  • E30 4.2 drift car project...

    Hello, guys
    I'm from a place on the east of heaven a.k.a Bulgaria and I'm a really great fan of this forum. I've been watching threads here for a long time and finally I decided to register. But that's enough about me.
    My car is a 1989 BMW E30 325 (M50 swap) and I bought it almost prepared for track days.

    Didn't like those ATS wheels so immediately I bought a set of BBS RZ 15" and painted them

    But those were also not my wheels and then in a local forum I saw a set of King wheels and fell in love with them. The only problem was that they were 5x120. It took me 2 nights of hard work and the swap was a fact. The result was totally worth it.

    After that I modified the camber a bit..

    and started drifting..



    after a full season of torture now it's time for a deserved rest and upgrades

    Started polishing the wheels to make them really unique and I'm almost ready (I'll post them when they're ready).
    Also bought a 4.2 V8 from Audi A8 and a megasquirt engine management. It will fit in the new body with a rollcage.

    A lot of work and many sleepless nights are coming up, but I already have no time until the season starts, so I'll give my best to do it as fast as possible. Any progress will be uploaded here. Critics and advice are welcome

                    Cool. I'm polishing them too, I have them chemically stripped and cleaned next week probably so the polishing can begin

                      I thought of making them black chrome.. something like this

                      A friend of mine said he can do it but I'm still not sure.. what do you think?
                      Polished wheels are great but everybody is running polished wheels and I wanna be different

                        polish will never die my friend, i mean never will be played out, so what's the problem? and as i can see, you won't drift with the king ones...

                          I didn't use them because my car was very weak Now with the 4.2 V8 I will use them for drifting

                            If you wanna do something different with the wheels I would paint the centers (in black chrome for instance) and keep the lips polished.

                              Good luck with the swap! Keep the green centers and polish the lips
