Back in the e30 game

Hello all, it's quite a while since I've been here.

After some time being e30 free and a brief flirtation with the japanese offerings I realised how enjoyable the little bavarian bastards are. This realisation also happened to coincide with a very eligible 318iS becoming available, so i bought the rotten thing.
The resulting dash back across the Bell's Line was like stepping into a comfortable old pair of jeans and reminded me what I'd been missing the past couple of years, bring on the cracked dashes and rusty sunroofs...

Current Situation:
1990 model
153000ks
Eibach lowered springs
M3 offset bushes
23mm front 18mm rear swaybar
Stainless catback exhaust
Powerchip

Cheers!

Nice car Rhys, I've thought about picking another one up, especially when you have a bit of a look around...there's a few nice ones out there. I keep buying too many things for my rex at the moment, keep filling the garage up...haha

Did you get what you wanted for your 300 in the end?

I got what I wanted insofar as not owning it anymore, but I ended up selling it pretty cheaply, how's the rex going?

It's going pretty well, away getting some bits painted at the moment, but I have a few go fast bits sitting in the garage at home...just not entirely sure of which way to go ECU wise.

Are you still on Campus in the gong? You should look at bringing the E30 out to WSID, I'm pretty sure I'll be heading up on the 12th ! I want to check out the E30

Yeah.

I know him pretty well. He is anally retentive when it comes to looking after his cars, you got a bloody good one!
