New member here(rubbish pic of my £500 steal posted)

[JoeE30]

Afternoon all.

I'm new to here and was only really looking for some where to buy a front bumper for my 1989 325is. I bought it about 6 months ago after the previous owner had messed with the vac hose and left it out the master cylinder and hit a towbar equiped car up the ass, making a mess of the front bumper.

I was just in the right plce at the right time and paid Ԛ£500 for it.

I aint got acess to a dig cam at the mo but as soon as i have i will post pics of her.

She has 102k on the clock and is completely std other then a sparco racing seat that i have just fitted due to using it on track this yr.

Body work is in top condition and so is the rest of the interior, needs tyres and some decent brakes, any recomendation ould be brill.

Ohwell enuf chatting nice to be here!!!!

Welcome to the e30zone Joe!

[JoeE30]

Fank you, im used to being on www.passionford.com as i used to have many an RS, but always liked the e30 so when this came up i jumped at the chance.

Lil more, the other half drives a E46 328ci with M-Tech kit and all the goodies,nice but the E30 wins out rite...

Any brake upgrades which are worth looking in to?

How far and how much do you want to spend?

First off I would change fluid for some better stuff, make sure the calipers are working as they should, rebuild kit is availble from the dealers, and change the flexi pipes for some braided ones.
