Hey, So as previously mentioned in the intro page I'm building an E30 coupe rally car. Basically turning this... Into this... Some of you will notice what I based the livery off. The aim is to have a car that looks like a gravel spec M3, unfortunately without the $$$$$s14. Engine wise, I was hoping to get my hands on a S50b32, but might settle on going down the M52 route for a start so I can get the car running sooner. It will be running a 5 stud conversion with group4 escort bilstein coilovers in the rear, with hybrid group4 escort/E36 front coilovers. I have most off these bits, just a few little bits to finish them off. Brakes are from a R33 Gtst skyline, basically the biggest brakes I could get to fit inside a 15" rim, apart from going to APs etc. And today some M3 panels arrived... I'm going down the steel panel route due to gravel destroying fibreglass. Finding the bits will take awhile, but I'm set on doing it. The car is stripped right out, ready to go onto the rotisserie to start stripping the underseal off, and cage build.

Orewa @ 2pm this afternoon in HELLM3 : 33.5 C.

Have air con good enough to give you frostbite. Obviously that`s the temp outside haha

Here it is running some other wheels, Commodore Clubsport 17x8 ET35 wheels, and BBS DTM 18x8.5 ET13 wheels. Got the BBS wheels running but rear would rub under hard cornering and I got fed up with the smell of burning rubber everytime I left a carpark. It's now on M-Parallel replicas, 18x8.5 ET30, rub-free driving finally!

Yay someone bought I car I posted It's a good looking wagon. I got new window rubber from Pelican Parts for my M5 if that helps...

Some little car park dents, window rubbers cracked, air con controls dicky, and a leaking rear shock... not that it matters now as sold

E30 prices are getting ridiculous, just buy an E36 and enjoy the fact that its a better car for less money.

Had to buy this because my 4 bmws might break and I need a reliable daily... um

Have also been playing round with a couple of ideas for pedal boxes as the wilwood floor mount won't fit by my measurements and the others are too expensive. So have thrown this together on my architectural software, and some ideas around a short shifter, and even a hydro handbrake.
