    RoadWarrior's E30

    Have had this 1990 325i for a little bit.I picked it up cheap off a guy thinking it had a blown differential but it ended up missing bolts where the guibo mounts to the transmission(weird). I got on boltdepot.com and picked up some m10x1.5x50mm grade 10.9 zinc coated bolts and nuts for 14 bucks shipped not bad imo price wise.But anyway I'm not a big fan of buying cars with modifications already but this car was to good of a deal to pass up.And he had a folder of all the receipts of most of the mods and things that where replaced by the previous owner.Also has 170k

    My plans for this car is mls headgasket, metric blues, some sort of stand alone engine management probably Haltech and all the things that go with that (Injectors etc). I also plan on getting a Holset hx40 and doing a hybrid build, and a custom ground cam. Going to try to spin this engine to 8k and make power all the way. Shooting for 400 whp stock shortblock. oh and e85

    Heres a list of whats done.

    Suspension.

    Billie sport shocks.

    Euro Billie springs.

    Vorshlag camber plates.

    Polyurethane front control arm bushings.


    Engine & Drivetrain

    Ireland racing stainless exhaust.

    Unkown lightened flywheel and bigger clutch (Pedal feels stiffer than a oem clutch,good because I planned on going FI)

    Polyurethane motor mount and transmission bushings.


    Exterior

    Black ellipsoids


    When I picked the car up and it had some things missing such as seats,door cards , and the grills.

    I picked up a fixed bucket drivers seat and a none sport black leather passenger seat.

    Also I snagged up a grill set off of ebay for 30 shipped.


    Here are the only pictures I have of it as of now.





    And here are the pictures of the previous owner.








    Let me know what you think!

                  I'll get some pictures of the interior other than missing the door cards atm its pretty damn clean. I ve added a 320mm momo monte carlo steering wheel and a black fixed bucket race seat.
