AWDBOB's Newest AWD- Heidi

[rzerob]

Is anyone interested in my 6UL setup?

Brand new 205/55 Dunlop DZ102s
57.1 to 67.1 hub adapters

Have like 10 miles on the setup.

PM me if you're local. I'm selling the wheel setup and then putting the car on fleebay once it gets warm.

What happened? Done with E30's or ix's?

What happened? Done with E30's or ix's?

Nothing bad happened! This is a decision that I've been avoiding for about a year or so and am finally coming to terms with it. I still love E30s and always will, but I'm relocating 11 hours away from home and can't bring the car with me, and really just all around have to put my car hobby on hold to focus on my career. Which is good and bad. Never thought I'd actually be able to do it, but it's to the point where it's a huge distraction (even though it's a distraction I enjoy).

BUT, I'm 100% going to get back into an E30 in 5 years, once I get going in what I want to do.

My best of both worlds plan:

I'm currently attempting to convince my pops to buy it so I can buy it back when I'm ready, and the odds are looking pretty good

Going away to college? What career? Good luck with your endeavors.

I appreciate it!

I actually finished my undergrad two (?) years ago now. I'm headed to Indianapolis (around where I studied), to reconnect with the network of friends/musicians I have out there.

I have a degree in jazz guitar, so I'm pursuing professor opportunities and a bunch of other things in that field. But when it comes down to it, you really just have to go out and do it.

I have a decent job as a mechanic back here in PA, but it's a hometown go nowhere type of deal. So I can a) keep tinkering with cars and spend my money on e30s or b) move out, do what I like, and get into e30s again in a few years when I've settled in a new area/career.

How much are you planning to sell the ix for, if dad doesn't buy it? I am not asking for myself, I don't need another ix nor another E30, I am just curious to how much you think you can get for it.

Well I sold my last iX for $5K with rust issues, so I'd hope that I could get at least $8K for a rust free fully optioned '88.

I think $6000 is cheap for this car.

price on the rims?

Absolutely. It's the cleanest car I've seen in person besides Anthony's (audiquattro)! That's my 'I know I could get at least that' price.

price on the rims?

Around $1K. It's all new.

Any updates on the car or your move?

Any updates on the car or your move?

I'm all settled in Indianapolis! Car is back in PA hanging out in a barn under a cover. I have no idea when I'll get to it again. Or maybe I'll forget about it and it'll be a 'barn find' for someone in 30 years haha.

I met a dude at the gym the other day with a pretty nice E30M3, so I'm contemplating bringing the car out here with me to get involved in the small scene we have.

I'm hesitant because I really don't want to be stressed about the 25 y/o project car mentality. I still need to do the subframe, window motors, sunroof motor, lock cylinders, etc. Bunch of stuff that I don't want to get into for a long time.

My Scoob has been dead reliable, got 20mpgs towing an enclosed trailer with 3,000lbs of stuff in it 650 miles, so that's making me happy.

Good to hear you're all set up! Yeah it's tough to try to get settled into a new area and spend the time the car deserves. That's exactly what I'm doing on my car next too haha Hope it all works out!

Absolutely, thanks dude. TBH I'll probably sell the iX once I finish all of the stuff it needs and get a rwd car, since that's essentially what I've wanted this whole time. A clean Zinno latemodel would motivate me enough to keep a car... for longer than year.... or 6 months. My heart was never totally in the second iX from the beginning. And is especially not in it anymore.
