M42 e30 rally car from Moscow

Postby B_Technic » Thu Feb 11, 2010 12:26 pm

Hello guys.
Finally I found a time to post some about my e30. In spite of my terrible English I should try to be understandable.
I bought it in the end of 2008. It was 2 door 323 87`. I had bought it as a blank for rally car.
Why e30? It was the only popular light rwd car with competitive engine. My first rally car with cage was the 82` Lada 2105 ) and I am much obliged to this car for making me a rwd rally fan.
I sold it in 2008 because of the weak body. It was a light, powerful and reliable car ( 1.8 l forged pistons, 47 mm itb, ported head. 8 shock-absorbers, forced suspension, cage, etc.)
there it is

So back to e30)
I disassemble in autumn of 2008 it then my friend made a cage. Also then a bought an engine and gear box from 318is.
Then a had a trouble with my co-driver, and I lost a job, so my bimmer stayed in the yard for a year.
This autumn I `ve started to assemble the engine and the car.
There is some early photos.
what it was

It looks like you're doing a grand job! It looks great painted. :D
What plans do you have for the car, are you sticking with tarmac or are you going to play on the loose?

i`m going to start in differnt russian rallies (club rully, russian rally cup and maybe some championship events)
in Russia mostly we have a gravel and snow rallies, and only 3-4 tarmac events in a year.
I have two different suspension for tarmac and gravel.
This one for gravel.

Autosport is not so popular and developed in Russia as in Finland or in UK for example.
Mostly we have a gravel rallies and only a few tarmac events.
There is a three steps of rallying in Russia:
- national racing series of club rally. For poor pacers))) ( little distance – 1 day and less 90 km of distane, humane contribution (i`m non sure that it is correct in English) and … rough and mostly boring SS). – the budget of weekend is about 1000-1500 $ (with out technical support)
- Russian rally cup – next step, more distance –about 100-120 km, more money to pay, more interesting roads, - the budget of weekend is about 2000-3000 $ (with out technical support)
Some gallery’s of club rally and rally cup here
http://www.clubrally.ru/component/optio ... temid,222/
http://www.clubrally.ru/component/optio ... temid,223/

- Russian open rally championship. For oligarchs)) Only international classification (N4, N2 , R… etc but we don’t have group A including WRC cars), a few days of rally and best roads in Russia - the budget of weekend is about 4000-10000 $

I`ve heard that the rear suspension is the week point of e30…. So I tried to make it as much reliable as possible.
here is my rear arms with some modifications.

I have put there the pillow ball (ball joint) instead rubber

what do you think? would it be useful or not?
I think many of forum members have great experience in building rally e30, so I will be very grateful for any consultation about making my bimmer more solid and faster.
Also I have made additional point of reducer and rear beam fixation, i`ll show it later.
