It's "only" 172,000km - but it revs as the first day... up to 6000rpm as a much younger car! :D

We did some videos, onboard video... but this is the only one we've upoaded by now:

YouTube

I (or my brother) will post more soon :D

finally!!! Love the steering wheel, the car looks as it is in a good condition :good: Congrats and have alot of fun :twisted:

The timing belt and things that goes with it is very important to change right from the beginning its a known issue of destroyed engines of E30 :)

[TopGearNL]

Nice pics and donut Nachete!

Bigger crowd round the bimmer then the Renault :wink:

Im glad the car is performing well, it shows by the amount of pleasure you get out of it!

Dani says your a natural at drifting so I want to see some powerslides soon :mrgreen:

At the end of this month I'll change the water pump and do the timing belt... and not much later, a the suspensions, the LSD... and much more

[nachete]

Dani says your a natural at drifting so I want to see some powerslides soon :mrgreen:

Dani will upload an onboard video soon... is a 15km road, and the final is very dark with shadows and humidity. I hit some woods in one of the powerslides, you can see that in the vid :D

[sameerrao]

I like the steering wheel - it looks like a '70s CSL wheel - am I right?

[cooperluke]

the LSD... and much more

It does not have the LSD??

Wow... that makes the donut more impressive!! :D

[cooperluke]

I like the steering wheel - it looks like a '70s CSL wheel - am I right?

I think it's "just a normal" Sparco wheel! :D

Congrats on the Bimmer! Nice machine you have there, altough It seems rust as made a few damage... :P

I was too far behind in the GTT, so I couldn't see it - but you could see the panic in the passenger's face... :P :lol:

LOL!

I definately want to see it now! :lol:

Jaja, I remember...

The 4 wheels slided at the same time but I don't know why I finally could control the rear... only you can hear a small "clock", there were some woods at the top of the road :D

[cooperluke]

Ok.... mental note... DON'T be a passenger in a car with Nachete driving, I haven't seen the video, but guess the word to define it must be FEAR, lot's.... :shock:

[saadie]

nice nicee!!! 8) i love it :twisted: sweet car nachete !

left foot braking is fun ... especially when you are in a bend and you want to shift down :lol: .....
i do it alot though .. on this 8KM downhill road .. its good fun :twisted:

[ARMAN]

where is the other video? :twisted:

[ARMAN]

what are you doing right now? :mrgreen: have a time for editing? :D hehe ok :wink:

[stradale]

Nice car! The E30 325i makes glorious sounds as well! :mrgreen:

I'm curious to see what you'll be doing with it. Apart from sliding it into the woods, that is. :P :wink:

[TopGearNL]

His brother will do most of the sliding :wink: :D

[Zot09]

Mmm clean E30! Nice!

[ARMAN]

Fantastish! Love the sound of that engine! :love: gotta get me one too :twisted:

Thanx for vid and pix ;)

[TopGearNL]

Nice pics, looks like a great little meeting! :D

Thanks for the vids!

[Igorionia]

Now that's what I'm talkin about! :)
tank.u! :wink:

[Joso]

Hey! Dont mess with my super lanos!! :p


Great driving day it was!

[silentm]

^ hehe great little vid, the white one did a nice drift :P

[TopGearNL]

/\/\ That sounds like a whole lot of fun :mrgreen:

[ARMAN]

hey I know that guy in red tubbo :)

[MIHALS]

:shocked!:

wow, so many changes, so much work on it :shock:

I wonder how much all this game will cost you (your bro).....

but in the end - damn, that will be the meanest 325i I've ever seen :twisted:

just curious - I Don't have the alarm, nor the electronic locks in the door... are you sure you won't need it? :mrgreen:

[Max Power]

haha, what is that juicy fruit? :P

[TopGearNL]

Nice to see the Bimmer progression so well Dani!

It might not be a CS, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

I really like those rims! They look like they just came of a WRC! :D

Now lets hope your baby brother gets his license back soon!

[ARMAN]

Looking good :twisted:
i have same problem that those "squares" behind the left front wheel are the first things that start to rust and now I have a whole there and wet carpet all the time :? planning to fix it soon thou.

man those wheels look very nice cant see the installed on the car :twisted: are you doing all the installations yourself or someone else does it?

PM sent :)

[Igorionia]

ask him to take more pix of rust removing process :)

[silentm]

wow awesome progress on the bimmer. can'twait for more progress shots. and ouch on the rust under the car :|

[MIHALS]

so what mods are done at the moment dani? :D

[TopGearNL]

Looking Fine Dani! :D

[dutchmasterflex]

Those white rally wheels look great on the E30! 0X

[dutchmasterflex]

^ wow, that sounds like one hell of a ride.

[MIHALS]

wow, a lot of changes in a very short time :D :twisted:

can't wait for the final version :D

[dutchmasterflex]

Damn.. your bro is gonna have one hell of a BMW Rally car!

When is the roll cage coming?

[TopGearNL]

^ wow, that sounds like one hell of a ride.

Then wait for the:

* M3 LSD
* Gtrac short-ratio M-Sport gearbox
* 16in wheels - quite possibly... to fit the
* M3 E30 brakes

:twisted:

Sounds great!

Your brother must be working 24 hours a day now in order to buy all that stuff :lol:

[ARMAN]

holy cow this looks very good :twisted: 16" would look much better imo but as it is for rally i think 15" are better :D

[ARMAN]

this makes me think of selling my 1,8 and buying 2,5 :| or changing the engine wich cannot be done legally by papers here :x I'd switch it withing 3 days if it would be legally doable.
No outside footage? :P I want to see some action from outside of the car :twisted:

those wheels will look killer on R5 :twisted:

[TopGearNL]

holy cow this looks very good :twisted: 16" would look much better imo but as it is for rally i think 15" are better :D

16in are definitely better - since they allow you to use bigger brakes...

Now he's trying to sell those 15in Braid to me - for my GTT... and I really like the idea :wink:

BTW - here's the vid I promised:

:arrow: YouTube

Not the best E30 action you've ever seen - but the sound from the inside is pretty good... for a stock exhaust. Wait for the straight pipes he has in mind :twisted:

Thanks for the vid Dani, sounds allright to me! :D

[silentm]

M3 POWAH :twisted: great video thx :)

if your bro keeps driving like that, no wonder he'll loose his driverslicense :P

btw next time you make a movie, would you care to polish the windshield where the camera will be filming?

[dutchmasterflex]

Some nice roads there ;)

Looks like the car handles pretty tight. Would love to have a go in a E30 and a custom suspension setup..

Hope to see a little more action in the future.. Maybe a visit to a parking lot?

[dutchmasterflex]

Damn I want my E30 already! Still looking.. but boy does your bro's car look great.

Any plans on turning one of those headlights into an air intake?

[dutchmasterflex]

Yeah I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to have an open intake like that on a rally car. Although I've seen that installed on a few track E30s.

Fog light vents to the brakes seems like a great idea though.

[ARMAN]

i see the front bmw badge is damaged exactly like mine :) now we want to see some outside action vid :P

[Erez]

the "M" is on the wrong side :P :lol: :wink:
