Even today's classic BMW part prices are pretty damn good, my FD was a rude awakening on that.

E30 economy has moved up to a different tax bracket lol.

From upper middle class in the 80s-90s, to lower class in the 2000-2010s, and now we are back right in middle class in the 2020s. We are essentially goldilocks and the 3 bears. Someone make the children book already.

Now I'm back to find parts to refresh my 35+year old suspension....crazy how much prices have increased from when I got in this game in the early 00's

Bluntech has some good options.

Welcome back, we now have more interesting bots.

Actually, that makes me wonder what would happen if we keep a bot like a pet. Engage with it, etc. Would it become fun?

Thank you!

Glad to be back into the e30 scene. I considered leaving but after some personal growth, I decided to stick it out.
Luckily I never sold my e30, just experimented with other mechanical forms of excitement of the two-wheeled variety.

You should see the one I made out of PVC pipes, nichrome foam cutter wire, misc hardware, and a cheap air compressor pressure regulator. It works pretty well, takes some fiddling around with though.

Mine was out of a paint tin, a tyre valve, a push bike air pump, and a soldering iron. Pretty sure it got me put on a watch list

No fuel smell on short drives around town when its cool out. I'm strongly thinking the evap system is not happy. i think it's time to buy a smoke tester, i've only been putting it off for years.

its annoying because i want one where i can adjust pressure (maybe 0.1-10psi) and see the pressure, then also adjust flow. pressure prevents breaking shit but also able to test charge pipe welds. flow lets me see the size of a leak and dial back the smoke to pinpoint. all the amazon crap doesn't seem to offer both for either an internal or external pump.

Switching topics... Going through the 16" wheel thread. Damn, I wish I could go back to 2010 where all these clean E30s existed. Too bad I was 11 years old.... alas, I can dream.
