Just pick this up a couple of days ago


PO did an awesome job to get it where its at now. Bunch of suspension mods and a few other goodies. I come from a variety of cars. Within the last couple of years I've gone through a few cars. '07 wrx wagon>Volvo 245>E39 M5>NA Miata>'91 Volvo 745 turbo.

My 745 has been my DD up until recently my T-5 transmission (manual swap) has been acting up. The turbo (15g) has been smoking badly. So while this is being worked on I needed another DD. I sold my mx5 two weeks ago so I was looking for something asap. I've always loved the R53 and this clean example popped up in my search.

I couldn't be happier. This car is an absolute blast. Ironically, I won a mini tool box at a work seminar. My co-workers were dying, haha.

Work in Progress

 

Nice looking car for sure

 

how was your M5? I really wanna pick one up before the prices skyrocket

 

It was an awesome car.

It never stop pulling through the power band. I sold it with 89k and was a very clean example. Not quite sure why I sold it. I have two little young ones with a third on the way. I would find dried up milk and crackers in the seats and it would make me cringe. I loved it but needed something a little more practical. Plus there was the rod bearing and chain slap issues that worried me on constant basis. I'm glad I can say I've owned one.

 

Great find, she looks great! Gotta love to tool box! Welcome to NAM!

Love my R53, too. How many miles on yours?

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

 

Thanks MM. Pick this one up with 39k.
