[QUOTE="kevster30, post: 63976, member: 10"] Kevster's recipe for a well sorted E30. 1. Locate a good condition car. Preferably a coupe with nice body panels with form fitting alingment. Interior should be sound. 2. Strip it down to the shell and cart it over to a reutable panter and sort out that meticulous paint-job that you have always dreamt about. 3. Whilst the shell is at the painter's, shop for a nice M50 engine, 2.5 without the VANOS please.....Give it a head job, bluprint the sucker and look for a performance clutch and flywheel. Nice headers are a must! The rest of the exhaust can remain stock.... 4. Suspension: Bilstein sport kit, Ireland Engineering sways and struts. These I CANNOT live without. 5. Brakes: Ireland Engineering makes a nice big brake kit or else, the ATE powerdisc with some premuim JURID pads would do. 6. LSD: beg, borrow, steal.......without one, this entire exercise would be futile. 7. Get the car back from the painter's and assemble with utmost TLC, we don't wanna scuff the new paint right? 8. Wheels: Beg, borrow, steal a set of BBS 2-piece basketweaves 16" 9.Bodykit? I'll leave it stock this time round...... 10. Interior: Black Leather please........ Having gone through one E30, the next one would look stock....a wolf in sheep's clothing. I know that there are many more mods that can be added to this recipe, but this would suffice for me as it would be relatively maintainence free and would not attract the wrong kinda attention on the road.......
