Sick Burn!! J/K nothing beats a old school corolla! Check out my buddies with his Levian front end, its 65lbs lighter than the stock front end. 20valve little 4 banger swapped into this bad boy, its one hell of a little rice burner... oh ya this guy works for BMW.. Sad he doesnt drive an E30 but a few of his co-workers drive E30 325is



here is my old corolla

1982 toyota corolla SR-5 griffith limited edition convertible
26,000 miles
5 speed
one of 200 made

the kid i got mine from wanted like 5 grand to start. He drove it until it started to clunk and the price came down quickly. i offered him $2500 and he seemed shady so i didnt take it, in the end he wanted $2000 for it and it was broken down on the side of the road. It cost me $200 for a used tranny, $250 for new clutch kit, $358 for a "new" driveshaft

Look up around Atlanta, supposedly there are quite a few up there.

Expecting a decent 318IS for $2000 or less is not likely going to happen. Even getting a decent one for book price is extremely difficult.

The miles are nice and low but it obviously wasnt maintained correctly. Any car for ~$2000 will need some new parts

Truthfully, before 89 the 325 only had like 132 horses, and when your talking only 4 horses and probably close to an extra 150 pounds for 2 extra cylinders, that's quite a bit. I'm turning probably close to 140 bhp now, with my exhaust and conical filter. I think if you are strictly going from the 85 and 86 stand point, you will see a great difference. I've thought (for about a second) to go to a 91 325is, but I'm getting 31 mpg and still having fun driving it (when I get about 5 miles from my house the road turns into silly string, it's great).
