A few updates.

someone inovate and do a fucken v8 already.....i am sure you can pick up a nice 540 from an E34 at a decient price.

The v8s are practically at a 90 degree angle, strut towers on e30s wouldn't be to keen on that one.
I was going to do a v12 E34, but this m3 came up that i couldn't pass up, and i later heard from somebody my dad knows who just did an m70 e34, and said he wouldn't do it unless he was paid $40,000, it was that much of a bitch.

v8 fits between the struts perfectly fine.
the headers hit the frame rails, thats the bigger problem.

If I was going to do a V8 it wouldnt be a BMW motor anyway. :?

For the ompaloompa from Jersey.

Clicking on pics = 56k death






Yeah I know that the interior shot is shaky. I didnt have time to put up the tripod inside the car.

My new desktop background:

BTW Ryan, what size tires are you running? Those are 16" wheels, correct?

[Ryan Stewart]

Yes. 245/45r and 225/45f I think. I check when I go to get my car today. I know the widths are right but the 245 might be 40 sidewall.

[Brew]

Sickest e30 ever. :shock:

[C ///M]

No 245/40R16 tires exist. But everyone knows how I feel about oversized tires. Love the meaty look.

Exactly my feelings too, that's why I wanted to know. His tires looks PERFECT to me. :D

[Ryan Stewart]

Then they must be 45 series. :D

It probably adds to the rake of the car. I will probably go to the 225s all around on the SSRs, the tighter sidewall is a bit better on the track and worth the tradeoff in contact patch.

Hopefully I'll have her back on the road Wednesday at the latest.
