Do you have a wish list for your e30 next year?
Moderator: martauto
Yeah but i've spent a small fortune on it in the past year or so and i want to buy more photography gear. Plus i dont have alot of time to work on it at the moment becuase of my apprenticeship + coursework

Build the M42b21
Restore the shell,
Fit all new suspension, bushes etc
Get a 3.91 and rebuild it
Fit all the other little morsels I've been gathering up for it
Touring (should hopeufully have this done over christmas)
Bin the M40
do a mini re-build an M42 I have for it,
rebuild the diff from the iS for it to 40%
Spray the tec 2 apron
some suspension of some sort and replace any bushes that might be needed
Maybe fit a beige Sport leather interior rather than the beige comfort stuff in it.
Drift car
finish the shell
sort the ECU (should have this done for Christmas)
sort suspension, brakes and steering
finish preping and fit the S54 for the last time,
rebuild and fit the M5s diff,
sort the interior bits even if its only the bare essentials
Hopefully get it on track..... highly doubtful this year however
Then maybe find something for the M60 or S38 if it can be fixed
No way, I'll get everything done this year but out of the things I wanted to do to my iS last year which I didn't expect to get done, I got a good share of them done so heres hoping the same will apply this year

Fix the rust 

New door trims, headlight and kidney grilles, bumper inserts, front and rear screen seals, sunroof seal, wheel refurb, new tyres, washer bottle, bonnet insulation, electric aerial, drivers seat re upholstered (underway), fit new dash (in stock), fit my climate control system (in stock), Mtec springs, front fogs, new centre console, mirrors re-painted (when our painter pulls his finger out), new repeater lights, the list goes on.

Mine is basically sound at the moment, but it is storing up some aggro judging by the MOT advisory sheet!
I'm going to go for:
I'm going to go for:
- New summer tyres
A decent body shop to sort out some minor rust issues before they grow
Get the underside cleaned off and protected with either POR-15 or waxoyl
Keep a very close eye on the clutch
Fix the rear washer
Sort the underdash panel out once and for all
Investigate the fuel gauge and breathers
Get some new exhaust hangers and strap that bitch down!
E30 Touring 0.35 cD - more slippery than prison soap 

Praise the Lard... and pass the dripping!

M3 - Get it running and get some track time in on it.
Touring - suspension overhaul and new summer wheels. Maybe an LSD too.

Get another e30. Get to a meet. Probably gonna get to a meet before I get an e30. I cant afford to run the dirty6 I'm about to acquire and an e30, so that will have to wait for a few years.

ARP Bolts + Baffled Sump - WILL HAPPEN
Vinyl Wrap - Was gonna happen until some C##! decided to pour paint stripper all over my year old road car and stab the tyres!!!
STILL - At least the E30 was parked safely in the garage!!

The conversion is in and has one track day and one dift day under it's belt!!

No problems taking you for a spin, in fact if you can get to Brands on Sat 11th you can come for couple of laps around the track!!

Actually, I think I saw you getting ready for one of those days a few weeks back. Drove past your gaffe in a job motor and saw you and some other fella with a track looking car outside your place.
Will see about Brands, as ever, funding is a bit on the tight side! Whens your motor coming back then?

Reckon I'll chop in my front mint black leather coupe recaros and pony up the 4-500 notes for a full touring spec set.
I have rear suspension waiting to go in, will see how that handles then think about doing the front.
Finally get round to de-soldering my fncking annoying soldered in chip and replace with the mild chip I've got kicking around.
Buy a refurbished AFM and finally redo my injectors
Replace the bonnet lining
Fit a six branch

Next week some time I think, it's in the paint shop as we speak.
I don't really want it anymore now though.... It won't be the same.
I'm gonna fit some security cameras at the weekend just incase but I think I'm gonna sell it when I get it back and get something that doesn't stand out as much.
Anyway we are spamming this thread now!! SORRY PEEPS!!!
