E30 Zone

Hey Zoners It's been like forever since I was last on the forum, let's just say that life happens and leave it at that. I'm embarrassed to publicly admit that not much has happened with regards to my "so-called restoration" of my baby :( . Again I'll chalk it up to "Life happens" Anyway, enough sob ...

Yeah man, but it's quite popular over here. Most guys seem to be going for the more fuller style wheel.

Personally, I like the mesh style look like the E30 M3 BBS wheel.

topless - No he didn't bud, but we are trying to do one last one for 2010. Maybe at The Rock raceway where we'll do a skidpan and maybe 200 m drags just for the hell of it.

evqii - If you're referring to the pic taken through the back window of the 325is then no that is the road to Hartebeespoort Dam via the tunnel. @ TPS - We do not get snow over here in SA and rust is around just not as big a problem as it is over there. :) Hey Gio I saw more snow in SA than i have ...

Hey Zoners Long-time no post I know but things have been hectic (really busy) on my side, what with my E30 build and work and family and life, etc”¦. Anyway, enough excuses for now. This past Sunday we tried to do a hook up in Johannesburg SA, sort of a last hook up for 2010 but no very many guys sh...

Hey punk, why don't you introduce yourself first..... :D Welcome Racing_snake to the Zone and I know you will enjoy your stay here. Zoners, this is my mate from the E30 Club SA forum and I can vouch for the power this car makes...... awesome and the torque is amazing. winkeye @ Ace 325i - Are you tr...

Hey Turbo-Brown, thanks for the response.

Yeah man that is a option but I don;t want to go too big either that is why I need to know what the best size would be or what the next size would be? The seats will be enlarged.....

Hey Zoners, howz everyone doing? I have a little question..... I'm busy rebuilding my motor and decided to mod it a little so I want to fit bigger Valves. E30Tech.com has the valve sizes down as intake valve size: 42mm and exhaust vavle size: 36mm. What I need to know is, are these sizes correct? Wh...

Ok, I wouldn't know was too young to have even remembered.

But as I hear, those were the good old days.

Oh ja... Buccleu (Not sure on the spelling myself) is not far from the track.

So you must have seen a couple of races at the track?

Must say, the track is not the same as it was back in the day.

Thanks for the compliments.

Hey Zoners I know I have been a little quite but alot has been happening on my side and that is why. Anyway, enough of the excuses. This past Saturday the BMW Car Club of South Africa had a track day at our famous Kyalami Race track and here are a few pics of the event for your pleasure. Firstly let...

Guys.... and gals

I thought you guys would like to read how the same discussion is going on the South African forum and maybe even comment.

You may have to register to read it first (I'm not too sure)

Oops, e30318ilover

Hi Grrrmachine

Thank you so much for your assistance buddy, it is greatly appreciated.

Looking lovely Shaheen.....

I see GP plates there buddy, where in the Gangsters Paradise are you from?

Than the inevitable and most important question of all... will you be will to bring stuff back home for me if I get something on that side that I like?

Thanks for all the inout fellas..... You all make very valid points and have good reason for your preferances when it comes to either of the options. So where are we at currently: 1) Stroker... keep the original m20 look in the engine bay but with more grunt, power delivery at high rpm (if I underst...

Looking good Gio, but how are you managing to drive around with no front indicators ? Btw, i may have just bought some front Bumper Mounts by mistake, it,s the rears i need. If you are interested, and will cover the Postage, i can let you have them, for whatever i end up paying for them on Ebay. No...

Hey Zoners So I have already introduced myself ions ago and thought I'd introduce my baby to you guys also. So my baby left the factory floor as a 232i Chrome bumper coupe back in 1985 and quite sometime after that the owner decided that the M20B23 motor needed to be tossed aside for some or other r...

The more I research this issue the more I'm leaning to going with the M52B28 motor.... trust me buddy.... if I had the funds fot the E36 M3 motor I would not even be researching a stroker conversion.... 210kw is more than enough and will take me a while to get used to and ugrade the rest of my box t...

Dude what are you saying.... "IMO you not going to notice a diff between a well tuned 2.5 and a 2.9 at the reef, maybe at the coast yes, but not much at the reef besides the added torque." Please elaborate on this statement coz there are guys with 2.9's here at reef that would tear a 325is to shreds...

Hi Shaheenk Noted bru, but there are quite a few guys (espescially on the SA E30 forum) that are running 2.9 strokers and they do not seem to have any gripes at all. I have not been to Budler as yet but I was also advised to get Tune Tech to do my 2.9 stroker as they will do a better job but who is ...
