car after letting it idle for a few minutes yesterday. This was less than an hour til our weekly r3v GTG. It was either run to autozone and get some fuel hose or leave the car at home.... Of course, I wasn't about to give up that easy.
