E30 baur on rota wheels.

[christophsbmw]

Cheers yea I know what you mean. I cracked it on the way to work, as I pulled into the car park the oil light came on so I ditched it in the car park and went into work and left it.

[McGoo]

Do you change the wheels for MOT? Over here that would be insta-fail...

as long as the tread on the tyres is inside the arch all is good

[McGoo]

unlucky about your sump dude, mines silly low at the moment luckily for me im not driving atm so ive not had chance to smash it haha

hopefully ill have a sump guard sorted before i get insured lol

[christophsbmw]

Yea I need a sump guard.

Got bad news the engine I have the head is scored where the cam sits in the head so I have been reading up on putting an m52 lump in. I was thinking of using the 318is box it seems like the easiest way any opinions on this ?

[Cook318IS]

You will have no hope for a sump with a 24v motor if you already crack them with m20s

If I fit a m52 the car would be raised. I would be pointless keeping it this low with that power would never be able to use it.

So just fitted some new front seats from a BMW e46 and added a deep dish steering wheel. 

Also removed some  6mm spacers from the front. I have seen some e30s running no bumper on the front? I removed the front to see what it looks like but I'm unsure

wow loving the rotas with a bit of dish. look much better than the flatter ones! nice work on the coilys too, how did you get the shock to work though?

[christophsbmw]

Ok so I picked up a 6 point omp roll cage. Got it painted red and started mocking it up it's not the easiest thing to fit I need to cut abit of the dash out and weld in some plates then I can fix the cage in.

[mani]

[christophsbmw]

Hamirite black paint.

[Speedtouch]

Nice mods, but why do you have a bit of seatbelt hanging off the front?

[mani]

cool man

[christophsbmw]

Its a tow strap no real reason i just wanted it there it was just sat it my tool box from when i removed it from another car.
Some more photos. 



Also i picked a machine polisher up cheap. Only used it twice but I'm really happy with it. Been looking at getting some more polish and was wondering what people use on here. 

This is what i use now 


And have been looking at these what do people think?
