raewyn22 149 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 Hey guys, joined a few months ago! However only just finally sat down and learnt how to drive this site! Currently drive a 318i 1990 Silver standard auto! Will be upgrading soon to something that I can work on and will hopefully be an awesome ride after modifying it a bit. Great plans for it, but one step at a time! I have a great passion for cars, and I see a lot of mint looking rides on this site! Will be looking to get into the mechanical side real soon, and would like to know if any one has any tips on this? Thanks, and will be looking forward to seeing the Bimmersport members at the future meets! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huff3r 347 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 Very nice. Got any plans for it? Rims, lower etc? Or just leave as is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raewyn22 149 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks, getting it lowered very soon, by HELLBM. Might get some rims, or might make it manual. Just have to make the time! Work in progress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Manual it!!! Soo worth it, they are awesome fun in manual! Especially lowered, with decent shocks, on a nice set of twistys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raewyn22 149 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 Haha yeah, always wanted a manual!! Have a month to think about it, but I'm thinking manual is the way to go! Auto can be a boring most of the time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you always wanted it then it's an easy choice right? Besides which, rims just make it look pretty, a manual box makes a real difference (Although everyone loves a good looking E30 ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raewyn22 149 Report post Posted February 20, 2011 Yeah, trouble is I have to start driving through rush hour soon, so making me rethink, mind you could be some fun with that! HELLBM is lowering it for me on H&R springs tomorrow, so will chuck some pictures up as we go! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HELLBM is lowering it for me on H&R springs tomorrow, so will chuck some pictures up as we go! Rush hour isn't too bad I find, the clutch on an E30 isnt too stiff really. Just takes some practice . Mind you, i do have PT 3 times a week to keep my clutch leg in shape haha. Also it's fun as to be in control and beat most autos off the line at the lights Definitely wanna see the pics. I needa get mine lowered sometime and Im wondering wether h&r might be a goer. Should make a showroom thread for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
