E30 Zone

Dr fly, you seem possesed with the idea of putting a 330d engine into your e30, now you want all the safety features of amodern BMW An e30 will always be what it is, a 30 year old car which is now becoming a "hobby" car for most people. I'm all for modifactions and improvements but what are you actu...

The ZM arms do fit, but they also widen the track. I can not recall specifics numbers of hand, but what i do recall is that on an e30 M3 and using an et25 you are limited to 8" wheels to clear the arch lip with ZM arms. Whats your arch clearance like now ? If the tyre is close to the arch lip now, w...

A rose joint on the top mount does not mean its fully rose jointed Rose jointed adjustable rear arms, where they join to the beam to adjust your camber and tow is whats being dicussed here. I do beive H&R coilover use bilstein shocks, but an other an option is to convert your front to a coilovers am...

I think the conversion had neared 350bhp, i do also remeber the white one in Total BMW magazine form a few years ago.

The investment in Northern Rock is not too bad ...at least we are getting a decent rate of return from the investment..not like the billions we lost when gordon sold the gold ($250/oz..then $1000 now) I agree about the gold, thats one investment the government should have hold on to, but in regards...

UK has got so much money it's unbelieveable Has it ?? As it stands the government keeps borrowing because it has nothing left in the bank. It has invested 3.3 billion in Afghanistan and Iraq to achive NOTHING. It should concentrate and invest on our own domestic concerns and problems before investi...

One thing that seems to have been swept under the carpet, is the fact that the public didn't actually vote for Gordon Brown to be Prime Minister. He just took the reigns and kept on cracking the whip. That's not been swept under the carpet at all. The public didn't vote for Tony Blair, John Major o...

There is a 30bhp gain to be found from a head and cam, cost depends on where you go to get it done. Expect to pay Ã‚£1500 if you include NEW OE rockers, uprated valve springs etc with larger valves, have the head work done, and a suitable cam. Obviously the ECU will need adjusting, but the gain is ...

Depending on what you want it do, the price can quite easily get expensive when involved in motorsport. The S42 is a "motorsport" engine

1an , are you still going to buld the m20 you were speaking about before ?? Any thoughts in what direction you will go with it ?

Atoms are curerently 245bhp with out a supercharger, using a Honda V tec engine, 300bhp with a 'charger To actually think any road e30 could "nail" one is an amusing thought, do you actually belive it was being driven to its potential or even at 80% of what it can do ? Maybe a 330bhp e30 M3 which is...

here's the shell

http://www.s14power.com/classifieds/sho ... t=52&cat=8

There is an e30 m3 shell for sale , it comes with with a full DTM spec cage, rear arms and hubs, arches have been turreted to be able to run a low "DTM ride hight" and raised diff mounting. paperwork as well , its in primer and seems to be in good condition some glass is there, some pannel work is m...

So it's not a no yet.... It probably will be an no though, for sure there are no M3 shells available. The last few were picked up long ago an sit in private storage. You could maybe be luck and find out a touring/2 door shell is available some where in the world. what they have to do is not only ch...

a new un used shell in primer ......... i beleve there to be a few M3 ones in germany/austria. value wise, well they are not for sale even at silly pices. in the current market a clean used e30 m3 shell can command very strong money, i know of one very clean e30 m3 shell with paper work changed hand...

A lot of club racers with m20 2.5 spend a substantial ammount on their engines , and a few I know of which run ITB's and mildly worked heads with a cam make 220bhp, from a 2.5. but thats doesn't come cheap. ITB's Ã‚£1000 head work with cam kit and new rockers valves etc Ã‚£1500 management Ã‚£500 exh...

there is a point to nitrous, it's INSTANT POWER through the complete rev rannge, not just peak power. the simplest exampple is as follows, a 325i 170/170 bhp/ft lb a well worked 2.7 about 210/210 bhp/ft lb same gearing same weight on a 1/4 mile, there will be maybe be a 0.5 second in it but add a 50...

DanThe , yes they do come at a price, but i would pay Ã‚£300 for the solution and not spend my time messing with an m20 type gear box and bell housings or looking for an m20 box to fit with the right ratios just use the m50 gearbox from the e36 and pay the price for the diff ?? i'm all for new ideas...

search for it

its been discussed few times recently and all relevant information of how to do it is there

agreed that its not the best box to use, it was just an example that it can be used with the right bell housing ( in racing/track use the dog leg has its advantages) anyway back to my original post which was the options of gear boxes available to work on the m50, getting the box to work is not a dra...

i doubt that is an original converted car, more like the parts were thrown into a reguar e30 and now its had some extras attached likt the replica m3 arches and e36 trim if you can find the H36, well thats a different toy to think about. there was a red one on ebay a few years back, but it wasn mess...

there a few trimmers in the UK who could do this work for you the one i have used spends most of his time working on bentleys/rollers and other prestige cars with a few US imports, how ever he recently completed a 635csi highline for a customer, including the dash to a very high standard, but he did...

the e30 M3 dog leg box can be addapted to fit, i recall mosely motorsport did it a few years back .

there's an other option for you.

i recall the alpina bss325i mentioned, a very fine car, but the power figuers quoted were bit higher then i personaly belive. in regards to the leather dash, i have seen 1 and it was in black, the centre consoles and h.brake section do occasionaly come up on e bay, i think a contact of mine may have...

a variety of music,but i find that actualy using music with true intruments, not electronic notes works best. but you will find that some types of music may then be over powering on the trebble and then some with the base. bass is simnple, it just depends how much you like it, geting clear powerful ...

most of what you want is straight forward and simpple, nothing to realy worry about there, its just all personal preferance and taste when it comes to decision time in regards to suspension set ups, interior trim etc what you will find the most people will recomend the bilstein/H&R/eibach combinatio...

edit after seeing the above post by ste..... i understand what you are saying and i do filter out 90% of what's said kp, 90% of people dont bother starting any sentence on here with a capital when typing, so i think thats it is a little harsh to make big issue of it, but again point taken however pl...
