E-30

nice little e-30 score there!

Someone once told me this during my german car phase:

"German cars are like strippers, you can't really expect to have a fun unless you start throwing money at it."

While im not one for gentleman's clubs, i understood what he meant within weeks of getting by B6 A4.

Now if only i could come across an E30 I, or IS, for that price!

Have fun!

Mike

I am very sorry, something happened with my account and must have unsubbed me from at least 10 threads, yours happened to be one of them. I was wondering why I haven't been seeing anything new come in, I am going to reread through everything to see where it left off. I appreciate you commenting on my thread, and didn't want to seem like a **** for not having commented on yours.

Thanks to 4gin for the photoshop!

I wish I had photoshop skills like that, I just do stuff in paint.net and gimp, usually turns out crappy because I don't have the patience for it lol. They did a very good job with it, looks pretty convincing at first glance!

And im finally gonna have keyless entry! cant wait.
Amazon.com: Viper 211HV 1-Way Keyless Entry System: Car Electronics

Love having it as well. I remember about a month ago I was about 2 miles from the 4runner in the woods on one of the airline trails. It started to pour. It was awful, it was a good 40-50 minute walk back to the 4runner, it was so nice being able to click that button and have the doors unlock so I could just get in and turn on the AC. I know, I was soaked, but it was hot as hell. Not sure I would have ever bought keyless entry if the previous owner didn't, but it sure is a great thing!

Went on a little adventure yesterday with my mom and my dog. went up buzzards lagoon into nisene marks.

The first three pictures are the kind of day I'd love to be out wheeling or even just walking about, just looking at the picture I can tell it's the day you can be so happy to be alive.

For anyone that is interested in the re-build of my E30, here is my build thread of it. SantaCruzE30's Build/Resurrection - R3VLimited Forums

You say on your BMW thread you are sick of 16mpg. I get 11 lol.


^Sorry about that, I was waiting for an opportunity to use that picture, as it was used on me. =)

That is quite the project! Wow! I want to get my hands on a Toyota MR2 86-89... hard to find up here in BC as they did rust... remember the Fiat X1/9..... fun toy cars!! In College I wanted a 318i but couldn't afford one... ended up with a VW rabbit which I totally rebuilt... I even pulled the old crappy VW carb out and put in a Datsun 2bbl. setup... I even milled the Aluminum adapter myself... its amazing what we do when we have no money!

So close!!It isnt getting enough fuel. checking the fuel filter and the fuel pump relay tomorrow.

That's what I thought, it's definitely got spark, so the only other issue is fuel!

 

[4Running Daily]

It's either the relay or a bad coil.

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

im going to go and check it out, hopefully i can get it running soon!!

What size engine does that thing have, by the way?
