Nice find! You've got the rare 'no sunroof' option like mine :).
-
Congrats once again.
How many miles on the odo?
-
nice find man, now you just need some foglight filler pieces.
-
You got a great deal on that...I missed it by one day.. :(
Oh well there will be others...
-
The odo is broken along w/ all the other gauges except the tach. but carfax reports 166k less than a year ago.
Maybe you all can help me, Ive searched through the foums and tried finding websites that sell suspension for the car. You all talk about suspension parts and prices, and i cant find any dealer who sells it for the e30, just the e36.
Any help would be great.
Thanks for the comments.

looks good man, welcome to the "slicktop" club

Awgy, take a look at my 'member profiles' post. It's just one below yours right now :). Me and m42boy were talking about some suspension parts that we're looking into and most likely buying.
bmw2002.com is a site for some suspension stuff. bmaparts.com, flyingbrickperformance.com and there's lots more out there!

Nice car man! What kind of steering wheel is that?

It looks like the regular airbag wheel to me. If you like it, I can sell you mine. I also have an mtech I that I'll be posting in the F/S section once I take some pics.
-
:o Ahh okay, never saw the airbag version of the e30 before, looks a bit like a mercedes wheel...i think ill stick with my mtech steering

This Exhaust is no longer on the car. I had to put the old system on from another car. The exhaust tubing was sh!t and cracked from cat to muffler along the top. I would have taken it back to the muffler shop but they are located in Denver CO. The cat and muffler was thrown away from a room mate. A mis understanding on that one.

http://www.turnermotorsport.com also sells parts for the E30. Nice car. Keep us updated.

And over Labor Day weekend, Pick n Pull in Fairfeild had half off day. So I got some goodies. Grabbed a 3.73 medium case lsd, Bilstein struts and shocks, 15x6 rims with a 24mm offset. All I was looking for was a lsd for my turbo set up. The total was 80 bucks.

I also bought new subframe and trailing arm poly bushings for when I did the diff swap.

New exhuast is on its way. Just orderd a 2.5" magnaflow cat and magnaflow turbo muffler. Hopefully installed on next weekend.

Did you do the tint yourself? Me likey. If you did what did you use? And I see you went with the black spolier. I did too. I don't think the painted ones say "sport" like the black ones do. The painted ones are just so refined. No offense to all of you refined types :p
Metamerism. The phenomina where two colors match under one light soucre, but don't match under another. I have that same problem on my front right fender :(
-
I had the tint done at a shop. Total was 180 or something like that.
The back half of the car likes to turn pink faster than the front half. I seriously have to keep on it weekly. One day maybe a paint job.
-
I hate to pick at you, but I just noticed that dent on the right side. You haven't tried pulling the rear side panel out and popping that back out from the inside? Roll up a sock and stuff it an another, then put that over a rubber mallet and give it a couple lite whacks. I bet you can get most if not all of that out.
-
I got it out once before but right there is a popular leaning spot for my friends. Even though they know I now dont want them to.
-
How do you like the 3.73 Awgy? Still need a new diff for my turbo and am debating 3.73 or even taller?
-
The 3.73 is sweet. Perfect for highways. At 57 mph Im at 2500 rpm in 5th gear. I wouldn't go taller gears unless you plan on running more hp.

Funny you should say that... just upped the boost to 11psi today and tuned it. Alot of fun :D I'm at the limit of my injectors now though... so no more than 11psi unless I decide to upgrade headgasket, injectors, and studs.
I doubt I'll do more than 11psi though... I am pretty happy with the way it feels and look forward to getting it on a dyno to see what a real tuner can actually squeeze out of it.

Self bump
Just because I felt like it.:D
