lots of other stuff i cant remember at the moment
Tons of other extra parts too I cant think of.
I'll take photos tomorrow, the body has some dings and dents, zero rust (arizona and california 3 owner car).. Some chips of paint here and there, probably a 7 in terms of other e30's ive seen on the road.. pretty good, but i suppose ive seen nicer.
brand new rear small drivers window, though it needs to be tinted again (some douchebag broke it and stole the rear speakers out of the car while it was parked at work before I put it into storage over the last year)
The bad?
I bottomed out the car once upon a time and there was a small leak in the oil pan after that, I drilled and tapped the hole and put a brass plug in it, which seals it pretty well, but it still leaks a small ammount of oil (about 1 quart every 6-8 months).
Boosting it, it ran great, but on the 15-ish mile drive home from work, i blew the cover off my air flow meter. So I relocated it pre-turbo, and re-wired it accordingly, but never got a new air flow meter so it does not idle properly.
A new air flow meter, and the car should once again run like a champ(with perhaps a little more tweaking of the Vortech fuel pres. reg to fine tune everything.. she seemed to be running rich)
I hadn't dynoed it yet, but a gentleman who used a similar (although not as elaborate) setup with this manifold and turbo was getting 300trq and it was peaking around 2.2-2.5k rpm, and maintaining power up til about 5k rpm, where it slowly dropped off til redline.. felt wonderful.
How much you think its worth? Comments?
Wish I didn't have to sell her, I've been collecting parts, and doing homework, and wrenching on this car off and on for damn near 4 years. I never really drove it much in the last 2 years, using my other cars for transportation, slowly taking my time to build this one up.
But, being jobless, i'd rather have a roof over my head then a vehicle gather more dust because i can no longer afford to give her the love she needs.
