Hi all, I'm Spencer obviously I'm new to the forum. Currently I drive a 91' Miata but I'm trying to lay my hands on an e30 to play with. I've owned a e39 528 in the past (which my mom killed...) and was pretty happy with it overall, but wished for something quicker all the time. Recently I drove my friends e30 M3 and loved the it.
I've done quite a bit of work with British sports cars, mainly Lotus cars. I recently completed a replica of a Lotus 11 from scratch (not from a kit!!!) using a 69' Elan as a donor, though it only donated the engine and back bone chassis member. I'm currently learning megasquirt EFI so starting to play with computers and I'm an engineering major. Given all this I think I have a good basis for what I want to do.
Basically I want to get an e30 shell and put an m50 or m60 in it depending on what my budget looks liking the near future, or turboing a e30 325ix. For the short term I'm just trying to learn what I can from here. Look forward to talking to you all.
