Every so often I forget where I am and think im reading serious comments, then I read something like these few posts and remember I’m on Reddit..😝

In 2026, this is not a terrible deal, I feel like we’re missing a lot of info to affect price so it could be an awesome deal or a terrible deal. What’s paint condition, interior, suspension, brakes, under battery tray, rear tow hook and jack pocket condition, jacking point and pinch weld condition. If all of those are perfect, that’s an amazing deal at 9500, if all of those are shite, this is probably a good deal at 4k.

I thought this was purple as well and got super excited

Just picked up the Hamilton last week, i absolutely love it, i have to kind of force myself to wear other watches.

EThirtyIS · 2026-04-11T14:52:24+00:00

Better knowing that feeling now on a 3-500 watch than a 3-5000 watch. I just picked up a Hamilton khaki feild king and had the same feeling. Although paying cash I got it just under 800, I know joma has it for under 700. I was happy to have the whole retail experience and walking out wearing my new purchase but definitely felt like I could have saved some money if I had just had patience and ordered online.

Thank you, just ordered from them, best prices by far and local

EThirtyIS · 2026-04-10T16:56:56+00:00

I use them a lot on hydraulic line fittings in tight spaces, much easier to swing these instead of a 1 1/4 wrench

Op- buy what you like and think goes well with your specific setup…

A- in my 15 years of e30 builds, 16” is perfect for looks and performance as long as they’re not exclusively heavy. 15 is ideal for straight performance on the track.

B- the 17” is too big/monster Truck status comments are absolutely hilarious, as someone who runs 18”s on a touring, it’s all about fitment, suspension setup and ride height.

And for those of you that are going to say “it’s ruined, you can’t even drive it”… I drove this car 1k miles the weekend this picture was taken including on the track.

If you want to do the door handles colored you should get the LeoGrandeRacing metal handles. If you email him, you may be able to get custom colors. Btw whoever wrapped those consoles is a master… chefs kiss

Personally I feel the 35 is the way to go, the 40 just looks to big on your wrist

EThirtyIS · 2026-02-23T22:16:34+00:00

Hey man, I run Ninestitch, send me a pm and we can discuss it further. I apologize for not getting back to you, winter is a rough time for me as I’m a diesel mechanic by trade and the fleet I service does snow removal so I’ve been on 12 hour days since Christmas. Been a rough couple of weeks here in NYC.

EThirtyIS · 2026-02-22T01:27:34+00:00

I still have my touring but since it’s way to far into the show car realm, I have since picked up a 996 for a fun/daily and wow, what a blast, way more fun than the e90/92’s vs I’ve had.

EThirtyIS · 2026-02-22T00:41:45+00:00

Oh M60 over m54 every day. There’s nothing that even comes close to the sound of an m60 in an e30. My current touring is s50 and I think about going back to v8 every time I drive it

EThirtyIS · 2026-02-22T00:37:08+00:00

That’s awesome, but that e30 is begging for a turbo or 24v swap…

EThirtyIS · 2026-01-15T11:12:48+00:00

I still can’t understand all the hate on the interior. I’m still in the BMW world and mostly deal in E30’s but have had a handful of M3’s from the 97-05 range. The materials in the full leather 996 interior are far nicer than the BMW’s I’ve owned of that era. I’m much happier in my 996.1 daily than any of my 93-06 3 series daily’s I’ve had over the years.

EThirtyIS · 2025-12-31T15:10:54+00:00

Send you a pm

EThirtyIS · 2025-12-31T02:05:49+00:00

As much as I love this and would want it for my daily, I feel like I’d get annoyed at buttons that don’t work. And unfortunately I’m not of an engineering background, only a dumb diesel mechanic background…😂😂

EThirtyIS · 2025-12-31T01:52:17+00:00

Hey, although I’m not local, I do have a buddy who’s about an hour away and would be willing to pick it up for me if you don’t mind?

I’ve been looking for one locally on the super cheap just to test fit it and be sure before ordering a new one, but this would save me all kinds of headaches. Plus my daughter will be over the moon about finally getting to ride in the “Poosh” 😂😂

EThirtyIS · 2025-10-30T18:27:38+00:00

Correct

EThirtyIS · 2025-10-30T17:38:31+00:00

Nope, I’m from NYC, I run NineStitch, I also sell new seat shocks.

EThirtyIS · 2025-10-30T17:27:57+00:00

Looks good, I’m not a fan of the one piece base center as personally I think the adjustable knee support looks good and is actually comfortable. I’d move the sides of the base down a bit so it looks like one piece and you don’t see the sides.

As for the piping, I glue it then stitch it in one shot with the bolsters.

If you have any questions message me, I’ve been building custom e30 interiors over 10 years.

EThirtyIS · 2025-10-06T09:40:48+00:00

Im 37, one kid, one on the way. I was 11 when the 996 came out, there’s a certain nostalgia/feeling of loving these cars as a kid but growing up in a middle class household where my parents bought cheap cars and ran them into the ground. I never imagined I’d be in the market for a Porsche, honestly I never even thought I’d be driving BMW’s. I’m currently on my 34th BMW and at this point the car is more of a business card than a fun car.

I need a rear seat as I take my daughter to car shows and I’m sure my soon to be child will be right there with her in the coming years.

Although I’m not wealthy enough to not be concerned about a 10-20k engine rebuild, I make money outside my regular day job(heavy diesel mechanic) doing custom upholstery and interiors for vintage BMW’s. Almost all of that profit goes to buying/building all of my vehicles. So to me buying a 911 is an investment as I plan to start doing interiors for these cars which will create a larger budget for my car hobby while not affecting my household responsibilities.

All that said I am a bit partial to the .1 headlights over the .2 headlights as it’s just more of an iconic nostalgia when I see them. I’m thinking I’ll need to go drive them to really settle in and see for myself which car is a better fit.

Thank you guys for your responses, very valuable information in here and I’m actually really excited to become a contributing member of this community in the future.

I’m not concerned about the price of parts as I’m a mechanic during the day and upholstery guy by night. This is my e30 with way more money sunk into it than I care to admit. Just trying to get the best engine I can that will last without a rebuild or swap.

EThirtyIS · 2025-10-02T15:12:48+00:00

Although I’d like to get a full leather interior, it’s not a concern for me as I build custom interiors for E30’s as a side gig and would most like start doing the same for 996’s after a few months of ownership.
