British Drift Championship V8 E30

I need some ideas for bumpers and general bodywork items for my E30 as it's currently lacking said items and will be entering the BDC this year. I'm told this is generally frowned upon even though MJG's E30 BDC appearance is well documented as being alot more Tramp than my E30. Personally I'm not in...

Re: Fuel Pressure problems?

I didn't realise they had two pumps; I thought that was a diesel thing. My '86 V8 also had a very loud external pump with intermitted problems (normally when warm) involving loss of power, as if not running on all 8 cylinders when under load, however an external Bosch pump with boot mounted fuel tan...

E30 Zone 2.7 Chip

Hi, My mate has recently transplanted a 2.7 lump (525e bottom end with a 325i head IIRC) in to his E30 320i. It's currently running on a standard 325i ECU (serial ending in 380). I've heard that there's such a thing as an "E30 Zone chip" which would be suitable for this, however I can't see where on...

E30 Suspension

I'm looking at getting at set of shocks and springs for my E30. The car will only be used for drifting and will never be used on the road. I'm looking for a fairly budget set up, as I'm very much a beginner with drifting, so I can't see that I would benefit from an expensive set up at this stage. So...

Re: 3.0 M60 Conversion

Thanks for the advice guys. The main attraction to me would definately be the noise of the V8; obviously a 4 litre would be better, but 218bhp isn't too bad, and as Jonsku pointed out; it could always be upgraded to a 4 litre if I for example blew the other one up!

3.0 M60 Conversion

Hi, newbie here :gives: Anyway, I recently acquired an E30 320i SE with the intention of using her as a drift car. At around the same time I managed to acquire an E34 530i for £500 as it had a full stainless system (including cats) that I wanted to swap onto my 540i. So now I'm left with a perfectly...
