Bump

Does anyone on here even have a set? I don't recall seeing any member photos with those beasts on...

You can't go wrong with genuine Alpina's at that price...

Someone re-set this guys post count for trolling

"E30 DET" Photoshop attempt. Wanted to visualize what this could potentially look like so whipped this together. Stock F/L drop look is really growing on me.

Did they not come in 4 door?

Ahhh crap , 9k is a damn solid offer. *looks under couch for a spare few grand*

Green? Like "Oxfordgruen Green"? I hear thats the best color for M3's... You should not settle for anything less to be honest

Boot lips rock! Clean yet aggressive all at the same time

Haha soz gaz, E30 is my passion at the moment. But yeh, I am spoiled for options now so just a matter of test driving the lot and see which is "the one". Maan lol, doing that photoshop mockup makes me want to build that car up so bad now.

Congrats man , those are some wicked clips... I miss that sound so much! I am sure you will be running some huge times once you get the R888's p.s. spoke to my boss today and we can go ahead with his Paypal so will get full quote for you tomorrow.

Are you suuuure... Before & After pics But yeh, I know what you guys are getting at with the engine. I had some bad experiences in the past when I was looking to buy a turbo. Drove several pulsar GTI-R's and they just felt like they struggled to get the power out. They were fast and everything but just not the same as the inline-6 (at the time I was comparing it to my mates GTS-4 skyline which was the same speed but just felt so much more effortless.

Don't worry Mark, I am considering all the angles. These engines produce more than enough power for an E30 shell and almost double what you can expected from a stock 325 so it's hardly as puny as you make it out to be He has done a really good job with the conversion and I have plenty of ideas into how I can make this car look the part. Main problem is the asking price, simply too high for me to justify taking on the project as it's not going to be cheap! But yeh, I promise whatever car I take on I will make sure to rep the Chch members well so you will have to just trust me ! Be damned if I let a crappy car wear the CRZARB plate!

This guy claims it had a factory LSD. Considering it's a 318i, I would assume the diff came open from factory? Well that is what I have read anyhow.. Wikpedia article Anyone confirm this?

Those rims are ridiculously awesome Simon... Gonna look sick azzzzz

Sorry man, they have been snagged by the Aussie. I will keep you posted anyhow, they are a great set of rims.

"Requiem of a dream" by Clint Mansel My all time favorite song

How much did yours go for man?

mmm, Gaz is running 200kw at the wheels... Pretty good for some light mods + dyno tune. Thats more than my old M3... alot more actually (I ran 175kw)! Kinda angry now.. whats up with that sh*t gaz Mind you, you have to boost the tits off them to get that sort of power. Won't last long on the track running that psi. Considering I have already bought some mags, did a quick photoshop to see how it would look on the DET. Even with a bland body, still looks pretty cool imo . Amazing what a nice set of rims can do.

Couple of my favorite. Note: I don't like some of the touches done on the blue one, however I love what he has done with the E36 kit all around... brilliant imo.

Whent and test drove the "E30DET" it's actually a sh*t load nicer in the flesh. The car is not mint and needs a fair bit of minor jobs to get it running properly. - No heater, he suspects it's something to do with the looming setup but seems to think it's no biggie to get done. - Engine stalls sometimes at low revs, apparently due to faulty BOV. - Did not really give the car a good kick but I can imagine it has the power. - Engine bay looks very well done and seems like he did a good job with the conversion. - Few electrics are a bit dodge, like you have to open up the driver door to work the passenger window lol. All in all it's a car that needs work but has huge potential. He seems to be firm on $8,500 and I am thinking a mint Tech-II will be the better buy considering all this car has going for it is the engine + cert. Bog standard 318 shell, with nice (but unsuitable) STI interior. If he is willing to budge on the price, it's definitely a big contender... I can just imagine how cool this car could be. The hunt continues!

Looks awesome mate, I am with Riley though. It's a tad too much for me (it sticking out that far). With some guard work... omg it's gonna be amazing!!

Another on the watch list. Selling so soon

It's a bit long but I wanted to squeeze in all my favorite photos of my old pride and joy and sync it with the song. Most of you probably would have seen a fair bit of the photos by now, but what the hey.
