Im a e30 fan myself. IM actualy consdiering that for a track toy. Im thinking of doing pikes peak in 2 years. Those wheels would be used but very ,very good shape. No curbing or anthing. But after shipping you can probaly buy your self a new set. My buddy wants 350 for them and with shipping your looking at over 4 hunney.

The car looks sick in these pics. Is it louder inside with the rear seats out? How much weight do you think you saved. Im with you on the tire. The pics of my honda i posted are 195/50 15 bridgestone re=01 r uhp. Its plenty of tire for my civic. There is no wheel spin in mine either my honda only came wth 72 fat hp from the factory. But it still chugs out 39mpg.

Much E30 love.... When I was a kid, my Dad had over a 5 yr period, a 88, 89, and 91 E30 M3 trio, all that Hennarot orangeish/red. Sweet car, too bad he sold them, they are worth ridiculous money today.

Haven't even driven it with the rear fully stripped yet, just with no spare, tools, rear cover, etc, about 40lbs, and that didn't seem to make a difference.

The parts I removed today were:
The rear bench bottom (light as heck, no way more than 6-8lbs)
The rear seat folding back part (this thing blew me away with how heavy it is!!!, at least 25lbs)
And the lower metal frame that the seat bench sits on (about 10lbs)

Someone said once (and I tend to agree), that a fully stripped rear with no spare and tools is about a 90-100lb weight savings...HUGE on a 2290lb car. Up next is some 10lb 15's and I 'should' be sub 2200lbs (too bad I'm a porker).

And what might those "tastes" be now?

I hear you i need to lay off the samiches myself. Your like me though we are tall enough when we are considered "fit" we are stil over 200lbs. I am 240lbs when i look my best. Im a long way from that from the wreck. My goal is to fit back into a sparco,momo seat. I like sitting down as well.I think i got myself sold on the rpf-1 if i go with the yaris. Im putting old school ssr im quite sure on the honda. I love the ssr fins.
