The Malaga Bomber (no rust this time)

[AbsorbantNut]

LOL.....that car ("trusty rusty" during my tenure) gets passed around like a cheap #####! that is now the fourth owner since i had it, and there were at least a half dozen before me!

and with all those owners....it still hasn't been repainted!

lol you've already told me this a couple times. Thanks though, good to know that the only "fresh" paint it's gotten in the past couple years has been house paint

The Bomber is officially out of my hands! Drove it to the buyer's shop today where we discussed the future plans for the car. Look's like I'll still be working on it

Ahhh my achy breaky heart! Lol
Question. Maybe I missed it but how were you going to run that e30 diff in there? And where did you get your axles

I'm sad to see it go. Very excited to see what's next. Life goes on.

Yes it does, new stuff constantly coming in and old stuff leaving :)

I'm just breaking your balls. I think your car was a bit too much e30 into a 2002. I like the 4 cylinder. It's not fast, but they can be quite quick. Build the right suspension and it's downright capable and agile.

And it's still a dinosaur compared to anything else. But you knew that.


I'll probably always have a 2002 in a garage somewhere. E30s were my gateway to the older stuff, where I belong.

haha I know, no worries. Yeah, I mean the car had an m20 & g260, but thats about where the e30 stuff ended. The rest of the car takes so much work to get up to snuff though, like suspension & all that jazz. Like you said, an m10 with some ITBs, a nice cam, and a 5 spd swap probably would've been enough....but my setup was pretty practical too ~250-270hp to the wheels. I don't/understand the need to go for even more in this chassis though, like people shooting for 400+. I mean, there's a point where it's not really useable. I like to think I kept it in the useable range haha


I have a similar mindset, but I'm kinda stuck on e30s. They have a great balance between old and new technology. I'll own other projects, but these are where my <3 will always b

Thanks bud! Yeah, it was fun while it lasted, and at the very least I'll have a few cool stories to tell. I'll have to start a couple new threads for the new projects

Damn, that sucks. I really enjoyed seeing the cars progress through instagram but I can totally get where you're coming from selling it. I'm sure whatever you get into next will be at the least just as awesome.

I thought I knew you



but I really have no idea who you are inside

idk man, this car never really did it for me. I think it's because I was always working on it & never really enjoyed a simple 2002.

Why would you do such a thing

College, bills, personal goals, and the reason above

Well I hope the new owner come here and continues with the car. Kinda bummed this thread is ending.

I don't think he's very active on the forums. It's a friend of mine buying it though, so I will post updated pics of it now & then to keep you guys in the loop
