E30 Zone

Thought i'd stick some pictures up of my car out at silverstone round 1 of the british drift championship,

I qualified 2nd , and came away with 4th place in semi pro

the e30 was the only bmw competing









I'll be at llandow in a few weeks for round 2

M30 Turbo

Any more pictures of your car?

I only picked the car up on the way to silverstone so hadn't experienced a boosted m30 untill my first hour practice session, its mental!

Here's a video of the car at bailey performance dale fitted and mapped the megasquirt for me he's done an amazing job on both counts



he's a specialist in all things megasquirt give him a shout you can't go wrong!

I bet it's mental, looks a beast in the pics Can't wait to drive mine

realised i put this in the wrong section feel free to move it

That looks fantastic! Any vids of it drifting?

Hopefully some will pop up soon!

Got plenty of it drifting na but not the same as when its boosted

Cool vid and pics mate e30 turbos rock

I want to see more of the turbo set up

schmoking!

Here's a link to a bit of a write up of the car

And an awesome video of round 1

that video really is very very good!
loving the mk2 escorts too

Excellent video and build thread, thanks for sharing. Watched drifting for the first time yesterday at Castle Combe, and really enjoyed the skills on display.

One thing I was very keen to find out though, how do you guys keep the engines vaguely cool? My N/A M30 struggles in traffic let alone a big forced induction one working hard and bouncing off the rev limiter all the time.

What rad i you using?

I ran my na m30 e30 with an e34 535i rad and a cheap 12v fan on a switch for about 12 months and only got hot after a proper 2 or 3 hour pasting!

are you sure youve bled it properley also the return pipe on the header tank sometimes blocks up,

Im now using a nissan s14 alloy rad with custom front end and the same cheapo fan,

I was there on the Sunday, was a cool car.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. If that worked for your drift car, then there is definately something wrong with my cooling system.

I have a 6 month old E32 735i aircon rad and a big volvo electric cooling fan. Only possible difference is my car is an auto and thus part of the rad also acts as a gearbox oil cooler.

My 2fav cars, also the cars i own!!!

enjoyed seeing(and hearing) you out with this at llandow this weekend.
real shame about those tractor tyres mullering the bumper and rad (how did you get it running again,i thought it was done for after that impact!) looked cool with the lights and camera around it for the photoshoot too,look forward to seeing it in print

nice ride bro, i used to be quite good at skidding, i have had no seat time whatsoever so am probably pants now!hats off to you for drifting the e30 and showing the zoners at the same time.

Thought i'd pop this picture on from round 3 lydden hill! I qualified 2nd , and finnished in 4th place, i also won the semi-pro hard charger award

As you can see i need a tyre sponsor!!!!!!!!

And could do with a spot of bodywork sorting!

That video is brilliant!

Round 2 video!
