Ace Of Spades

First thing we are planning on doing is actually working out a plan!

Know the feeling haha, tourings are my fav e30 by far.

They look amazing with some 16" and a little lows

My race car runs the E28 M30. Last dyno was at Gavins after a remap, and came up at 218rwhp. It has had the cam reground at Franklin Cams, no other mods. I had the head flowed, came back around 280hp, if I remember rightly.

Obviously turbo if you want best bang for buck, hope to get mine back on the track in a couple of years with this setup.

I have an e34 89 m30 (I think its the one with the lower compression) so turbo would be the way to go for cheep power?

Budget will be at a max for buying parts of a round 4k, hoping to do it a lil cheeper tho.

Have most of a turbo setup available, will only need to buy little things and dyno time.

Or full rebuild with a cam and head work?

Damit... new i should have gone and looked it, Any major plans for it?

Looks so clean!

awesome, cheers for the advise guys!..

few more q's

Whats the best places to buy said rockers from?

Who you recommended for head work?

Best place to buy gaskets nd stuff?

.........
Would my money be better spent on turbo setup with head studs and mls hg? or full rebuild with head work?

(Kinda little bit power hungry )

Starting to plan my m30 rebuild and need a few pointers .....

Does anyone know the safe max degrees a m30 camshaft can be with out getting aftermarket valves/springs? ( eg regrind)

Would the m30 benefit at all from cam/head work or would it just be best to rebuild it to stock spec? (going in an e30)

Any common problems with crank or bearings on a high km block? (245miles)

cheers

dam to slow... f**kn food always making you miss out..

By the sound it has to be a Ferrari..... maybe......maybe not.

either v10 r8 or 458

wow. tough. just the sound?

R8 V8.

Thought it might be that as well, but it doesnt sound deep enough imo

f360

Mark,

what side skids have you got?

any boot spoilers?

and any suspension setups?

steering wheels? eg mtech

Do the rx7 brake conversion for brakes and if you had the money go coilovers if ur gona track/slide it or just h&r with koni's or billy's.

Bump! really wanting an e28 or older fiver! or e30 for my motor and possible turbo setup.

Not interesed in FL e30 or anything newer than e30 e28..... wanting anything older!!!

burn them out??

Isnt it the same as some coilovers? eg use a flat head screwdriver to looesn the collar then unwind it? or am I high?

Dam i missed out on this I want to plan next time..

Could you pm me with more details and photos

Cheers

Worth every penny if not more.... Just such a small group of buyers out there its hard to find one, but as ray says one buyer will come along soon.

And if i could afford another loan

Hey lads and ladies

Looking for a clean rust free e30 shell, wanting pre facelift coupe or touring

Im planing on doing a engine swap so engine and gear box aren't necessary ... neither is a diff.

Ideally would be wanting a shell with most of the manual gear in it eg, pedalbox and master cylinder nd sh*t but not to fused.

Am willing to buy a full car (eg running and wofd) if it has all the bits i want and is mint condition on the out side... cbf painting it.

cheers

Will also add that if theres any e12 or e28 shells out there ... I WANT ONE

hes got some, dont know if he'd sell them tho

Thought about other possible enignes? engine swap?

If what every one says is true, y replace it with one that could possibly have the same issue 20kms down the road?

m5 engines are better and way cooler..... do it! ...

Also do you need the car? could you take time and rebuild it yourself and make it better?

Brent,

Would the swap work if you used an e34 large case and an e30 medium? eg e34 internals in e30

heheh, cheers, glad you like it. Where about's where you?

I was doing a rather long drive adjusting the gearbox settings, how it kicks down and how aggressive the shifts are. Ended up doing 100kms over half the city!

Was in basalt have a few beers, talking a bit of sh*t with a few of the boys... then all of a sudden i hear .. ... wow, conversation changed from who did u f**k last night to what the f**k was that hahaha, had to show them a few clips for them to believe me but man you should be proud of that magical sound!!

Saw Mike in the e36 v8, out in howick around 6ish, wow...... that exhaust note..... wow

I want I want I want I want
