right not very E30 but thought some of you maybe be intrested to look at some pictures of a little project i been working on since i sold my E30 325.

Its a BMW 1602 theres no way i can afford a 2002 turbo so i thought id build a sort of replica, ive just finished building the engine which is a M10 out of a 2002tii which will be fitted with a T4 turbocharger from a sierra cosworth.

Your turbo looks sweet ! cant wait to see it finished.
I have just finished my 02 but now I want those coil overs ! where did you get them ?

I also bought an S14 to swap for the M10 but looking at what a great job you have done its time to re- think my plans.

Again what a car you have :cool:

the coilovers are made using the orginal tii struts and a coilover kit i bought from rallye design, you have to cut the spring pan off and weld in the adjustible gusset and then its just a case of choosing some springs and bolt the top mounts back on. and as for the manifold that was made by me and my son :D

Hi mate, that looks like a lovely job!

Currently building one of these myself from a '76 2002 as a track car. After a month or so I've just about finished welding up the drivers side - the rot is epic :(

What are you doing with the brakes? Looks from the pics like the twin servo setup is gone?

I like the coil over conversion, think I'll go that way myself.
