I’ve put way too many engines in these to be a fan of them. Sorry...

I’d say that’s accurate.

I can confirm from personal experience that those Buicks didn’t do so well with no brakes. Mine failed at night in the middle of nowhere later the same day this picture was taken. Luckily I was only five miles from home, so I took it slow.

I have a customer with an old 16-valve accord with SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES on it. Runs like a top. Definitely not uncommon to see these go over 300k. The cars rust out around them.

Yeah. If development on that engined had continued, it would probably be direct injected and turboed by now. Think about how awesome that would be!

Honestly I’m not sure there will ever come a time when it is too costly to maintain an e30 as a dd. I daily drove one with 300k on it, and it was just as functional as the day it left the factory. It wasn’t expensive to fix; parts for these are pretty cheap. I ended up trading that for a e34 535I manual, and now I dd…

At this point i had a decent amount of money in it. About 2000 miles later, it developed a rod knock. I limped it to my…

Recently traded one of my E30’s for an E34. When I ran the trade past my girlfriend, the first question out of her mouth was “does this one have cupholders?”

I'm feeling a jaguar XJS. Think of how much fun you could have with one of those!

Quite possibly. Kinda depends on my TSD rally schedule and how many weekends I'm working.

These are the guys who organize the wisconsin ice races - not a whole lot of info yet but keep an eye out for it.
