Hi all , I have been on here for a while and now have most parts for my Cosworth conversion. I did do one a while ago and there were many parts I was not happy with so this time I know where I went wrong.

I will be starting my project within the next few weeks with build pictures if enough positive feedback.

First I brought my old cosworth project back.
















And stripped it.






Then brought this clean dolphin grey with tech 2.











Fitted black sport leather
E30 YB number plate (YB cosworth engine code )
A set of borbet b wheels and had a full refurb.





















Any questions please ask

thanks robin

 

very nice mate, will keep an eye on this

 

that looks gangsta as fuck,love it!!

 

are yout he guy with the bedroom painted black
i heard you like to tie the girl friend up in there and do nasty things to her lol

guess who this is lol hahahahahaha

 

love e30's,this is gunna be good quite a common mod for these cossie yb,them borbets 9"wide?

 

E30 cossie..wow..nice project mate..

 

are you the girl friend?

 

The wheels are 9j front and rear. 205 40 17.

 

Very cool. Best colour for an E30 too!

 

You know what I think. Proper' cool.

Benni.

 

very cool!!!

 

awesome, would love a E30 cossie

 

nice project

 

awesome, we watch this with interest, not decided what to do with my e30 yet

 

i have a complete cosworth conversion running on a stage 1 and t34 ready to fit straight into an e30 for Ł1800, custom sump shaped around the e30 crossmember and everything needed for a plug and play job....

 

I could not decide for ages to do a mk1 cosworth focus or a E30 cosworth. I think i have made the right decision.

I wanted something different without all the big bills.

 

e30's are the bollox

 

looking very smart mate! Like i said when u came to pick the intercooler up from me, u need to get a thread going and u have! Its good to see it and i'll look forward to more updates

thats the bollocks ................more pics!!!!!!

 

very cool, a sport will be savage with that much power.
i think it needs to be lowered more on the new wheels, is it standard height?

 

careful now, its not a sport, its a 325. you need to get the terminolgy right or the originality bufties will stab you for molesting a genuine sport.

 

fuzzy i might be interested in that engine wot other things will i need to get it on the road. i know i need i car lol

 

a clutch. that it . everything else is there from the custom mounts custom prop and exhaust. the wiring loom that will plug directly into the e30 socket and the l6 with stage1 chp. ported andpolished head, 20000 miles since new piston rings and stem seals, 10000 miles since new stage 2 t34.48. 1000 miles since new grpA headgasket as the head was removed to helicoil a couple of broken manifold studs. ive never blown a headgasket on this either.

 

would it go in a e36

 

I love the E30 shape, but why the shonky pinto engine?

 

i dont know what would need changed to go in an e36. i dont know if the diff has the same bolt arrangement as an e30 or the same mounts line up etc.

 

will i need a rad ecu ect

 

i have everything included, a standard recored rad and a standard 2wd cooler plus lots of samco hoses. an l6 ecu with stage 1 chip, a t5, custom prop, custom stainless exhaust. no clutch and no air filter and the lower metal rad hose is missing but new ones are about Ł25 on ebay.
the t5 has been modified to use the bmw hydraulic clutch system.
did you miss my previous post as you posted at exactly the same time?
anyway best to pm me if your interested as were taking over the o/p's thread....

 

thats going to be serious fun when its finished, looks aswome mate.

 

I'm thinking of doing exatly the same thing!! i've got the complete running gear from my 450bhp cossie and LOVE e30's - could you do me a massive favour and list the things you need to go to get it to fit? would really appreciate it. cheers

Hi mate good to hear from you .




alanfordtw-15 very cool, a sport will be savage with that much power.

It is lowered 40mm and I agree it needs to be lower. I might get rid of the streached tyres as it makes the wheels look small.


alistairolsen I love the E30 shape, but why the shonky pinto engine?



Is this a serious question on a ford site ?



cossie*mad! I'm thinking of doing exatly the same thing!! i've got the complete running gear from my 450bhp cossie and LOVE e30's - could you do me a massive favour and list the things you need to go to get it to fit? would really appreciate it. cheers



Read what parts fuzzy is selling as he has all the parts needed.

 

Love it, cool plate

 

Very nice.

 

didnt realise that it wasnt a gen sport, not that it matters when its a good looking e30 that will go fast
violence would def insue if someone was to do such work to a 'sport'!

 

nice sleeper

keep up the good work

you know how anal they get on the bmw forum about mighty sports and its not the same sort of anal as on the passionford forum

 

The car is a 320 I SE with a 325 engine. I was looking out for a genuine sport shell but not much difference and cost alot more and as the engine is being removed I did not think it was worth it. The car will still be a 320 I (just the wrong 2.0 engine).The car also has no sunroof. There is a E30 M3 Cosworth in progress.

Thanks for all the positive responses so far.

 

the 320 shell will have the thinner front struts then? 45mmm instead of the heavier 51mm found on 325's and tourings?
have you already uprated the suspension?

Hi mate. I have some 51mm struts from my last car, LSD and rear disc breaks.

I also have a saftey devices 6 point cage but do not think I am going to use it as I want it to look standard.

 

heavy duty thick pistoned bilsteins b8 shocks are a good choice. mine on stage 1 coped with standard sized brakes but using ebc discs and red pads front and ebc discs and greens on the rear. it might be a bit to much for stage 3 though if your running that, bigger brakes would be recommended.
t5 on a custom prop with a 3.91 lsd?
