My last name is Clayton, I am grandfathered in by the Clayton Bigsby act of 2006 and therefore welcome to your white rallies

I just checked my pocket statute book; this is true.

I’d be down for that, should we include all white BMW’s so @Jdesign isn’t left out with the white shark?

6 series are too elitist for us, pssh. he will be too busy being in rap videos and having a valet park the car while he hits the links.

It wasnt a rap video, it was an "English romantic" LOLOL thank you very much...

Wired up the amp to the new hot-swappable subwoofer. Not bad for $100 and I use it with the Land Cruiser. Still, need to figure out a way to tie it down

Dont tie it down, the sound of it flopping around in the trunk will hit some surprisingly low frequencies that are gonna get you some sick street cred

Minor update: Replaced the ECU with a 173 unit so that I can chip/tune and upgrade the injectors.

Odometer stopped working so replaced the OEM gears w/Garagistic gears. Pretty easy fix that doesnt require removing the steering wheel but blew out a bulb in the process.

I would love to purchase a California/Arizona car in the future and either ship it to drive it back. Looks like a really clean example. Early model verts have a great look.

Finally got rid of the white w/M stitching shifter and parking brake boots. Picked up a CATuned set and it fit great. If anyone wants the old set I'm happy to give them away.

Now its time to upgrade the shifter knob. What's your favorite for the E30?

straight6pwr

zhp knob > all. oem quality, good price, heavy feel.

@straight6pwr Is there a ZHP shift knob w/o the silver ring at the bottom?

straight6pwr

no, but its super easy to spray paint to black. or vinyl wrap it.

I think I'm going to have to do this, I really dislike the silver ring. I'll take the boots if no one else needs them, mine are pretty nasty.

I have a leather shift boot with the m stripes if you want it.

My bad I missed this. Still interested in the boots?
