Information for the E30 model is all over the place. Which is great, but there is one problem...
It really is ALL. OVER. THE. PLACE. From E30tech to S14, M42 Club, R3vlimited, Bimmerforms etc.

So I'm beginning my mission to compile all of the possible information into one simple to use site. The eThirty Online Database

It's going to be mostly search based (similar to google) and will try to match your search in real time and hopefully bring you to your destination
In the future I will be devoting all my attention to the project and plan on making the ultimate e30 super site.

Still debating on purchasing a domain name because I don't have one in mind - hah!

Should I change the current theme to something more styled?

I liked it at first, but now it looks like a domain squatting page to me.

I'm not well versed on what domain squatting is (just looked it up and think I understand now), but if you're asking which looks better...I like the original theme.

Thanks for the input. Back to the drawing board.

fyi this (http://www.pies.com/) is what I meant by a "squatted domain" look.

I just added an E30 craigslist search page. (http://ethirty.site90.net/craigslist.php)
Just enter a valid city name supported by craigslist and it will pull all possible results for E30s listed for sale.
