Doing it. The insurance adjuster said he is adding up all the extras from my car and redoing the offer. Calling me back Monday with the new offer, and we will most likely be accepting it.

Probably going to pick up that 635csi and then sell the four door to fund wheels and suspension. That means I will be out of the e30 game )'':

You're never out of the e30 game. I went to jail because of an e30. E30s have quite literally ruined my life. I tried to get away from e30s but they are in my soul. E30 life chooses you.

I don't even have an e30 but I still am an e30.

I wont be far. I'm just going to be in a bigger, more luxurious e30.

[2mAn]

bigger and heavier are NOT E30...

in other news, who has an E30 I can steal some small parts off of (trunk light trigger thing & hood ground cable) Id just go to the dealership but I dont want to wait until next week

What are some options, locally, for getting a 5-speed swap done? In the past, I've had RyanG do the work I don't feel like messing with. Leaving a e30 with him turns into double trips back & forth to Auburn with another person, so much easier if it's local. What person or shop has done a few swaps around here and would be reasonable & recommended? I'm in Walnut Creek.

Tru. I once got taken to the police station because of my E30 (not booked).

Young, dumb, but thankful that the police in my hometown knew my whole family and were easy on me.

Anyone here ever driven or ride in a bagged car? Are they stiff at all or is it super floaty and bouncy?

When Ryan G did my auto to manual swap in my m3 I just waited there. He had that sucker done in 5.5 hours. Good times.

You'd spend the same amount of time driving there and back twice. Might as well just make a day of it.

hey! Don't drag me into your sick fantasies.
Id do the basic swap for $400 with owner providing all needed items.

I'm currently on the billysport/ h&r sport combo and looking to lower it more with coilovers. What're your experiences with legit coilover conversions? (Fortune auto/ Broadway static, BC, Megan, etc)
I know back when I was rolling in a subie everyone trash smacked Megan's and loved fa500's but e30 owners see otherwise.
Also, I'm selling my rs001's to go to a cheaper 16" wheel. Anyone have 16x8 style 5's they want to get rid of? Looking back a few months I should have kept mine >:(

You are already too low. Lowering the car more will do nothing for the way the car handles. H&R sports are already too soft and too low. If you think the car bottoms out now, lower it more and see what happens.
