Thought I'd slam this on here.. mainly because I'm bored and enjoy winding up purists :D

Bought one E30 316 that's about bollocksed...

Image

Removed this....

Image

To get this.....

Image

Then took one of these....

Image

And removed this bit.....

Image

And jammed it in here (mucho gracias to Rob for the mechanical fiting and Clive for the electrickery, I'd have been knackered without you).

Image

Took it out for a spin and scared myself shitless (because unknown to me, Rob had wound the bleed valve out by something like 5 turns) and declared myself in love.

Hauled ass to TDW 3 and pimped around like a real cool dude making "Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap... Tish!" noises.

Image

Then I wanted a 'cooler, so....

FMIC is on!

Image

(not quite finished in the pic, but you get the idea).

Time for uber booooosts!

Although it looks bad with the front off, we've been at the car again.

Bad pics, from phone.

Image
Ooooh, she is sexy.

Image
HARDCORE with the front back on. Leaving the bumper off methinks ;)

Image

Image

Image
Wheelz bought cheepz from Trig. I likes a lot.

Image

Oh, I so do love this car long time.

Went up to the farm to get the ol' shitter running again after chomping the front out for the FMIC.

Got the fan all fitted up. We haz clearances!

Image

My biggest complaint about the car has always been he exhaust note. When I got it, it was fitted with a Scorpion backbox. Wehn we fitted the engine, we removed all but the very quiet Scorpion...

Image

Obviously not good enough... so... GTFO!

Image

Check out ma SAVAGE exhaust y0! Got it for cheap y0! TAIIIGHT!

Image

ZzzzzZZzzzzap! (thanks Clive).

Image

I haz tha JDM goodnesses. Sounds the bollocks too. YouTube of tha noises y0!



Image

After the Horatio debate I thought I'd trial fit it. Waddya reckon? I'm undecided.

Image

Image

Decided on without in the end :D

And here's how it stands... getting ready for TDW5.

Image

Let the shitstorm begin!

Scuze my ignorance, but what was the donor car, I don't recognise it? What engine, turbo etc. Any specs you'd like to share?

Nothing wrong with a welded diff - if I were into drifting or dragging I wouldn't use anything else - so no need to apologise. Dead kittens = collateral damage :D .

Gareth gets extra nerd points.

It is indeed a nissan Silvia S12.

Engine is a CA18ET 1.8 Turrrrbo with a T2.

Running without an airbox for extra aeroplane noises, a bleed valve for extra powerz, a dump valve for extra tishyness, a dirty great intercooler off of a Volvo 740 Turbo for more intake cooling and a Savage chavomatic exhaust for extra Brapppyness.

Now on the lookout for free or cheap spare parts to make more powerz. Anyone got a T25 from an S13 or a T28 from an S14?

Got dibs on a set of SR20 injectors to glue on (might have to take the fuel rail too mind...) and if I find an Apexi SF thing for extra mappyness in a skip somewhere I'll have a crack with that too.

All totaly unrelated turbo fed car parts that can make this go faster for very, very little money gratefully recieved.

Apart from the seats... car still owes me under £200.... :D

And here is mine with a Toyota 3SGTE engine, for more riceyness, with GT3267 turbo, and the body from an R5, for less, err :?, E30ness.

Under £200 :eek: Well done dude, that's amazing.

Never mind the bloody kittens, 37 purists are right now sitting in their Garage queens
with hosepipes attached to their OEM exhausts and their sub 5k engines quietly
pumping carbon monoxide into their mint never been shat in interiors.

You is full of funniez, yes you are ;)

Now the (very poor) Zoner shite is out of the way (it had to happen) - I've got to say, I'm disappointed at the amount of abuse I've recieved.

The Zone changed hands or what?

A year ago I'd have been bannzZZzored. Or at least called a fascist or summat.

Might even be able to hang around here now the penis entourage seem to have buggered off.

And yes - it's AWESOME fun. :D

Murran - key swap at TDW5?

Due to the current economic recession verbal abuse is currently in limited supply. However, for a small fee I can assist :? .

Yeh, still plenty of 316's out there. I can't really imagine the day when someone says "Honey, I'm just popping down the Haynes Motor Museun in Somerset to see one of the few remaining examples of a 316 E30 BMW" :D

Ok fair do's.

However..... I have got what Mason keep calling a tech or something that's got a mildly spanked quarter (looks like a 2 door 325 with a bodykit to me :bling: ), and that's getting similar treatment.

It's parked next to a Volvo 740 Turbo... and sparky weldy things are probably going to start happening very soon.
