It's an import, it came over from Japan about 3 years ago and I've owned it since. I'd love an Australian delivered one but $$$$

When I first got it (100% stock):




Relatively current. (Since these track pictures - less enormous exhaust, wider tyres, and more engine things)



If it won't poo poo up the thread I can elaborate on what I've done to it.

And don't listen to people who say you can't daily drive these. I've driven it almost every day for the last 3 years, putting in about 50k km and loved every minute of it.

That is a lovely R32. I'd like to hear about some of the engine mods if that's permitted.

Here is our runabout a 1979 vw rabbit. We are the second owners ever and its just great.



We both rotate through the cars during the week, the misses prefers the bmw and the rabbit but takes the evo when she has the kiddo. I tend to drive the evo to work in the dry and the m3 in the wet. The rabbit rarely goes farther than the market and is the best in the snow. Ill take some interior and engine bay pictures later on.

Id like to see pics of the interior and engine bay, it look in very good shape.

I shot some pictures. Shot them on a borrowed camera, and accidently had it 1 1/3rd stop underexposed, and was too lazy to retake them. They turned out OK for web use.

Oh wow, that 325i's pretty mint. I love when E30s still have the pinstripe, it's so subtle but it's a lovely touch.

It's pretty decent for a 325is with 197k. It looks even fancier when I've got my other wheels on it.

In it's original life that fabric was blue but it fades to purple :allears:

Amazing find with 49k on the odo. It's like a unicorn over here, I'm just waiting for the old man to post his mint condition, kept in the barn for the last 20 years MR2 turbo but I might be waiting awhile.

1994 Mazda B4000. It has 127000 kms on it and I picked it up for $2500 last weekend. I think its a pretty good deal.

That does not look like a car that's covered nigh on 200k. Do you use it daily, if you don't mind me asking?

No, the silver one is what I daily. However, it used to be my DD. It's a really nice example of an E30, but it is showing its age in some spots. Overall, it's super solid and clean, however.

That MR2 was a great find with such low miles and no mods. It is so hard to find clean, lightly driven, "classic" imports without them being beat to crap, badly modded, or driven into the ground.

i just remembered i took this picture about a month ago. This was at the Kentucky visitor center on I71 after about four hours at around 80mph. Can't believe it actually looked that clean.

1997 Range Rover 4.0 SE with 125k. And to be honest, it is one of the most awesome trucks ever. It is a bit of a turd on the road, but drat it is awesome at 80. The air ride was swapped to coils, which I would rather have.

Check your rear sills for rust, allot of the older sw20s over here are rotting from the inside which is pretty costly to fix if you cant weld.

Its amazing how cheap you can pick one up these days, you can pick up a nice rev3 na for less than a grand if you shop around. I'm on the lookout for a nice turbo hardtop shell atm.

In my quest for a new car this fall I've often wondered if I would buy another Monte Carlo if Chevy still offered one. I don't think anyone offers a coupe with so much trunk space that still gets decent mileage. I'm pretty sick of this 4 speed auto though.

The huge trunk and fold down rear seats really sold me on the car. I get pretty awesome mileage if i keep my foot out of it. Last road trip i averaged just over 29mpg for over 300 miles with the cruise between 70-75.

uuuuuuugh I miss my MR2's :( I bought a '91 SW21 when I was 19 - had 200k on it and I donated it to charity a little after it rolled 500k. My sw20 was loving fast, too. It was just very, very unreliable.

I need to boost my s2000 :sigh:
