My first e30! Daily driver turned into show car

[Blackout]

I have a feeling that your car is going to set the mould for a perfect E30 dream build.

about the rotors, as long as the vanes on the rotor are positioned correctly (expels air outwards as wheel moves forward) then youre fine. its a misconception to determine the rotation of rotors based on their slot/drilling pattern.

edit: awesome car btw. coming along nicely in such short of a time.

I should be good then lol. They work perfectly. Thanks!

Great e30! Looks like you have a gift with cars. Just wondering by the looks of the pic more for my reference than yours... but are your front slotted rotors installed on the correct side?

Thank you! And good eye. I didn't even notice! They do seem to be on backwards. Bought the car with them already on. Ill be swapping them back around when I install the camber plates.

Dude I love you! It's good to see someone building something that I dream of! Looks so good man!

Thanks man! lol I'm flattered. It's something I have always wanted to build as well.

Just stumbled onto your thread mate. E30 is coming along very nicely indeed. Have to say your EK was amazing, Flawless in pretty much every way :)

Like you I came from the Honda scene, was modding hondas for about 7 years and then blindly made the switch to e30's lol Although I do still have my civic, it is a full time trackcar now but now also own two e30's.

Like you i bought the e30 to keep it mildly stock but things got out of hand pretty quickly :/

This is my trackcar, DIY apart from tuning:


Anyway, keep up the good work mate, e30 is looking great :) also, love the fact you have stayed with legit wheels and haven't fallen for the darkside of reps like so many others i see in the e30 scene (and honda scene for that matter...) those Rs look spot on.

Thanks mate! I saw your e30 build thread as well our cars look familiar .
Ya i remember your car built b20v you always posted it on nwp4life i used to be a member there lol I hear you on the legit wheel part. Ive always wanted a pair of rs's so i went ahead and bought some because now i have a car to put them on. :D

That thing is mean looking! :up:

Love this build. If your E30 ends up anywhere close to as clean as your hatch it will be incredible. Looks great so far.

Also put in the rear spacers and a new car battery. Much better no more wheel well gap now Im at a 16x9 +1 and no more crap battery that dies all the time. Finally starting on the dash install Sunday. Wish me luck! Will post pics when I'm done.

UPDATE!!! So I finally had some free time to work on the car so I installed the euro hella smilies on.

[e30abe89]

Just realized i never posted an engine bay pic lol So here is one.Teal valve cover is going on my bros IS. Nothing crazy just a k&n drop in wrinkle black intake manifold and exhaust manifold. fuse box is replaced now with a mint one. M3 oil cap car has an IE catback as well and chipped ecu.
