My new DD with a twist!
 
So the lift is on hold as there was something else that I could not say no to. I've been tired of driving round a FWD four door sedan because of my kids, and now I don't have to! Woot! I'll let the pics do the talking, and yes they are crappy pics with poor sun angle, but it was freezing out this morning so I ran out take just a few quick shots. Last pic has the extra fun!

And the twist for extra FUN and sleeper action.

I think I'm in love.

Saw a clean clean E30 on campus yesterday and decided I'd have to have one one day.

Nice family hauler.

That motor in this 2-dr shell and I'd be cool for once:

I saw this the other day and was seriously about to go find the guy and ask him to trade for my miata on the spot.

Yeah, took forever to find a clean car, but this one is originally from FL and only made it's way up to VA last year. It was the perfect combo of 4 doors, clean shell, slicktop (most had sunroofs), and the 318i from 1991 which was much lighter (2-300lbs) than the earlier models. No AC....yet. I have the bracket and compressor, just need to get lines fabbed up. Funny thing, with most engine swapped cars, most peeps don't take the time to redo the AC. AC and a better set of wheels, then stuff to make it more....comfy.

4 door and 2 door are pretty much the same exact size and weight so not a big diff. :P

Cool car!!

E30 also landed on my radar due to this customer's car we tuned:

http://www.diyautotune.com/diypnp/ap...vs-na-dyno.jpg

That's just stock E30 M20B25 + T3 turbo @ 15 psi. The dotted lines are comparison from the car's N/A tuning session a few months prior.

Ha, I actually just sold my Miata to look for an E30. Nice find!

thasac 01-29-2011 05:59 PM

Do like. I have a severe soft spot for those E30's.

Damn I didn't see this thread, or at least I didn't remember it back in Dec. Nice find Tom!

Braineack 04-25-2011 02:54 PM

didnt like the blue interior?!

hustler 04-25-2011 02:59 PM

Jesus fuck that is awesome. That's exactly what I want to daily. Looks boring, no one will steal it, badass motor, nice interior. How hard is that swap?

hustler 04-25-2011 03:05 PM

Blur out that license plate, dog.
