    Well My current E30 is a peice of crap. My next one will be better condition, and thus I will take pride in doing any and all maintenance myself. But until then all work on this one will be done in the name of convenience. My next E30 is going to be a 1985-87 5-speed vert, I just dont have the money right now to go find one. But when I do That is what ill be getting.

      I fucked mine by looking for an E36 to swap the LS into.

      If I find one, I'll probably just part the E30 out or sell it cheap.

        replaced CV axle! damn the old one was loose!
        I could shake it around and you'd think I was holding the heaviest maraca of all time.

                  I put my ellipsoids in yesterday. No HID's yet because they are on back order. Also, I put in a 21mm cabrio sway bar with new bushings and end links. Also replaced the voltage regulator in the stupid valeo alternator. Big day!

                    Yesterday I measured the engine bay. Interesting random findings are that:

                    1. Turbo 5-cylinder Volvo engine would definitely fit.
                    2. Maserati Bi-Turbo 4-valve 2.8L twin-turbo V6 would fit, so long as you had custom high-mount turbo manifolds
                    3. Maserati 3200GT twin-turbo V8 would fit, again with high-mount manifolds

                    Of course, why you would want to fit these engines is beyond me, but might be handy for others to know? If they're legally retarded that is...

                        This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.

                          Yesterday I pulled the '88 325is '91 325i(s) and '92 325ic into the driveway and prepped for engine removal on all 3, wires, hoses, radiators all loose, next is the 5 speed swap and running engine for the 325ic :pimp:

                            Just pulled out pretty much the whole interior minus the dash. Going to pull the carpet soon and either dye it dark grey/black, or find out about having it done professionally.

                              Nope!, I've been working on my baby for 4 yrs and has always been a SoCal car.

                              I have to admit though, everytime I look at his sig I take a double look because our cars seem too similar except for the old school ACSs on my car.

                                For some reason I liked the tan carpet with your car. It just needed some grey cloth rear seats to finish it off.
