Very nice e30 you've gotten there, exelium.
I'd love to own one some day - Start with a 1989-91 body and find an s52 for power.
 
Already posted it in the 'latest purchase' thread, but here is my new (or rather my wifes ;)) sweety:

It's a 2008 Honda CR-V 2.0 Executive with an original Mugen body/accessory kit. Interior is also loaded with options (e.g. sunroof, Kenwood DVD/Navigation with two Alpine headrest LCD screens, Pioneer sub etc. etc.). The perfect solution for family transportation. Also, it's the only one like this in the Netherlands, so it draws a lot of attention (positive mostly ;)).
 
Some real nice cars here guys..

I have actually just sold my car and driving around in a Nissan Bluebird at the moment :crazy: but ill post up what just previously has been my pride and joy, i was fortunate enough to have this when i was 18 :) Heaps of mods etc but i wont bore you! Cheers

Nice Subaru, I don't actually mind the huge wheels on it though I'm not sure they did much for the ride!

The bugeye one has certainly grown on me though, I think like pretty much everyone else I wasn't keen when it came out but now it looks pretty distinctive and suits the wagon shape especially.

Yeah the wheels are 19", that with adjustable suspension did make the ride a little rough but i replaced the springs with some lower (or higher, i forget now) rated springs and that made it ride real nice, and handle like an absolute dream!

Iv always been into wagons so only made sence to get it in the wagon model, probley would go for a 2004+ Subaru GTB if i was to buy another car at the moment though they are real nice.
 
I would RAT the hell outta that Golf mk3.. Nice car!

I didn't think Britian was large enough to hold that many vehicles, are you sure you're not royalty? :lol:

You should go to London in summer, I've never seen that much supercars in one street (near Harrods)..

Nice one Eirik, the Golf is looking ace. What wheels are currently on the Charade? Is the Daihatsu just a toy now then? Wish I had the disposable income to get a toy... well, another :p In fact, just having the money to finish the MX5 would be nice!
 
The Daihatsu's always been a toy, I've always had another car to daily, or been to young to drive it (got my Rolla as a daily right before I was old enough to drive) :)

Oh, and thanks dude :)

Not gonna happen, way too much money in this car plus rat look is dead. Getting the rust taken care of asap.. Thanks dude :)

Where did the money go? No hard feelings, I really like your car, but to me, rims + springs and a (VR6?) front lip isn't that much money.. Don't take me bad!!
 
It's cool, I prefer driving cars that look stock to the untrained eye ;) New gearbox, steering rack, rust welding, brand new front fenders, a couple of freshly painted grilles, full exhaust, loads of small details you'll only spot when jumping from this to another Golf, coilovers (springs don't go that low boiii) but those are being replaced anyway, gonna get the rust and paint sorted real soon.. :)

Still doesn't sound like that much money honestly. Just saying though. I've got far more stuff than that in my car and it hasn't been that much.

In any case though, this car looks better than your others so far, so stick to it!

It actually is that much money wasted if you now turn it to rat style,that was the goal of the discussion.
 
Well today My brother got another Mercedes.
2001 E430 4-Matic (silver and gray interior) 54k miles on it. One owner, a old fellow, so it was kept in super nice condition. Very nice smooth car.

Man where does he finds such clean cars kept in nice conditions? I think the older the driver, the more luxurious the ride, the more great of a buy it is.

I will post pictures tomorrow since it is already dark.
 
Miata is looking good Casey đź‘Ť Those are the wheels they use on the one-make series, aren't they?

200SX looks good too Jim, seems in pretty nice condition.

Thanks. :)

Honestly I don't even know what this "one-make series" is... :dunce:

The wheels are Konsei K1 Racing wheels. 15x7, 38mm Offset, 13.5lbs. TireRack special I'd assume. I doubt they would be used for any series racing, as one of the few things i've heard about them is they're not very strong, I may be wrong though. I picked up the whole set including the Falken Azensis RT-615 205/50-15s for $325. Not too bad considering the wheels themselves are in perfect condition (only tracked) and go new for $115 a piece. I'd like to keep them as strictly track wheels and tires, but they do so much for the car it's gonna be hard to keep them in the garage.

I've done a few more things to the car since that picture which I think improves upon the looks even more. It just really needs a good lowering now, hopefully in about 5 weeks i'll have the money to accomplish it, that's my goal anyways.

So people say the Dunlop Star Specs have a bit more grip than the Azensis? Wow. I've never driven on anything other than Wal-fart tires, but all I can say is these Falkens are incredible.

I've never run a Falken tire, but I can tell you the non-staggered Direzza Z1 Star Spec setup I ran on the S2000 when it was stock had incredible grip, especially compared to the OEM Bridgestone Potenzas. I ran some Kumho Ecstas on my Eclipse for a while because they were so cheap, and though I thought they were very grippy back then, the Dunlops made me realize I had no idea what a good street tire was capable of. I'd definitely recommend a set.

Spec Miata, or whatever they call it over there. Over here it's called the Ma5da series, and there's another MX5 series called the MaX5 series. No idea why we have two one-model series in such a small country...

But yeah, whatever your Miata championship is called. The wheels on yours though look very similar to what those cars run:
