i would leave the rad out until you have the engine fitted in, espically one as masssive as an m30. its too dangerous to try putting the lump in with it there as 1 slip an inch in the wrong direction and its through your rad. like a wrecking ball man trying to knock the dwelling and keep the glassho...

let the research and sourcing commence!

thats great info, that would nearly solve all my problems as then i could put the engine good and far back into the bulkhead where i want it and also it will be giving more bonnet clearance at the front. the height issue shouldnt be too much of a concern as the escort wings are quiet high and the bo...

never seen or heard of a straight six escort, for the simple reason it wont fit. well yes any thing can fit but you would have to have at least 2 cylinders under the dash to get any sort of weight distrbution. it seems like money is not a limiting factor so either a 2.4 millington or a built redtop ...

has anyone ever seen or heard of an m30 fitted to an e36? before you reckon i am actually fitting it to an e36 it is actually intended to fit in a rwd converted 95 escort with a e36 front end and subframe setup. from visually sizing it up it looks like the front mount sump will cause the most obstru...

i am doing the same thing very soon on my touring. i am planning 8.5 x16 on the front and 9.5x15 on the rear. some arch rolling and mild flaring will be needed on the rear Hey Dude, Do I know you? I can't think of any red tourings around Cork? Do you know if the rear arches definitely need modifica...

Yell.com blowing things out of proportion perhaps?

comopletly irrelivant to e30s so..

great result, well done

bet it sounds sweet

1 wheeling wrongness

still a good burnout, the wind was just right

Ford sierras are worthless sh** these are ideal for welding the diff on. and 316 e30s are highly valued prestige cars that you couldnt weld a diff on because they are a vehicle of such calibre :roll: A come on now Alan! A 316i is still a better car than a clapped out 1.6 sierra! :D Some Sierras lik...

So, in summary: Anyone who doesn't have a welded diff is a flat cap wearing, pipe smoking buffty who spends his (long, lonely) afternoons poking a cotton bud into the crevices of his 15" BBS wheels and polishing the RAC badge on his chromed kidney grills while muttering about "youths" under his bre...

I think he wants to know how to bast*#dise an E30 and make it as unreliable as the car the aforementioned engine was rescued from.

yeah but also make it as fast as that aformentioned donor

If the car doesnt live up to expectation, and cant be brought up to expectation.. then ill buy / build one that can

very well said

ive worked on a few e30s with the fiberglass kit and they were all terrible. the bad fit and finish will far outweigh the few hundred you save on a geniuine one. and if the cars any way lowered and you hit the front off of something (which you will) its all over for the front part

my indicator on my sport is doing the exact same thing! let me know if you fix it so i can too

hey karl, how are things!? we met at gatebil- alan and dave from ireland! your car is looking fantastic, even better in the flesh. that was a brilliant weekend and inspiration enough for me to keep my '25 and make it something special. hitting 10sec's sounds unreal in your car, how is she going sinc...

go six cylinder anyway lad, youll need the torque for all the hills around here

i was told before that if your viscous coupling fan is any way bad then if you do donuts in a certain direction like clockwise that the fan will stop rotating, dunno if its bolox cos how would anyone see whats going on under the bonnet when theyre donuting :wink: but you can imagine the scene, young...
