e30guydownunder 2 Report post Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Gday Guys, e30guydownunder (Chris) checking in here. I'm from Australia in case you didn't pickup. I currently have 2 E30's in my possession. A 1990 318iS as a daily: It steadily gets mods, but the money spent on it severely reduced when i picked up this: The car started life as a 1987 325i and came to me as a rolling shell. I put the spare 318iS mechanicls I had lying around in it, replaced the rusty bonnet and boot with the black ones I had and sprayed the roof black to match after I deleted the sunroof. Caged it out and put some suspension in it. So now it is the only 1987 318iS in existence I'm fairly certain. I'm currently in the process of turboing the baby M42 and will be rebuilding it ready for a diet of much boost and E85. I finally joined the forum after seeing westy's bastard child "Alice". The amount of effort he is putting into that car is insane and I think the result will be very much worth it. A modern, creature comforts E30, can't go wrong. Anyway thats the intro, I'll have a plod around and start my project thread in due time Edited December 14, 2009 by e30guydownunder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted December 14, 2009 Gday Guys, I finally joined the forum after seeing westy's bastard child "Alice". The amount of effort he is putting into that car is insane and I think the result will be very much worth it. A modern, creature comforts E30, can't go wrong. Thanks! I've seen your build around. Lotsa good work going on there. 318is turbos' are damn fun, I'm sure you'll enjoy yours. Welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30guydownunder 2 Report post Posted December 14, 2009 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. And yup same username on all the forums, makes life easy. I got nothing to hide The roady is pretty good but far from perfect, it has been a long hard slog...battling the typical electrical bugs at the moment. Central Locking is a bit tempermental and had an alternator die a couple of weeks ago. I have some Simmons B45's tucked up under the house awaiting a coat of paint and some wider outer lips, but other than the wheels I just want to tidy the road car up more. Oh and the roof racks...gotta have somewhere to put the bike. The race car is certainly fun. Its great being faster round the tracks than guys spending more money on tyres than I have the whole car. Currently the straights are whats holding me back on track, even stripped out 95hp has trouble getting an E30 to accelerate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
