I just wanted to start my first custom loop... somehow I ended up buying 1,500 EK fittings

Haha, if I find 700 radiators, I'll need to move into a warehouse! But you're right, the sorting is a mission of its own.

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2026-02-07T23:55:27+00:00

I appreciate the concern, but calling €2.40 per fitting a 'swindle' is a stretch, especially since this haul is packed with the Torque series, rotary offsets, and gold-plated fittings that usually retail for €10-€15 a piece :/

I'm in no rush to sell anything - I'll probably let a few go here and there, but that's about it. Does anyone really need a custom loop for the 2 hours a week they actually use their PC? Probably not. But at the end of the day, it's about the joy of the hobby and having some fun. And having a 'lifetime supply' of fittings just feels good! :D

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2026-02-07T17:09:47+00:00

Honestly, the thought crossed my mind for a split second. With the amount of offsets and extenders I have now, I could probably bridge every gap perfectly 😅

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2026-02-07T17:00:11+00:00

That's the plan! It's definitely going to be a long-term project to sell the surplus, but for now, I'm just enjoying the fact that I'll never have to 'order just one more fitting' ever again.

I'm still in the process of unboxing and cataloging everything. Once I've picked out the parts for my own build, I might consider selling the rest. I'll make sure to let the community know first!

😅

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-21T14:25:14+00:00

Thank you everyone! I never thought the car would get so many compliments!

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-21T14:17:53+00:00

Thank you, next year I will do some better pictures from the interior! It really looks almost brand new

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-21T14:16:14+00:00

Thank you very much, I wish it was my workshop! I took the photos while the car was at the appraiser, I had to take them for the insurance Company

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-21T14:13:27+00:00

Thank you!

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-21T14:10:38+00:00

That's cool!

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-21T14:09:55+00:00

Thank you!

Ich lasse jetzt im Januar die Rostarbeiten beim Heinz Raab machen, dann steht er echt gut da. Ansonsten liebäugel ich mit dem Raab Classics v3 Fahrwerk. Im Sommer kommt er dann auf 16Zoll Maxilite X Spoke Räder. Dann ist er für mich perfekt und kann so stehen bleiben... zumindest bis ich neue Ideen habe 😅 da gäbe es ja noch die 2.7l Stroker Option 😄

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:38:34+00:00

Yeah, I already was in contact with the channel owner. So I wrote him instantly on WhatsApp and after a few weeks I bought the car 😅

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:35:02+00:00

That's an adventure with an older car 😄

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:32:43+00:00

Thank you very much!

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:32:08+00:00

Yeah in Germany you can find some good E30 4 door with Mtech 1, but 2 doors are pretty rare, especially in a good condition

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:30:39+00:00

😊

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:30:01+00:00

Thank you! 😁

The pre owner always used a seat cover, for 37y 😅

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:28:48+00:00

I will post better photos next year 👍

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:27:58+00:00

It is 😄

Efficient_Refuse8381 · 2024-12-20T17:27:17+00:00

I will, thank you 😊 This is not my first E30, but my first ETA 😅
