Some of you might already know me as Blackrabbit2point5 on VW vortex. I've been fairly active in the VW scene around here for the past couple of years and my E30 has been out to a few VW meets while my rabbit was broken down or in the middle of the turbo install. I bought a 1986 BMW 325ES a few months ago as a backup car for my rabbit while while it was down for some pre turbo buildup, the turbo install, and I'm still using it as I'm still ironing out some issues. Was originally thinking of selling it off for more parts for my rabbit but I've come to love the beat up little bimmer so after I get the last few mods pertaining to the turbo upgrade on the rabbit out of the way (water meth, n2mb WOT box, ECS OE big brake upgrade) I'm gonna take the E30 down for a while and work on building it into a ridiculous auto-x car. At the moment thinking full cage and supercharged E36 M3 engine are just about the only things I've settled on for sure. Still figuring out suspension options and trying to figure out how much of the suspension on the car right now needs replaced. Getting to the point where I need to replace the brakes and tires as well so suggestions on rims, brakes,suspension, and rear end build up that would go well with this crazy little project will be greatly appreciated. So I'll leave you with some pics of what I've got going on.

The E30 sitting outside of Autozone while I went inside to get a club for it

yeah, BVA did my car, was a booth car for em at wasserzeigen the day after it got finished. As for the E30 theres a slight chance I might be trading it in for a 94 silverado so I can tow the bunny to BVA when it breaks down. I love my E30 but I need a good support vehicle for the bunny. Was all stoked to get started on the bimmer and then the turbo on the bunny seized after only 2500 miles so that got me thinking. Turning 25 in a week so once I get myself into a house in a year or so I'm gonna look into an e36 m3 if I trade my current bimmer. Almost as fun to drive as the bunny, more fun in the rain
