    Default My New E30, You All Know It....

    I picked this up Saturday, a lot of you may recognize it, all the work was done by the previous previous owner mainly, I have lots of plans for it though.

    Well probably but not exactly as you talk about him, he's quite a good drifter.

    I don't think so, I think he bought it stock, put the wheels on it now and all that, and it's pretty much been the same.

    It's pretty stupid trying to show off like that. If he were that good of a drifter you'd think he'd know the time and place for that shit. But unfortunately there will always be dumbasses trying to show off in the car scene. anyways...

    Simon I think if you can fix this one up a bit, it may end up being a pretty nice car.

    Looks pretty good aside from the god-awful front spoiler thing.. I don't even want to know what that came off of but it sure doesn't belong zip tied (just a guess) onto your e30. Suspension specs?

    Yeah I heard about him drifting at sonic.. that's disappointing I would think he knows better. I don't really like the front bumper either.
    It has cut springs btw^

    However, I think simon will make a cool trackrat out of it, so I can't wait to see how it ends up.

    Naa.

    Miles (510 guy) had this car and traded it for the 510. Simon sold his CRX and bought it from the guy who had miles car (original 510 owner)

    Depending what I run if I run SE30 I will swap in a IS motor, if I run something else an M50 or something. I have a seat, got a harness, and am ordering a cage from BD.

    Is the seat and harness still good? I was thinking it was out of date.

    You should talk to Matt Reppert about suspension

    lol, well if it's not even fully paid off I don't think I have the right to sell it.

    Plus, what do you need to carry on it?
