good stuff lad she be a cool oul bus when ur done you shud try get an e36, m3 or z3 rack for it they are only 3.7 turns lock to lock iv got an m50 power stering pump and lines here also got a full e30 power steer setup here you can have to make it work rhd racks go for around 50-70 euro here id recon youd pick up a lhd one the same or cheaper and you wont even have the prob modding the manifolds!!

you prob no all the bits for castor e46 wishbones with e30 m3 esentric bushes and e36 m3evo top mounts for camber, also z3 gear lever is the best short shifter!! and only 60 off bmw!

how did the vids from goldstone come out id like to see how close we got that time i spun!! lol

I've actually got no interest in fitting power steering to it, it'll probably take my fingers off when drifting but at least I'll get a coupe of extra ponies from not running a pump.

I don't want to run too much castor either so I'll probably just fit the M3 rear wishbone bushes, have camber sorted already

I sold that engine day one to the first lad - Kieran, the lad doing the M5 conversion for Stephen and it is a dinger! ( I also supplied stephen with the M5 bits) Some power when it was in the 525iS. It was easily the quickest sport i had out of about 10 in total.

Should tip along nicely in that E30!

Less of it, sure brakes are only for wimps anyway I shouldn't have bothered with a servo at all

Anyway I was let down this evening so with no engine crane the 6 cyl isn't in yet.

Some wheel pics in the meantime to keep Si happy !

Set of 15x8 XXR's I picked up in the states for fack all, ended up being far to shiny and clean for this E30 so they're on the corolla for now.


My mate Johnny down in Portugal was selling these and I snapped them up, 14x8 0 offset



Ended up costing almost twice as much as the XXR's but it had to be done, suit the car perfectly

[Jay Rockett]

Those wheels are coooooooool, put one on the car quick! Savage project too, that'll be a right yoke with the 24valve!
Lovin the title!

Those XXRs need to be in and around my Shuttle!
