Just bought this this morning so figured Id get the thread going now as I'm excited! ;D Paulmi16 has still got it at the moment as he drove it back from leeds for me and I was running late for work, so ive only got original ad pics until I get the car tomorrow. Its a bit of a minter, 43000-ish miles from new, recently refurbed bbs alloys, spare set of original bottle top alloys, original radio included, spare interior included etc. I intend to drop it when I can afford some decent coilovers and then run it as is probably until I get bored of the wheels and look for something else.

As a slight update, I failed at cleaning it and getting new photos today but I did get the tracking done and the wheels balanced, plus got a new battery put in the alarm fob so have a working alarm now aswell (which I was unaware it had when I bought the car

Very nice base. I'd forget coilovers for an E30 & go for a decent spring & damper set. Coilovers are very expensive for these.

Nice one Hitch, look forward to seeing this at the Limes! Any plans? Rysz. Just going to lower it a bit and keep it as it is for a while. Maybe swap it to a manual in the summer if the mood takes me (Yep, its an auto!) Probably do other little cheap bits in the mean time, tint the lights, maybe paint the kidney grill black, that sort of thing.

Just done a rough photoshop to test a few ideas: I probably wont get it that low though due to the speedbumps at work. Any other ideas are welcome.

I don't think I need anything at the moment, had an 'incident' with a kerb a month or 2 ago but its almost sorted now (replaced bent trailing arm, just waiting for replacement wheel to arrive). ;D See you at the Gathering!

These look so damn good with a drop, wheels etc......until you see a super clean unmolested one and it looks every bit as nice. Lovely motor buddy.
