    You don't need a bbk, nor sways. They have loaner helmets. I have seen the condition of your tires and yes you do need tires. As far as money goes you can just go old school and sell dat ass.

        It's doable, I'm just trying to unload all of my excess of hoarded parts, to finance the list.
        Ya, out of that you only really need tires. The rest will be fun to change as you go so you will notice each one and how the car responds

          Tires are the only thing you need. What are you selling?

            Text me and I can set you up. ;)

            But really, I'm gonna remove the spacers on my wheels and look for a good tire to auto cross with.
            What is recommended for the 16x8, et 15, that I can still daily?

              205/50/16. That's what I have on my style 5. You can probably go a little bigger without spacers.
              My e30 dies while I drive sometimes but just once, after that it runs fine after. Any suggestions?
              I looked at cps, and it's within specs. Swapped afm.

                I used to run the sport comp2 in 205/50 which looked nice, wore well to be driven daily, and held up nicely at the autox. Also only like 80 per tire.

                  They recently changed the tread design on them though.

                  Still a decent tire and I run the newer set on my e30 with happiness.

                    You can get a lot of tires in 205/45/16 and its not as meaty as a 50 will be. Your car is pretty low so the thinner sidewall is to your advantage

                        I would check availability, but Im willing to bet your price/selection in 205/45s is better than the 205/50

                            Are the main and fuel pump relay new? I'll never own an e30 again without being sure, along with the cps. Electronic cutoff or does it sputter or something first?

                              I just had a problem with sputtering snd sometimes stalling in turns. Turned out to be c191 injector harness connector fitted on late model 325i only. 89-91 I believe.

                                I replaced all 3 relays maybe like 2 years ago. In the mornings the car will sometimes crank, after like 3 times of me trying .It'll then idle for a bit then sputter/die or if it doesn't die,I'll take off and I'll be driving and it'll die while driving. Ive noticed that sometimes when it wants to die, that ill give it gas but it doesnt do anything. Kind of annoying sometimes I'm at a light idling then I'll take off and as soon as I go it'll die leaving me with all my dash lights on in the right corner.
                                On the freeway when it dies and I'm holding the gas down and I let go of the clutch it doesn't turn on (popping the clutch). It will turn on only if I do the key on the 1 position and then put it in the 2 position, then popping the clutch works.
                                My car has a 1987 325is harness that doesn't have the connector underneath the intake manifold.
