Title: 05kygoat
Post by: 05kygoat on February 08, 2010, 07:05:36 PM
Hey guys. My name is DJ, and I am from Lexington, KY. I am new to the whole E30 world. I just recently purchased a 1991 318i from one of my buddies, for the large sum of $200. lol I love this little car, but it is a little rough around the edges. Overall the body is straight, and I am slowly taking care of the maintenance stuff, so I can track the car this summer. It gets hard, because I also have a 2005 Pontiac GTO that get puts through it paces a quarter mile at a time. Oh well, I've been lurking on here for a bit, just reading up on things. Glad to meet you all.
Here is a pic with my old wheels on it, that I just sold.

Best pass is a 11.95@113. This was the backup pass after that run.

Welcome to M42club.
Nice GTO, the first year with hood scoops. I drove several of those when they were new when I worked at the dealership, some so new they had 1 mile on the odometer. Post some pics of the e30 and tell us a little more about it.

Well, the e30 is rough, that is why there are no pics of it yet. So far, I made my first purchase for it. I am waiting to receive caliper rebuilds kits for all four corners, complete outer tie rod assembly, and the inners also. When I get my taxes back, I am planning on an e36 steering rack, new shocks, lowering springs, and im searching for some basketweaves. Hopefully I can get some pics of the bimmer up soon though.

Welcome to M42club. Yeah, I'm a bit late, I know.
I'm in Lexington too... I'm just a kid and know very little, but you should give me a holler if you want. There aren't very many E30 M42 owners here.

Neohostus, were you at Parkette like maybe a week or so ago? I saw a clean looking red e30 there. If it was yours, I was definently diggin it. I wish mine was that straight.
