I got a fresh matching all season mounted/balanced on a full sized spare today for the white '89 iX. I also fitted a factory jack/mount and OE battery cover. It's the little things. IMG_2675 by Bobbie Morrone, on Flickr IMG_2677 by Bobbie Morrone, on Flickr IMG_2678 by Bobbie Morrone, on Flickr |

Heidi, the '88 back east sold today! Bittersweet, but still a huge relief to find a buyer who was stoked about the car. In other news, I've been watching this '14 STI hatch for a little while. It's only an hour away and I've been wanting to upgrade my daily for a long time. Priced reasonably for what it is, too. One owner, no accident car. If the rest of the E30s I have up for sale sold, I think I'd pull the trigger. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...Type=spotlight Last edited by blue91lx; 11-21-2018 at 07:21 PM. |

Damn, that silver one was looking very nice! Glad you're able to sell these so quickly

Shipman doesn't know it yet, but he's going to buy the Delphin Gray sedan. I also bought a turbo manifold impulsively on Black Friday for Linda, we'll see if that goes anywhere once I finish thinning the herd. My tentative plan: 400whp on 93 -GTX3076R (would go BW EFR 7163 but no one makes a twin scroll mani for less than $2K) -CX Racing E30 Intercooler Setup (ebay + bonus points for testing and fitment) -VS Racing Tial Knockoff WG/BOV (44mm/50mm) -MS2 PNP w/ wasted spark, will probably use OEM ls truck coils -ARP studs (should've done them when I did the motor) -Spec Stage 3 Clutch -60lb injectors -Some affordable 255-340 fuel pump |

The M20s make good power. You can make 4-450whp pretty easily/reliably. Just need to fork out fat cash for axles and a twin disc if you plan on getting traction, but I don't, so I should be good. $16 off for you man, cyborg Tuesday special |

This thing is getting a whole lot nicer! I'm taking the time to complete various tasks, both small and large, to help prep the car the best I can for whoever picks her up.
Over the past few days I've done: -Inner/Outer Tie Rods -M3 Offset CABs -H&R iX Springs -Bilstein HD Front Struts -Cleaned/repacked front upper strut mounts (rubber in great shape) -KYB Rear shocks -HD Rear Strut Mounts -Sent front axles out to be gone through -Front/Rear Swaybar Endlinks -Proper sedan rear carpet -Nice drivers side mirror glass -Redline 75w90 Front Diff Fluid Change -Redline MTL Trans Fluid Change -Redline ATF TCase Fluid Change -Redline 75w90 Rear Diff Fluid Change -LiquiMoly 10w40/Mann Filter Oil Change -Mounted/balanced the new tires on the refinished wheels -Mann Air Filter I also purchased everything to convert the car to r134. Once I get some free time I'll get that finished up as well. The strut housings are in awesome shape, which is great to see. The paint was peeling on the drivers side housing so I sanded/primed/painted the upper portion of the housing to prevent future rust.

Washed this thing. It's such a hoot to drive with 3.2L of modern power, bolted in with factory BMW parts.

That has to be one of the cleanest BMWs of that generation around. Must be a blast with the new engine and suspension work.

It's funny, this car is going to bring less money in repainted, rust free, engine swapped configuration than my silver coupe 325iX did that needed paint and wasn't in as nice condition overall. If someone brought this back to the East Coast, I bet you could fetch $12K pretty easily for it. |

Thank you all! She's a beaut, and drives like one, too.
Meanwhile Linda and Sam are over here waiting for these other cars to go bye bye so they can hop back in the spotlight. My official plan for after the two sedans sell: Wait out winter, sell the FXT and buy a low (30-40k) mile 13-14 STI hatch. Be done with fixing old cars once and for all, and finally get a clean, low milage daily to maintain and enjoy for many years to come.
