M42 Goon Squad - Showoff your M42 Car

[InNeedOfBoost]

Could an e36 compact join the M42 goon squad? If so here is mine. (If not I'll remove the pictures=D)

Engine shot:

#1) Your car is sick, I have a hard time liking the E36 ti's...but this is clean as hell.

#2) What intake boot is that??

Unless you're just fishing for compliments, that car's definitely nice enough to post.

1) Thank you!
2) No. It's a road parallel to 680 around Pleasanton
3) adapted :)
4) It says "FILTHIEST" lol...dirty dirty engine bay..

The car has been a major pita. The car started as a non running p.o.s after replacing the top,motor,tranny,suspension stuff, interior and doing some raggidy body work, it's just slowly starting to head to the direction I want it to be. Still nowhere close to where I want but its a start. Trust me, it's worse in person imho

what electric fans are you guys running?

Ditched clutch fan, AC condenser, and aux fan.

E36 fan where condenser used to be, wired to the aux fan circuit (you'll need a higher fuse for this circuit).

Now the snowflake AC button is the "engine cooling" button, and you've got a fuckton of room between engine and radiator.

Pics in my build thread, search for "318ic restore".

Haha that's what I meant....it's right by Stoneridge right?

And would you mind Pm'ing me about the details on the adapters?
Like where you got them from and how much, if you don't mind?
I'm looking for a set myself...seeing a bunch for $400+ and that's a lil' outta my range.

That's so sick. Does it also bump your idle up to ~1k?

My M42 E30 318is

Hey guys.

Bought this 1990 318is about 5 weeks ago. The weather here in Brisbane has been terrible since then so I haven't taken any pictures of the car myself so the pictures are from when the car was listed for sale.

The Momo steering wheel which came with the car was ridiculously small - so small I couldn't see the gauges! That has now been replaced with a suede M3 wheel I purchased from VAC motorsports.

Plans for the future are to boost the M42 but before I get to that point I want to get the suspension and brakes sorted. I'm not keen to do it the other way around. And to that end I have a set of KW V2 coil overs on there way from the UK thanks to DC Performance.

Enjoy the pics.

I also wouldn't mind a tip on how to show the photos in the post rather than as attachments.

Great looking car mate.

Think I may have seen your build thread on ECCA?

What suburb of Brissie are you in?

I have an Ireland Engineering 16in E-fan..I used a parts store brand relay kit though...they didn't have the one I wanted. I wanted one with a probe that goes thru the fins of the radiator.

Also, can ANYONE tell me what boot that is on the TB?
