Here's my entry into the e30 world.

Here's the picture from the add in the Roundel.

Could an engine compartment get any worse.

When I went to look at it in VA. You can see my Bonanza way in the background.

After I got it home.

Can't leave well enough alone.

Home next to the "other cars"

Nice bit of work there. Welcome to the 90's!Looks like it already has the Euro smileys...and white is always a good color for the e30.

Yes, an engine compartment CAN get far worse...

Thanks for the complements. I put in the euro smileys about a week or two after I got it.

Here are some from today.

Looks like you found yourself a very nice example, congrats and welcome to the club.

What's in store? What can we expect?

What can we expect?

Billy Sports and H&R's!

I need a new wheel bearing now.... And a new muffler. The crap ass muffler shop one that the PO put on is cramping my style.

Looks good man. The more I see lowered examples, the more I want to change my plans and lower mine. How is the ride? BTW how many miles do you have?

I want your garage...

Almost 160K Car feels real tight. Almost too much but I'm not unhappy. Know what I mean? Sorta feels like an e30 M3. (In my mind from what I remember) In other words, non car people will think it's stiff but not way too bad. I like it a lot and I don't see myself putting in the stock springs and Billy HD's in the near future.

What type of H&R springs are you running?

2002Harv · « **Reply #9 on:** December 10, 2009, 03:52:23 PM »

H&R Sports for the 318is. Don't remember the part number but they are gray.
