Vanos is preferable if you can control it. That car will no doubt be on standard management.
Looks like a right bodged together turd

It is if it is the only handbrake. A mechanical one is required as well as a hydraulic one.
Some setups retain a mechanical set up going off the same lever, but that doesn't look like it.

I've not been in the zone in about two years, I come back and this is the topic seems to be in every section! lol.Eddie25 wrote:Welded 316 diff
But yes.. weld 316 diff.. hmmmm.
316 diff with 380bhp - Straight line should be good!

Only problem with it though would be in stop/go traffic - You'd gas yourself!!

and bought an E36 323i. Then found out that the problem was the CPS. >:( I've not been the most patient I know but I'm better now! lol. After the 323i I bought a Mitsubishi Pajero, and then a year later need RWD back. Couldn't find an E30 for sensible money (what's with that?!?!), so got my hands on a 318ti.And now I'm looking at E30's again.

I know the car, probably 280hp. I think it's just running a couple of extra injectors rather than managment too.
Built on a budget..

Been one of my favourite e30's since I saw it in PBMW. I wish I had 12 bags spare as I would buy that in a heart beat
