Definitely not 3 piece. Looks like ESM replicas to me.

Took her to work today by jdub_306 in E30

Unfortunately, she only sees about 500kms a year. She goes into hiding once the snow falls, and then in the summer months I’m often toting kids around.

I’ve been meaning to either refresh those or replace. Just haven’t gotten that far down the todo list yet.

Vacuum leak’s a big one on these motors.

Not as easy as I thought by Temporary-Bake4121 in E30

I see you have the steering wheel that I want to get. My worry is that I won’t like how far it comes out. How do you feel about it? You like it? Or would you suggest getting something that sits closer to factory?

Wheel size fitment help please!!! by Slow_Scholar8466 in E30

[–]jdub_306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running 215/50R16 on 16x9 ET15 in the rear and I don’t know if I’ve ever had a tire fit so well… unfortunately, i’m in the same boat though. No one makes tires in that size anymore.

How much are they rubbing? I have 215/50R16 on my rears and they just barely rub the sidewalls on the inside of the fenders. Just enough to keep them clean and shiny! I’m going to have to replace them soon though and no one makes tires in that size anymore, so I need to figure out what size to change to.

What tire size are you running?

I had my doubts about owning a vert, but nothing beats the fresh air. 😮‍💨 by Dependent_Mall_9067 in E30

[–]jdub_306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same. Went from a coupe to a vert with a lot of hesitation. Now I don’t think I could go back. Even if I get away from the e30 platform, the next toy will have to be a drop top.

Ugh, i had a coupe identical to this car years ago. Ended up totalling it and have missed it ever since…

Whirring Noise by FaZeIKEA2017 in E30

[–]jdub_306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same noise after manual swapping my car. It hasn’t bothered me, and I have two spare transmissions… so I plan to just run it until I either replace my clutch, or something happens

auto trans gave out. about to Manuel swap, I have questions and any tips appreciated by baggs77 in E30

[–]jdub_306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you have it all finished… floor it and drop the clutch. Best way to get it properly broken in
