Operation: Obtain e30>>SUCCESS>>Initiate project #2

I might have missed this but if you have not already done so, it would be really cool if you could do a build thread of how to build the door panels!

[Spyke]

I can change the door panel graphics to this before the sale as well:

Well, after a year of planning, I am officially moving to Hawaii.

Could be as early as July, so car will be back up for grabs very soon. Will keep this updated.

[Spyke]

Went through my receipts folder and did a full spreadsheet documenting everything minus hardware and services. I think as soon as my girlfriend confirms the dates she's leaving to do her medical study Le-ah will be up for sale officially. Friends and forum members will have first dibs, so if anyone is interested please let me know. (The spider web graphics on the door panels can be peeled leaving them blank Black if you wish, which will look very clean.)

Dude that '02 is badass in orange.

[Spyke]

Willing to bet it was much more vibrant originally, personally we love it since we are big Halloween fans lol. I would kill to keep all 3, but I won't be able to unless my girlfriend can get a job and help out with bills.

I'm curious to see if that orange color can be brought back, or is it supposed to be pastel like.
Are you planning on keeping the e30 still, or going through with selling it?

[Spyke]

Aaand she's home

[Spyke]

As fate would have it, I think this is happening tonight:

Cluster is working 100% now, harvested some parts from a donor cluster, finally!

Toying with the idea of selling her to get a smog exempt 1600 or 2002 this summer as well... just kinda torn since I've already done so much work to get the e30 running nicely.

holly shit, nice details and nice door cards! i need a pair!

[Spyke]

Finally had a chance this weekend to put a Timecert in the oil pan. No more temporary plugs!!!

[BlkE30v]

door cards are nice "i like"

Nice rotors

[Spyke]

Installed new brakes and pads today, such a huge improvement. Obviously not putting down any kind of power since it's just a chipped ETA, but I wanted something better than stock. CAtuned put together a superb kit for under $400 that includes Stoptech slotted rotors all around, new pads, and sensors
