    My Build Thread

    My Transaction Feedback

    Comment


      For the first time in a year and a half I havnt driven my e30 for a week. I've been driving an s10 and a Camry, they were both very nice cars comfortable cars I really enjoyed both of them.

      I started up the e30 today, it took a minute, but it fired, followed by rattles, knocks, and a quite large plume of smoke, shifters so sloppy I put it in third and killed it. I made my way down to the freeway getting jostled around by every bump I hit, has trouble pulling into the driveway to get coffee, I couldn't hear myself think, my whole front end shakes now, it was horrible.

      I loved every minute of it, I've decided not to get rid of it....

      It should go without saying I'm no longer looking for a new shell.

          Not yet, I need to get ball joints and tie rods. I'm probably just gonna say fuck it and order another Lemforder kit and replace everything again.

          I havnt even looked at the car I parked it in the carport planning on stripping it and walking away from it. Brand new wheels are still in the box.

            Had a buddy with something similar happen.. Brand new control arm with ~1000 miles bent beyond repair.. Sucks but could always be way worse.. Probably shouldnt be driving it though ;)

                  Going to keep it, probably make it more of a kidney killer.

                          On e30s, its 1 of the 8 relays in fusebox. Do you have an e34 bentley? If not jje30 has 1, and its at joshs. You could come look at it.


                          also try bimmerforums. Lots of e34 guys there. Thats where I ask my e36 / e34 questions

                            Im contemplating doing the very same thing.
                            A bushing kit is in my future too.

                            Currently without an e30. Will probably die soon.
