Real name: Dan McCool
Location: Delmont, PA (near Pgh.)
Occupation: Physical Therapist Assistant
Age: 42
I'm married with 4 kids, 2 boys and identical twin girls (hence the screen name). I've had my E30 for a year now and love it. I'll do my buying experience thread later. Whoever the PO was definitely appreciated the car because he did some nice mods.
I have a Brillantrot 318is with 99% perfect black interior. Just a couple of wear spots in the drivers seat. The interior needs a good cleaning however. One of these days I'm going to take it apart and do it right. The exterior has been re-sprayed and looks pretty good. I've got some rust on the passenger rocker panel/door sill and above the right rear tail light that will need fixed. There is an aftermarket door on the passenger side that I'm going to replace. I recently picked up a rust free southern door for $30 at the Charlotte, NC Pull-A-Part. You southern guys are lucky that way. The car also came with 16" M Contour replicas on the rear and weaves on front for some reason. All I've done pretty much since purchase is general maintenance and cosmetics.
New parts:
Roundels
Antenna mast
muffler
O2 sensor
Fuel filter
Coil packs, wires and plugs
Replace all vacuum lines
Cleaned intake system to throttle plates and ICV
New Hella H4's
Current mods:
K&N panel filter
BavAuto High Perf. coils
H&R sports I believe (they may be the race springs because it sits LOW-TBD)
Bilstein sports
M3 CAB's
Dynomax Super Turbo muffler
Some sort of unidentfied SSK
Pioneer sound system
Stock Basket Weaves w/ Kumho's
Blacked out kidneys
Future plans/mods:
steering rack of some sort (leaking badly)
I'm in process of getting JC chip
install door and get paint/bodywork done
paint weaves black & polish lips (still considering this)
Redline oil in diff. and gear box
some sort of rear camber kit
I'll post some pics when I figure out how to decrease the file size.
This site is awesome, I love it.
Happy motoring, Dan.
