Ok, so as you may have seen in members rides, I recently bought an '89 318i as can be seen below. Engine is fucked.
The idea was brakes, coil overs, then drop in an m20 and one day boost it.
Gut the thing and have a nice toy for club rallies and little track days before moving on to bigger things...
Here is the chassis:
And Then I saw this :giggle:
OK OK OK !
THIS!!!
So I took it for a test drive and... WELL.
... [/MONEY]
SO, in closing:
Things I have:
2.5L M50 turbo (not completely paid for yet)
-Includes everything for an e30 except FMIC and boost gauge
1989 318i.
-No sunroof
-Now power windows
-No fog lights
-No rust
-2 doors
-Plastic bumpers
28x9x2.75 - 2.5 in and out:
Planning on copying turbo325i's set up: http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthr...rcooler&page=4
I'm also planning to paint the IC black, to match all the piping and help hide it from the fuzzy muff (PO-lees)
Got the spoiler for a good deal on eBay, should help with extra down force.
Just kidding
Things I need:
Exhaust
-Looking at a used 3"in 3"out magnaflow on eBay atm.
-Then some custom piping i Guess.
Battery
318i battery has shit a brick..
Boost guage..
Looking for something clean and OEMish like VDO.
New clutch, M40 clutch just wont last.
I've been recommended an e46 330Ci clutch and fly wheel set up, and I can get the set up for about $1400 AU.
If anyone has a good recommendation for a clutch and flywheel (I'm not much of a purist they can be after market) SPEAK NOW.
Things I want / need in future:
GC coil overs,
Something in 16x8 or wider. and maybe a simple flare set up.
Brake set up... not sure, don't really want to go BBK... (maybe just in front)
Racing dynamics Carbon fiber engine covers to replace the worn out ones on there now.
Volvo 740 front lip.
316i trunk badge.
Some subtle stuff like
All red tails, smoked indicators, shadowline
...Lot's of other shit I'm sure
Let me know what you think!
And any help is ALWAYS appreciated!
Cheers
