Alpine m30 336i e30 (2013)

Big changes starting today-

[obrian]

Yeah buddy, that looks serious!

[Jb325is]

Auto-x was cancelled, didn't hear about it until I'd already mounted my Hoosiers though. Might drive it around a little today before I take them back off. 15x8 TR Motorsports, 12mm spacer in the front to clear struts, 245/580R15 Hoosier R80 Slicks

[LJ851]

Nice #'s man.

Rip it up at the autox !

Put the car on the scales at work today just for fun.. I am going to try to do an autocross this weekend so I wanted to see where the cross-weights were. I was surprised by the weight, I though it would be heavier.



This is with m30, back half cage, stock carpet/padding/dash, no a/c, and 1/4 tank of gas.

Also got new tires on the Azev's and they're back on the car for now, I'll try to clean it up and get some good pictures this weekend.

sub'd late to the party but man it's a great build.

[Jb325is]

Looking great J!

Nice to see you making progress on it. It's been a while!

Thans man!

Really shitty picture but I got the wheel I'd been wanting for years installed today. I think I need to space the rack and the wheel as it's a little awkward to drive with right now, but I really like the look.



Next on the list is rear subframe removal/modification and all new bushings, new tires for Asev's and scale/corner balance/align

Looking great J!

Nice to see you making progress on it. It's been a while!

[Jb325is]

Thanks a lot! Hopefully I'll have some new wheel and tire updates soon :)

Just found a single 3" inlet Vibrant muffler with dual 3" tips locally, hoping to start on the exhaust after I get back from Road America next week. It's single 2.5" all the way back with a mangaflow now, it much too raspy the way it is now and I think 2.5" is a little small also.

I've been driving the car a good bit the last few weeks and I am completely addicted again. The AKG shifter is one of the best modifications I've ever done to any car! Already have a couple issues though.. My RF hub, brand new FAG brand (Redline re-packed) feels like shit and I've got a LR hub going bad as well, but I have never replaced the rears so no surprise there. I think I'm going to do both rear hubs and drop the rear subframe for new bushings and a good cleaning, possibly add a toe and camber kit to the rear. Can anyone give me any suggestions for rear bushings? I'm going to get AKG stuff, just not sure which ones. Subframe, diff and rtab's.

your e30 is one of my favorites on this board, great work.

[325ix]

Your car is almost exactly how I imagine mine being at some point.

[Jb325is]

I drove the car to work today and holy shit I can't believe I've let this car sit so long. Makes my m5 feel completely sluggish. Replaced the exhaust gaskets, took some camber out of it and re-set toe, and swapped my TR motorsport 15x8's with R1R's. The Azevs look great but have old shitty tires on them and there is a huge lack of selection for 16" tires. I'm thinking about selling the Azevs and running adapters and my staggered throwing stars for the street, then keep slicks (I have a bunch of 245/580/15 Hoosiers) mounted on the TRM's



Next on list-
-make 3" exhaust from headers back
-Re-work timing map on the dyno
-Drop subframe to replace bushings and clean/paint undercarriage

[Jb325is]

Thanks! It's good to finally be able to work on it again, I didn't realize how much I missed it!

How do you like that shifter? Car is looking great however I only see one bucket in your wash methods. Tisk tisk ...

Yeah, I'm slacking. It's been sitting forever though, 2 bucket won't do anything for it. Shifter is awesome, I'm pretty sure it'll be hard on the transmission but I like it a lot.



Tonight I removed all of the sound deadening other than whats under the carpet. Can't believe how much weight that is! I also spliced my heater core hose for the temp sending unit for the autometer gauge and found that I'm not getting circulation through there. I think the heater core might be clogged or something. I'm going to try to loop the hoses tomorrow and maybe mount the sending unit elsewhere

[evandael]

i really really like your car.

[JCarp90]

I have the same shifter and love it. Love your car! Always wanted a ride in an M30 swapped e30.
