My 88' e30 325i Touring build thread, wiretucked, ITB'd M20, Bagged.

Thanks guys :) I was a little Suss on how they would look when I ordered them, but stoked about the choice. Super happy with the overall look :) now time to try and get some power under the hood, had it on the dyno at the show and as rather disappointed... Has motivated me to aim for a bit more.

Anyway, this pic just emerged from the drive to the show :) my favorite so far.

I love the way your 318 looks.

[DER E30]

Cheers man, yep loving it. A lot better than the grip royal I had in there. More of a factory look to the interior and a lot comfier in the hands :)

It's weird how the wheel or shifter feel totally changes the driving experience isn't it? I usually drive with my driving gloves on and I drove my car a few miles without them tonight and it didn't feel right.

Next phase of the 'build' arrived the other day. Still need to get a manifold cut and welded to the throttle plate.

Am also planning on getting some head work done with a 284 cam or something along those lines. Need to speak the builder to work out the build properly still, but should be some fun when complete.

Not sure how I go about it, but any chance I could please get this thread moved to the 'project forum'

Thanks.

I like your car more everytime you update something on it.
I'm pretty interesed to see how your ITB set up turns out for this.

[DER E30]

Still a fair way off from tuning etc but should def be interesting. ITB's aren't all that common on the m20 so not a whole lot of info about setups etc online.

Thanks, Should clean it up a fair bit once installed :)

Done. :)

Thanks for that.

Thanks mate, wire tucking the e30 bay was super hard (compared to tucking the civic...) took ages to do... But worth it. Was also not that common in the e30 scene when I started tucking mine. There were a few out there, but not many. I have noticed a few builds going for the wire tuck lately though. Good to see :)

I love it!!! Sub'd

[stanhayward]

Nice touring man, sub'd cus I always love touring stuff. Mine's a heck of a lot messier than yours and I'm jealous ;)

[bmwandhonda]

Thanks guys :)

Got a set of windsplitters/fender splitters off a mate of mine (white coupe with Bbs also on these forums)

I love them but won't be to everyone's taste:

Also deleted power steering about a week ago. Took it for its first proper drive yesterday and to my surprise, the difference is really not all that noticeable. No where near as hard as I thought it would be :)
