Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Hope he pulls through and makes a speedy recovery.

I may have found his channel where he was swapping a V8 into a 300zx. Seems like a nice guy from what little i've seen.

Same here. xD

Something I don't like about FH3, the Drone/Camera can't get that high, and doing aerial shots of cars and landscapes is just not possible :(

it's quite cool really, and it looks so clean with a tucked bay.

anybody know a good place where i can sell genuine bmw e30 wheels? i've had a complete set sitting in my backyard for god knows how long, maybe 15 years or so, and it's just taking space. my dad put it on ebay and craigslist, and still there were no bites. where's a good place to sell them, maybe see if i can get some bites?

There are some sweet cars here but I do believe it is time for some rotary sexiness :)

 

Mazda RX-4 - I bloody love the rotary pulsing, very unique sound.

Ebay but drop the price until someone bites. Craigslist is probably a good place too.

my dad tried both, no bites. maybe something else might work, maybe a place centered around gearheads?

If nobody bites the price is probably too high. Maybe try Facebook Marketplace?

idk. maybe i would. what's a solid price for a set of 4, with original tires? (more than likely they're dry rotted to hell, so maybe lower it so owner can get a new set of tires) would 450 be a fair price?

put them up for auction for $1 and see what happens. don't even set a reserve. If they sell for $50 or something stupid then "whoops you don't have them anymore"

I would go closer to 300. How many e30s do you see running around with stock wheels?

actually in my area, quite a few. maybe 375?

i mean i think these rims are still worth pretty good money, so i'd like to see them go for no less than 200 preferrably. i mean i'd give up some steelies for like 50, but not genuine bmw rims.

 

but really it somewhat doesn't matter, i'll still be making a profit. my old neighbor (who is no longer my neighbor) actually put them out on the curb, and actually put a free sign on it. so my dad did take them. so really i'll be making a profit no matter the price.
