Yeah, clean the ICV with brake/carb cleaner and check the TPS, maybe the adjustment is on the edge and not turing on the ICV when you let off the gas.

Any of you guys, looking to get a little less lag on your take offs? I'm speaking to stock M20 guys.
I have this MAF bootleg that I purchased from Castro MotorSports years ago, i paI'd like $375 or something. I'm obviously out of the M20 gang as most of you know, but I still own this chipped ECU, 3" MAF and wires which make the car kind of peppy and more responsive. If anybody is interedted, I could let it go for about half of what I paid since it's just collecting dust.

My 20 year old has been looking for an e30 and finally scored. Today we bought an 88 325 SETA for $1500. Crackless dash, clean unmolested interior, nice solid foundation for a project. The front does have its issues but nothing that's going to kill the deal. Its got 174k on the working ODO. I replaced his driver comfort seat with my leather one as the seat wasnt just torn but the mechanical functions were fucked. Bought it from a Mechanic from Irvine BMW so the car was properly maintained. Drove it home 45 miles at 75MPH and drove great. So far happy with the purchase. My son will be creating a profile upon my request so that he can come to know all you crazy e30 owners.
Thanks

List of things it needs.
2 Lachsilber fenders
front diving board bumper
passenger window regulator
Fogs
Sunroof drive cables (only opens upward on one side)
Tires (still have some life but will need replacements soon)
Suspension refresh wanted but not required at this time.

Not bad for the price. Runs great and does not hesitate on throttle response

front diving board
Fogs

I have these, bumper off a 88 as well. Will include all the turnsignals too.

Do you need both fogs?

Random question but do e30s have just wheel dust caps in the front or both front and rear ? I just noticed i'm missing them in the front

Weird, I have dust caps on the front but not rear.

Front but not rear.

Crazy thing happened to me the other day. I was getting some Teryaki from my favorite spot in Gardena in the M3 and as I'm walking back to my car these 2 guys were talking about it. They saw me getting in and ran over to talk E30's. They knew what it was and one of them used to own an E30. So after chopping it up for about 5 minutes, the ex E30 owner asks me if I want a car cover. I say sure, how much? He goes I can tell you love these cars so you can have it. I got his number and picked up the cover tonight. Gotta love car enthusiasts.
