You can use 92 octane fuel (minyak merah) and it will run happily. if you can afford the restoration and do a good job (10k should be able to cover most of the required work) i am sure you can afford the running cost, but beware if you trash the car around, your bill will shoot up. Also try to budget some money for the 'medicines' (as succintly described by wkwoo) that may be required from time to time. If the  16" wheels are for the E36 then it will not fit your E30. Sell it here to get some moolahs.  If youe are into drifting, you have come to the right place as we have some in-house sifus to show you the ropes.</blockquote>
