My 2 E30's...

[MikesJo]

Front, side and rear shot of the cabbie! And some interior pics of the m3 :). What suspension is on both?

[herragge]

Awesome. Thanks for the update on teh E30's. CSL's look great!

Turbo cabby looks cool too, does it have smoked ellips or is that laminx? Care to share what kind of neat things its getting done to it in the body shop?

man, nice cars!!!

You have too much money though.. wanna spread the wealth?

[M3 Ryan]

Wow, lots of questions...
M3 is on 19" CSL Wheels, 235/35's and 265/30's in back. J-Stocks/bilsteins, UUC camber plates, THR CAB's, all urethane rear subframe/trailing arms, ST bars, 25mm roll center spacers, 10mm deeper spring hats, E36 M3 front brakes...
Vert is on RD springs and bilsteins, RD sways, but I just bought the C3motorsport coilovers 500/800 for the vert. The K1's are sold, I got some Rota's for the time being, I am on the hunt for some 17x8+" 4x100 wheels... I also got the Massive front brake kit on the way to help slow this beast down.
Engine specs:
Forged JE pistons, 85.5mm bored out 1.5mm for 2.6L displacement.
Forged M50 rods, stock M20 crankshaft.
MLS Headgasket, Metric Blue head holts, all new bearings, oil pump, ect.
8.5lb JB Racing Flywheel with Spec Stage 3 sprung 6-puck clutch.
Stock transmission, 2.79LSD (swapping in 3.25LSD soon)
Megasquirt for fuel Management, Custom mapped chip for moronic to run retarded timing. I hope to run MS spark control soon..
42lb Injectors, 255lph Walbro in-tank pump, stock 3bar FPR.
T3/T4 Super T70 Ball Bearing Turbo, .84ar hot 64.5mm turbine wheel, .70ar compressor with 61mm compressor wheel. Spiel Tubular Manifold, polished 304SS and modified for external wastegate with custom 3" Stainless TIG welded downpipe.
2.5" Aluminum intercooler piping is lightweight and has front mount cooler in lower valance.
38mm tial style wastegate, 50mm blowoff valve, running 12psi daily and higher boost through manual boost controller adjustments.
Water/meth injection (not connected yet) for higher boost levels on 91oct gas.
This car is my daily driver so I built the engine a bit overkill so it would hold up for a long time. I am not running anywhere near the amount of boost this engine is capable of (should handle 24psi for short bursts, my MS is limited to 21psi right now).

The headlights are smoked euro ellips with 6500k HID's. I have clear front signals now which are not shown in those pics.

As far as what the body is getting right now... Shaved side markers, shaved washer nozzles, rolled/flared front and rear fenders, black a-pillars to match hardtop, and AlpinWeiss 3 base/clear for a cleaner looking white. The car is comming along nicely, I havn't posted much about it because I was running into so many glitches with the turbo setup and then I got hit 3 weeks after I got it running, so it has been out of commission for over 3 months now... Just 1-2 weeks before its all done.
Yea, I am moving to monterey, so I quit my job at the dealership and I have the next month off before I start work at the dealer in Seaside...

Beautiful cars Ryan, let me know when the vert is done so i can stop by and see it before you leave!

And once again i cant thank you enough for helping me out today, the car is running great again. And for the ride in your M3 ofcourse, that car is amazing!

[Ray Smoodiver]

Great looking whips Ryan

[Jand3rson]

That first shot is awesome. I'm still not a fan of the filled bumper strip channels, but overall, the M3 looks hot.

[backtrail69]

Both cars looking very clean man. Two e30s is the only way to roll.

Yea, I have had my share of cars over the last 5 years while owning my M3... I would never sell my M3, but the rest of them come and go. I want to buy a 135i next year, so I would probably have to sell the Vert... But I would need to get $12k+ for it, which shouldn't be a problem... The car will be a mint m-technic II hardtop/cabby, ~160k miles, all tricked out with 400+hp to boot... who wouldn't want it?!:twisted:

More pics...

[backtrail69]

Amazing the difference between 6500k HIDs and my 6000k HIDs on my eta. Mine looks really white, while urs are starting to turn almost greenish.

[mikeedler]

cars look great RYAN!
I never really realized how extreme you had your rear arches done. looks perfect!

[D6 DPH]

Awesome, The CSL's on the m3 look perfect.

Stunning stuff.

[KevRC4130]

All cars are amazing!

[Court M3]

not a fan of the 19s on the ///M but other than that, both cars are the shizz!!

[parkerbink]

Cars look amazing. Glad to see you back. Sorry you had another cabby incident. I hope you weren't hurt.

Good luck in the new town/job! Now Robert will have to send his car further to get you to set it up. lol
