Its going to suck not having this car anymore, but I have a few different solid deals Im working on right now. Who wouldve thought that I would get this close to getting rid of the my monster only to have the daily driver be the pain in the ass...

Usually when I sell a car, I never want to see it again, but Art (CYN RNS) is definitely the right guy for it. I knew this car was going to need someone who see what I see and he certainly does. I had a few people who were all trying to make a deal work, luckily it stays local and I can see the monster at track events that I will most likely also be at with the Datsun.

We'll see... Im looking for a daily driver right now as I sold the Benz too. I know E30s can be wonderful daily drivers, but in LA you need functioning A/C first and foremost. Theres a few other things Im using as requirements:
>200bhp, rear wheel drive, and 4 doors. Manual is a bonus.
I have one car that I have my eye on right now, but still keeping my eyes open.
For now, the Aluminum Monster is getting prepped for a track day where the new owner can feel her in her element. Im hoping to be there too, we'll see

I'm curious - of you guys who have driven or owned both, if you had the choice of an E30 set up the way you wanted it, or a nice 2002 roundie the way you wanted it (with M20?), which would you rather daily and keep long term?
Looks / feel / driving position / handling / power / reliability / parts availability / etc / etc
< EDIT! > I'll start a new thread with this question.
Well first off, very excited to be the new owner of this car and I have to thank Simon for getting this car to the point its at. Ive spent maybe 3 hours driving this car total, pretty much entirely in the canyons around my house, it is great to live where its impossible to drive anywhere without having a minimum of 10 miles worth of esses. Then about 10-12 hours going through every bolt/fluid on the car, and probably another 4 hours ordering parts for the car.
So far a 95 M3 rack along with all the other necessity's for the rack swap are on their way.
A new OMP TRS- E seat since i cannot find a matching Cobra Monaco within the states, most likely that Monaco will go up for sale within a month if anyone wants it, and a matching Schroth harness have been ordered this week.
The goal for this car, to make it as bad ass as possible as an E 30 can be without going broke..
