Abit's 318iA m20b30 + pssycat cam and more...

yes and no... of course, let's be honest, everyone wants more and more poweeer :D
but in reality engine started to make piston slap while cold, i believe 2 years already now? so I decided that I should mend it, and make something different :)
yea, i thought about that many times, but it's not cheap upgrade at all, maybe some day there will be ITB's, but that's not in nearest plans for this car.

So going for a cheap 3 litre stroker? Let me know how it goes! Any idea on how long until done? :D

[abit]

Got tired of the 2.8? Might I suggest going ITBs if you want to stay N/A? Would give a GREAT boost of power with the extra stroke.

yes, it's going to be something about 3 liters m20

90mm m57 crank
135mm m52/m54 rods
and m54b25 pistons
84mm bore

[Northern]

84mm crank with ~86mm bore?
or 89.6mm crank with 84mm bore?

[efficient]

It's going to be a 3.0 m20?

[abit]

let's stroke dat shht lil bit up :devil:


dayumn, just noticed, my post count... right there i'm going :D

[abit]

kinda winter started here in Latvia, so car gone to winter sleep
lil bit snow :D


buut then, incidentally bought new wheels :D
Intra's 16x9
and actually I'm very pleased
In life looks even better...of course

Stay tuuund

[litu]

Dam that red one looks cool...What is that white e30, looks interesting :)

[abit]

As I noticed before, participated in some local forum track day, damn, so much fun :D
preparation ;D


good enough


first mounted some shitty rubber and we are ready :D


so... some driftin


and later some time attack


nice race/stance :D


@ afterparty with some old bangers :D


something like that, enjoying last season weeks :( :D

[abit]

wanna some short shift, oh yes, why not... :D
old one out..


oh my ;D :D but I have to say, that I will definitely redo It, it will be shorter in interior and top will be copy of late models classic gear knob :)


actually now it's pretty much copy of what I made for my race/fun car


my e36 316 (m43b16) rally edition, 4.27weldie, shortshifter, oil pan shield, stiffer suspension(mostly 6cyl oem springs, 6cyl shocks at front, at rear some stiff plaza shocks, sway bar), and Its ready to fill you up wit fun
now riding with some kumho r800 tyres, crazy :D




badass :D


still... we have to reduce body roll, that's for sure


mmmm :D guaranteed limited slip :D:D


also mounted slicks for e30, for upcoming local forum season closing event, will see, how car will be handling with them, before that I used slicks only in front, when done some driifting..

Wing + gurney is aftermarket product made of fiberglass in Lithuania (Baltic states), and It wasn't perfect at all :D
many man hours was spend to make it fit, spoiler surface was wavy, gurney don't wanted to fit in all positions, and of course, because regular e30 trunk is like arched, but m3 straight, you need to shave off, and somewhere add material, to make It fit to trunk perfect :)
Thanks!
...somewhere at start, trying to attach it to trunk..

Thanks man, love the way it looks. I'm also tempted to go ahead and buy a pair of replica M3 front + rear bumpers, they look absolutely phenomenal when put on right. Love that you also use and abuse the car, how it's meant to be once you've put this much time and effort in.. A+

[abit]

I agree, except those zip ties irritate me everytime I see them. :hitler:

Sorry mate, next year there will be no zip ties on front lip, I promise :D
I hope there will be m bumpers...

Where's the wing / gurney from? DTM? Was it a perfect fit, or did you have to adjust it a little to get her perfect? Love your car so much man. Literally everything you want to do you have done, it's awesome.

You have done amazing things with this car. That M50 engine management is rather interesting to me.
