E30 is dead but I'll be back

Hi guys,

My E30 died a couple of weeks ago so no more runs with it (details here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=259792) but I'm buying another car this week and I'll be posting up runs as soon as I find someone.

Gonna be on the lookout for Z06's, boosted S2000's, GTR's, Evo's, STI's, pretty much anything that is an 11-second car with high traps. I'll do my best to turn my GoPro on. See you guys soon.

Prius drivers are the most obnoxious drivers, imo. Good luck with the rebuild.

I had a Prius for 3 weeks, I beat the PISS out of it and still got 40mpg shit crazy lol.

I generally try to refrain from stereotypes, but I often find myself wanting to pummel the majority of Prius drivers I encounter. They really do seem to be horrible drivers.

Glad you're ok. You should have requested an ambulance and then gone into self induced massive seizures.

We honestly do have the worst, most unskilled fucking morons here in this state. I HATE IT.

There won't be a rebuild. Parting everything out for $10-11k.

If you ever need help finding one, let me know. I'm on R3Vlimited as well.

I really should've requested the ambulance. My neck is pretty fucked up. PRetty sure there's some sort of permanent damage.

Yep, it was! It's the rare color Delphin Metallic. It looked even better in person. You can't quite tell if it's gray or geen.

Glad you're ok dude. Sounds like you were really in love with that car

It sounds like you've already got your car picked out. What are you getting?

Do you want a surprise, or for me to drop some hints?

Sorry to hear about the E30 man, it was a blast driving that thing .. torque monster!

I'm assuming anything with AWD and 400+ whp, it'll be boosted with gobs of torque .

is 400whp Factory or 400whp modded?? If modded I am thinking EVO/WRX STI....If factory then shit that is going to be expensive as Fuk!! so I going to say modded EVO or WRX STI!!

p.s. oh if it is a awd 335xi with jb4 then I don't consider those real AWD cars but yeah those are my guesses

EVO 8-9, if you're buying a Subaru with 400awhp, you'll regret it.

To those who guessed: yes, it's an Evo 8. An RS. Weighs a bit above 3000 lbs. I'm picking it up on Sunday and I will be tuning 2 days later at Road Race on 91 pump and E85. Stock turbo, full 3" exhaust, downpipe, test pipe, cams upgraded injectors, fuel pump etc. Hope to make 400-430 whp on RRE's dyno with almost equal torque. I got really lucky and found a one owner RS owned by an older dude. And I got a killer deal on it.

I'll be hooking up the GoPro and making some fun videos soon!!

lol I thought the GT2 was AWD, maybe it's the GT3...only reason I guessed Porsche was the 3,000lb comment, but the RS makes sense.

Sucks about the E30. Not worth attempting a fix?
