drifty325i 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Allo allo, Quick heads up the beast from the east/west will be up for sale, ive been offered a job in the UK i cannot refuse and as most of you know ive been wanting to go for a long time. Ill be over there for at least five years so it’s not practical for me to store it even though I will actually hate my self for selling it. I never thought id actually sell this car, ive finally finished building my dream e30 and ive enjoyed driving it so much, its something quite special i think. There are other e30s out there that are fast, some look good, some feel good and some handle, but I think E30V8 combines all of these exceptionally well. Id like to think it would be in the top ten e30s in NZ? Well id hope so for how much time and money ive spent on it haha. I know it would easily be in the top 5 fastest road e30s in NZ It certainly stirs the emotions of the people who have driven it, been in it and been left behind it at the track, and most important it makes a noise that’s just so so right (one of the things I love most) the custom extractors really do make an amazing difference to the sound and power curve Ive been fairly fortunate and driven a lot of cars in my time, im not talking just modified cars, im talking 500k plus AMG Mercedes and Ferrari's and various other high end models and race cars on the track and on the road and this one really stands out with the best of them....its that much fun!! Yes it comes with the sexy Keskins and very good T1R rubber. And yes the plates if the price is right No ACS wheels or brace Few quick details for those who are new, its a late model black top high compression 1uzfe Lexus v8, was dynoed at 280 rear wheel horsepower!!! (More than enough). Will do 550km+ to a 55lt tank easy The engine has stunning hand made extractors, G3 link computer, custom airbox and intake, 5 puck ceramic clutch, Rebuilt shortshifted upgraded and dove tailed w55 5speed box ($$$$ and awesome), massive race radiator , all new Toyota bolt on stuff like waterpumps, plugs pulleys etc, No expense spared always run on Mobil 1. Engine has 57kms now, cars done about 168km from memory (cars in chch im in aucks) All certed! other upgrades i can think of are upgraded and rebuilt 3.24LSD, upgraded diff support to handle the TQ, 16x9 Keskin wheels with mega rare gold centers from Germany and the standard ones, Gen ACS Front and side kits,Pro 35% tints, Modified MTECH rear kit and wing, adjustable rear whiteline sway, 25mm front whiteline sway, New top of the line Ground control Camber/castor tops, custom KYB sport shocks, custom springs from Chamberlains, full nothane bushes everywhere, adjustable rear camber/caster bushes, front m3 offset castor bushes, New high performance pads, Zionelli S12 heat treated rotors, Full 6line Goodridge Braided lines, Mega rare 1 off bucket seats, awesome Pioneer sounds etc and heaps more because ive actually tried to forget how much ive spent haha Oh year. 500hp walbro fuel pump, nice steering wheel....mmm still thinking of things 99% of people could not build this car for under 28k in my opinion Just had some touch up done paint wise, repainted side skirt and full rear 1/4 panel, the paint is bloody good as some of you will attests to If you are genuinely interested in the car please PM me with an offer or call, im happy to answer any questions To give you an idea of what I expect for it .....its been valued at over 20k..... it wont go onto Trademe until the experts at Autotec have replaced the HG, and pretty much rebuilt the top end with no expense spared and rebuilt the brake booster so time is ticking, Im not in a hurry to sell, I don’t need to as such, I want it to go to a good home, the car will be all good to be driven in a month or so I will not be leaving the BMW community or Bimmersport as it sounds as though im getting a new 3 series company car Cheers Riley Edited February 27, 2010 by Riley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have personally done a lot of suspension work on this and have assisted Riley in nearly everything once the basic conversion was completed. The car is living at my place in North Canterbury CHCH so if you want to view it during re assembly or would like to request specific photo's of things you can't normally see hit me up with a PM Having recently dismantled most of the car as shown in my topic I am probably the most up to date on any technical aspect of this vehicle again feel free to hit me up via pm or give me a call on 021 022 856 77 you won't drive a better car for under 50K boys, and if you do have 50k worth of car I can guarantee it won't make you smile as much as this one does and with the recent radiator upgrade and some freshening up of the head gaskets and valves, rebuilt gearbox, rebuilt diff, mint exterior and the hottest wheels all you have to do is drive it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
