Zbeka's E30 M42
« on: August 25, 2016, 05:08:15 PM »
Hello everyone

I'm Ivan from Montenegro, and I want to present my E30. Engine is M42 from E30 (135hp). Chassis is 316i, so I needed to repack everyhting related to suspension and brakes from 318is/325i. After a lot of replaced parts and bad diagnoses from car mechanics in my place, finally engine is running as it should. When the time comes for opening the engine I hope I'll have the willpower to do a stroker with some programmable electronics and itb's. Equipment in car is the smallest possible. No A/C, no power steering, no BC, no el.windows etc. Additional parts on car are:

Coil on Plug with M54B30 coils
Momo hub with Toora Grid steering wheel
Hartge 16" 7.5J et25 (6kg per wheel if I remember)
Middle exhaust free flow
Supersprint muffler
Open diff 4.27 (planing to put 4.10lsd)
KW V2 coilovers
Front adjustable strutbrace
E30 Recaro's (alcantara/leather)
Smoked Bosch headlights (replica)
Ford Scorpio front lip
440x400mm coolant from e36 m44 model with A/C
E30 M3 gear knob with M emblem
K&N Panel air filter

At the moment waiting for front camber plates and front sway bar from 325i cabrio (21mm).
In search for 4.10lsd, grey carpet, rear 325ix sway bar, supersprint manifold for m42.
Next in plan is car painting in original weinrot or calypsorot color and engine overhauling.
Here are some pictures of some parts and car. Cheers
