I knew letting you drive my car would work ;)

Sell the wagon and upgrade

Car is sold gents...well...basically

[LuckyHenriksen]

Thanks for allowing us to have my amp rack installed at your shop ill owe you a beer next meet

No worries

seriously considering taking a loss on the wagon and buying that sedan.... We should go check it out soon and get some nice pics for a cl ad. I can sell the goodies on the side for some extra cash :D I wanna feel the difference in handling sedan vs coupe.

What are the handling differences between the 2 door vs. 4 door? It is the same chassis

I figured as much haha http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/3300672572.html
I'm thinking about this one. I like sedans and clean spoiler less trunks on e30s and given its a dealer I can kinda go in with a safe bet that if its a lemon I can have them pay for repairs.

Guessing not much I cant say for sure though I only drove one sedan which is in spideys possession now and it was on IE3s and ran pretty tight. But I remember seeing something about body warp/sagging at the b pillars but I'm not sure as to how much that would affect the handling.

body warp/sagging at the b pillars

I dunno about that.. where you getting your info from lol

[Wschnitz]

Isnt the sedan the same wheelbase as a coupe? Dont see why it would sag, it has support.

[DrJosh]

Don't the pro3 guys swear that the 4 door chassis is stiffer ?

[ClausE30]

I read somewhere that when you weld the rear doors it does become stiffer, unsure about before any welding takes place

[DrJosh]

Aah that might be it.

[1craze30]

Regardless, its an e30. They handle tight as a virgin on prom night.

So sad I don't have an e30 anymore. Being at the meet this past thursday, I really want to sell and get back into one. The bad part is that e30's are more desirable then my lowly e24...

Mommy's.

In other news, just got home from Seattle. Got a new (to me) Canon 40D in trade for most of the interior out of the parts car. Woot.

That carpet come out nice enough for him?

The 4 dr e30 is a tad heavier. All else is same, except for doors of course.

Actually, that thing turned out fucking nice for what it was. I was quite surprised, to say the least!
