E30 Race Car - Jim Richard's JPS M3 Tribute.
Mr Vapour replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in Projects
A friend of a friend up here has done a similar thing. Car was hail damaged insurance paid for the new panels and it was not much different for the m3 parts. He has it all on but is still some time from finishing it -
I have a multi-function machine from boc. IT has a mig torch, tig torch and a arc torch. I have only used it on mig so far and it works well. Cost me a grand. it will not tig alloy. this unit will not allow adjustment of the wire speed, just the volts. some find this hard to use, but i dont know any better so its not an issue for me. Paid a grand for it directly from BOC. You will also need a helmet, gloves, clamps and magnets flap wheels and stuff. Leave about 3-350 to get started with this, and a 15a plug in teh wall. Check what the shed is wired with. IF you have 2.5tps tile it should then just buy a plug from bunnings and swap it over. i have made gates and modded my sub frame. When i start my body repairs i will put out the tig and learn how to use that also. there are other machines out there but i chose teh BOC unit as boc will keep spares for many years. Most of the units in the price bracket are made in china and i had concerns regarding parts long term. Also look at bunnings for the coregas swap a bottle scheme. Cheaper than BOC. 190 deposit(refundable if you take it back) on the bottle and about 120 per bottle on a swap basis after that.

Doing a m5x swap is not a massive amount of work. Basically Google will be your friend. They are basically the same as swapping in a motor in a e30. So search e30 swaps. It has has had some playing with in the past. It should have mechanical injection. It may have a m20 out of a later car with motech or it could have been retro fitted to the original 323 motor. Impossible to tell with out a lot of looking and numbers.

Have you ever been out and runamuck in this?

I thought there was a 90 day thing when buying from a dealer. There is a whole section to consumer last regarding car dealer it's worth looking it.up.

May i ask why you went with the Getrag 220 not the ZF?

Got it out of the shed yesterday. I'm using early e24/e12 front hubs. The bearings are the same as the 323 bearings so direct fit. I had to machine the hub centre down about 1.2 mm. This allowed me to fit commodore discs. Giving me about 41mm more disc. The Holden caliper is also bolt on so major upgrade. The rear is e28 subframe shortened to fit. and e34 arms.
-
Finished bolting in the front end for the mock up of the 5stud / commodore brake upgrade.

I think I have a set of calipers, discs and hubs for them. Got from pickapart thinking it was a e21. You can have them for what I paid for them. 40 bucks

That silver one looks like a good buy. Looks to.have the full bbs kit. And last owner for 20 years!! If it's been kept inside( it looks like it has) then it should be a good solid example. They done co.e up like that very often!!
-
Both will be 250. Blasted ready to go.
-
I also have intake manifolds off of b25 and b27. This can also be blasted to match.
-
Got this out of my box of spares. Fully vapour blasted so looking like new I'm going to $$90 ? Thanks Location in Papatoetoe.

100% will look amazing with a little work. Well worth the 300 bucks. I have a Vapour blaster and polishing equipment so Will just be a bit of time. The lips will need all need a machine to remove some curb rash, but look good.otherwise.

These are now in my boot. Tyres are all different one is good the others are all stuffed. Yep they need a bit.of work but nothing I can't handle. There will replace the TSW hockienhimes that were stolen from my back yard a few months ago.

Cleaning the engine without Inlet manifold on?
Mr Vapour replied to modz's topic in General Discussion
Just cover the intake ports with duct tape/100mph tape. If you want to.get real fanatic about it make up some blanking.plated out of perspex and use intake mounting points to bolt down. -
