Nope no inspection. Just pay your registration get a sticker ezpz. I've seen a few pop up in the LA craigslist always stock examples with 30 years of wear and tear. I've seen them from 2k-4k and upwards of 6-7k for a turbo.

Im smog exempt in California that is a god send in itself.

qft

c63 amg swap, including suspension / evo 2 build

do you have a link for this one? I LOVE that 6.3 motor...

I almost bought a 87 190d that was turbo AND manual. blue with blue interior. I couldnt bring myself to buy it even though I really wanted it. Still miss it....

Also, my brother has a grey market cosworth that he's owned for over 10 years and its having trouble passing smog. Its truly a PITA to keep the 16v smog legal in CA.

Do you know if your old e30 has the detachable lip underneath the kidneys? What yard is it in if you don't mind me asking.
All that dirt came out of your carpet?

[E30_Pare]

Hmm I'm pretty sure it did. Has a bolt on each side on the fenders. The yard is "Pick Tu Partes" out in Palmdale Blvd & 90th east.

Surprisingly yea the dirt did get out. The driver mat took a lot of love. Soaked it overnight in carpet cleaner, then dabbed it with a towel to get all the loose dirt lifted. What ever didn't come out easy I just worked it with a hard bristle brush.




Washed it out with a hose, shop vac'd as much water as I could, and dry.

Lorinser lo's for my bucket. Ricer lip included.

Same fitment 16x8 +11. Purchased from the original owner in the 80s for a steal. Time to make these cool again.


Plans. Not my first rodeo with chrome

16x9 +10

Uber rare I'm stoked.

Why arent they mounted... what kind of tease are you!?

[E30_Pare]

I'm gunna take my time on these. I foresee lots of sandpaper and tears in my future. Probably going to have to make up some rear camber arms to stuff those 9s +10 back there. Haven't even considered tire sizes yet. 215/35, 205/40, 205/45. No clue.

Understandable, just dont take too long! Are you going to use the AMG spacers for the front? I saw someone selling those on 190rev or a write-up on what can be used to substitute

[E30_Pare]

I'm already spaced up front. Basically same as the amg spacers just used universal poly bushings cause ricer.

Spaced, cut, and rolled to fit the 8s +11 up front. Very unforgiving.

Some progress on one wheel today.

Turns out they were in great condition. Besides some light rash, a couple nicks, and minor chrome bubbling. No bends or cracks etc. Definitely the best chrome wheels I've ever had.

Here the chrome is smoothed out of most imperfections. Then roughed up for something the primer can stick too.

Think I'm in love. So understated yet aggressive.
