I figured maybe I'd start a build thread. Dont expect alot of updates. Im not very good at updates.
Here is my current E30 History.....
I couldn't deal with not having a red E30,mostly because of my old m50 swapped car that i loved to death. Sold my 318is to lolcantturn for wicked cheap considering the money I had in it. and bought this 325is off of a kid named Adstock on bimmerforums. The car drove better then any other e30 I had drove before. And this is the lowest mileage one ive ever had, at 253k when i bought it lol.
Day i picked it up.
Blurry image of where it slept til I sold the 318
To get it road Worthy It needed a rear wheel bearing and a radiator. Also did timing belt and water pump. The exhaust fell apaprt at a retarded rate. like seriously within a month it went from just missing a tip to this....
Just replaced with Bosal catback. Needed to Pass inspection....
On dyno...failed emmisions twice. Went and got some of the guaranteed to pass stuff that you dump in the tank and passed with flying colors
Then Bilsteins and ST springs....
Then I went to H20....and ran out of gas on rt 50.
Then i got rear ended. :/
You cant tell but the quarter panel is fudged. I ended up getting $1900 from USAA, which were really scummy people to deal with. I then brought it to a guy we use at work for bodywork who said he could do it for the money they gave me .
And thats kind of where I am now. Doing shifter stuff this weekend along with my steering coupler. Then Its gonna sleep for the winter. Ive put 10,000 Miles on it since registering it in august with absolutely no problems. Was dailying it until i got rear ended.
Plans are-
-Get a better camera.
-Drop rear subframe over winter and do EVERYTHING back there.
-Get body work done
-Fit metal bumpers from an 88?
-Start some Auto Crossing in the spring time.
-Drive M20 into ground. Replace with M52
