Popped my E30 cherry in a Calypso. Looked best at night, under street lamps, preferably raining. Love how that vert looks better than the 458.

I am surprised this thread does not have more pages, considering I have just seen a video of an E30 with a flammer kit.

Where are the OEM crew?

Thought this thread would have been closed by now from the trash talking that normally goes on.

Flammer kit on a E30 is a super NO NO!!!!

Not heard that yet Pete, you must have an informer, he bought (and paid for) some camber plates recently, to max out the gape on the tug I expect, if he is going croozing he will need to get rid of the real alpinas thats for sure :D

They looked pretty cool and manly i thought, Speeding round town is defo one way to impress the ladies from what i remember being 17 lol

The car's not bad looking though, you have to admit.

The car looks fine, but do you have to bounce it off the limiter all the fucking time
