Now i need to look around to see what you guys are doing with your e30's.

very sexy car,

what wheels are they?

Wheels are made by Drag.

Seen this on R3v a few times. Look nice, very different to the norm. Oh and welcome.

dude she is a minter i really like it looks spot on

That looks great. Same person from Forzamotorsport.net!

Beautiful looking car! Welcome to the zone!

Same person. I seen someone say that they was on here, and i figured that it wouldn't hurt to join up and see what's going on, on here. I'm also on r3v and e30tech.

Hey nice ride, very !
They're the wheels i want, but in 16", can't find any in Aus though

Welcome....fantastic pics, love the old skool look you have gone for....am i rite in thinking the 2nd lever on the right is cruise control?

You're correct, it is cruise control.

And thanks for the kind words everyone

Wow - that looks awesome ! - certainly looks very 80's and not styled like anything you see in the uk.

Nice car dude - welcome to the zone

Very nice, very nice indeed. Well done in producing just the right level of understatement. From the shots, I almost prefer the Kamei rear spoiler to the MTech 1. I think I agree with capri-rob that a lot of UK cars are overstyled - MTech 2 is a step too far IMO. To my mind, this is where its at. Lovely car Jason, thanks for the pics.

I forgot to post pictures of the engine and the int. There's nothing really special about them but the int is red. And that's a rarity here in the states.

Hello mate. R3v seem to be comming over in bundels now...

Nice and original mate, keep it up

that is really nice Jason well done as said before its original and looks individual but not ott

Really really nice e30

Hi Jason forgot to ask where did you get your cam cover that is sweet

loving that look mate. good job

Hey mate loving the car!! I think sticking those chrome bumpers was definetley a wise decision

Very cool looking, probably economical too

Very rare with red carpet.

Tis a very nice car, different, but in a good way

Welcome to the Zone

Very nice old skool looking BM.......

.....retro Interior

Thanks guys....

The cam cover is a stock cover with the ribs sanded off. Then i painted it.

Wow, That looks Something a little different. I love the rims and i think the red pin stripe definatley adds to the look of the car

Haven't been on for a while but glad I did tonight! Great to see something different, yet tasteful! Welcome to the Zone.

Very Nice!
Nice to see some different styling. Welocome to the Zone

looks lovely rare to see a red interior any more pics of it

Now, that's a cool looking car! The all red rear lights look great!

If the A team branched out and got a BMW, That would be the car

A German Mr.T?

The car looks great, esp. in side profile! Lowered on those smaller wheels only makes it better! On 2nd viewing, it makes me think of a German Ford Escort Mk2, from the 80's.

(Starts to daydream......)

absolute gem!! & hello from belfast, northern ireland!

Welcome...I love the color!

just noticed your interior, im suprised to hear myself say i like it but i really like it its unique.
