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

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

    Carry on.

    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.

    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

    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!

    i finally got one thing done today, i got my valve cover sandblasted at my friends house. its gonna need a little bit of filling still and i have to decide for sure on a color, i was planning on white to match my wheels originally, but now im going to be getting the faces machined by vrwheels, so the white wouldnt go with anything. i may go with flat or wrinkle black, but i dont really like the idea of a 100% black engine.

    To keep this thread alive, I sold my awful focus wagon daily yesterday, and now I'm driving my sisters car for two weeks while her license is suspended. So this leaves me carless in two weeks, which is just the time when I'm gonna be meeting up with the owner of this:




    It's an 85 es with some rust and 207k miles on it. It has just the right amount of rust to be not as nice as the car I'm currently building. So that will be my new daily, getting it for $1600.

    The plan is to throw the bc coils on it once they come in and take it to sowo since my bay and paint won't be done on my other car, most likely on a set of my friends diamond racing wheels. This car will be my daily/ drift slut, so get excited for that

    Plans: (these take a backseat to the other build don't worry)

    -Weld the 3.73 open diff that's on it now
    -ecu chip from my old ecu
    -build some cheap as fuck coils after the other car is done
    -flares
    -dumb exhaust
    -wheels too wide
    -drift the piss out of it
    -fuck bitches

    That's all assuming everything works out and the guy is able to bring the car up from NC in two weeks to meet up and sell it.
