Hey Guys,
I've been gone for some time from the E30 game. In that time I became a license BMW technician. About 4 years ago I tried to get back in by purchasing a pretty much rust free 84 325e. I didn't have the room for it and let it go for super cheap to a buddy at work. I regretted it, but c'est la vi. Last year they hired a new guy at work and through conversation he mentioned he had a E30. Long story short, he ended up buying my E30 off the guy I sold it to. Between the owner after me and him, they did quite a bit of work. I told him if he ever wanted to get rid of it, I'd pick it up off him. Again long story short, I ended up picking it up.
The low down:
84 325e 5 spd coupe
Black with a primered fender
ESM 17" LM reps
Recaro CTR seats
MOMO Drift wheel
RX7 Turbo II front brake conversion from Massive Lee
M20B27 Bottom end with M52 crank
885 head with head work
ARP studs
Mishimoto FMIC
Precision 6262
Turbosmart 44mm External
VEMS V3 stand alone.
3.73 LSD
It runs and drives. Needs a bunch of small things fixed like the head liner installed, passenger window fixed. The wiring is a bit of a disaster, I'm ordering a universal harness from VEMS to sort it out. It also doesn't have a IACV setup which is kind of annoying, I need to get that sorted out. It comes with brand new H&R sport springs and Bilstein sports which will be installed. I'm planning on wrapping the car too, I was thinking dark flat grey.
The car is basically going to be a street car. I want to pick up a set of M&H slicks and dial the car in for street launches. Right now on 8psi it boogies pretty good. The engine came from another car, in that car it made 440whp on 26psi. I want it back at that, I'll tune it myself.
I'll update with more progress as I go along.
