WHAT WOULD YOU OWN IF NOT AN E30 ??
Moderator: martauto
as the title suggests.. dunno if its been on here before I own a vw and more on the dub forums , and this questions was raised and the E30 was a firm favourire with the dubbers. so for the same type of money that you have spent what would be another choice ??

I would like to put the Audi KV 5-pot in a MK2 Golf or a Scirocco, but I have gone jap recently and some interesting machinery then comes into the radar.

It would be a Vauxhall Zafira because thats what I own.
But if the question was, what would you like to own!
It would be this

and this at the same time

I've always fancied an E34 M5 but I'm now waiting for the E39s to come into range 
There are alot of cars I'd consider. Literally dozens.
Ultimately, something interesing and RWD.

R33 Skyline GTS
Delta intergrali evo
Mk1 Escort with Cosy lump
I'd love to own a 290 Brookland's Capri, just for the experience

MKII Mexico or a Fiat Mirafiori both mucho fun but i like my estates so id have to say T5 Please, your gettin ex police ones for a song just now gotta be worth a shot 
Corrado VR6, just for the noise and the fact that nothing else on the road looks remotely similar to them.
Possibly a E30 320is, very understated.

If the E30 didnt exist all together id have probably gone for a mk1 Toyota MR2 (came close to buying one anyway!) or a mk2 Golf GTi, not sure about 8v or 16vs tho.
Mind you, my current car ive deemed as a good replacement

Most likely an Impreza, that and the sport are the only cars i dont mind heavy insurance on, but failing that then a Peugeot 106 S2 Rallye.

In place of the M3 possibly a Lancia delta Inegrale Evo II or Audi Quattro 20v
The 325i sport I would replace with a Ford Escort MKII RS 2000

hmm, I spent Ԛ£300 on my e30, so i'm kinda limited...bigrimz wrote:as the title suggests.. dunno if its been on here before I own a vw and more on the dub forums , and this questions was raised and the E30 was a firm favourire with the dubbers. so for the same type of money that you have spent what would be another choice ??
Ԛ£188 bought me an e34 535i and Ԛ£100 bought me an e32 735i, so thats not too bad.
for Ԛ£300 i'd probably buy a skudder of a "valver nova" as they are scary as feck.
maybe a 190e merc.
or a humped mk2 golf gti 8v small bumper in black.
The big Unit Parts Clear out Make me an offer on parts!

sorry abit off topic but I have been offered an evo Integrale for Ԛ£6k. L reg, about 70k miles and rebuilt engine and new turbo about 5k ago. ALll bills and history too. It needs a respray though as its got abit of surface rust bubbling up. Is that good money you think?
It sound's pretty good as everything has been rebuilte30m3lover wrote:sorry abit off topic but I have been offered an evo Integrale for Ԛ£6k.
