parts swaps in a E30?

[roundel]

I've been on the board for a while now and haven't come across a thread like this yet.

My buddy is into the 240sx scene and the have all kinds of swaps , I'm not talking about motors, but swaps like brakes from a j30 to a 240, maxima afm's to 240s, or even things like dsm fuel inj, into the 240.

Anyway I thought it would be a cool thread to see what kind of things like that you guys have done. Even stuff like mkIII lips on our e30.

Basically mods that come from other cars.I thought of this because the junk yard has been my best friend while I've been trying to put my 325 back together, and i want to see what else i can get out of it:D

[roundel]

no...... no i'm not going to count that one

you looking for other bmw parts onto e30's or non-bmw to e30 stuff?

[roundel]

both. but i think everybody knows m3 5 lug swaps know what i mean?

there are way too many things that are commonly swapped out from different BMWs and other entirely different cars to answer this question - if you have something specific to ask about, do so. Otherwise you need to do some searching.

[roundel]

no i was thinking of a common list. if i needed something i would search for it.

...maybe you should search and post a list of each type coresponding links to the different threads about each one. Example:

e30 wankle power:

taurus side skirts:

right that is the idea. why i am not doing that is because i dont know about every random swap out there that is where everybody else comes in with their two cents

...hey, guess how i found that one?
























































BY DOING A SEARCH



*edit*: i found that wankle swap thread by searching for "taurus" because i was initially looking for a thread on those side skirts. you can always do a search for "cool" or "awesome" or "different" and see what it returns. ...half of the fun is trying to discover all of the different possibilities on your own and through personal experience IMO

[roundel]

oh fuck forget it
anybody can search.
but how do you search for something you don't even know exists?
thats why i thought a simple list would give everybody some new ideas

[nando]

there is no simple list - there are a billion different parts on the E30 that are swappable with other cars, and some of them have 2-5 different options depending on your tastes and budget. not to mention there are like 10 different models of the E30, and many of them are vastly different from each other (M3, cabby, touring, ix, etc).

I have Z3 shift linkage for a shorter throw...

[GaryE30]

e36 window switches
e34 gauge cluster needles
e36 vaders
most differentials
there is something about a corrado rotor with a rx7 caliper
jetta front lip
e28 m tech spoiler
z3/318ti/e30 trailing arms
e36/e30/e46..... so on rear shock mounts
I remember something about another car's moon roof possibly fitting in an e30
e46 center console mod
e36 m3 lighted shift knob
m30 afm on m20
524td exhaust manifold for e30 turbo
e36 x-brace to e30
e30 convertible front sway bar to other e30s (cabrio is thicker)

thats all i can think of at the moment
