Hey guys,
New to the forum. Mainly a fan of the barvarian kind, flame away, but have a soft spot for the frenchies too. I managed to snake into one of the club gatherings a couple of weeks ago and met a few of members. Was amazed at what I witnessed. Cheers for showing me a very interesting/hospitable time btw Francis.
Although I don't have a frog currently, my first car was a ubercool clam-magnet 306xsi...
Atm my cars are both bimmers; '98 e36 touring, '90 e30 coupe frankenstein...
I am however on the lookout for a saxo vts or 106 gti, maybe even a clio (longshot), one of the reasons I joined here. So if anyone has the knowhow or whereabouts of a good deal on one let me know.
Anyway I look forward to seeing and learning more of the frenchies.
Cheers!

Post up some pictures on your bmw's, unfortunately i own a pfl e30 coupe aswell as my french steed ::)
Welcome. The best place to find a cheap french car is everywhere, they are cheap.
I am partial to a BMW like I am a crazy hot ex girlfriend, I see one and think it looks fun, but have to remind myself that it wont drive as well as I remember, will break my heart and cost me a bloody fortune... oh and every other man and his black mate will want a drive it.

Welcome along! I like BMW tourings - I always wanted a M5 estate. I now have an M3 and a 308 estate, so I guess that's kind of the same thing.
What's Frankenstein-esque about your E30? V8 powered?
welcome! that 106 is lush. but if you hate yourself (like all of us on here) i have an axgt for sale too. whats the frankensteine thing? interested.
Welcomes
I can't seem to figure out how to post images atm, probably too damn tired to use my brain properly. Frankenstein or "Alice" as i like to call her is a facelift white coupe e30 with a few litres added onto the original 1989cc it came with. Shes got bits of bmw, toyota, mitsubishi, heck even some honda?? I won't shock you all too much with a description just let the pics do the talking once i get my shit together, but think m30 turbo...
I'm very interested in those 106's fellas, more so in the blue one as I'm scraping the barrel for cash currently.
Also let me know more about that ax, i almost fell in love with one i drove the other day, i don't really know why?

Tony's red e46/e30 mashup? My first was a black pfl m325 named black betty, the second a white 325 named rabbit, the third/current carried on the madd hatter theme with alice.

Ze Germans are invading!
I love how clean your E30 looks - no stupid plastic stick-on parts, and tasteful paint and wheels! And that's before you get to the turbo... 😯
Nice.
Where are the side skirts on your E30??
And shiit that must be a loose thing to drive! my standard 325 is loose enough haha.
Also whats the specs of the engine did you have to forge it etc??

Couldn't get genuine tech2 door pods so holding out for them or will just go the se/touring skirts. Both are proving hard to find, tbh it looks bloody tough with most of the tyre poking out, may just leave it.
Its a freakn menace! Tuned very roughly atm on gate pressure ie 1bar, and its either nothing or no grip. It puts a smile on your dial though... Engine is stock standard apart from fuel upgrades (pump, injectors, reg) and custom plenum. Its a late model b35 so has the low compression already 9:1. Have heard of people running 40psi through these standard with no issues???..... Although once the whole things tuned properly, shes coming out for the usual gasket/o-ring studs treatment. Blowing just under 290 hp atm but the 360nm is the fun part... I will stress its running like shit, am hoping for over 400 tuned a bit better, If anyones a mean bean with MS3 let me know!
