Hey everyone, I'm Nick, 19, live in Raleigh. I learned about this forum from some people on ECMotorsports.com . I don't have a car now, but I'm in the market for a 4-door E30 (running or shell). I'm here to learn as much as possible.

Hey man,

I met a guy and girl at Farmington one night that mentioned EC to me. I have an '87 325e/4/5spd cinnibar/tan that will be FS in the near future. PM me if interested; I'm in Winston-Salem.

Seeing as there's one here already, I'm also new to the forum. I'm down in jacksonville, nc. I'm also wondering if there's anyone down around me or in the wilmington area.

haven't posted in a while. I've got my 318i, its ugly (for now). I've decided to swap in the M20 (super eta), and some kind of forced induction. Haven't decided on a turbo or S/C setup yet. Here's some pics:

Well, I'll be grabbing an M50 block from someone locally sometime this weekend.....

lol everything else :P I'm looking to do a stroker w/ S50 crank, rods, and pistons. I'm pretty much starting from nothing and building it how I want.
