E30 Vert

Recommended Posts

So I've had this for almost 2 years now so thought it was time to throw up some photos. This is how it was when I first got it

Had to ditch those wheels first up so ran some bottle caps before picking up so BBS Rs 039 and 040 off a 4 stud skyline so had them redrilled and then plasticdipped them for some fun and dropped it on some super lows. Then headed up to megameet 16 with a couple of mates

Not much happened in the first half of the year except ditching the horribly loud muffler and fitting something more sane. Picked up a tech 2 kit and aplina boot spoiler for it so painted and fitted those in time for megameet this year.

Next step is coilovers as I managed to blow a shock on the trip to megameet and find a solution to fitting some tech 2 sides. I have a set for a couple but the lower sill cover is very different on the verts. And hopefully widen the RS' but also have a baby on the way next so will see how that all goes

To be fair to the previous owner he spent some money on it for sure but it's not to everyone's tastes ?

Over two years since I last updated this, wow... Yellowspeed coilovers have been fitted, I did buy some brand new genuine lower sill covers. Just need to get them painted and fitted. I've started a manual conversion on it just need to put the gearbox back in and bolt the driveshaft up. Fixed rocker cover gasket leak and painted the cover while it was off.

And during lockdown, had enough time to get these all finished!

Happy how these came out, just need some tyre valves and we are are away. Final specs are 16x9 et0 and 16x9.5 et6. Bit more aggressive than i intended but should still look alright

No it's still kicking. I left at the start of the year to pursue something else, unfortunately that hasn't worked out due to the current situation so currently jobless. Thankfully the Mrs is still bringing home a fulltime wage but won't be for too much longer as she goes on maternity leave at the end of June

Got a new job and just got through the first month. Spent some well needed money on some maintenance. New cambelt and water pump, went to start it and it wouldn't start...great...rechecked everything and seemed ok. Borrowed a crank angle sensor off a mate and started first time. Must have damaged it when disconnected it. The annoying slight miss at idle has now gone which is great.

Picked up a remus muffler of Facebook for cheap, it's off an e36 323 I think, which should tidy up the rear nicely. Hopefully won't need too much modification to fit, the e30 has already been converted to a single pipe back from the middle cat. Looks like it'll clean up ok

Sadly the next thing will be to sort some more rust. The battery leaked while it was parked up and the battery tray and firewall has rust in it.

Hopefully we can get pics of our verts together at the next mega meet brother
