Super clean e30, 139K miles, new motor with top of the line turbo setup. Currently making 400hp running on e85. Very fast and fun to drive. I always wanted an e30, and found the car at a small speciality dealer in the Pacific Northwest. It ran flawlessly for 1 1/2 years, but needed a little more power. It took a couple years to build the car, and its time to move to the next project.
