Top Secret

Alright, cool your jets. I appreciate most forms of car modification, and oni camber has it's own little clique so it's nearly a game of one-upmanship with who has the most camber. Sure, it looks stupid, but I can assure you these people don't take it near as seriously as you would perceive they would. You need a sense of humour. I like it for the sheer case of ".. what the fuuuck?". Chill

I'd be veryyyy skeptical of any VW having more camber than those ones you and the OP linked.

Definite piece of NZ import history. It's a shame to see it go like that. I miss High Octane..

^^ This Euro-Rs are an extremely competent package, and cheap to run. Just make sure it hasn't got a crunch going into reverse.

This time of the year sucks for selling cars. Hold on to your price, someone will come along

How much do you want for em?

Indeed. E30s don't really give you the option of fixing something or not, you need, so you learn how to.

I uploaded an old Group A touring car vid a while ago where this very car was in the race. d*ck Johnson (from memory) decided to stick with the 635i though. It was great to see this car hound the bigger cars, it was like a little fly dancing around. About the only time when buying an E30 makes financial sense

Ha! That's pretty neat

Depends what you're into really. Personally I'd get a DC2 Type R for that sort of money. Ridiculously cheap to run, and obviously they love a thrashing. Damn, should've kept my Hondas instead of creating headaches for myself by buying an E30

Looks like it! Lets hope (for our sake) that it was completely rooted

We need videos!!

Flip. Is anyone driving up from Chch? Even just to Wellington area so I may be able to arrange shipping with Dutchy. I need that carpet!

Ok, as for that burnt bronze/brown colour on those E30s. I remember hearing that they used to have to do a custom mix to get that colour, which was all the rage over in Europe. However, now the 1 series has that brown colour as standard, making the job that much easier.

Very impressed Pedro. Usually I'm not a fan of silver cars, but I'll make an exception for yours. Like the others said, good to see it isn't a garage queen.

Well you had to have had an inkling when the price of the kits were so cheap, no? And made out of FRP to boot. There are all sorts of horror stories about people having to spend hundreds at a panel beater to get their fibreglass kits to fit. Hopefully when my Alpina front arrives it won't require too much mending.

I heard that you need to have it certed if you use any non-factory parts, ie. modified crossmember. E30s have no real telltale signs that they've been converted, unlike some other cars with auto gauge clusters etc.

Oh nice, I didn't know they were that rare? Are the barrel and the lip welded together?

Loved that read. Has the movie been finished yet? I went on their blog and the lsat update was in 2009. We've all done our record speed runs, I just wonder when the lock hammer will come down . My personal record was low 40 minutes from barkes corner in TGA to Hillcrest roundabout in Hamilton in my Integras. Still averaged under 10L/100km somehow. NB: All done at 1am, so no one else was harmed. I don't think I'm dumb enough to do that these days. Time and a place

I wonder how much of that kit is made up of bog.. Hmm. It's been there forever and a day, but the new rims have made it look a LOT better. Yes, 1UZ that thing and cage it.

Very tidy car, I like

@Nathan, I just cleaned the ICV, and the throttle body. Didn't know how to clean the TPS, so I just disconnected it to see if it made a difference. The car seems to have less hesitation now, but we will see how it works on cold start up.

Replaced fuel pump (again), fuel filter, oil filter, oil, spark plugs, and cleaned the AFM. It still has a really bad idle when cold though.. Hmm..

So, how do people mount these to the front of E30s? Do you have a plate mounting kit?

Lol, yeah I was taken aback when I read that. Nice buy
