<![CDATA[my E30 story]]>i got this car because i want to start to drift. jake got me hooked ever since i went to a drift day with him. i just got the car because i finally got some extra cash and i am getting tired of the Volkswagen scene. 

here is my current parts runner/ daily driver.

after that the car was pulling hard to the left. once i put it away for winter i took out the rear axle and bearing. i decided to cut the boot open because i was curious. and i found  this.

i also dipped my car.

the other strut was worse than the first one i pulled out. the outside of the strut shell was coated in the grease or oil that was inside when it wasn't blown. now im just waiting on FedEx to bring me my darn coilovers.
