[E30 parts]

It's been a long time since I posted on here but want to give the local community a chance before I start shipping. Car lacks drivetrain but I may have some old M42 remnants.

I have a decent collection of parts I'd like to try selling locally before shipping. I've listed some key pieces below but let me know if there are parts you're looking for. 

Corbeau GTS II seat pair and E30 seat brackets, used one season - $900

This is super late but still worth posting I thought. On a late season drive last November I came across ClassE30 parked on a side road and couldn't pass up the shot.

[Under hood adhesive removal]

Thanks for the ideas. Tried Wd-40 tonight on a small area and seems to be working better then anything else I tried. Might try some of the others tomorrow if I have time.

I didn't even think of WD! I'll try it out tonight. Thanks!

[Under hood adhesive removal]

Not very "technical" but does anyone have tips on removing the under hood adhesive without stripping the paint off as well? I've tried Goo-Gone, simple green, paint thinners... The foam was trash so I pulled it off and I'm not sure the current state is an improvement.

[Circuis town E30 checking in]

Congrats and welcome! Best of luck with the project.

[The Dirty Dolphin build thread]

This car is awesome. I saw it at Road America last year during the Hawk vintage races. It was the day after I bought my E30 project and only boosted my ambition to get moving. Great work!

[New member, E60 M5]

Beautiful car, Sir! 

[The completely vague e30 build thread]

Looks like the misalignment wrecked the damper as well. Im guessing they did this because the sheetmetal for the mount tore out

 

 

Yeah the shock was toast. Body was fine though oddly enough. None the less I added reinforcement plates when I did the suspension update.

[The completely vague e30 build thread]

Thanks everyone! Here is a fix from the previous owner that I had to reverse. He gets points for originality... it definitely explains the clunking I heard driving it home. 

[The completely vague e30 build thread]

Awesome. What color did you spray the car?

 

It's called Dyno Blue Pearl (Honda factory color). Trying to get some good pics because it really pops in the sun!

 

I did paint it myself (first time attempt in my garage, haha) so it has it's flaws if seen in person. I'm just happy it's one color!

 

I'm going to try and drive it some this next week (weather was perfect for Throttle Thurs this week! Wish I could have made it) . Only have about three miles on as I've been trying to get it somewhat "presentable".

[The completely vague e30 build thread]

Lookin good!

 

Thanks!

 

iX side skirts?

 

iS Side skirts.

[The completely vague e30 build thread]

So I've been off the forum for a bit but I thought I would hop on and give a quick update on the E30 status. Should finally be getting some miles on starting next week. 

 

I apologize that this really isn't a "build" but I hate saying I'm going to do things and then not getting it done. So I'll just show what happened 

 

Before

 

During

 

After

 

Noteable updates

Paint, Euro bumper Trim, Side skirts, IS lip, Shaved antenna, H&R springs and Bilstien shocks, updated rear shock mounting with reinforcments, Pop-out window conversion, wheel refresh. 

 

More to come, but probably at a slower pace...

[New F80 M3 (Oshkosh)]

Looks great! I look forward to seeing you cruising the streets of Oshkosh (dodging pot holes).

[Cars & Guitars Car Show - Oshkosh - Sept 12th]

I hope I can make this. Less then a mile from my house and in my work parking lot.

Cherry stock e30 on the UW campus.

[Awesome car videos!]

Make sure you wear protection when filming dirt donuts.

 

 

[Newish from Madison Area]

Welcome! The 5 looks great for that kinda mileage and that e30 looks immaculate as well! 

["Throttle Thursdays" in Oshkosh]

Definitely making it to a couple of these. 

[Another new guy]

Welcome! I would love to own an 02 but it sounds like you have a strong hold on the supply. Haha looking forward to a shot of the collection.

[Official Sighting Thread]

It was the day after I bought my first (junk) E30. Great looking car for sure.

[New guy in Madison]

Welcome! As is being said take your time and search like crazy. I made the mistake of jumping in on my first E30... one month later I was buying the "right" E30. haha. 

 

Good luck!

[Hi all.]

Welcome! I've been making it to the Brian Redman at RA the past few years but would love to get to more. 

 

I third Pics!

[Official Sighting Thread]

More of a past sighting but I just came across this pic tonight and noticed the wibimmer sticker. At the Brian Redman race at Road America last summer. Anyone know who it is?

[So, what are you listening to?]
