e30_capri 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2010 Hey man Well done mate, you've done a bloody awesome job and its all legal and legit just got to avoid the attention of the power trippn coppers that lurk around re: your wheels, dont get me wrong there are some gc coppers round but it seems they are getting few and far between. Anyways, back on topic, kudos mate, i'm extremely envious of your determination and persiverance (spelling?!!!) and the result looks a million bucks dude. I havent been on here for months because i couldnt be bothered with the bs that was going on but lets not stir that one again. Seeing this on here made it worth it. Cheers man, happy driving might catch you one day in Ham's or maybe even in tauranga if you ever venture that way lol. Pete. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 Managed to get the old camera going now which is way better. Gave it a clean yesterday for the first time, comes up pretty shiney , took some shots this morn. Photo taking skills suck I know, makes it harder being on a sloped driveway lul.

CamB 48 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 Looks awesome. Not the crappiest E30 in the Hawkes Bay any more (or whatever it was the cop told you)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 The washer bottle is a smaller one from a ford that I have hid behind the bumper/valance. Just looks alot cleaner in the engine bay, also more room for a turbo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 Is that the light reflecting weirdly off your front right wheel arch or is it damaged? Looks soo mean anyway how much ground clearance you got? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 Is that the light reflecting weirdly off your front right wheel arch or is it damaged? Looks soo mean anyway how much ground clearance you got? yeah it is farkd. It was semi good before I got a mate to paint it (was damaged quite bad), but the 16's with big tyres I borrowed off mark munched it up abit more so it's a lil more noticeable now haha. The keskins have a bit of gap between guard and tyre so they don't rub at all. Clearance at front valance 80mm Sump 58-60mm roughly Front chassis 85mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted April 30, 2010 love it! .. well done! Now just do what I'm doing and replacing every bottle or old looking thing in the engine bay with new items. Its actually not that expensive to do would you beleive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIR E30 68 Report post Posted April 30, 2010 sh*t thats hot mate! Looks so good.. Is there any more low available in those front coilovers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted April 30, 2010 Sht hot. Good looking car that, like the wheels! How does the 24v compare to a regular E30 325i in straight line performance?? Gains vs Cost/time?? The biggest advantage is see is that the M50’s don’t have that old Scholl lifter noise that M20’s have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) Lets just say the fronts are on the highest they can go haha, maybe one or two winds down.. But It can go down alot there is about 3" of adjuster to wind down on. I had it level tyre (which is about 4 winds down where it is now) to guard and the sump was barely 3 fingers wide of the ground (45-50mm). I can drop the back another 10mm. All I have had in an e30 is a m20b20 - this OWNS it. m20 2.7 stroker - TBH I can't remember, but I kind of think the 2.7 was more rev happy? But overall I'm real happy with it. Sounds mean. Goes very well at any rpm just takes off when you put the foot down. No funny ticks and weird engine noises like an m20 Only thing I hate is having a lightweight flywheel and keeping the F1 stage 3 heavy duty clutch (6puk disc ad heavy duty plate). It's near impossible to town drive with start stop taking off steadily without hoping and getting the jitters! Having windows tinted next thursday too, probably gonna pickup some smoked front indicators too. Edited April 30, 2010 by e30ftw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
