Spent a few hours cleaning sanding the mating surfaces. Also sorting through parts to make sure this e30 will be ready. [ATTACH][/ATTACH]

Some Progress

Alright guys, I took a break because school was taking my time due to graduating in a few weeks. Finally put some bits on.

Coming along. I wonder what Tsuchiya thought of the E30? I know he raced in an M3 on a couple of occasions.

So you have roads that are truly touge? Gonna boost the car?

It's getting there. Once my funds open up more, the e30 will progress further. I mean Tsuchiya like the FR platforms ,so the e30 seems acceptable haha. I have some roads in mind that I would consider touge-like,but autocross and track are predominant around my area.

Hopefully some work gets done

E30 has some new shoes now. TRM C1s with 225/50/15 kumhos.

Small Update

I ordered a 100$ worth of nuts and bolts from BMW. I have another order to place tomorrow for the motor. Coilovers should be welded sometime this week along with rebuild front and rear brakes. I've been getting comfortable with an e36 m3 for the past few days. I'm longing for my e30 now.

I like where this is going!

BTW,where did you get those lights? that looks like a nice upgrade...

props on the build!

sub'd!

I like to consider the E30 as the german version of the hachi-roku:
they are at home on winding, technical roads.

What's that silver wheel you have next to the trm c1's above? looks kinda like a rota of some sort?

Also be sure that your intake manifold is the i version that came with the 885 head: it's supposed to flow better than the eta intake manifold. You probably know that; but always helps to be sure.

The lights were purchased from a friend/forum member yahh_ who retrofitted them with morimoto parts.

I agree with the hachi-roku comparision, and I'm excited to take this car to autox. The silver wheel is an SSR Type C wheel that becoming a hose reel or table. The i manifold is hiding since it was just painted.

Autox this past sunday

I saw this 325i run while working the 4th heat and can't wait for the old girl to ride alongside it. Only 2 e30 ran that day.

[thatphysicsguy]

hah I thought that wheel was familiar I run a set on my 30.

These cars are a blast in auto-x!

Ah,really now. I had an opportunity to run ssr type cs, but the offset was a bit too high.
