Damn man! I wasnt even a father when I started to read this thread

Now I have a 2year old girl

I love england! You guys can buy anything

Can someone help me with the bodykit? I need a M3 Evo sport front bumper, GFC will be just fine, all other parts for the M3 conversion are managable, only the front bumper is causing a headache...

Thanks!

No green E30 for me, alpinweiss said the sponsor

This looks promising!

All I can say is: Its gonna be fun

yea, the transmision is fitted, and new mounting holes made. The gearleaver almost connects to the tranny without any linkege

The tunnel has to be enlarged, so its gonna be fun...

Im living in Slovenia, drifting has been in my life since 2004, and I dont want to build just a driftcar, but a good allrounder, so I can drive fast on the road, track or a drift competition. Makes life a little easyer

I'm very interested in what you've done regarding pushing the engine back... My ambitious eyes tell me that the weight distribution will be pretty close to 50/50. :D I think so to. From the pic below, you can see that the front of the car looks like it doesnt have an engine inside, so thats a good ...

Hell yeah - that's a properly ambitious project! :cool: :cool: :cool: Any views from inside the cabin? Wondering where the heater box is gonna go with the engine that far back! Im wondering the same thing, we tried to fit the original box, and theres no way in hell thats going in. So I have to buil...

No S38 fans here?

Hello! After a long time spent on other peoples swaps and building drift cars, I finaly have the time and the motivation to start on my on dream E30. I had a nice red moredoor 325i, that I converted for drift use only, and after a while got fed up with the fact, that Im only driving my E30 on track....

Phenomenal thread! Keep it up Glenn!

Listen guys, I can not fit any other BMW engine into an engine space so small- the M20 is going into a Opel C-kadett. Why? Dont ask, have the damn thing lying around in the garage for the last three years, and lots of E30 bits are going on, just beacuse I can not be botherd to go completly without B...

Hello! I feel kind of special, beeing the first to open a thread in this subforum :cool: Anyways, building my self a drift car (not BMW) with this legendary engine, and I am looking for some valve spring upgrades, beacuse the rev limit is going high- about 7500rpm. Also need some suplier info on som...

I`m doing every thing right

Its just that I think the UK E30 and UK golfs are diferent in those areas- you guys dont have to shorten the rod to the pedal for instance...

The ix servo is my next thing to try,its just so hard to find them here

Need to get this of my mind.. I`ve used a golf 2 1,3 brake servo,used an extention rod for the original BMC and I had to shorten the rod that goes inside the cabin to the pedal and make new threads on it to mount it on the pedal. All that and it didnt work at all. My M50B25 sucked so much air out of...

OK zoners..need your expertiece... Almost done with my E30 M50 driftcar,she needs some fine tunning and she`s done.. Got a E36 steering rack on the car,and now I want some more steering lock for more agresive drifting-more lock,more fun :cool: How to do it? anyone have an idea? here`s a pic of my la...

Did any of you guys consider that by changing the diff ratio improves the cars 0-60 time vastly?

my M50 B25 E30 with a 3.91 diff from a 316 does a best time of 5.8sec.
And thats with some mapping,and a good wheight strip..

Engine: M50B25 Vanos edition
Gearbox: E34 short ratio
Prop: E30 325
Engine Mounts: custom,very hard rubber
Brake Servo: golf 2, 1.3l...
Diff: small casing,3,91,mig spec

next....

Thanx

, just one more question: aldo the colours maybe different,the pin numbers are exactly the same?

Brian can U tell me whitch loom diagram(the conversion wires..)did U use with the M50 vanos swap? I need to go throu them again,every sender on this engine is new if it was broken,and it still goes into safe mode :x Issues with the poor runing are solved(false air going thrue the fucked up golf serv...

^^
I think this is the correct answer

i understand what Ur saying,but like I said,If there was a good engine to buy and relativly cheap,I whould go for another E30 project....or maybe a E28

hmm....hence another thing to think about :mad: So far the M50 has been just great,with some mapping done,and the limiter on the 7k rpm the thing realy pulls,and pulls like a train...and doesn`t run out off puff so quickly,so the M30 has to be just as good,if not better... the only problem is--->the...

What about the driftabilty of the M30...is it nose-heavy,or not? Cuse the M50 is just so great for this car in drift terms ofcorse...

Comparison to the M50 B25 engined E30 anyone?It realy bugs me witch is the better

I think that all fuel pumps are the same with the E30,so I dont think you`r gona have problems

Every thing seems to be under the inlet with this engine

Well,I cleaned the fuel tank,and it`s not better...the car is going to the mentor workshop today,will post what he finds wrong

where are the knock sensors located?

The complete lot---the poor running,and the nonability to hit the rev limmiter

Maybe a little update....the problem is only comming to life,when the fuel tank is almost empty....gonna empty the girl completly,and fill her up to the top,to see if its any better....
