Bretts Turbo E30

[Turbodadd]

Hey its Brett. I built a black widebody e30 and it got totalled on the freeway. I have since picked up a new chassis. It is a white widebody e30. I will post up pics and specs as the project unfolds. Hope you guys enjoy!

Here is the black car and a few pics:

I did all the body work, and paint... boy did it suck.. I took it to the salt flats in primer! yes! I did the 130 club. Someday i will go back for a record and try for over 200mph.



Love me some 1/4 mile. Best time to date is 10.9 @135mph with a 1.8 60'






Dat Assss


Wife loves it... (ya right)

Fun on the track, but needs moar oversteer... Im gonna fix that.

Little stock motor all dressed up with a header.. had to add 50hp hopefully



Anyways, thats a little insight to my stuff and what Im up to!

I will keep you posted!

Everything you learned from the black car will translate into the white beast. I can't wait... I should have bought that white car when I had the chance.

Love boosted E30's! A friend of mine has one with a 2.7 bottom end and 2.5 head running a Holset HX35. Such a fun car!

I'm glad you're still doing stuff with this car. I kind of watched your thread on R3v for a while. Good to see a nice E30.

[nsimps]

Good to see you here Brett! I remember seeing a black E30 once in Mexico once. It was pretty fast.

Lots of progress, no posting. Been in the shop for a few weeks staying till 3 am trying to get the car finished.
Seats and harnesses in

Towed the vehicle up to SLC to get the roll cage certified. It is good down to 8.50 NHRA certified good for 3 years.



I told myself I wasnt gonna waste time on cleaning the bay....




Pulled the motor from the black widebody.


Power steering delete real quick. And dropped the motor in veeeerrrry carefully!






Gonna go twins. lol

We have a few e30's being worked on... LOL


Buttoning everything up.

Boots hooking up gauges.

Took it to the track a few hours later.


Had some suspension hop @ the track, switched to stiffer springs and better bilsteins.
