E30 Zone

So life started out as a almost standard 325i with m-tech 1 kit and alpina wheels brakes were sooo bad, handling was very sloppy pretty much all the bushes required replacing the steering rack was falling apart 180,000 miles the engine was tired and hadn't had a service in 8 years but had had a brutal 8 years of being nailed and drifted!! to be honest i was surprised the engine still went!! :/ thing is it still looked "the sh*t"

After a little clean and a new battery i was much happier!





Next step was a service, the idle was lumpy and it was hesitant on acceleration so i changed plugs, leads, cap, stat, all belts + cam belt and bought new wheels and added the yellow lights









Really really liked the wheels proper "gangster" look on the car!
Then decided i would be original and paint the centres, black with a Kandy vivid Red overcoat. Looked nice untill i got them on the car and decided i didn't like how dark they were!!.

So next step was to sort the sloppy sloppy handling and brakes. I had researched the Mazda Rx7 big brake conversion, found a set of FD3 turbo rx7 brakes for £50 on the bay. Then found some guy selling coilovers and a 5 stud hub conversion with e36 m3 brakes. So i bought the kit started speaking to the guy, turns out he prepares rally cars and absolutelly bumms e30's then he sold me an engine and conversion kit he was selling and only charged me £25 an hour labour! So its now got a plethora of upgrades goes well and handles!

That is SEXY!!!

I love the double forged on an E30.

Currently I have one wheel on my E30...LOL

Yeah its gonna be a hard decision when i do replace them! But BBS all the way!!

Thanks though... as soon as i source some z4m seats and respray a few bits (maybe the whole thing) ill be alot happier. But for now its roof down sun searching!!
