FKNFASTM5's E30 Build.
Hey guys, been on the forums for ever even though haven't had an E30 in a few years. Finally got back into one recently that seamed like a great deal at the time, but as usual, didn't turn out that way.
Its a 4 door slicktop with roughly 100k on it. Leaks PS fluid like its its job, has a small crack in the dash, and is sloppy as all hell on the road as of now. Overall though, the car is pretty solid, fired right up, and gets me around (illegally) when im in the mood to defy the law.
In any event, this is a place, more for myself than anything to keep all pictures, write-ups, and debauchery in one place. If you ever have any questions, concerns, hate mail, keep that shit to yourselves (i keed)
Owning this car and not having it on the road yet has allowed to me to accumulate some parts. So far:
-A friend works at a local dealership and got me an IS lip for just over $100.00 with clips.
-Pops has a spare race motor from his Zcoupe, its a freshly built M50 with ferrara valves, and some other goodies.
-Ive also been working with Openroad Tuning to get this thing laying frame ( i know, all the purist will be pissed... o well. Not your car)
I've been accumulating all the swap parts slowly but surely with nothing left other than an M20 starter/flywheel combo as well as a E36 325 driveshaft.
Id like to thank the old man, John(forcefed), Danndy@BMW and all my VW friends that are/will be helping with this ongoing project.
I still have my GTI, although it is stock and most likely getting traded in for an E46 M3. But well see... But heres some pics for clicks of the GTI when it was nice..
The beginning.
SO, the plans include but are not limited to:
1.Getting this motor in sooner than later
a. Possibly adding some boost before install if $$ allows.
2. Strap in the air ride
a. System is already plumbed. May give hardlines a try, well see.
3. Get my konig seats out of the old BT 944 re-wrapped
4.Entire suspension rebuild (thanks Blunt)
5. A million other things
Oh, and if any locals ever want to lend a hand with anything, my fridge is habitually stocked with as much beer as possible, free bottle specials as well as dominoes and hurricane wings on speed dial.
Lastly, thank you guys for all the info you've put on here and the wealth of knowledge and helpfulness of most of the members here.
