Good isn't it

I'm actually in the process of getting a 10K agreed value on it for the insurance. Just need to get a signature and rubber stamp from a specialist on the paperwork and it should be sorted. I'm off to Munich Legends for an Oil service on Friday, so will get it done then. Last time it was in for a service, Barney said he was happy to do me a valuation.

Got my agreed valuation from Lancaster for a good figure, got Ron Parish to support the valuation plus with finding 'similar' spec cars currently on the market (in worse case of having to replace the Hartge) and the normal lost of photos all was ok. So bear in mind Ron, his opinion is highly valued (excuse the pun).

POA is the plate I like though but still not as good as WHU !!!!!! LOL

Ahh, sorry. Didn't realise it was a Football reference. It's all a bit lost on me as I'd rather insert red hot pins under my finger nails than watch a footy match

Hello ian(?)...that is a nice-o car! Ok...please describe what you have "mounted" on your e30. The engine...m88(?)/brakes?/suspension?

Please tell.....was it an "easy" job? Did you do it yourself?

The engine is an s50 lump out of an e36 m3 evo

ian took me out in this car. i wont go into detail but i nearly crapped myself. It stops quicker than it accelerates. The car is completely flawless there is nothing left to do on it, and from the outside it doesnt look tampered with. The conversion looks like it came out the factory as did every other option that has been fitted

imho the best e30 on here bare a few pshycho m3's

a true masterpiece ian

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2005 1:15 pm**

Thats car looks mint mate, and love that e36 m3 engine conversion

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2005 1:34 pm**

Awesome car!!
It almost looks like it came from the factory, it's been put together really well, top marks Ian

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:44 pm**

johno its so quick mate

stopping is the best bit though

o and the suprise behind the rear armrest...

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2005 4:08 pm**

318-is-......ok....as long as you didnÃƒ”šÃ‚´t doo-doo in ianÃƒ”šÃ‚´s car!-)

The suspension and brakes...are they also m3/e36?

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2005 4:10 pm**

suspension is bilstein shocks an HnR springs i think

brakes are unreal. I think the discs are suplied by some german company? mov-it or sumink? but they are huuuuuuuuuge drilled slotted bigger than my head

rears are uprated i think. whatever it is it fuckign stops it!

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2005 7:34 pm**

I hope to see it in the flesh at some point, it aint that far away from me! Clearly a lot of hard work has gone in to it

Anders,

You can see the full spec here. It's a bit old, but not much has changed, just added a few bits.

http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... e=332m.htm

As engine conversions go, it was not that bad. Brake servo clearance was the biggest problem. It's all my own work apart from things like the Exhaust and propshaft.

Where was that then, I would like a agreed value on my rare car!!

Posted: **Thu Dec 01, 2005 11:47 am**

Ian...thanks for that! It must have cost a bundle though.....

Posted: **Thu Dec 01, 2005 11:54 am**

WOW, amazing car Ian! are you taking it to the ring? What brakes are you using on the front?

Posted: **Thu Dec 01, 2005 6:23 pm**

Not sure about the Ring. I went back in September, but may pop over around Easter time.

The brakes are basically the same as you get on the front of a 993 Twin Turbo Porsche. The kit is from a German company called Mov'it who fit Porsche brakes onto most popular cars.

It's not a cheap conversion, and will only fit under a very small selection of wheels due to the size of the calipers.

Cheers,

Ian.
