Vibration damper is held on by 3 bolts around the edges, not the large center nut

lolololol, this car was for sale last month (or maybe two months ago) for $1000. It had some bling bling chromies on it at the time and a half finished M50 swap. Now it has XXRs and is $6500...haha

Ugh. Sad that this is "normal" these days.

Yea son...

I really think it was just an early model thing. Although, I've had a couple late G260's that have had it on the trans, rather than the driveline. Kinda weird. They're rather pointless.

It sucks, but it means our cars will be worth much, much more than this POS!

Considering what E30's have sold for recently, I don't think I'll have any issue getting much more than that for my white car when it's all finished!

Then there is this car that was for sale down here in PDX for $1200 or so last week or two ago...he fails to mention the car has a salvage title and the paint is totally fucked. lol

It was very close to my house. I almost went to go look at it, but figured "why waste my time and his?"

What we don't know, however, is if anyone is paying these prices or if they're just falling off the market.

I know what a lot of cars have sold for (not just the asking prices,) and they really are getting good money for them.

seriously....the e30 market is FUBAR.

I wish I knew 4 years ago what I know now...I would have bought every E30 $2000 and under and been rich as fuck now! lol
