The a/c in my car blows so cold it makes my knuckles hurt. I have to move the vents way or maybe it's i'm just getting old lol.

I saw that. I thought you picked up another.

LOL that was my 1st e30. total pos m10 car. Not sure why but someone deleted the post. Kinda bummed because it was getting a lot of action. Unfortunately no e30s for me. Maybe when they get cheap again and I have a yard to store more cars. I did pick up a 96 850R back in Nov as my new project. Currently running 15psi ( 5 over stock ) downpipe,catless 3" bigger injectors and a 5spd swap on its way in a few weeks.

Thanks. I shot that at Sears Point over the weekend. SVRA was racing, and the car wanted to be in the races. The closest it got was parking in the Media lot. :(

The car didn't start out looking that nice, but its been a 16 year long project. I do vintage race it when I have the $$$$, but that doesn't happen often. Its street legal, but will still run pretty well in class.

Here is a short video a friend and I did a few years ago.

Very cool video and clean car!

Thanks. Here is the evolution of the car over the past 16 years.
This is what I started with, in the days before digital cameras.


Most of the bodywork done, the first time.


Mt Shasta All Datsun meet 2005

First track day, Thunderhill 2005

Sears Point 2006

Mugged by some punk in a Saturn Sept 2006.


3 wheeling through the autoX course 2009

First vintage road race, Laguna Seca April 2011 I finished 21 of 58 cars, and was the only car at the entire race to be driven to and from the race under its own power.



March 15 2011 The metamorphosis begins




April 25 2011, reborn a new car.


Its been a long, exciting, frustrating, amazing ride. I've learned so much from this car. Of the 3 amazing cars I own, this is still by far my favorite.

More than the E30 M3 too?

Yes, the roadster is more rewarding to drive fast, because it makes you drive. The M3 is all business, almost to the point that its too easy to drive hard. It does nothing evil, it just takes care of business in a very controlled manner. I also don't have the emotional attachment to the M3 that I do with the roadster. The Alfa will be interesting. I don't know what to expect with it.

Don't see any other E30s on the entry list but figured I'd mention it:

Headed to the Fontana Autocross tomorrow, gimmie a holler if you come through, I'll be the only iX anyone there has seen in the last 10 years. :p

I've been to a few of those with Speed Ventures, I like them, but haven't had time to go in a while. I plan to return to autox & track by the fall :)

I had a Datsun Roadster 1600 SPL311 for close to fifteen years. Loved that little car. They have a Mercedes engine. Nice little four banger, hard on head gaskets though.I still have a short block in the back yard if anyone wants it.
