    Shane's e30 build

    Hey guys, although I'm sorta new to r3v I've had my e30 for a while now and I thought it was about time to start participating in the community so here is my build thread on my e30.

    Store your photos and videos online with secure storage from Photobucket. Available on iOS, Android and desktop. Securely backup your memories and sign up today!


    So I picked up this e30 from a forum member on here I forget who actually but this is how it came.
    How it came:
    -88 black 2 door 325i
    -converted plastic bumpers
    -3.73 lsd
    -ESM 002 16x9 wheels
    -black leather recarro "is" seats
    -ground control coil overs
    Those were the only upgrades it came with everything else was stock.

    What I've done to it:
    -installed raceskids skid plates
    -installed smoked hella elip smileys
    -fresh kidney grille
    -smoked turn signals
    -fresh euro grille
    -installed MB Quart 6x9's and Alpine head unit
    -installed new control arms, tie rods, control arm polyurethane bushings all from fcpgroton
    -fixed driveshaft
    -new pypes muffler and 300 cell summit racing race cat
    -denso iridium spark plugs
    -upgraded walboro fuel pump 255
    -installed m-tech 2 steering wheel
    -installed smoked tail lights
    -MTI 3 piece 15x7 wheels with Toyo R1R tires(225/45/15)
    -installed IEengineering front strut bar
    And that's all I can think of right now I'm pretty sure that's it though.

    Very near future upgrades:
    -precision 6162 turbo
    -miller m20 turbo tuning kit(miller 3.5" MAF, Bosch 42# Injectors, W.A.R chip)
    -535i rear spoiler
    -tint windows
    -euro trim
    -finish turbo setup
    -repaint bumpers to shiny black

    That's all for the VERY near future but I'm nowhere done:)

    Eventually I'll have everything for the turbo and I have a few extra special plans for you guys. I'll keep you posted on what I do and I promise I'll have pics
    so stay tuned!

                    That'd be nice if mine came with gc's. Then I wouldn't have to fork over more than the cars worth

                            Yeah I didn't like how heavy they were and every e30 owner and their mother has basketweaves(almost). I'm throwing on better 3 piece wheels anyways.
