Original 325i sport.
Standard m20b25.
Limited slip diff
Fully polybushed
GAZ Gold competition coilovers
Corner weighted and geo @ centre gravity
Full roll cage
Carbotech XP8 all round.
Braided hoses.
Motul RBF660 brake fluid.
Sparco evo seats
Harnesses.
Sport evo alacantara steering wheel (soon to be for sale)
Lexan Plastic front and side windows. Sliders on front windows. (Rattle like a pill head in a rave)
Air intake kit - it's shite and soon to be converted back to a standard airbox.
ECU chip - no idea what it is though.
Currently on T1r's for general road use, but have a couple of sets of 888's and a set of a048's - just need some extra sets of wheels to put them on.

Will be fitting a turner motorsport solid diff mount this weekend.

Currently weighing in at 1100kg's.

Handles really nicely and as much as I love the sound of the m20, it's just so bloody slow. Really don't know what route to go engine wise...

Here's a few pictures:

Cheers for the comments - although it's been properly set up suspension wise and handles really well, I still can't help but think it needs to be a little lower. The smaller tyres don't help, however the current arch gap would rival most 4x4's!

More pictures as requested.

All I needed was a set of max power stickers to complete the boy racer image this afternoon!!

Desperately need to get an electric heater sorted, as the matrix has been removed by the previous owner.

My jack broke, so couldn't do the suspension today, so made some carbon fibre door cards instead - hopefully will have the rears finished by tomorrow:

I know what you mean - I think the all black rim suits the car better, so will probably rebuild the rm's slightly wider and paint the dishes.

Thanks Jim - the splinters aren't much fun though!!

Indeed that was me - didn't spot another e30 though? I keep my car near Wimborne so make the most of it when I come down!!

Ah cool, I was in my company car which unfortunately isn't an E30.
I live near Poole Grammar School, drop me a PM next time you're about, got my track car's MOT week after next so hopefully that'll be another E30 back on the road round here!

The picture was taken at a funny angle :wink:

I'll be changing the diff at the same time as the engine swap but that's still miles off aka I can't afford it!!

Hi Rix - no, I took the car out on the weekend and it was warm enough without it.

Still got a fair bit to sort as got a few track days booked - annoyed I didn't do coombe on Saturday.
