So I apologize if this is too "on topic" for this thread, but what kind of reaction do you usually get from bystanders when you're in your E30?
I only ask because I've been lead to believe that most reactions are usually positive and that the general public thinks these are cool or "neat". Most people look at me/my car like "WTF is that?"
It makes no difference to me, but I do feel like I potentially missed something from staring at the gauges for my vitals at red lights.

Not buy E30 parts. Buying used stuff is good if you assess the pros and cons. I got a trunk with a IS lip for free and complete GC coils for $400.

Back when I still had an e30, I seemed to get plenty of thumbs ups, random red light compliments and a few offers to buy. It was a pretty dang clean '87 IS.

I hadn't bought parts for it in a while. Last few weeks have reminded me why I'm so glad it's not my only car. I just need the ignition setup because I had to drill through mine and fucked it up. The blower motor is new from ECS, but we'll see how it holds up.

Ugh ECS. But they do carry a larger variety of parts... Yeah, same here. My new non OEM MAF crapped out. New one is $300. Coilpacks should be replaced too, but they work for now.

I'm just trying to get tires on it and a fan that works past 2. Not having to start my car with a screwdriver will just be a bonus. It definitely needs a tune-up and some pretty major bodywork, but it'll do.

Yeah I get it. Haha mine was like that. There were no keys/tumbler and the ignition switch was stripped. Only the provided flathead screwdriver would turn it.

For a while, I had it set up with a 3 way switch and button to start. Then I realized I could just take the damn switch off of the back of the assembly. I use the provided screwdriver as well lol. One thing is for sure. I'm getting like 5 of these keys made.

Hahaha yeah I made 3 copies immediately. Still haven't gotten around to changing the door locks.
