As Dane would say, my Imolarot itches...

Love the car, Az.

Me too.

Nice car! I think there may be an Imola Syndicate within the ZHP Mafia.

It's kind of funny; I got Imola because I thought it was a rare color. Turns out, a large portion of the ZHPs I see pics of are Imola. Now I want Alpine; I very rarely see those. lol



Nah, Imola all the way. :

When you refinished them, were you able to take out and reinstall the ///M logo without damaging it or did you just replace it. If you replaced them, where did you get the replacements?

I believe the guy took them off and put them back on. I don't see why it would be such a big deal to just get new stickers; they'd at least look fresh! I'm sure they're cheap, too.

And what's your suspension setup? Its looks completely badass sitting like that!

H&R Race springs, I think. It was like that when I bought it, and I'm definitely keeping it as-is.

AZ's car is sooo smexy

Thanks all for the comments. I have a couple of things planned in the future that I think would look absolutely badass:
* Have only inside angel eyes light up (around high beams)
* Club sport splitters
* Motorsport flag on front left corner of hood in black
* FIX THE MIRRORS! Whoever put them on didn't make them work. They don't adjust.
* Toying with the idea of yellow headlight Lamin-x covers. Not sure yet.
* Possibly 35% tint. Maybe.

Looks awesome!

One of your pics was my background for a while..

Pics of the E30 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[az3579]

The E30 was in rough shape externally, and had some growing problems mechanically. Was still reliable though, and definitely not swap related. Most of these pics are before the euro bumper swap. The euro bumpers didn't quite fit right because the body was tweaked front and back, but still looked LEAGUES better than those hideous diving boards!





In winter beater mode:



And doing what it loved doing:





Unfotunately I didn't upload many pictures onto Photobucket, so this is the only shot I have of the engine... lol

Awww man!!! Perfection!!!

I want an E30 sooo bad!!! I am thinking M30 swap though

[az3579]

I did S50 because it was much newer technology, put out great power for a car that weighs 2780 lbs., and got great fuel economy once I changed that blasted O2 sensor. I averaged a good 24mpg mixed city/hwy with that car, including all the times I went out to a "fun" drive!

Sooo cool!!

Yeah an S50/52 would be the best but probably more expensive right??

Eh if you do it do it...S54 it is

Serious though....an E30 FTW!

Welcome. Glad to see you made your way over here.

Prices for S50/52 engines are getting lower, as the mileages certainly aren't getting lower!
S54 in the E30 is overkill, in my opinion. Plus, that would be a ridiculous amount of money compared to how much I spent on my swap. When all was said and done, including parts and labor, I must have spent a good $5-6 on the swap at a minimum! Imagine how much an S54 swap would be. That isn't quite as straightforward as a swap as the 50/52...

I agree with E30 FTW though. :D

Absolutely! How could I miss out on all things ZHP?

Yeah I was just messin'. S50/52 is the best swap! Wow thats not a lot of money that you spent on doing it all!

[az3579]

My bank account doesn't quite agree with that statement. lol


It sure as hell was fun running with a pack of Ferrari's on I-84 one day though! That F355 couldn't shake it...
