  • E30 Build Thread

    i used to be on this forum as a kid, i was about 15 or 16 when i got my first e30. since then ive owned a stanced galant that was totalled. i have a stanced b5 s4 and also a under constrution e90. i finally found a clean e30 that i wanted and picked it up. through all the cars and forums ive been on ive never done a proper build thread. this will be the first. from beginning to end.



    first picture ever taken, saw it at a dealership. couldnt let someone else have it. i wasnt even thinking of buying a car before i saw it.




    ive been installing headunits in my friends cars and my own for years but i decided i didnt want to deal with the cars 20 year old wiring and left it to a pro



    cant tell in the pic but this was the first time i washed it. see if it would look any different. it didnt, needs paint



    welcomed in to the orange tow hook mafia. need to repaint the grills and get new foglights





    uhh illestttttt

                    not gonna lie, I'm pretty jealous of your stable of cars and parts. They look good though, keep it up

                        installing a headunit in an e30 is just like any other car

                          not when theres no easy way (harness). and the speaker wires have a common ground (something ive never dealt with before.


                          compared to my buddy scotts e30 my front suspension is trash in my e30. u can move the steering wheel about an inch and the car doesnt track either way. it drives straight but thats the only good thing about it. so in about a week or so im doing new tie rods, LCA w/ bushings and such. cant wait for that new steering wheel feel on those fresh ground controls.

                          also ive decided. my first wheel choice was oz futuras. but shit im a college student with a car note. im just not in the position to have baller wheels on this car. so yes, ill be rockin reps. but u better believe it will look good. **** to burst anyones bubble but yeah. new pics of the e90 coming soon once its its lowered
