E30 Zone

Some nice shots while I was out this winter.

The issue you had is the transponder chip. You are right, it could be a dead chip. But the only way to know is scanning both the DME and the EWS for fault codes. The EWS will give you a very detailed error while the DME will only pass a basic error from the EWS. Or just have EWS removed from your DM...

A rather cool oppertunaty came up to purchase a brand new e30 m3 260kph speedo. I almost passed this up but a couple of things made sense. My speedo's odometer had just crapped out and stopped reading K's and new units dont come a long for this price very often. Big thanks to Dylan for this as dylan...

Some of the DTM cars are tweaked to 380.. The rebuild time on them however is after every race. Not too wise to do that these days seeing as parts are quite rare. This motor only really has a life of 5000ks before rebuild.

Was a lot of fun to film.

Conrad has just confirm his friend has now purchased its sister car, the 92 Steve Soper M3 DTM. It will be going through the same treatment.

Yeah was pretty much a case of fabricating a lot of things myself .. its not exactly strictly a road car anymore. More race car in road car trim. So things have cost alot more than first thought, mid 5 figures etc. But pretty much there now :) ahh good stuff on ya projects. Nice to see you have the ...

Hey will! ... pretty good mate, still truckin along .. finished the e30/s50b32 build (mostly

'92 E30 M3 DTM - Reborn A short film by Josh Purcell about the first outing of the Emanuele Pirro '92 E30 M3 DTM. Conrad Timms spent 3 years rebuilding the Team Bigazzi 'Warsteiner' '92 E30 M3 DTM back in Auckland, New Zealand. This film is its first race in over 13 years at the New Zealand Festiva...

Been working on the brakes recently to hunt out a few issue with over heating Changed out the pads to something a bit more race orientated and less best of both worlds Followed Ollies Gee's path and went with the V8 Super Car / NZv8 route. Performance Friction Pads http://i41.tinypic.com/2zxpfva.jpg...

Nothing too special .. but got a second set of race wheels and a supply of slicks. Wheels: BBS RX 17x8 et38 http://i41.tinypic.com/34oc45g.jpg Test fit on car http://i39.tinypic.com/vpj7lw.jpg Caliper Clearance for BBK http://i43.tinypic.com/122og77.jpg .. slick supply .. went halves with james http...

updates: So been a bit busy ordering some new stuff. New Oil housing with the elusive pressed in Oil Thermostat, yes you have to buy the whole housing just for this one bit. My old one is poked shut. http://i41.tinypic.com/2crrmgx.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/54ahwk.jpg And while im at it I installed ...

You can use the Fiat ones too however they weigh a bit more than these magneti marelli magnesium ones.

Seats and new oil cooler http://i55.tinypic.com/2nstn52.png http://i56.tinypic.com/21doc5i.png The stock BMW cooler was pissing me off so I replaced it with a big ass Earls oil cooler / lines (under number plate)...which extends up to the top of the bumper with the blue lines through the grill. Its ...

Correct .. I scored this from an original Warstiener DTM car. It weighs nothing.

On the quest for lower lap times decided to do something about the seats. Ill post what the new road seats will be later, theyre not quite done yet. Recaro SPG Race Shell Modified and lowered Recaro rails Recaro side brakets Willian 3 inch harnesses. This is before lowering. http://i53.tinypic.com/6...

Correct from an 92-94 e36 (mechanical switches) anything afterwards is a digital encoder / switch.

Hey guys, Here is a mag article that recently came out of my car. Few details in the mag are a little incorrect outside of my control so I have pasted my own corrected story too :) Also normally the car doesn’t sit this low for suspension geometry reasons. The car has had a few more things done to i...

Some additions. I was very suprised how light these all were. Front strut brace, rear strut brace and under body chassie brace. http://i55.tinypic.com/2drfdhx.jpg Front strut brace installed. It cleared the s50 perfectly and more importantly the brake fluid well. http://i55.tinypic.com/t0otv4.jpg ht...

Slicks are fun ...
Now to get use to their limits.

Which will allow me to have the car certed. Yay. My spare set of LMs w...

So today thanks to Ray @ Hellbm (http://www.hellbm.com) converted my horrible e30 window switches to then nice 'click' feel of the e36 switches. I first tried some green base switches which as I found out dont work. This is because the later model switches are infact digital encoder switches and onl...

New 2ltr alloy surge tank. Complete with base plate. I looked into getting one with AN fittings however the price of running 4 x fuel lines went up quite a bit. The AN oil line was around $450
