Ace Of Spades

We have guessed the power to be around 350-400whp (Just comparing of others with similar mods) The problem I'm having is that i would like at a minimum to have 300mm rotors up front with some nice big calipers but would like to run 16" wheels (Not a huge fan of 17" on an e30) The rear's would be done as well as the master cylinder and brake booster (need a smaller one any way). With the added weight taken into account as well I have come to a decision that I have no F**king idea and would really like some help. Have spoken with a few people who have done the same engine swap/bits as myself, one is running the rx7 swap and 16" wheels and has said that he runs out of brakes quite easily on the track. The other is using the e36/z3 5 stud swap and 330i rotors/calipers and 17" wheels but still reckons he would like/need more brakes if he were to track it regularly. Any info, Opinions or advice would be awesome

I am slowly building a "fun" e30 (was 325i) with a few go fast bits to do alot of street use and a little track day action, and have a few questions about brakes and weather or not a big brake upgrade is better compared to a 5 stud swap, (cost, easiness, wheels) I currently have a set of rx7 brakes but i don't think there going to hack it. We think I will be adding around 150ish kgs to the engine bay and easily doubling the horsepower (probably a lot more). The main question I have is if I do the 5 lug swap will 330i e46 brakes be big enough? or would the 540i/750i 4 lug swap be a better option? Also would love to here any other advice as well. Very new to this side of performance and I would like to be able to stop if I go a bit fast on the track. Cheers Sam

Hi Lads and ladies Just helping out a mate and was wondering where/what website is the best for bmw electrics? The Part in question is the rear parking sensor ecu for a 120i e87 Cheep would also be nice. Cheers ace

Well then if your worried about cost keep it standard and try find a mint/good one from a wreakers, put that in and in your own time rebuild the one you have now.

thought so as well, but has got a rear tray so why i thought hilux If it is a patrol should be very easy to find

deffintly hilux, front solid axle, so early model

Would you do any performance work to it? or just back to factory?

Hey guys, unfortunately we're loosing the flat and was wondering if anyone had a spare garage spot i could rent for a few weeks for the lovely e30... I will be based in howick, east auckland, so kind of looking for something around that kinda area. Am willing to pay for the spot and you will be able to see the project if that tickles your fancy.
