Is that the exhaust you can see poking out the back? Looks funny with the steels on.

yeah it is the exhaust you can see im afraid, its had a chavvy exhaust since we got it and we havent bothered to replace it as it works ok and we arent really bothered what it looks like anyway.

Will be barrier shaped soon anyway i suspect!

(if anyone wants to buy a nice set of good nick heated leather seats let me know and ill put your name on the list for when we break it, LOL)

Nice pic. How are you both finding the E30 now then? Still fun or have you got bored of it yet?

Well, its a bit half and half really, we both quite like the car as a car for chomping up motorway miles and stuff like that, and it handles in a fairly pleasant way, but TBH no matter what we do to it its never going to seem very interesting on a track, just cause of the sort of cars we are both used to, MarkT for example had prior to this a 230bhp stripped out nova, so we would need 400bhp in the e30 before it had similar pace, and its also never going to handle as well for stuff like going through chicanes where you have to ge a lot of weight changing direction qiuckly.

But that said, the moment it rains, the E30 is just awesome fun, where as a FWD car just wants to plough on in the wet, the sideways possibilities of the E30 are great.

I think for what we want though, a reasonable handling car thats comfy for going over to the ring, reasonable round the circuiut wether its wet or dry, and not too much fear of mechanical doom, its still a good choice though


Mind you, on the reliabillity side its not doing too well so far, lol, we had to change a front wheel bearing at the track, it was lucky there was one in stock in GSF cardiff!
