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?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Tupac : BMW E30 325i - 19th Mar 2005 10:34am
nice one for getting some pics up smile

looks mint, i think it looks great as it stands now, de-badge maybe just for the sleeper effect laugh

what you gonna do about the engine mounts?
Posted By: spinking Re: Tupac : BMW E30 325i - 19th Mar 2005 12:29pm
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.

[Linked Image]


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

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 smile Dead easy to swap as the ECU is already socketed smile

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 frown

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 wink

Been lookin stu only ones i have seen are about £200 to £250. Are the easy to fit?
Posted By: StuyMac Re: Tupac : BMW E30 325i - 30th Mar 2005 4:05pm
I got mine from a scrap yard on Cleveland Street smile

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 laugh
