bmuu 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 heres my 87 325i coupe i picked up about 5 months ago i now have a car work supplies so the e30 has been in the shed the last 3 months over these few months i have been contemplating what to do the e30. do i sell her? strip it out cage it and dedicate it to the track only? put a big stereo in and big wheels and use it to lap up town on the weekends? or leave her as is and take her for a drive from time to time? ive decided to build an all-rounder. a comfortable car to cruise in but quick around the track. mods so far are: lowered springs full zender kit k&n cone filter centre muffler taken out sony cd/mp3/dvd headunit (screen yet to come) momo gear knob manual conversion short shift kit 17in alpina replica wheels are still to come whiteline front strut brace still to come eagle leads and iridium plugs still to come nolathane bushes still to come minor body work still to come interior gauges in dash vents still to come heres some pics. ill update when more work is done. in the mean time whats your thoughts and suggestions?

Forrest 35 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Looking nice man! I say all it needs is, euro plates, a 325i rear badge, a new front drivers seat and a airbox Edited December 27, 2008 by Forrest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmuu 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 yeh a cold air box is on the cards not alot of room with that abs pump tho i was thinking i would eventually do away with the front seats in favour of some reclinable buckets. the factory seats just dont hug you tight enough and everyone needs a good hug espeshaly on the track Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drifty325i 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 No spolier would look a little cleaner,red the rear brake lights and take that 318 badge off as well. You have a fantastic base to start from i like it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 I've seen a few cars with the centre vents removed to make way for extra gauges, does this mean the air con/heating is rendered ineffective? There's many E30s with extra gauges mounted above the ashtray, which seems to be a better place, perhaps consider that if you want it to be a comfortable every day car! Otherwise looking good...

bmuu 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 my e30 doesnt have aircon and the heater only seems to work when it is venting from the bottom of the dash by the driver and passengers feet so its not a big concern. im considering using the space above the ashtry for my dvd screen. dont know if its going to work yet tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
