what future cars do e30 guys aspire to?

[thornado327i]

Some time ago I thought it could be cool to take this:



Swap AWD from station wagon, put some decent suspension and something powerfull under the hood, slap some ricey spoilers, and have a huge sign reading "EVO ZERO" accross both sides... ;)

:bow:190e 2.3 16v cosworth

I've got one...and I love it! Mixes the best elements of the E30 M3 and E36 M3.

Here's mine:

Definitely a Cosworth 190e

Or the E30 M3 EVO

Whats the Horsepower on that Cosworth?

Whats the Horsepower on that Cosworth?

Only 165-185 hp in stock form (depending on year and market). It's a better design than the S14 in terms of durability, ability to sustain high revs, and flow through the head. However, the street versions were severely handicapped by their Bosch CIS mechanical fuel injection and single flapper-style throttle.

Convert to EFI and you'll get about the same power as an S14. With a set of stock 2.5 cams, multiple throttle body intake, and some tuning these engines will supposedly make 225-240 reliable hp.

Levent and I are about to test that theory ;)

190ish HP.

I tried to buy a black on black E39 M5 last month, but unfortunately my credit sucks donkey balls so bad I can't get a $10 loan with an $8.50 down payment and a 100% interest rate. :(

That said, I'm looking for nice Chevy Silverado to run shit over with, and haul E30 parts. :)

nice thread i love cars

gtfo, i hate cars.


realistically, i'll buy an early model to strip out this summer and romp. after graduation i'll probably lease a wrx to daily, then will be a 190e 16v, datsun 610 sss, maybe something s38 powered, and eventually an e46 m3.

new cars don't interest me much. i think i'm going to start hoarding 70's/80's cars that i can work on and be proud of, while leasing new shit to beat on and put away wet. no more dipsticks? gtfo.

[brainspo0n]

my semi-realistic list:

Austin Mini 1000 (or whichever classic Mini comes my way first)

528e (I just need some ye old-giant-steering-wheel-tape-deck-funk in my life)

Mk I Scirocco or early Rabbit (unmolested)

Honda S2000 (gotta get one before the douchebags ruin them all)

Mk I elise w/ Honda swap (a fella can dream)

Miata NA (no escaping this)

MGB GT (as easy to run as a Miata with added charisma)

Alfa Romeo GTV or Giulia Super

Any 1970's Datsun or Toyota

Lancia Fulvia
