My e30 DTM car copy build

[Zyth01]

I think we all have seen the powers of meth first hand by viewing this thread. It started out looking like a good project, kind of backyardish style of bending the tubes but no biggy. Looks promising, an example of text from the first post:

Ive had my e30 for over two years, it started life as a 325es.

Punctuation and grammar looking pretty good, not perfect, but definitely legible.

The mods got weirder and weirder, hack jobbing became par for the course.

And a sample of text from his final post:

Ive been pritty bizzy latly with work and all but ive worked on the car a bit.

Simply put, meth is a hell of a drug. And this guy is probably either dead from an overdose, or huddled in a crackshack out in the woods somewhere.

Ive been pritty bizzy latly with work and all but ive worked on the car a bit.

I got the motor centered and mounted vertical its 14 inches back from where the front of the engine bay it, and about 5 inches from my dash bar, which is what i planned for.









Everyting moutned so cleanly im very happy with the results. The tube is 1" .125 wall 4130 and a 3/4 bolt fits inside like a glove. ANd i know it will hold the motor just fine.

Heres what i have planned for the turbo set up. The intercooler will be moutned vertical, ducked in from the kidnys, and then out the hood. The rad will be V mounted and then also ducked out the hood, and i will be running the flossman undertray.

The charge piping should be less then 3" inches a side too.



Summer is around the corner so i need to get ready for some serious fab so i redid the garage to.



I love my plasma, it has really increased my fab speed. And it has saved me a shitload in cutting consumibles.
