Been lurking on here a while and have had a fair few fords in the past, but thought I'd throw up some info about my e30 as it might be of interest to some:

Original 325i sport.
Standard m20b25 - soon to be removed.
Limited slip diff (standard and probably needing a rebuild!).
Fully polybushed.
GAZ Gold competition coilovers.
Corner weighted.
Full roll cage.
Carbotech XP8 all round.
Braided hoses.
Motul RBF660 brake fluid.
Sparco evo seats.
Sabelt Harnesses but on the hunt for some Schroths.
Dished Nardi steering wheel.
Lexan Plastic front and side windows. Sliders on front windows. (Rattle like a pill head in a rave).
ECU chip - no idea what it is though.
Currently on T1r's for general road use, but have a couple of sets of 888's and a set of a048's - just bought a set of full slicks too.

Have run a few sets of different wheels, including rm's but didn't suit the car imo, but will be keeping the th's I'm running on the road and rz's for the track.

Here's a few pictures:







Made some carbon door cards and also did some for the rear to keep the cage company



Rubber addiction...



On the rm's - nice wheel, just didn't suit the theme of this car.





Dropped the suspension and fitted the compomotive th's:









At retro rides gathering last year:



Next up is to make it quicker and I'm torn between two very different choices, either an s54 or a YB...

 

Very nice! Always liked E30's especially 325i sports....

 

One of my all time favourite cars, my favourite part being the engine note!

 

Nice toy. You are right about the rm's, they don't suit the car. It looks mean on the TH's.

Have fun with it and good luck with the engine change.

Keep it updatet.

 

great cars

 

The 325 used to go well with a super charger on it but the m3 e36 lump fits, if a little heavy in comparison but 300 plus bhp in that would be good and then supercharge that later?

There was a turboed v10 one at Autosport show

 

That's lovely , I had a tech 2 sport in dolphin grey too a few years back and wish I'd kept it now

 

Like that a lot.
Looks great

 

Was never a fan of Alpina wheels though.

Don't get me wrong, they look lovely, but i wouldn't have the patience to clean them!

 

Alpina wheels were easy ....... Th2's on my S1

 

Hmmm.... Good point!

 

Love it Looks just like mine but with a different engine lol.

 

Looks tidy that!

 

My boss has one tucked away with an E36 M3 engine in it. He fully restored it a few yrs ago. He's also got a rather nice 2002tii that he's just restored as well.

 

Did this come from Warrington? Looks like one my pals brother sold the other year.

Edit to say I just checked and it was his car. I am currently racing another BMW he built. They build a great car.

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

I bought the car from North London, but they bought it from those chaps - a guy called Lawsy? Or his brother maybe.

 

That's right it was Lawsy's brothers motor.
I remember toying with the idea of buying it back then but decided to go for an E46.

 

mates got one with an e46 328 engine in, it fair shifts and is proper tail happy

 

love it - i still have a 2.7 engine somewhere lol
