    I'm back from a fling with

    a Honda Element and a badass E32.

    now I've returned with a vengeance to the E30 scene with my M30'd cabrio, that really doesn't need anything.

    I don't know what else it needs, or what to do now. I'm at a standstill...I can't just have it "done" there always needs to be something.

      motorcycle?

      For me, it's the most challenging (when doing it safely) and I can always grow with it (as my riding skills improve) and it'll always be my little toy that only I can ride and enjoy :)

        Nice spam bot title lol. You can always get another that needs a ton of work, like a late shell thats trashed to turn into a track monster.

          ughghg....it's worry-free turnkey-a-bility has been my fav part of the swap.
          it just goes.

          me and boosting anything has always turned into a $hitshow.

          if I could bank a tried and tested TCD kit or similar, I would go down that route over winter time...

          part of me wants to swap over to plastic bumper, but the purist in me says to keep the DB's.

                oh yeah, forgot you have kids.

                then yes, keep the drop top. It'll be something you can enjoy with your kids as they get older. They'll always have fond memories of you and that car

                    Played with the execs this summer with my e32.

                    They're fun, but not e30 fun...

                    Really tinkering with a boosted m30.
                    I just want it reliable and turnkey. I'm at a point in my life where I'll prob pay a shop to do everything tho.

                    E32 I cheated on my e30 with.

                            I would lose my pretty ES valance if I swapped to eurobumps no?

                            I think I'd rather "invest" in making the car as pristine and as mint looking as possible.


                            it's fast-ish, (for me) and is used as a cruiser. more power would just get me in trouble.

                            euro bumps, and a minty interior I think are what I need.
