^ You win Cam, On second thought I have kinda had a change of heart, did some maths, not financially viable but have plenty of subtle tweaks lined up of which will cross many borders in terms of budget performance and general turbo eating Q-shipness.

M30

Light Blue E36 323i Motorsport/Motorsport Optioned, always see you around Whitby/Haywards here in Wellington, BS sticker on the rear window, looking sweet. Followed you once on the motorway in my rice burner

Edit: Merged showroom and project threads Well as one project comes to an abrupt end, another starts. As many of you would have followed my 'Road Legal Race Car On A Budget' project and how I managed to write the car off literally about a month after having it legal on the road again and 95% completed. There is a brightside. Dad has come to the party and decided to help me out and buy something a little more able and comfortable for me to drive, one of which I don't spend weeks and weeks under on axle stands. I want to move out of home next year, so this won't be a full blown race car, just somewhat of a 'jack of all trades' that can handle daily driving, a little B-road thrashing and some track days. Ideally my criteria was; a E30, 6 cylinder, coupe and of course manual. Well I found the opportunity to purchase this car, and subsequently did so here is in a old for sale thread: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....p;hl=325i+drift I have since found out before Dan (Driftit) owning it, another member Togate (I think) owned it before him so atleast it will stay in the Bimmersport family. So the basic idea of this car of the interior and exterior is to keep keeping the classic E30 lines and looks, with some subtle tweaks to the interior and exterior to make it my own (read: Q-ship/Stealthy). The car has plenty of suspension, brake, driveline and engine modifications so I won't need to do a lot, but plenty of hot modifications will make it across from the race car to the new car. I want to give people that feeling WTF was that as I drive by, becoming a blur into the distance. Hence the crossing borders (harmonious mix of race car and road car with a dab of JDM + GDM + Kiwi modification style thrown in for good measure) thread title. In the summer I already have plans for a 2.8 M20 Stroker/2.5 M50 as the engine will need a bit of a freshen by then but will see how the bank balance looks as we go along along with many other sweet plans So the deal is done, am flying up to Auckland on Wednesday this week (touchwood) to pick it up and drive it home Pics to come in due course. Let the games begin, and let the 'Green Machine' be unleashed - Nathan

^ Mine broke...most facelifts by now are old and the die pretty easily

Don't give up now mate, remember if it was easy, everyone would do it Keep it up bro.

Is it a non vanos m50 in that 93 325i Brent?

Needs new rings = engine rebuild = $$$$ = the reason why I didn't buy it or I wouldv'e looked at it

Have you seen the s50 for sale on ebay

^ I agree, the red gets washed out a bit in the silver

I am going to say dislike. Maybe if the body stripes were gone it would look better, but worth a test I guess.

Pretty sure the guys budget was 5k....and people throwing it out 200k cars...how awesome is this haha.

I was just bout to post this too lol. Pretty sad.

I'm 19/20, one small accident I had to claim on....just got a quote for my new e30 325i...250 ish 3rd party cover through AMI. I am sure they will it will just be a bit expensive. Just keep your head down and don't hit anything haha.

^ Cheers G. I want one also, maybe I wait till your ready bravo, and then Freemo can make two at once instead of mucking around twice?

^ Can you take this joint off with the gearbox still bolted in the car? Cheers, I could be keen on getting one made up

replacement center caps = 44us on ebay each + shipping = high roller status

Just do it Ryan, you can realise your dream of being a 80's porn star

Steal E30ONP's BBS RS's and drop them off at a depot in Auckland for me

I found this site the most helpful in my search: http://www.e30.de/335i/00.htm

Creaver has a manual box for sale in the FS Forum. Wants like 800/900 for it. I <3 m30's. If I had more time, money and space I would do it. Good luck man

I see they have been pulled from sponsoring the 'appearance' forum also

Click the little arrows on the top right hand corner of the textbox (across from where you change the font etc) when your writing and it will give you more space to write? Or did I read that wrong.

Welcome to Bimmersport mate. You will have a blast on here. Nice colored car

Bump..someone with a 4 cylinder buy my springs...pretty flexible on price just want em gone. See first post
