    Another E30 From Romania

    Hi guys decided to show you my car, i hate the romanian forums not professional enough.
    So my E30 is an 88' model 4 door sedan, got it in the summer of 2011 as my first car with a lot of work needed to be done. It was a 320i sedan late m20 engine non lsd electric front windows m-tech steering wheel m-tech 2 wing pretty much nothing interesting




    I just got the car after having my license suspended and only drove it 6-7 days that summer than for 3 months i just got to look at it or be in the passenger's seat. After i got my license back i tried to drift it around a corner at a light and beeing a non lsd it went over and i went under a f*ing parked kia.

    After i tried to fix it myself it looked like this

    It was winter time so i decided to paint the whole car and do all of the body work also new hood and body panels new front end suport thing don't know what it's called in english







    After having the car painted i was getting tired of my rims and resprayed and polished em

    Previously i spend all my saved money and changed all the bushings and pivots shortend shock absorbers and hardened em. Put in a 4.10 lsd got a tan sport interior changed all the belts oils the car was in tip top shape all that was left was to swap that 80bhp m20 for something much more ok.
    Found a m52b28 engine on another e30 and got fooled that it would be ok to take that engine so i wouldn't have to swap the sump engine mounts and everything else, the only mod the engine had was a m50 intake.




    Got the engine pulled it in the car after 2 days of work and i tried to add coolant. I was pouring the coolant in and herd a raining sound, i didn't know what that was about till i check under the car. I didn't even turn the engine over and water was pouring out the tail pipes:letitout:. The dude that sold me the engine ripped me off. Took the engine apart at the shop where i fixed my car Turbotechnik garage i found that the head gasked was blown at cyilinder number 6 and the threads in the engine block came out with the head bolts. I was furious, found an m50 block swapped everything onto it and pulled it on the car


    The car ran poor couldn't idle on it's own, left it overnight returned the other day and the starter engine could not turn the engine over and it skipped, took the ingnition coils out of the engine to see that the combustion chamber was full of water. Got mad the second time took the engine apart again and changed the head. The only head laying around was a m52b20. Put that in engine started ran fine except with some small shaking problems because vacuum and cam sensor. Changed all that and still i'm having some shaking problems but that's false air getting around my throttle body. The engine now is a m50b25 engine with 2.8 internals and a m52b28 head with huge compression
    Now the car is in winter mode with OEM suspension 15 bbs basketweaves winter tires, just waiting for the summer.
    Plans for this summer are:
    JOM Suspension (i know it's crap but i don't have money for anything else)
    Swap the wheels for some 17's or get something more interesting
    Redo the interior.
    Today i changed the whole exhaust from straight pipes into a supersport exhaust to a full 324td custom made exhaust that came on really well pure engine sound.
    Waiting for you guys to tell me what's what

                              I have noticed that in Romania people always put the eyelids on their cars? Any particular reason why that is such a large "fashion" over there in the e30 scene?
