Hi mate, yeah i remember your old VERY stripped out E30

Welcome back Duncan !

watch out, Dlatch is about

hello duncan.

where you been? pissing around with old pintos etc?

for the record. duncan had an early sport, standard engine bar a chip.

striped out. and bumpers/kit removed i seem to remember.

14.7 on the 1/4 mile. fucking quick that thing was.

Hi Duncan,

Yeah, I remember the old girl. I also remember seeing your foot appearing in the boot when you kicked out the ski hatch panel

Ian.

Now that's a launch! Slower terminal than mine, at ~93/94 but just as quick a time.

How much was taken off this weapon!?

How much was taken off this weapon!?

quite a lot like pretty much everything, got some pix somewhere

Go for it Ant!

before my time im afraid,but welcome back anyway

lol heya guys
yh it was pretty stripped out but still hady mtech bodykit ect when it done that run it weighed 10060kg at that time.

did get lighter later on but never had the chance to run it again ended up being stripped for parts and the shell going to the scrappies
mk1 sports ftw!! shame about the steering lol non pas 4.4 turns lock to lock wtf were bmw thinking about

yh quicker than Sals 2.7 monster too

and hey jon

welcome back!!!

We need to see this chariot!!

old skool alert! the lunch man!

wheres the passion ford sig pic gone!

Welcome back Duncan!

Yes that was car was quick and most certainly quicker than my C2 2.7 even with the same gearing. Kicked out some decent BHP is I remember correctly.

So, your buying a Touring are you! I guess you'll remember all that stick you gave me about mine!

Anyway, it's good to see you back.

Sal

Quicker than the GUG, quicker than every other E30 I've seen, bar a stripped 3.5.....

What's the crack!? Haha

185 bhp roughly with 1060 kg + not a very heavy Duncan himself who was quite handy behind the wheel.

If you think Oz's car is light this thing was in another league.

Not quite in your league Dave (yes, I do believe you are a driving legend and will continue to stipulate this) but very very good.

My old C2 wasn't particularly fast for a 2.7 - had a stupid M30 AFM in those days. Even Ant's tech1 turd was just as fast.

Sal

Thank you for your kind words Sal, it's much appreciated, if you can get me a drive in a race team I'm sure I could return the favour with a pint of Belgians finest lager!

Someone get the pics up!

Hey Duncan, good to see you back.

I certainly remember that stripped out E30, I was there when you loaded it up on the truck, on its way to the grave !

And I know where your 'other' M-Tech 1 Sport is as well

Bharat you faggot, phone me. I got some work for you and it's urgent.

Sal,

Who's given you nasty pills?!

haha true but i gotta stick the dog somewhere so tourer seems best option but would not turndown a nicley spec'd 2dr 325 either will see what comes along.

but it will get a P-Ants turbo conversion for sure or a cossie lump who knows

so whats the new thing in E30 tuning? i hope everyone is bored of the bling by now and going for some real performance

ps heya bharat what u driving these days mate? see the cab finally gone.

pps got a job yet?

sal. that "alpina" you had was a fucking abortion. i have never seen anything like it. a corner of the front panel was held on by filler.

Duncan, this is the other sport once of your's that Bharat is referring to mate....

Now belongs to Mahmood on here...and is staying with me in Kent for a while.

Ahh good to see thats still going well i only owned it a week lol nice car though very strong engine pulled great.

Bharat numbers same mate

"its a bag Martin, a fookin Bag"

needs some Mig-in in the new year but damn good car still dude.

Ant u involved in any M50 turbo conversions yet?

those E36 machines are SO cheap atm its tempting

Also been offered a very rare volvo BBR turbo conversion 740 estate D reg been out for a ride and it goes lol
would deffo surprise a few people

Ant u involved in any M50 turbo conversions yet?

not done one yet M8, smae rules apply though and theres plenty of info to help guide the install.

you tempted then

lol yh tempted by lots of things

the volvo appeals just for sleeper value
E36 appeals if i went 2dr coupe but i want turbo power for sure so need to know situation with m50 engine regarding that.

E30 is also top of my list but as always i will prob buy the first crazy car i get offered lol

ended up like this.

Yes Jon, I think it was me who is the one who pointed out how bad the car was and took pictures to show everyone. Infact, I showed you myself!

i think you took the weight loss thing to the next level

maxfield

lol yup did a little but there was a inbetween stage where it was still road legal and i managed to do a fair few trackdays with the car and it proved to be very effective as a few E30 m3 owners found out

when it reached its final stage of beng stripped out the idea was to trailor it ect but that proved to be a big hassle and the car ended up being unused and eventually broken for parts and the shell scrapped.

Fancy another trackday car atm but its a big expense and i must finish my kart project before i start anything new
