Welcome to the zone.

[djjammy]

[billgatese30]

welcome mate

i've been to portugal loads of times (the algarve) where abouts are you from

seen some nice e30's over there too

[djjammy]

I live in the north of the country..im Oporto or Porto..land of Jose Mourinho..coach of chelsea..eheh

[m3ben05]

Welcome buddy,

Dont like the mods but each to their own - car looks in good condition though

[Zayyan]

I don't like it either but if you like it that's all that matters.

Is it on hydraulics or have you really left the suspension standard!?

[djjammy]

yes, its standard..the reason..no mony for all, i'm waiting for wheels and suspention..a slow project..student money isn't very big

ps: sorry for my not very good english ;)

That's a great part of the world, and virtually rust free!
I mainly know V.N.Famalicao in Portugal, just up the road toward Braga from you. Lovely place, great weather, nice driving roads - good for an E30 I think!

[djjammy]

the rodas ain't very good..it's one of the reasons i didnt get my e30 lower
but one day i'll do it..

[Globulator]

the roads ain't very good..it's one of the reasons i didnt get my e30 lower

Hmmm - you ought to try British roads! The new EU funded portuguese motorways are very smooth and comparing the smaller roads (ignoring cobbled stone streets!) your roads are a bit rough sometimes - but here the frost attacks the road causing many holes, then the government cuts council funding to pay for it's War of Terror, resulting in these big holes ending up everywhere.
Occasionally a road is nicely resurfaced - the better the job they do however the quicker someone else digs it back up to install piping, cables etc.

Really my journey into work now is like one giant shakedown, I probably ought to just buy a big lexus or an E38!

[Gouki]

needs bigger alloy wheels and to be lowered, will look miles better when done. Welcome to the zone.

[Hap]

hi and welcome im off to aulberfira in june

[elf]

hi mate welcome. looks as if you like your modded e30,s a bit mate.
you will find one or two people on the zone not keen on that look.and make comments to tell you that.
dont be put off tho its only an opinion ,but opinions can get a bit heated
it calms down. a nice bunch on here,plenty to chat about,
check out my car on photo gallery (elfs,325i maybe)
if you like that sort of thing.

[djjammy]

thanks for the comments mates..
I have one doubt..can I install a turbo in my 316i? what do I have to do and which turbo?

[Hyperion]

hello and welcome to the zone, i like the look you going for tere, you just need to lower her and put some big wheels to make her look just right. What front bumper is that by the way?

[djjammy]

as I know its called RS style..its a german style one..
what 15'' and 16'' whells do you like to see in e30's?

cheers ;)

[TroyAndEddie]

That's cool man, I'm out in Portugal too, well...way out here. I'm in the Azores, on Terceira Island.

[320Touring]

hey welcome djjammy!

car looks nice and clean dude-think it helps that your place is much warmer than Britain!

There are some really cool roads in portugal, esp around Porto, but the one I remember the most is a mad backroad that I took from Lisbon to seville-absolutely nuts, especially in a ford ka

keep up the good work on the car!
