E30 Zone

Love the project, shame about the off but at least you walked away unhurt! And good to see your carrying it on and not losing heart in it! Look forward to seeing updates!

Can get quite costly, but the thrill it gives is probably second to none, so worth it at least. Will try and get down for that one, not too bad to Brands Hatch, and havent been there in a while.

Awesome builds you have going on! Any more crazy plans for the future?

Was trying to work out if would be able to get to an event to see it in action, but dont think Oulton Park could be any further from me if it tried lol. Out of curiosity, how much is it to enter each event?

Lovely example you have here!

I had a 320 cab before, wish I still had it

(long story) Maybe that's a route for me to go then. When is your next event?

Looks good man, going to have a look at the videos when home from work as well. Liking the look of the white convertible in one of the pictures as well, didnt think they would allow that in a proper series? Thats got me thinking now lol.

Sorry, just looked very similar then. Lovely car nonetheless though.

Loving the build, just read through the whole thing through. Will be def interested to see how this continues to progress!

Is this based around wood Green. Sure I have seen this about. Lovely car you have!

Yeah thats a very good point. Its def something I want to get in to. Also want an E30 again, so good way to tie both things together. Just need to get moved in to the new house, and then can start hunting for the right base car. Will keep an eye on this thread and yours as well Rix313! Also any ques...

Interesting to see the figures there. Still something I want to do in the future, but thinking maybe to start on a smaller scale so just for general track use, and then to get it more ready for actual races when can justify the extra cash for the cost of them. And im sure it is worth it, just for th...

Loving this thread. Its come a long way from the start and look forward to seeing how it goes forward from here as well. Always wanted an E30 track car of my own, but not got the cash flow for one at the moment

Out of curiosity, how much do you reckon you have put in to this at the moment?

RB26, so Skyline motor. Spaceframed I guess, with a fiberglass single piece front end. Looks mental! Oh how I can dream of one day owning something like this lol.

Little annoyed and dissapointed since my last update. The guy im buying it off has been messing me about, by not returning my calls etc, and has now decided he wants to take out the seats, steering wheel, spare wheels etc, yet still wants the original price we agreed on that included all of those pa...

http://bmw-e30.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/E30-5-585x388.jpg nice site! nice car too but the offset / narrow tyre choice looks gash.. it looks like it's on tiptoes! :mad: Is it me, or does the rear left wheel look like it has more camber? Decent site though, will look on it from time to time.

Awesome looking pics! Do plan to make a trip to the 'ring at some point, and will have to go out of the way just to visit here!

Only a little update, but finally the guys got back to me. So im picking the car up on Thursday. Then the fun can begin

Towed an astra in my 320 before. Slightly different, but its probably around the same weight. Car had no problems what so ever.

Pics are old now, but still good to see! These were taken around the time of the M3 pickup truck they built last year if I remember rightly. Would still love to be let loose with some of those cars though!

It wont 'destroy' tyres. I have my cab lowered about 40mm all around, and yes it does wear more on the inner tyre, but lasts alot longer than 5000km.

Thanks for the info so far. Did you get the wheels direct from Borbet them selves?

Fake splits are a bit naff anyway. My winter rims cost me £300 - brand new & in there boxes and being Borbet, they're good & strong. Is that all the Borbet ones cost? Are they Borbet A's? Thought they had more of a flat centre cap as well? Will have to look in to getting a set now I know they are s...

Right so Z3 or E36 rack added to my to do list now lol.

How can I tell the difference between a track pad a sprint pad? Want to make sure I dont go ordering the wrong ones. And no brakes is the last thing you want, especially at your level as you mentioned twinning.

Im a little chubby so will probably need a removable steering wheel then when got a cage. Although do intend to lsoe some weight, so might be able to get away with it lol. Thought it makes the car a bit safer when parked up as well if there is no wheel. Liking the pics Phil. Making me want to get mi...

Worth the fraction of hp loss I think. Will add to the list of things I need to do to the cab.

Shitting hell that thing handles well!

Seems a nice simple mod. When you say you wire it in to the motor, it means it will be running the whole time you are driving? Will this not damage the heating element on the glass?

Ok regarding the handbrake i will try and live with the current set up then and after a few drift sessions will then start looking in to the hydraulic route. As for the steering, will see if I can find a new rack then. Sure will help drifting then if I can get lock to lock quicker. For those that ha...

Really appreciate all the input guys. Still waiting on the guy to pull his finger out so can sort out going to pick the car up. Getting impatient now lol. Phil, what make seats do you have then? I heard before that brakes are not essential on a drifter. A neighbour bought a 300zx that was running a ...

Just had a thought, a mate of my uncles said he would build me a cage one day lol. He builds them for the drag cars (uncle works on the team Shockwaves). Will see if he remembered telling me that lol. Doubt it

Will have a look at that one, thanks for the heads up

Also what is the law regarding roll cages? Are they fully legal for use on the road? Just wondering as this will be driven too and from the track. I drive a fully stripped and caged E30 to and from trackdays in both UK and Europe. Car is fully taxed and tested. I do get an "Advisory" as they can't ...

I dont have a set budget as such as its an evolving project really. So if need to save to get something will get it then move on to saving for the next part lol. Think at first will look in to the Circa ones then, and then when get the feel for the car more and ready to move up more i'll then move o...

The stickers, half of them seem to have been done with electrical tape lol. Dont get me wrong, I want it to stand out, like a drifter should, but I think the stickers on there are not the way forward lol. My old mans already told me hes putting his company name down the side, so guess I have a spons...

Def is, but cant put a price on a life as they say lol. May fit the harnesses with the current seats as well as having the standard belt set up. That way can use the standard belt when on the road to and from the pod, and then when at the pod used the harness. Thinking theres nothing to hit so no ac...
