Turbo E30 "Drift" Car

[speedminded]

autofab does some cleaaan work! very nice. i love how the turbo is where the headlight housing is, very sneaky :O

The velocity stack is an AutoFAB trademark for both N/A and Boosted E30's...it means you just won't see it for long in your mirror

[Tracy]

Gorgeous. I love that color.

IE big brake kit

I thought that kit looked familiar. I love IE's stuff. I almost bought a used turbo system stage 1 kit, that was made buy IE and TCD.

[sk8ercof316]

It has the IE big brake kit.

This kit is intended for cars with 16" wheels. Available for the 318/325 and the M3 please specify. It uses a PBR aluminum 2 piston floating caliper. The large pads are the same as used by the Mustang Cobra. Rotors are 2 piece with aluminum center (hat) measuring 310mm x 20mm with gas slots. Kit includes calipers, rotors, pads, brackets, hardware, and stainless steel braided hoses. These brakes are very effective and reduce unsprung weight. I prefer floating calipers for the E30 cars because they require less room between the wheel spokes and the rotor so are not as likely to require spacers. Also pads size is larger than similar kits with 4 piston calipers. Kit is also available with 28mm wide rotor at $95 additional cost. We also offer a rear kit for the E30's to go with our front kits. The front kit will set you back about $1200.

Let me know if you want one, just give us a call!

So, you order it from IE first?

You sure are cocky for a car only making 280whp. I can think of 10 cars on the forum that would give you a reality check really quick.

Neat car, but it's not anywhere near the fastest thing around.

Is it the fastest car around? Nope. If you want to be technical about it nothing in this state is the fastest thing BUT for the power to weight ratio of this car makes it quick plus it handles well...

Any car that is more than capable of beating up on 500hp+ Corvettes is fast compared to the majority of cars on both the street and this forum...not to mention that's on low boost

He never sad its the fastest thing around.
But it is a fast, purpose built handling/drift machine.
Don't be a d1ck, hes just enjoying his car.

p.s. yeah man low boost for now and 225/50/16 not great on traction

It depends waht you are going to put it on. m20 or s14? Let me know and we can work the pricing details out from there. What format is the set up for? (Drag, Drift, Street, Touring....)

It would be for the m20b25 engine. It would be used for street/drifting. I'll pm you the rest. Thanks.

no he wont.... its been 3 weeks now... thomas...

anyways if you piece together the kit yourself... it will cost you around 2000 or so for parts 500 for megasquirt ecu 500 for custom exhaust setup and an extra 1000 for 2.7i stroker build...

[live~sideway]

so guys i was out tuning the last little bit of the trouble out of it. i got it all clear up and was heading home and some kid in a honda rear ended me its not to bad but its still sucks.

That sounds reasonable. But, I have no idea how to tune a megasquirt ecu.

[sk8ercof316]

That sucks!

hrmm... does it look like this now??

Actually, that doesn't look all that bad. It looks like one of the first tourings.

[Dominic49]

That sounds reasonable. But, I have no idea how to tune a megasquirt ecu.

contact mike mccoy for tuning...

[Tree]

[sk8ercof316]

[live~sideway]

lol yeah exactly but nah its not to bad ill post up pics soon.

but yeah sk8er autofab can do the tuning for you or you can download the tuning software and buy the cable and your set on a laptop.

[speedminded]

Megasquirt is in Suwanee silly

[sk8ercof316]

Can you give me the website where I can get the tuning software and cable? I would probably buy a plug and play megasquirt off a guy on e30tech.

Thanks.

Huh?
