Another e30 for siq...


Recommended Posts

So i guess its time to fill you all in as to where i have been as of late... well it started with a subaru brat that was occupying my time... that didnt last long... All i really want is a nice DD while the 620 is getting heavily modified. Then out of noware my buddy offers to sell me this 89 325i that he has owned for the last 3 years that i have been drooling over. So of coarse i jumped right on it! Its a great runner and has been a joy to drive. It has a number of bugs that need to be sorted out, all of which i have been doing. The nice thing about it is that it doesnt hinder me from driving it. Mostly its putting stuff back together and finishing things he started.

 

so far... I replaced a window motor, tinkered with the locks, put the interior back together, replaced a carrier bearing, did some simple maintenance, finished modifying the e36 seats he has in the car, changed out the seat belts for black ones, installed a stereo, and cleaned it all up a bit.

 

I mostly just plan on getting this running solid and enjoying driving it. Its sole intent is to be a DD. I have some 1/4'' wheel spacers i might throw on there. still debating. mostly for looks and the spacers were free haha.

Pics!

Car is mostly stock, has a cone filter which im getting rid of and going back to a stock air box, custom exhaust, e36 interior bits here and there, and TSW wheels.

 

Enjoy! Let me know what you think!

yeah its been great to drive around as a DD. Im spending alot of time tinkering on it getting everything put back together and working. Its been fun. Hopefully I will be able to get the brat sold and out of the garage in the next couple of days. had a couple ppl call on it wanting to come look at it tomorrow. *crosses fingers* Then I can go back to working on the Datsun.

Well i installed a stereo, wired the amps, put a sub in, Installed rear seat belts, made adapters to go from e30 seats to e36. would like to find some sports soon but comforts will do for now i guess. did some all around cleaning of the interior. I still have speakers and some tweeters i want to install. trying to think of a clean way of upping the speaker size in the kick panels and rear shelf. Once all the stereo is in it will have 2 focal tweets, 2 5" focals in the kick panals, and 2 6 focals on the shelf, 1 1000 watt Alpine mono amp for the sub, 1 500 watt Alpine 4 channel amp to power the speakers, a 12" MTX sub, and a kenwood deck Pretty much just been driving it.
