I have no idea what I'm doing...

Dude this is tight! The amount of work you're throwing at the engine bay, its really paying off. Looks damn good. Also that 5in lip… can't wait to see how you make that work, even with -9. Subscribed for sure keep up the excellent work!

[MWyeS]

Where did you source the new lips from?

I love this build even if you dont know what you're doing.

[Madvillain]

this E30 is fucking retarded! Love it.

Of the shitloads of E30's we have here in Iceland we need at least one like yours!

got them from vr wheels, and thanks man!

got in touch with a guy about an hour from me who has an e30 that needs a little love but hes only asking $1200. if all goes well im gonna hopefully bring it home for less than that this weekend and get it running and driving. then drift the shit out of it

[agustingig]

holy fucking shit! love everything about this! been my favorite e30 for a while now!

kinda sparked up my old love for e30s! shouldve never sold mine! Keep the updates coming!

[fitted_fit]

Sorry guys, ive been slacking big time on updates, though theres not a whole lot new with the car, i do have new updates in general.

I got extremely tired of the focus daily i had. it was awful, slow, automatic, rusty, ugly...

anyways. i have my sisters car to drive for two weeks, so on tuesday I picked up my second e30 for $800






My friend brought her cat:



Plans are: get it to stay running, it starts but shuts off immediately. so im gonna drain all the gas thats in it and replace the fuel filter, as well as the one leaking brake line. once its driveable ill be getting better wheels and building cheap coils, all that will be after the red car is done though.

Heres cool stuff that came with it
-bavarian autosport (i believe) rear springs
-rear bilsteins
-front h&r springs
-houndstooth interior
-320i head
-mtech 1 sideskirts in perfect condition
-ac schnitzer spoiler
-gay ass e46 m3 replica front and rear bumper

plus a lot more i havent even gone through everything yet. I got it for a steal imo considering everything it came with


And related to the red car, I have something exciting



after over a month, my coilovers finally arrived! 14k springs all around and theyre extreme lows. they should be stiff enough for the fitment i want, but if not ill run something like 20k rears.

[aLaFleur]

Sounds like that's going to be a fun little daily.

I have extreme lows on the frs and I love them.

Carry on.

[244Brick]

dang cdz them rimz do!

[DaguerrotypeI]

Stellar price considering all the parts! Those coils my goodness can't wait to see them mounted.

I have the real version of your front wheels. Never thought I would ever see more wheels like them on s/w.

When are you going to remove those mad tyte JDM stickers?

It's been a while, not a huge update but i did get things done on both cars. I'm actually motivated now, i cant wait to get this thing out and on the street, so im doing what i can since the weather's finally staying nice for the most part.

been driving this ugly pos:



I threw the BC's on the rear of the bronzit for now, i was gonna put the fronts on too but i dont want to weld them onto this car then have to swap everything. ill be cutting the h&r's and finding shorter rear springs for it eventually

I also test fitted my rears to get an actual idea of what the poke will be, keep in mind this car doesnt have as much camber as the red car will, and i also might be drilling out my hubs to 5x100 so i wont need the 20mm adapters.





this looks to be about -6 degrees and the red car should have around -8, plus the quarters on the bronzit arent pulled or even rolled. so basically they should fit 10x better on the red car

Back to the main build:





^the green area of filler hasn't been sanded at all





engine is close to being done, im stupid and i dropped one of the injectors and broke the plastic piece off the tip so ive either gotta get one injector or possibly just the plastic tip if thats available anywhere. other than that just a couple things to paint and put it all back together.
