AbeSonic Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I don't suppose any of you are into BMW's? I actually belong to www.r3vlimited.com but after much pestering from the Sex Robot better known as Philcas1987 I have joined this forum as well to share my triumphs, fails and hilariousness. My personal page http://r3vlimited.com/board/member.php?u=28488 I first bought my 1st and only E30 (the chassis code for 80's 3 series) in October 2010 bone stock. Since then with the help of my friends and forum I have brought back this machine back to working order. Stuff I've done thus far to my car... Magnaflow muffler New tires New instrument cluster new passenger mirror new passenger window motor airbox delete/ maf adapter with K&N cone filter New radiator hoses New blower motor/resistor Bavarian Autosport lowering springs Rear Blisteins New rear shock tower mounts And that all I can think of for now lol I'll try and post pics as soon as I figure out this website...lol -Abe :) Quote Link to comment
Diesel33g Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm actually a big fan of BMW's (none of this new crap) and the E30 happens to be one of the ones I like! Can't wait for pictures. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Arhg! I hate how you guys outsource your image hosting... I hate forums that have internal photos...makes it hard to see photos when you are not part of the forum. I love E30's! You next upgrade...get rid of the diving board! Quote Link to comment

The Dat-side Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I love everything up to except e36 and newer. My buddy is selling his E28 and E30 but keeping his E21, the diving boards look better on the older ones but i like a tucked or plastic bumper '30. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have coilovers And Wheels I will sell you pm me for pic's . It still looks the same as it did when we went to golden gardens. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I too, really like the E30's. Currently have a 94 E34 touring. Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Before I got my first Datsun I had a 1985 323i euro I built from a shell. I ran a 92 motor with a powerdyne supercharger on it,thing ran like a monster. I still like the E30's but here in California smogging a car is a nightmare,so I had to part with it. Nice car! I'll try to find a pic of it. Quote Link to comment
AbeSonic Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Nice! Am I glad there is E30 luv here too. lol Well since golden gardens not much has changed to the exterior of the car. I have gotten rid of my sealed beam headlights and got myself a pair of Projector beams. I have Euro smileys that are going in once I piece them all together + HID kit. I spend half of my time painting this and that and the rest just trying to get everything back to working order. lol Quote Link to comment
mikec Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hey hombre, nice eta! Must ditch that soup can exhaust tip and bottle caps though. Besides that, I like that you're building bottom-up. Not to thread-jack, but I'll share one recent pic of my e30: Quote Link to comment

Z Speed Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Two brands I've always owned; Datsuns and BMWs. Love what you're doing to E30. I'd def. source some Euro bumpers, which I'm sure is on your list.... :P Love E30's, but I'm partial to my E46M. I"ve owned many many BMW's through the years, but this one's stuck with me the last 9 years..... Quote Link to comment
greybeard Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 E30 = newer, better, faster 510 :cool: Quote Link to comment

I am in desperate need of a paint job though... Quote Link to comment

Besides that, I like that you're building bottom-up. Not to thread-jack, but I'll share one recent pic of my e30: Well when I first got the car it had no exhaust. It was a strait pipe from the cat to end. Plus it wasn't even hanging. The damn thing scraped.... x.x My Foldgers brand coffee exhaust was actually and up-grade lol Basket weaves are standing by waiting for summer and new tires. Nice car though bro! You on R3v?

You on R3v? i just bought a delphin e30 two weeks ago (hence my time off the forum), and i forgot about how some people treat their cars. seriously, i don't know what some people had in their minds. oh well, that's part of having a project i guess! and yes, i'm on r3v. username mkcman17 keep up the progress!
