well, i have recently traded my civic for this bmw e30. Its a little ruff and needed alot of love which some ive already given, but im considering racing it. Im considering getting into some road racing/autox possibly. Ive never done it before so im hoping maybe i can get this pig out to dunnville and try to have some fun. The car currently has a brand new bilstien bts suspension kit on it. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0010.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0010.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0011.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0011.jpg) god i hate bottle cap rims. they make the car look even shittier then bmw ever intended.lol but seriously, the e30 is growing on me.🙂 oh and some sticky,sticky M/T dot drag radials. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0008-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0008-1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0009.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0009.jpg) tires are 255/50/16 and a very tight squeeze on the inside fender. but if it turns out too close nothing that a small wheel spacer cant fix. and the ass shot. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0001-3.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/PHOT0001-3.jpg) Now i just need to get my car runnin again.:rolljerk: ---

If he wanted to get into racing there would be no point in throwing $ and mods at the car only to find out that you can’t use them later on. ---

At first I thought that you traded your E36 for the E30, then my brain started working and saw you said you traded your Civic, which is a good move IMHO. I saw a nice E30 M3 on the way back from Pittsburgh this Sunday. ---
