WIBIMMERS

It's been a long time since I posted on here but want to give the local community a chance before I start shipping. Car lacks drivetrain but I may have some old M42 remnants.

I have a decent collection of parts I'd like to try selling locally before shipping. I've listed some key pieces below but let me know if there are parts you're looking for. 

Corbeau GTS II seat pair and E30 seat brackets, used one season - $900
Depo smoked crosshair headlights, Brand new- $225
Motometer Gauge cluster - hasn't been used for 4 years. Was functional other than ODO. Chips for 318is and 325e - $250
Early model Sport steering wheel, Missing leather wrap - $100
Late model bumpers with euro trim (deletes side markers, All OEM) - $1800
IS spoiler (OEM) - $200
Mtech 1 spoiler (aftermarket, Garagistic) - $200
IS side skirts (OEM) $325
Pop-out window Set, latches aged but work- $350
2.79 LSD diff - $500

Let me know if you have questions.

This is super late but still worth posting I thought. On a late season drive last November I came across ClassE30 parked on a side road and couldn't pass up the shot.

Thanks for the ideas. Tried Wd-40 tonight on a small area and seems to be working better then anything else I tried. Might try some of the others tomorrow if I have time.

I didn't even think of WD! I'll try it out tonight. Thanks!

Not very "technical" but does anyone have tips on removing the under hood adhesive without stripping the paint off as well? I've tried Goo-Gone, simple green, paint thinners... The foam was trash so I pulled it off and I'm not sure the current state is an improvement.

Congrats and welcome! Best of luck with the project.

This car is awesome. I saw it at Road America last year during the Hawk vintage races. It was the day after I bought my E30 project and only boosted my ambition to get moving. Great work!

Beautiful car, Sir!

Looks like the misalignment wrecked the damper as well. Im guessing they did this because the sheetmetal for the mount tore out

Yeah the shock was toast. Body was fine though oddly enough. None the less I added reinforcement plates when I did the suspension update.

Thanks everyone! Here is a fix from the previous owner that I had to reverse. He gets points for originality... it definitely explains the clunking I heard driving it home.

Awesome. What color did you spray the car?

It's called Dyno Blue Pearl (Honda factory color). Trying to get some good pics because it really pops in the sun!

I did paint it myself (first time attempt in my garage, haha) so it has it's flaws if seen in person. I'm just happy it's one color!

I'm going to try and drive it some this next week (weather was perfect for Throttle Thurs this week! Wish I could have made it) . Only have about three miles on as I've been trying to get it somewhat "presentable".

iX side skirts?

iS Side skirts.

So I've been off the forum for a bit but I thought I would hop on and give a quick update on the E30 status. Should finally be getting some miles on starting next week. 

I apologize that this really isn't a "build" but I hate saying I'm going to do things and then not getting it done. So I'll just show what happened 

Before

During

After

Noteable updates

Paint, Euro bumper Trim, Side skirts, IS lip, Shaved antenna, H&R springs and Bilstien shocks, updated rear shock mounting with reinforcments, Pop-out window conversion, wheel refresh. 

More to come, but probably at a slower pace...

Looks great! I look forward to seeing you cruising the streets of Oshkosh (dodging pot holes).

I hope I can make this. Less then a mile from my house and in my work parking lot.

Cherry stock e30 on the UW campus.

Make sure you wear protection when filming dirt donuts.

Welcome! The 5 looks great for that kinda mileage and that e30 looks immaculate as well!

Definitely making it to a couple of these.

Welcome! I would love to own an 02 but it sounds like you have a strong hold on the supply. Haha looking forward to a shot of the collection.
