My friend back in the day had a M10 318 that was bone stock but had some sticky Toyos. I have never seen Hicks Rd raped so hard before in my life. Body roll and a complete momentum car, but damn it was fun. Also, they are the lightest E30 to show up on our shores. Even after adding the better parts you still have a nice weight advantage over other E30s. Important if you are into those things.

Agha jaan,

Last summer (and the one before that), we had a couple drives out on Hwy 35/Skyline area of SF Peninsula. It was a bunch of us with swapped, even turbo s52 e36, Porsches, and my M42 318i.

These are some srs roads and I was able to more or less keep on guys' bumpers with my chipped lowered, slightly stiffened 318i roof-racked four door with shitty ass tires.

Guess you could say simplicity isn't always FTL. :finger:

Not a bad deal here even after getting them fixed. Love the ways these look on e30's.

Well I tried to help my car but I made it worst. E brake adjusting with the rotors on is a little beyond me, gonna have the guys at my local shop help me out with my ebrake issue....


I need to order new dust shields. Shit I might as well order new wheel bearings and get the subframe redone at the same time lol.

Funnily enough, I wanted to post this in here yesterday.

[Pantless Spency]

Called my friends down the street, they gave me some good advice, I'll try and tackle it tmw mornin before work.

[mbonanni]

just send it back to canon to get fixed. the mark II is really old now and not worth the money.

Sorry meant Mark III. Also looking at the 7D vs 6D vs 5d M3. Any input? Money wise there is a huge difference and honestly i rarely shoot low light, mostly outdoor landscape, portraits and cars.

[Cabriolet]

anything in the canon line that isnt a 5d mk iii is a waste of time.


also just emailed rotiform for a quote

Anything full frame is beast. I would try to invest in glass rather than getting a really expensive body. That said a 5D Mark 2 with good glass would be more than enough. Just look at the specs of a camera and ask your self would you be able to use it to its full potential? Good low light performance is nice to have in general. You'll find your self frustrated when you're pushing the ISO and your images come out like poo. I shoot with a 60D and it's enough for me. If I had the money I would get a Sony A7S and use old Minolta glass because I hate carrying around heavy gear.

well i've used the 5D mk2, had a 60D, used the t4i and 20D, and now own the 5d mk3. i've shot 69,000 shots. so if any of you think you know better than me, go ahead and correct me. if not, just stalp.
the 5D mk3 is amazing at video, in low light it is amazing. where all the other canons have failed. it actually focuses in low light. it isn't grainy as a mofo in low light.

now if you dont have $2700 to drop. the mirrorless cameras are way way better for the same money. lighter, smaller, faster, easier to use.

shot this on my camera a few weekends ago.


PS the 5d mk3 has on camera HDR and has about 20 settings with in that.
4/5 shots with my 60D were out of focus.

[bastianshaw]

WoW thanks for the new wallpaper what a great shot!

[3vilE30]

I'm just saying, having the latest and greatest gear doesn't necessarily make you a better photographer….But that's none of my business





Taken with a 60D with a lens that costs <$100

I've shot with most xxD canons, 7D, 5D2, most rebels even the Rebel G(film), 70's Pentax Super ME, some film nikons etc..
But yes the 5D3 is a far superior camera.
HDR isn't hard to do even with the 60D. I'd rather take a six shot bracket and then merge them in HDR Pro instead of the three shot bracket you get on camera with the 5D3. You probably had it on the wrong AF setting where it refocused before every shot, its easier just to put the lens on MF.
