I have purchased a E30 316 2 door late last year
I have done a fairly amount of work on it so far which includes these below
Complete re-spray
interior redone
325is suspension fitted
E36 M3 wheels

I was going to put in a E36 3.2 M3 motor but decided not to for various reasons.
I have just completed my motor swap to a 1JZGTE VVTi along with the fatboy Supra gearbox , turbo is stock for now and I plan on going big turbo at a later stage

I have attached lots of pictures
Feel free to criticize lol

Looks lovely bud. Would love to see this car when I am in Durban again.
What sort of power is it making?

Vids and power stats will be posted soon , had some small issues with the coils and then the alternator decided to overcharge at 16.5 volts .So I had to get that sorted out and will be back on the dyno soon

Ok guys , a small update , had the car tuned at stock boost and made 280hp on load with the timing abit retarded as the we could hear it pinging at 0.7bar ,we suspect its the injectors that are not delivering correctly but has the volume for around 1.4bar boost, so until i get new injectors its stock boost
it feels good though its all over the place 1st 3 gears :rollsmile:

looks good bro!

be cautious with the high boost level. they turbo has a thin shaft made of ceramic and they snap at just over 1.2 bar in most applications...
