NickL's E30

[hfabricius]

Well I have a few more parts to get before I can drop the m50 in but I'm pretty short on money right now. I'll be selling my Jeep to get some more funds for the e30. After the engine is in I will start on suspension and that should move along pretty quick. I also have a set of 16x8 style 5s to put on after I get tires and have them filled and drilled.

Cool cool. M50 is coming after RS's on this for sure.

This is the one time you can say "they keep it in the family" and it's not weird! lol

Thanks man. Saw some pictures of your car from SoWo, looks really nice on the Futura's.

Called up airlift and they're sending me two new tophats. Gonna make some camber plates from them. Just a fixed non adjustable setup.

Also tossed on a Euro plate from my dad's collection. Still trying to decide if I wanna shadow line the trim or not as well. I let my friend borrow my civic because his is down so I have been driving the E30 every day and it feels good.

Gonna order some 10mm rear spacers, a guibo, and passenger side control arm aswell soon.

That's boner inducing. Super clean.

looks so good. What's a newspaper pull?

[absentee]

Love this build, and the car. I think its everyone dream on here to have a car that clean, get a nice set of wheels, bag it, and then call it a day. So well done, car looks great

Car looks brilliant, love the height. I see you rubbed through a bag though, thats always my concern with bags. it seems if you ride as low as you want to on them they can't deal to well :P this is why i am thinking stick with coilovers, but i would love bags tbh

Cubby- newspaper pull is where you jack car up, put a stock of newspapers in the wheel well, then lower the car onto them. It really gently pulls the guard out to clear stuff. Doesnt work on all cars and takes some time but heard it used a bit of S chassis cars.

Its really not a big problem if you check your clearances to moving parts. I didn't in the rear because I was anxious and figured the axle wouldn't get any closer.

Went to go to class today and my clutch pedal went straight to the floor. So looks like ill be replacing the slave here tonight in the parking lot.

Also thinking of trading the civic for an s13 tomorrow. Also have a deal for a MK3 golf. Just gotta think which one I want.

Wicked. The story and where the car is now perfect. Does your dad drive the car? How does he like it?

I wouldn't change a thing, it really looks perfect gives me a 1990s compton feel not sure why lol

[NickL]

Thanks man. Nah he doesn't drive it anymore but he does wanna take it to work sometime to see how it is with the air ride and all.

[MrGL2]
