[hammoj28]

Thought Id post a few pics of the E30.

Had the M50 runnin for about over a month now and loving it. Pulls so bloody well and sounds mental!

All I need now is a respray, refurb suspension, coil overs and some nice split rims and she'll be done pretty much.

[ImysE30]

Nice one James, iS box isnt it? What diff are you using?

[appletree]

Loks sweet as it is on the BBS, and the engine looks very OEM

[hammoj28]

Its the iS box and iS diff.

[Simon13]

bet it goes then with that gearing!

[DanThe]

If its a 3.91 the gearing will be very close to mine, 3.25 diff with a 1:1 5th gear
Pulls like f*ck but tops out at 130 @ 6500 revs

iS is usually a 4.10 smallcase dan

James, I'll be sure to try and organise a trip up

get that bloody mini finished- I've done 8000 miles in the 320i, so there's no " yours aint done yet" type excuses left

[Bob_S]

looking good kidder.
That rocker cover looks familiar, doesn't it dan? ;)

Have to get over to Germany in it soon matey

[DanThe]

Ahhh I remember that cam cover..... still got the bubbles under the plastics?

The engine donor was sent off this morning along with another 2 ton of rusty old shite

[/// KAMI]

what is the strut brace called on your car looks good

[don-king]

looks nice fella

[E30BeemerLad]

Looks like a Sparco M3 strut brace. IMO one of the best and most purposeful looking braces and one of the cheapest too

[hammoj28]

Tis indeed a sparco M3 one.

[DanThe]

I fancy one of these for mine, is £62 delivered a good price? Know of a better price anybody?

[hammoj28]

Id say thats a decent price. Is that demon tweeks? Thats where I went, altho i think i paid a bit more than that tbh more like 70.

They used to be like 50 quid but the price hiked up a few months ago to around 60-70ish.

[DanThe]

From these - http://www.lkperformancestyling.co.uk/c ... races.html

I will have to paint it black though

[gooner1]

Dan, not sure if you,ve seen these, or have a clue on the quality but it would save you from
painting it.

[DanThe]

Too late, ive just bought one

Id rather have the Sparco TBH, wing is getting repaired next week so I will have him paint the brace at the same time

Sorry for the thread rape James will you be evicting the battery?

[hammoj28]

Hehe, dont worry bout the hi jack.

And yes the sparco one is a lovely bit of kit. Keep it red tho.;)

I shall be moving the battery to the boot yeh. Will be much better with it in the back.
