    Fixed my cigarette lighter after 5+ years. I had to fix it because my tires have leaked for 5+ years, and I finally bought a 12v tire pump. How's that for a proper fix action?

        Lowered it back down onto four wheels after replacing the rear diff, motor mounts, the gas tank, the transmission and clutch, lightening the flywheel, and replacing the boots on the front axles.

        I had forget how low to the ground it was after having it on 21" high jackstands for a while.

          My cars been up on jackstands for the last week and a half.

          Replaced and upgraded a few things -


          Mtech 2 steering wheel
          All new shift linkages
          New SS Swaybars
          Treehouse Racing CABS
          Fuel filler neck hose
          Brake Pads
          Rotors
          new Rear Calipers
          Falken Tires
          ESM Rims
          ECS Wheel spacers
          replaced FPR
          fresh Wheel bolts

          Probably already forgetting a few things. Its funny, you go down under to fix one or two things and end up replacing a plethora of other parts....

          Gotta love e30s though.

            Put the seats back in on their new brackets, about to leave the house with the kid and go flog it around for a while.

              Awesome. My 12-year-old son loves sliding around in my E30, just like I used to love riding along while my dad drifted his old '72 Capri V6 around on the Angeles Crest Highway.

                          Started back on my e30 project this week, and today I was coating the floor pans with POR15. I had to replace some metal, so I thought I would use POR15 to protect the new metal.

                              seafoamed the bitch.
                              fixed drivers side turn signal.
                              failed wiring my fogs.
                              and procrastinated painting all my trim with plasti-dip :)
                              it was a good day.
