Today is exactly ONE year since I bought my e30

[kgb]

Its 1991 model, m40 manual and had around 440,000km on the clock when i got it, I had to spend around RM3-4K to be sure it runs well. That included new tires, bushes, belts, wheel bearings, some ball joints and other minor things. throughout the year , i´ve replced: alternator and aircond pipe. That is all. I´ve traveled around 40,000 this year. It has NEVER left me stranded. Traveled as far as Phucket and everywhere else in Malaysia, no issues whatsoever. Just wanted to share.

Unlike En.xcoolpc, i am just keeping my e30 running. no modifications so far, although few are planned. this helps to keep expenses low.
