New e30 on the block (Intro)

[MrK]

Hello all,

I've been a 'lurker' on r3vlimited for quite a while, but now that I have an e30, I figured I'd 'come out'

Little intro: Living in Lebanon (the country), I just got my hands on a CLEAN e30 (no accident damage ANYWHERE, original--albeit faded-- Diamondschwarz paint, and a relatively good engine). It's a Euro-spec 325i Touring.

So far I've added a cold-air intake, long headers, custom-mapped chip, schrick 304 degree cam, schrick performance valve springs, high-compression forged pistons, LSD from an m-technik, uprated clutch disk, and HID headlights.

I plan on doing further bottom-end work in the near future when funds are available, to make it a 2.7. It's new rev limit is 7500, and gets there REAL easy :up:

Well that's me... and my e30. Damn these cars are good lol.

I have a couple questions though:

1. Does changing the DME from 380 to 173 harm the car in any way (I couldn't find a good chip for the 380)?
2. Why is the Schrick 304 considered a race-cam? I find it quite driveable in bumper-to-bumper traffic...

Regards,

Mr. K

[MrK]

I KNOW I KNOW these are not taken during the "golden hour" of taking photos, but I overslept and woke up after sunset



Anyways, here's what I could come up with in the pitch-blackness:











Better? :)

Looks nice. My motor hated running on an air filter setup like yours. I reverted to the K&N panel in the stock airbox with true cool air and it runs much better.

Nice ride! That's a crazy number plate, there's a lot of shit on there!

How about some daylight pics? Looks very nice on initial viewing.

To the gentleman in the silver 328is

Jordan, with all due respect:

As I've said I have lurked here quite a while before becoming registered, and I've always found your posts useful and informative. So you can say I've learned alot about you, and I even respect you some.

However (and this is a big However), you don't know ANYTHING about me yet. You should know that I don't lie. Period. You can either just believe me, or just wait it out and notice that I don't. Up to you. None of what I say is "B.S." and if I think something may not be true I'll introduce it as BS.

My rpm limit is 7.5k. NOT B.S.

(noob to the forum, not noob to e30s)

And for the rest, thank you very much for your input so far. This is one of the most mature forums of ANY type I've seen in a while.
