Why do I exchange thumbs up with clean JDM cars on the street but other e30 guys don't look twice?
Where did our community go?

JDM kids appreciate our cars, they respect them. To our commuity since we know what we have we seen it as "just another e30".......i think.

i thumbs up a lot of e30's. i feel like 60% are just regular people that are driving an old car that happens to be an e30 vs actual e30 enthusiasts.

[itskingsteelo]

sometimes i just flash my lights at other e30's and ive gotten some good responses.

I got thumbs-up from a 240z, it felt weird.

Someone help!


The Stud Bolt I need (#2 in the drawing diagram) (M7X85 - P/N:07129908126) that is causing my intake leak is NLA. How can I get one besides finding one off of a junkyard car? I've taken a look around home depot.

Anyone have a m42 engine for parts and willing to sell me the stud bolt and nut?

On my m20 head it uses M7 x 70mm. I'm guessing that's too short?

For one I rarely see e30's while in my own e30. And when I do its a non enthusiast driver who doesn't even blink at the fact that theres is another car like theirs passing them by. I kind of stopped waving to other e30's cause I've been rejected too many times. On another note, at least once every 2-3 days, I get thumbs up from tons of other random cars besides the large amount of JDM people and the occasional how much would you sell it question from them too! Just the other day I spotted some dude in a 135i from behind at the previous stop light trying to catch up to my e30, he then sped up next to me and hand gestured to run each other from a 30mph roll, I obliged and he left me behind, of course, but it's funny that he even considered. I could tell he wanted to chat because he slowed and waited for me to catch up but i was just about to pull into the business I was headed to so I just chucked up the deuces and went on with my day.

yeah that be too short, because that stud holds the upper intake to the lower intake and leaves just enough room to fasten it down with a hex-nut.

Order this one. Part number 07129901481. It's 10mm longer but I'm guessing that will work?!

I get thumbs ups in the shiny car. Mostly from older guys with more badass cars. It's strange.

The M20 head uses 8mm studs, not 7mm. The valve cover studs are 6mm.

Lol. Yeah every time I get recognition from a nicer/faster/expensive car, I'm like, by all means lets trade?

I'm talking clearly fixed up e30's here. MT1 wings, low, wheels, etc.

Maybe they don't know what a touring is? Oh well.
I'll just continue flailing my arm out the window

How hard is it to put a late model rear valence on a early?

im doing it right now and its a pain in the ass

cutting it off from the donor car is a bitch (s/o to simon) and then you have to clamp it on to the early model and weld/screw it on
