I'd definately be keen on seeing whats on offer with the project car comming up, BBK's especially.

After washing the car today, I was curious as to if there is any other way for removing all the water off things like the roof without letting it dry and leaving water marks. Anyone tryed using something like this? I'm currently using terry towels to dry the car but it never gets it completely dry, just moves the water around. Suggestions?

Mystro - supercharged 325? Details? :mosh:

Thats where it would be, he's got a nice install, check his link Linkage

Ah, oops, thats where it is for the E36, not sure on the 46, I'll have a search see what I can find

In the boot, left hand side on the wall behind where theres a bulge in the boot lining isnt it?

Off racing dynamics site:

You know you want to trade your 325i for it, it'd pull all the ladies...... :dot:

What, like this?

I'd definately keep it since they are rare as and look quite nice. Plenty of options open for more performance out of it, E30 DE do a M50 into a touring conversion, comes out looking stunning too

I thought that 850's run on electronically controlled suspension that are one of the many things that sharpen up when you flick the sport mode on? I really like the shape of them, but are just so hard to find a 1995-1996 or newer one since the earlier ones were a bit of a shocker electronically, however :hitit:

I was expecting mine to be worse than it is, but I only end up spending an extra $5-6 a week in gas than I did over my old Toyota 2L 4 cyl corona engine, which was also an auto. Not a bad cost with the 325.

That was most definately not what I expected....... nearly as traumatic as that bloody badger

Yea, I've got the Teckademics dvds on order with footage from them. I'd love to do it one day just for the experience but I dont think I can afford the tickets. Looks like a bloody good time, tho from what I was reading the one that has just been was problematic with too many crashes and inexperienced drivers than other years. Some of the pictures of the wrecked cars were pretty scary and lucky they came out with no serious injuries.

That really sounds like some of the guys in the Gumball 3000..... write off your nice expensive Merc in france, throw it in a salvage yard, go buy another car to keep going the same day....

E30

Insanity how this thing gets off the line.... Link

Natural selection at its finest

Umm, ow......

So what is the bottom line on ABS? I'f your talking 350-400+rwhp in a E30 with something along the lines of a brembo big brake kit, are you going to loose alot of drivability by not having it? Would it be advisable with that power to have it? the recent skim of E30's on trademe reveal next to none with ABS already fitted.

I've just been informed of a cheap E30 320 manual going locally, not sure if its worth looking at. Most people who do the M50 converison use 325's but I was wondering if going from a 320 would still be the same. How much different are the wiring harnesses between a 320/325? Do they use the same harness just different ECU or chip?

Whats the biggest tyres you can squeeze under the rear of a E30?

I would, but then again I hope to have over 450rwhp in it, so stopping is going to be a major thing, I need to do a bit more research to see what the best setup is with boosters and such for the M50/E30 conversion.

*cough* 2 grand?! how many E30's came out with ABS? are they easy to find for sale in NZ?

So, does that look like a E30 M3? or does anyone think its not? I think its the same kit that was on trade me, just applied a little bit better. So my question is, is it wrong under bimmer law to put such a kit on a turbo M50 powered E30 325 shell since availability of M3's is non existant.
