Thanks for the reply fuzzy!
Who are ECP and how do I get hold of them?
This car is just my thrasher as I can't face using my kit car through anotehr winter so that is now tucked away for the winter. The e30 will just be stripped at present to get the weight down a bit. I will overhaul the brakes and polly bush all round. I have a 40mm lowering kit and some new dampers to go on. Thats probably it till next summer when I plan to bolt on a blower and get a bit more from it in time for next winter!
I notice you have gone the cossie route with yours! I am a real blue oval man myself and have a pinto turbo in my kit car with a full cossie low compression bottom end running low boost most of the time but I do have spells when I run up to 13psi. I get a nice consistent 150ish bhp at the wheels running 8psi which makes it pretty bullet proof. All run using twin dellorto 45's and a stage 3 head as well. In a car weighing 560 kgs it has 'adequate' performance!
I think the e30 is as close as you can get to the Mk1 Mk2 escort experience which I would love but they are just too bloody expensive now. I also have an e39 528i which I have owned for 6 years and have done 125k miles on top of the 60k it already had on it. It is a brilliant car!
Would like to know about your cossie conversion as I have a 205 block and cossie head as well as a 2wd manifold and lots of other bits so may consider doing something along the same lines!
is there a common easy upgrade to the calipers on the front of my 1986 325i?
