Takin' it easy: an Aussie E30
EZE30
Engine:
M42B18, stock as a rock aside from some advance on the intake cam.
Exhaust:
Aftermarket cat-back that has seen better days.
Suspension:
BC Racing BR coilovers all-round.
Wheels:
16x9 et15 Borbet Type-T
Modifications:
Minimal aside from suspension and wheels.
Stereo Audio / Visual:
Aftermarket head unit that was in the boot still boxed when I bought the car, Rockford Fosgate 4in speakers in the factory mounts.
Estimated Power:
100kw (in 1990)
Hey guys, been a member on this site for a while but never posted any of my cars before. This is my third car, always wanted an E30 since my parents bought one new in Switzerland when I was born. This was theirs:
Wheels were a lucky find from a S|W member who didn't need them. They were badged as Alluetts when I got them but after some research discovered they are Borbet Type Ts; I liked the Borbet centre-cap more so I replaced them. Coilovers were bought new from a distributor on Boostcruising and I couldn't be happier with them, they go lower than I could possibly need them to and drive beautifully. Drove around for a bit with them wound as stiff as they would go but softened them all a bit 'til it was comfortable. Interior was a bit second-rate when I got the car but not long after I bought it I set about replacing all the worn-out and broken bits with shiny new ones.
Future plans include a decent exhaust, a turbo (once I'm off my P plates, 3 weeks to go!), an E36 steering rack and some more cosmetic stuff (window tint etc.).
Anyhoo I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking, I hope you guys love my car as much as I do.
