Mark 178 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) If you're reading this, I made it back to Christchurch with my new E30! Over 10 hours driving... all with no stereo! At one point I went mildly insane and started having conversations between myself and the car. It drives like a dream, didn't miss a beat and sounded pornographic snicking into second and flat footing it through the tunnels south of Kaikoura. Noticed a number of things that will need to be looked at, namely the non-existent air con, the noisy tappets, blown bulb behind the OBC and the pop rivet through the aerial to hold it in place! I can now see why E30's are the most prevalent car on Bimmersport, they're a spectacular car for their age! Didn't take many pics on the drive down, but here's a few. I'll start a new Project thread once I've given it a thorough detail.

greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 Looks very nice Mark. Nice buy! Should come up great after a detail. If it comes up anything like your e36 did after you gave that a detail then this will look stunning! Looking forward to your project thread ps. love the wheels!

JiB 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 That's awesome, I just realised it's a PFL without any of the PFL ugliness! Does it have any other tasty ACS bits apart from the kit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 Yeah, a previous owner colour-coded the chrome bumpers and the shadow-lined the window trim too. The bumpers need re-doing and I was given a spare so will have a crack at re-painting them at some point. No other ACS bits AFAIK, although the exhaust screams something fierce at high RPM so I'm guessing it's aftermarket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
