A very nice purchase there Shawn...

Cheers, perfect for my needs and I've always wanted one. I didn't pay full price and it doesn't need a penny spending on it :smokin:

How does it compare as a drivers car?

Always loved the shape of the E30

Slower!! but it does need a valve adjustment and throttle body sync....it has a kind of vtec feel kick in at 5k+ though which is fun and it starts to sound good up at those revs... you do need to rev the tits off it to get it going but then it is surprisingly quick. It's got the feel of an older car without doubt but so much less hardcore and tiring (for me) than the csl. It can certainly be thrown about without the slightest hint of it's going to kill you. I attempted to take our 4 month old baby out in the csl a few times and he went truly mental. Yesterday we pulled up the OE rear window blind and went for a 3.5 hour drive in the E30 and he slept the whole time. Sad, but that's what's important for me at the moment...

I do miss the racket the csl made though :smt055
