Re: What way to go with the E30 cosworth?

Here's a picture of mine on compomotive's but they're only 15's - wheels are th monos. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s170/fatboy171082/photo-3.jpg As you're running 5x120 you should have plenty options - look out for something off an ex e36 race car (as long as they're not bent!). That looks a...

Re: What way to go with the E30 cosworth?

Bigger brakes, more power, remove the eyebrows and change the wheels - that's what I would do. I like the fact it looks fairly standard but with an awesome engine under the bonnet. What have you done with your old 'box out of interest? Is E30 M3 brakes not good enough? What power would they be rate...

Looks nice as it is, espectially under the bonnet! It's your car mate, but if you have an itching to throw some more money at it, why not buy more sets of wheels so you can change the look of your car back and forth.

I ran E30 M3 brakes on my S50 conversion and they were fine for fast road use, but when pushed hard they would fade. I'm guessing the S50 weighs more than the YB lump though??

Eyebrows are the height of council tat. Centre locks are pretty pointless unless it's a race car, have fun changing a flat at the side of the road with those.
