d.p.n.s Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 well ive owned this since november last year and after a 2600ks round trip in the past few days its home. (thanks for all the fuel donations guys it helped.) heres some pics all ive done with it is put my coilovers in the rear sofar we bit of a run down its a 1987 full cage, spear wheel well remover and plate welded in, The front guards are a combination of e34 flares and e30 guards 10mm higher and 15mm wider than factory e30 guards. . This is to allow more clearance with the low setup . Rear guards cut out and welded shut to allow for a much lower ride and wider tyres. another rear gaurd of a doner coupe has been cut down to a single layer and then made wider with dollys and hammering it(still have the drivers side to do) Front set up is e36 m3 / e36 . brake discs and calipers are of a 328i BMW. e36 coil overs. Rear set up is 318ti Twin cam . Hatch e36 . Subframe control arms and calipers and gaz coilovers castor adjustable top hats, tree house racing offset mounts Dot rated Braded brake lines, all 6 lines Manual steering rack 17x8 and 17x10 wheels brake booster has been mounted in side to allow for easyer engine mounting anyway blah blah blah heres some pics so far cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d.p.n.s Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 a charged pinto for lolz /spam fucking bingo. dont need to charge it man just the mighty power of the 2.0 is more than 1 man can take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 How about something like a 350Z V6 tucked behind the front axle line like Mikeys Z. Plenty of power, scope to charge it if required and a nice tidy package. Will still handle well with it in there too. Understand wanting scope for heaps of power but dumping something boring like an SR20DET or something in there will be so poo's. FJ's are choice, but getting hard to find and aren't exactly light.

FJ's are choice, but getting hard to find and aren't exactly light. no i dont want a sr20 man they are poo. the fj is a wee bit heavyer but not as heavy as a rb ofr the factory bmw 6 and good power to be made and easy once an aftermarket ecu is put in place. the 3sge beams is nice and light and revs well with 200 hp standard. and would be awrsome to be able to use the whole throttle all the time but i know what im like and would want more power . i have thought about a 4age turbo .nice and light ...revs well and can make good power. but im out of money now so i have to save so who knows what will pop up. in the mean time i have this and a complete e302door in parts to start building it with. i have just ordered to new rear 1/4 panels; (rear gaurd/lip) from germany so pleaty to play with.

Only one problem, you misspelled 2J, its not "RB" lols. sorry you are correct the only reason i said rb was the fact they are cheap.. but yes if a 6 was to be used that would have been the ducks nuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 These things still handle well with a light (ally block) six in 'em. It's the rear you gotta watch out for ha. Looks like a good base though, and early girl so bonus there also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 No idea to be honest, there are so many I loose count. There'd be an E30 trainspotter somewhere who'd be able to tell ya though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Looking good man! Lip above on red one looks like a copy of the e30 m3 front lip at a guess. That's a mtech 2? rear kit? You gonna run the same on front? Sweet though. F20c would rule, but prolly a lil expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
