Im new to the e30 and r3v scene, but have had my fair share of mechanical experience (use to work an Acura dealership) and did all the wrenching on my b5 a4 from turbos, fmic installs, timing belts etc.

if you guys need anyhelp, let me know. as long as I dont have a midterm, id be more than willing to come meet some e30 owners in the Boulder area

welcome to R3v!! you aren't the one who contacted me on CL a while back inquiring about 24v swaps, are you?

[geeky]

nope. i bought the one on craigslist that was $1400 in westminster. Got it for $1300 with koni adjustable shocks, conforti ecu, h&r sport springs.

Have all the receipts for timing belt, clutch, water pump, etc.

car drives like a dream, minus the intermittent speedo and gas gauge lol.

but hoping to paint the car this weekend, as it really needs some TLC on paint. Planning on doing matte white >:) but I need to borrow someones garage for the entire weekend -.-

[iamsam]

why matte white? That's an odd choice... not sure what that would look like... maybe printer paper?

Sam, we need to have words... Regarding my diff and whether or not my car can still be resprayed by said individual for said low low rate...

words:

I still want your diff, but I have no time to do ANYTHING

and

As far as I know, that guy will do a re-spray for $200 if you prep and buy materials.

$200? The price has gone down..... Holy hell.... We need to talk more in depth, cause I may want to respray the color it is now... So that'd mean we'd just need to prep the exterior right? Simple enough? Or am I nuts

no you are not nuts. the price hasn't gone down, it was always $200. The deal is, you prep and supply all the materials, he has the pint gun, compressor, garage, etc, he will help mask and then spray the car with as much paint and in as many coats as you like. He can also offer tech support for prepping, but that is pretty straightforward.

[Bishop]

On a side note.... My tires need to be rotated bad, maybe do it today or tomorrow, or switch to the caps.... Also, Pelican shipped some stuff today...

[geeky]

Matte white because a really good friend of mine back home from seattle ended up doing his e90 in matte white and I fell in love with the scheme immediately.

[iamsam]

first of all, that is a bad-ass looking E90, and second, I can't tell from the pictures, I would be curious to see matte white in person.

[Bishop]

I caught that edit Sam ;)

[Bimmerman325i]

Well, it's trying to be an M3 but is very clearly not. Show car only status.

Matte paint looks alright, i'll give it that. Not sold on the rest.
