E30 Zone

as you guess by the title, i finally got the call from the garage to come and pick my car up as it was finished! ive just had the first drive...and what a beast ! my hands are still shaking as i type this! my mate tried to keep up in his civic type r but didnt have a chance, he said there was flames coming out the exhaust as i changed gear at high speed, and the noise is unbeleivable! once ive had a chance to tidy it up ill post some pics

nice one mate, lookin forward to the pics and some video if you can manage that

Sweet mate, get some pics and clips up ASAP.

Love to see the look on people faces when you leave them for dead!!

At last, well done mate.

But telling us this without pics is like a lapdance. You get all excited but you dont get the beans

Nice one mate !!!!

thrashing people with a chest of drawers in the back has to be done, just for the comedy factor

WE WANT PICS,
WE WANT PICS.....

hi folks ,just back after another blast! the engine has already been run in as it came from my last car,which was written off,and had just been rebuilt to a higher spec before that crash, new ported and polished cylinder head,low compression pistons,wrc spec 3 layer stainless steel headgasket,stage 2 turbo,and dark green injectors. as i supplied everything right down to the ecu and loom ,he charged me Ԛ£2600 for labour only. theres a couple of niggles...the 2 cooling fans dont seem to be turning off and im about to disconnect the battery ,and the heater in the car doesnt seem to be working either so ill have to look at that tomorrow also, ill take some photos at the weekend when my mate can show me how to host them ,as im a joiner and just learning about this computer lark!

Superb !!

well worth waiting for the Fuzzy, good effort M8

pix/video asap indeed

excellent dude!!!

WE NEED PICCIES ASAP

hi folks, an update on the cosworth. unfortunately my reflexes arent as fast as my car . so this mornings heavy rain and a tail happy car left me bouncing of the railings at the side of the road fortunately theres only light damage...wing,grill and passenger side lights! i have all the parts to fix it so hopefully it should be in tip top condition by next week. and have i learned my lesson?...have i fcuk

Oops !

At least you can fix it easy

Savage - Still sh1t happens

lol Drifting in the rain is sooooooooooo much fun but with over 300bhp in a e30 in the rain ITS Another lever lol i bet ur talking 5gear wheel spin yeh? on the highways should be lol

Fuzzy - you poor bastard!

You are a bodyshop's wet dream mate!

Nice one, did you get any pics before the smash or even better some videos?

it should be sorted by next week-minor inconvenience! first things first though...tomorrow im taking it in to change the turbo. im swapping the t3 for a bigger t34 turbo, which has uprated internals and is capable of running more than 400bhp, ill be a bit easier on the fun peddle though after my little bash

finally a proper turbo engine in a E30

And yes we still need pic's

all the parts are painted and ready to go on after my little mishap, just need to find the time. got the car back on saturday morning with the new stage 3 t34 turbo. its capable of running 440 bhp but as yet ive not fitted the blue injectors and chip needed to take me a bit closer to this as im now skint. the turbo cost me the best part of a thousand quid! need to do a bit more overtime! it runs much better now as the old turbo was running at its limit and this ones not even being pushed yet, but ill probably have to wait till after christmas now.i need to get the body fixed as ive been asked to bring my bmw to a passionford meet this sunday. i dont imagine there will be many bmw's there!

hi mate, i was planning to go along but dont know what time it starts tonight.

hi mate.starts at 7pm i think.im gonna be heading through from edinburgh about 7pm with a couple of mates.should be a few nice motors if the weather holds out.if the weather is crap theres always the pub

hi mate.nice to meet you tonight
what a car mate
just a shame about the weather mate but what can we expect for scotland lol.
affraid they pics on my mates phone where shit
any top car mate and nice to meet you

so are we ever going to see any pictures of this beast???

What size exhaust housing is on the T34 you are planning to use that can get to 440bhp?
Biggest ive seen is a .63 and those can only cope with about 400.

Car sounds awesome, as above, need pics!

Come on... Pics speak a thousand words ;)

Sounds like a cool car.
