Suspension will be mission #1, and maybe some wheels/larger tires. I kind of default to a mild drop with H&R/Billies but I'll have to read up on what that might restrict tire sizes to.
I've got a battery and will bring it to the show. The new brown temp sensor should be waiting on the front porch when you get home, so hopefully that's the right one to work.
I'd like to publicly thank DJ, Joey, Matthew, Taylor, Jake, James, Chris, and probably other's I'm forgetting for everyone's assistance in making this rustpile happen. I haven't been in the south too long, so this may not be right, but allya'll is good people, bless your hearts.
DJ, enjoy the tach on the way down!
If anyone but DJ tackled this project, it wouldn't have been done in the next 4 years. Great job DJ and everyone else that made this happen. I'm super stoked to see this!

One of my neighbors came over while I was working on it last week and goes wait are these 14"s? They look HUGE?! :lol:

Took goodspeed out for a ride after rushing to button it up (and forgetting to hook back up the fuel line in my rush doh!). Hooked back up the fuel line and ripped on her pretty good. It's undoubtedly quick for an e30. With the 195s it burns through 1st, burns through 2nd on a hard launch and chirps 3rd. Many hoots were had.

Just reposting this here so we remember the beautiful place where this project started: ![[Image: 30d38e143824073c4fa8cf9c01c263fe.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170331/30d38e143824073c4fa8cf9c01c263fe.jpg)
Dave is going to have to spring for a full tank of gas for all the people probably taking this for a loop around the car show...
Edit: Because of Goodspeed's car needing an exhaust I didnt get to finish up cleaning up the wiring  But the new temp gauge is installed and verified working.

All the power, all the body roll, none of the grip, none of the stop. I almost don't want it to change. This was my last run and most tame. It's a shame the other 3 weren't recorded because I was very very sideways but i figured I should try for at least one serious run. I was doing 70 seconds going sideways and did 66 on this run here. This thing is gonna be unstoppable after suspension, brakes and tires oh lawd. This is by far the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of a car. Thanks for letting me enjoy it, Dave!

This thing is awesome. I've thought about getting an e30 to swap an s50 or s52 in a lot over the last few years.
Trade you a drive in this thing for a drive in the M3 :wink:

I think Taylor's sawzall is still in Zach's garage. I'm getting really good at cutting exhaust pipes.
In seriousness though, I think it's perfect. Total sleeper.
