Melon's E30 Build.

[Staszek]

Ordered my chip from SSSQuid.
Talked with Jay who asked about all my mods, that's a good sign.

7,400 RPM Redline...WOWZA.

Sounds like fun!! It's interesting I have had an S65 for so long I forget that 68-7400 RPM is very high for most cars.

6,800 is about when the cam seems to fall off, from what I've read.
The extra RPM will be nice with the 3.73 rear end when I autocross it, and go for spirited drives.

You're right. 6800 is only 300 more than stock.

That's a high redline! I opted for 6800 I think.

I read somewhere a while ago that the PNs for e30m3 fogs are the same as euros, but the brakets are different or maybe the PNs are different but theyre close enough that one can go in the others place? This was after I bought a set of beat to shit euros on ebay for way more than the going price of new m3 fogs so I never double checked to see if they were the same. Anyone got any idea here?

They look the same, but the housing the Euros sit in is part of the bumper trim. The M3 is just part of the bumper.

I'll try to get what I can from ECS, but it's been so long since I ordered them, it puts the burden of proof on me. Worst case, I'll install what I have, it's on the bumper, so I can always install better ones later down the road.

also this thing is coming along so nicely.

Thanks!

I'm glad they're being read!

How much did those euro fogs run you? Last I looked they were $tejas

Can't wait to see her all put back together!

$tejas

They're a good unit, even if they're stupid expensive.



I bought these from Classic Euro Parts too, and am genuinely disappointed.
I thought they came with a pig tail and were ready to go, but it's some cheap knock-off part that doesn't fit well, and the connectors are flimsy at best.

I'll probably ending up using them though, because either I misplaced the ones that came with the Euro bumper kit from ECS, or they forgot them all together. I'm leaning towards the ladder, because they didn't include 90% of the hardware.

:rage:

I love when I get a “Melon replied to ‘Melon’s e30 Build’” notification on my phone.

I'll go weeks sometimes without a response. It's NBD for me, this is more for myself than anyone else, but I'm glad to get noticed.

Looking sharp! Love the orange injectors to match the car, of course!
