Been on the site long enough so thought i would put up my car.
Its a E30 bmw 325i
2.5 ltr engine inline 6 ment to be about 170bhp but after the rolling road its only 164 with 144lbs
Its got a custom zorst with a golf gti backbox and is lower by 60mm on springs only.Wheels are 17" alpine lookalike's has eyebrows and tinted windows. On the inside its got cobre bucket seats will have pics soon and thats it really its going to be modded heavly this year though hope the pics i have come ut any comments or sugestions on what to do would be great cheers.
Sorry about hte spellin bit thick me at times.
its a lovely car that mate, shudnt be dissapointed with the power as its high enough to put a smile on ya face isnt it?
Looks nice as it is mate but if ur stuck for ideas i think dampers are needed to stiffen the handling a lot more, and some sort of spoiler as that is one biiiig bootlid and the current one is a bit weedy.
Keep us updated dude
Id love an e30 like that. Hows the insurance on one of those things?
nice one for getting some pics up
looks mint, i think it looks great as it stands now, de-badge maybe just for the sleeper effect
what you gonna do about the engine mounts?
Insurance is group 17 i think i am paying £1100 with tesco but i have been banned for speeding so i think thats a good price.
Adam going to change all the mounts engine and box to be on the safeside think my driving has a lot to do with the state of the mounts as for de-badgein it was thinking of putting 316 on the back but keeping the bm badges.
Just been to an airfield day with my car (sunday13th march)
www.javelintrackdays.co.uk was such a good day learnt a few new things about my car things like what to do when you spin out at 80mph and how not try and race a bmw csl.
The day started well had the saftey breif sorted the car then went round on a 3lap learning drive to get to know the course let my mate chris bmw m3evo tack the car out 1st then had my go 3laps in and span out all the lights on the dash came on and i rememberd what stumac tld me so brought it into the pits were there was water pissin everywere opened the bonnet had a look round and chris found i had snapped a fanbelt. Had thought of everything apart from that took 10wheels oil water tools but no fan belt took 2hrs to change gutted.
THANXS CHRIS
trackdays are great if you get the chance take your car on one just make sure you take tyres.
NEED MORE POWER anybody have any ideas what i sould do. I have a K&N panel filtyer and a custom zorst.
Not sure how BMWs like theyre power or what is available for them mate but a de-cat would definately help and a chip if u can get one,Cams??
Hasnt got a cat was thinking of a cam and going to get a viperchip end of june lookin for a 525i engine cos they are 192bhp and strong so puttin a turbo on it wouldnt brake the bank but wouldnt know who to go to for it.
love it mate

Yep only lookalike ones though but they are spot on you gettin a bm then?

sweet tupac i love this car its so low i its great nice pics to
Cool just been on the javelin website and found some good pics of my car need to do some suspension work i think any ideas
Tupac,
Try
www.e30zone.co.uk, I got a copied BMW Motorsport chip for less than £50 from someone on there when I had mine
Dead easy to swap as the ECU is already socketed
I also left the 320 FPR on for a bit as it allowed a higher fuel pressure on the rail, went great on full throttle, but was a little lumpy at idle and when poodling round
Just finished putting my ice back in the car. Its just put in quick untill Aceritz makes my install.
Just need to put the backseats in again
Oh forgot to mention found a spoiler its of a 2002 bm there a little old but not many e30's have got this spoiler on what do you think?
only £70 cheers stumac its off a lad on e30 zone
My dad used to have a BMW 325IS with a shadowline conversion kt on it, that was first real fast car that I ever went in, still have fond memories of beamers, I have seen yours about mate and always thought its a lovely car,

Been looking at a few mods for my car after june i will have about £100 a month to spend on my car so going to start on the handling anybody know anygood cheap suspension kits. Also i know its a long way off but after xmas all my depts are gone so will have a lot of cash everymonth to spend on my car so it will be sweet any ideas what i should do. Spoke to ben at AC Motorsports (its a bm tunning shop) and a turbo con is £4800 and would give my 250bhp anybody know i cheaper way to turbo my car. Read in a modding bm mag for £3000 i could get a m50 engine (525i) converted to turbo but would have to send my engine to Norway which would cost a bit and take about 6months.
LSD's can be had for about £100 matey
Been lookin stu only ones i have seen are about £200 to £250. Are the easy to fit?
I got mine from a scrap yard on Cleveland Street
Paid £100 cash for it. Theres about 8 torque bolts per drive shaft, and 4 or 5 bolts that hold the actual diff to the floor of the car. Had to bodge the electrical connections on the back, but never had any problems, just covered the connections in silicon and never had any problems with it
I am getting some mad backlights and a mono brow made up for my car (top and bottom) should be the only car in the country with both these mods will be on the car sometime injune i hope will keep ya posted
gr8 news pal. lights r soundin gud from what ur sayyin. right on my sister
Having just been with ya tupac matey i can now safely say! "i want one of them zimma's"
That was amazing mate. Fastest thing ive ever been in and the fastest ive driven meself. Unlucky about ur tire fella. Deffo get them front arches flared/rolled mate or it will happen again.Dampers will stop such drastic dippin of the sides mate. Sweet as pimpmobiles get mate!!
Top marks for the antics today Tupac matey, looked awesome
Wish i had a proper go of it ... but my confidence aint exactly what it used to be, so felt a little awkward heheh. Thanks anyway, brilliant car there matey, hope you get that wheel sorted too
Cheers guys tyre went straight up no probs just lookin for somwere to get the arches rolled. I am going to raise the ride height anyway just once i have got my girlfriends b/day out the way then i will have cash to spend.

Thinking of selling my ride anybody want it. I may be swapping it dont know yet i am at the point were i dont know if i like the car anymore. Want rwd though if i do get rid.
The zorst has had it thought it would be good to fall off on tesco's roundabout on friday. Must be somthing about that roundabout that my car doesnt like cos i span out there a couple of weeks ago at 20mph yes 20mph
