E30 Zone

Hi there,

So finally got the time, as promised on the new member site, to upload some pictures and info about my little project. First some spec:

E30 325i from 88
Engine is from a 92 E36 325i
BC racing suspension
Poly bushes
Finess.se cage
Sparco seat
Schroth 6 point harness

I must say, the amount of time it takes to build a car for track use takes much more time that I anticipated, bought the car in November last year as an ex rally and then drift car. Which means the car was in a very bad state!! It was rusty, well rotten to be honest. But everything is sorted and nearly done with bolting the new stuff on. Seat, belts and tyres and the car is ready for it's mot and rally approval. The reason for me to get it through an mot is that I will use it for hill climbs and then the odd trackday:)
Oh and I need to sort out a little overfueling issue. Well that's what I think it is. There is a bit of black smoke when you rev it and it smells a bit of fuel. There was not O2 sensor and the airmass sensor was unplugged. I have installed an O2 sensor and got the thing running well again. Apart from the black smoke. Maybe the ecu needs to "learn" again?

I guess there is plenty of tyre info on the forum regarding pressures etc? I am thinking of running r888r. The thing has a welded did as well so need to find a new diff. What you guys recon on a welded diff on a track? I used to live in UK and worked as an track instructor, so I've tried cars with proper nice diffs, but never welded up...


Anyway, any comments are welcome. If you think it's nice, thanks. If you think it's ugly, well at least I'm the one who is seen driving ita˜a

How do I attach picture???

Hehe, as you can see I need practice;)

Just out of interest why did you go for the m52b25?

It was already in the car. So I thought I'd use it until it blows up. If it does that is...

Love it mate ! Colour is awesome ? Is it a porsche gt3 colour ? Very similar if not .
As for the welded diff . Get it off ASAP .. Massively promotes understeer .. Ruins the car . Any more pics dude ?

Cheers, thanks. Yes it's the Porsche gt3 green. Very green indeed... I think have more picture, I'll have a little look.

I am on the look out for another diff, but they are getting harder to find and people want a lot of money for them. At least here in Denmark.

A little bonus info about the build. I ripped out the chassis wiring and wired a new one in. So I might be able to help if anybody is having the same problems as me. Did do a lot of searching though on all kind of forums which helped loads!

i like it very different

Post them up .. Yeah they are getting very hard to find . They do pop up on here from time to time .. There are loads in America ( eBay.com ) .
