    Oh I think I've got it worse.

    Been hanging out with these Italian cheese balls. ALWAYS breaking my balls. They have a secret warehouse oh atleast 200 alfas. Got the Pasta Rocket fever whenever I visit.

    Say you live in Southern California and you have a vintage Alfa Romeo, Fiat, or Lancia.  Who do you trust to work on your car?  There are a just over a handful of capable shops left that know vintage Italian mechanicals well, andSanto’s Italian Car Service is one of the best.Born in Sicily, Santo became a hands-on Alfi


    Ive been hands on with these cars. Jeez what a headache. If you don't put everything back where it came from it will never go back on the car. Im talking nuts & bolts LOL. Helped them on theyre new Abarth & they rolled it first track day.

        thats a turbo. cheating. They always looked heavy to me, but pretty much the same/a little less than an e30

            E30 rear subframe, turn the engine the right way, add transmission tunnel, and have a really unique, awesome machine.

                  I know it's already been said but the FC RX7 is a good look especially the turbo version, a lot of the interior bits have same ergonomics as E30s too (Recaro('s), bespoke fabric, driver design etc. too

                      Turbos are pretty quick and I think they were a little cheaper than an m3, they are supposed to be one of the best handling cars ever built

                          under powered, boxy, rwd....
                          What was the american version of the e30?



                          awwww yissss 3.8liter supercharged with 210ft-lbs of torques

                          I could never own one of those bad-boys due to fear of getting blowjayed to death.



                          Hell yeah~ those special feels!

                          Apparently these were all the same car along with the firenza:
                          Buick Skyhawk
                          Cadillac Cimarron
                          Chevrolet Cavalier
                          Pontiac Sunbird

                          boxy econoboxes. Was the e30 really an econobox though?

                          A mustang gt was like 13k (17k for the ragtop) in 89, and a e30 was 29k.... holy shit.

                          yuppie econo box? Maybe. A corvette was 31k back then and I guess a 'better' comparison?

                          Of course it had a v-8 with 240hp, 335 torque, and apparently tipped the scales at around 3200lbs as well (from the wiki). More of the 'sports car' along with the m3.

                          You can find them at higher e30 prices~ 3500 or so. Neat and probably faster than a rx7 or fiero.
