adz 50 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Hey guys, Have been lurking around for a while, but have now started what will be a long and slow project. I've got 2 e30 coupe shells, one a 323 that I'm stripping out to build a M3 replica rally car, but the choice of engine might upset a few purists. More on that later At this stage all we've stripped all the interior minus the dash out, pulled the engine and gearbox out, which is for sale if anyone wants a M20b23 with a manual box. Just working on researching brakes/suspension options. At this stage I'm looking at Escort Group 4 coilovers all corners, which will mean reinforcing the rear turrets and rear trailing arms. I'll start up a project thread once I get some better photos sorted. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adz 50 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Yip, unfortunately an s14 is out of my budget, so the next revvy option is a f20c. Heaps of power standard for gravel, mated with a nice 6 speed box should be the go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adz 50 Report post Posted September 2, 2014 Ha yeah good effort on the guess. There's a company in the states that do a full cross over kit. You get the modified cross member, sump, engine mounts and other bits so the Honda engine pretty much bolts straight in. They also do a kit for a 2002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
