problems with the car:


- SMALL amount of rust starting under passenger rear bumper. not very noticeable and very common for e30 chassis cars
- paint is probably a 6.5-7 out of 10. for being as old as it is its in great shape but has its bad areas
- rear IS spoiler on the trunk has cracked/sundried paint. i should be replacing this so it wont be an issue
- moon roof has been siliconed shut (i guess from leaking the PO was too lazy to put a new seal in, i have a brand new seal for it but havent replaced it and probably wont, it will come with the car)
- interior has its little blemishes here and there but over all is in great shape (im very picky about aesthetics on my cars)
- either the previous owner of the car or whoever owned the coilovers prior to putting them on the car before i bought it, one or the other: when previous owner built the wheels he did his math wrong on the offsets and when he bolted them to the car the inner barrel flattened out the bottom couple threads on each of the front coilovers. yeah, this sucks but the car honestly couldnt drive any lower than it is right now and so those threads couldnt be utilized anyways.

again, that all i can think of at the moment and basically covers all the cons for the car which isnt much for how old this car is.




with that being said im looking at the following:

$11,000 OBO out the door for EVERYTHING


IF YOU FIND ME A BUYER FOR THIS CAR, I WILL PUT CASH IN YOUR HAND FOR A "REFERRAL FEE". yes, im serious about this. i need this car gone.


i cant even tell you how much new stuff this car has on it. engine parts, performance parts, tires, stereo system. all of this stuff has ZERO miles on it or has never been turned on yet and its all brand new. car will be up and running shortly. i really havent cut any corners in the process of making this car into a 6cyl beast. everything has been done to ensure that this car is healthy and will be healthy for many miles to come. im selling it to free up some debt and over the past year of owning it i havent really gotten to enjoy it and its put a salty taste in my mouth, im bascially just ready to move on and it seems as though im building the new owner (whoever that may be) a nice car.


this car will be ready for boost, a GREAT start for a track car, or leaving it as it is.


you can email me @ jacob_gans@yahoo.com


first few pictures are under my ownership and the last few are from the previous owner. exterior condition hasnt changed but the mechanics and some of the other exterior/interior aesthetics have gotten major upgrades.

[mvancE30]

if someone doesnt agree with the price they SHOULD mention it in the thread. consumer advice.

with that said, beautiful car. hope you get what you want for it.

[rmk232]

Very well executed, one of the best I've seen. If you're ever interested in trades let me know. I have a nice little S2000 that I'd give up in a heartbeat for this.

[FSUhorizon]

what did you make that front valence lip spoiler out of

It looks like a US spec MKIII VR6 lip.

Gotcha, how many miles on the chassis?

[RyChicago]

Ya extremely clean, really sharp. It's nice to see the pic of the M52 on the engine stand with the headers, cool idea to put that photo in the FS gallery. How did you get that photo with the fish-eye effect? Is that one of those "lens babies?"

ps - my mom gave me that same license plate one year when I was little as a stocking stuffer. . .

[about6]

No A/C....$10k....really? GL

thanks for the input.




no a/c, correct. thats the only thing that will not be utilized in this car. i wasnt planning on having a/c and rarely use it in my cars to begin with. the next owner can assess that situation if they so choose to want/have it.
