Yo, I have a E30 325i chrome bumper and damn its slow. Mods is not a big thing down here in South Africa for Bimmers..I need to know, What tweaks are there for a 325i so that I can get some good speed out of this car - normally aspirated ofcourse

Down here, Opel Superbosses and Honda V-tecs rule..I wanna kick their a@#. So if anybody know of good mods let me know.

The E30's are endangered species in this country and I wanna prove a point to those other car clubs..

hmm the usual filters exhausts will help along with a cam etc..

but personally if u can find an e34 5 series 3.5 engine... drop that in... and uve got 220hp and a very fast car very very cheap.... possibly cheaper than an exhaust for ure 325i if u do things carefully

m8 correct me if i am wrong here but i just googled 'superboss' (what a big headed name but kinda kewl) and found out it's basically an Astra GTE/GSi m8 you should be killin them in a 325i

Get rid of the interior bang some bucket seats in will help power 2 weight ratio.

Ok, however parts down here are not cheap..U will pay through the roof for a motor. so i will get a cam 276 and see if that makes a difference.

As I say, I need to import performance parts. Maybe i should look at some websites for parts.

My GSI was alot faster than my 325 Sport and any other 325 Sport I raced. A GTE is even quicker.
