Silver Fox

Interesting question Tony, I would of thought both could be read into it if you wanted?

Will go that way in time, just want to get out and play now. Using this season as a learning curve, hope to start modding over this season and next.

standard for this season, with free flow exhaust, building a new motor for next year with some major mods.

You never know do you?

Mmmmmmm big brakes... 750i, 302 x 28 vented. Courtesy of Paul Olsen from Interpart.

Good to see Gus, fairly straight foward conversion then was it?

I saw the seats today, they look very good if anyone's interested. Good luck with the sale, a bargain.

Everything I've read says E36 M3 don't fit? Better to go E31.

Brake Upgrades - E28 The brakes listed below bolt on without any modification. This requires calipers, carriers, guide bolts, rotors and pads. You need the carrier for each brake system, usually included if you buy used. Front brake assemblies that will fit any E28: (some numbers may be slightly wrong, I misplaced my table) E28 535 282mm x 25mm vented or E28 M5 300mm x 30mm E34 535 302mm x 22mm vented E34 540 302mm x 28mm vented E34 M5 315mm x 28mm vented E34 M5 345mm x 32mm vented from 6/94 E32 735 302mm x 28mm vented E32 750 302mm x 28mm vented E31 840 324mm x 30mm Rear brake assemblies that fit any E28: E28 535 284mm x 10mm solid E34 535 300mm x 10mm solid E34 540 300mm x 20mm vented E34 M5 300mm x 20mm vented E34 M5 328mm x 20mm vented from 6/94 Unfortunately these don't work, but are here as a size reference E32 735 300mm x 12mm solid E32 750 300mm x 20mm vented The E34 Rear Brake Part Numbers to use: E34 540i / E32 740i Calipers: 34 21 1 160 399 ( part number - left ) 34 21 1 160 400 ( part number - right ) E34 540i / E32 740i Carriers: 34 21 1 160 384 ( part number x 2 ) E34 540i / M5 300mm x 20mm rotors 34 21 1 159 659 ( part number x 2 ) E32 calipers need the E32 master cylinder to work properly. If you install SS lines without bigger-volume piston'ed front calipers (IMO) the pedal ends up unacceptably 'sharp'. However, ABS equipped cars can loose some of the spongy pedal feel by using SS lines. The E32 brakes will fit under 15" wheels. These are your best choice for economy... and will be capable of handling just about anything you would do with your 535i. E32 750iL front rotors are vented from the inside rather than outside around the "hat". The 540i/6 fronts may be considerably cheaper the E34 M5 and are the same size. The stock E28 ///M car brake bias is calculated at 73% front and 27% rear. The upgrade to E34, M5 rear brake will change the bias to 66% front and 34% rear. the E28 M5 used the same rear rotors as the 535i. Which should tell you how important rear brakes are in the big scheme of things. An increase in pedal firmness can be gained by installing the master cylinder from the E-32, 750 that has a 25mm cylinder bore. I've gone 750i fronts and 540i rears.

Difference is that your's is M20, probably just an adjustment job, an hour or so and the tappets can be done. 318mouse has an M40, so it'll probably be the hydraulic lifters in hers, and may include a worn cam, meaning a lot more $$ and time.

Yeah, I guess we all see the slow down, reflects in what people are asking here as well. Speaking of the race car Alex, going to be at Puke?

wouldn't have suggested it if I knew it was you who did it Glenn....

Coincidence.....

I'll vouch for Gavin as well. Knows his BMW's, very reasonable, drives an E30 335i, say no more.

Just lucky sometimes I guess.. On the flip side, the E34 booster's the same as the E28, so no go, open to suggestions, smaller diameter booster needed.

Found them on Tme, advertised as 5 Riken mesh rims, bought for $350, got there and found they'd never been fitted up to a car, been in a showroom all their lives, 20 years, and there were now 7 rims, paid $400, got three deep dish like that one, -10 offset, and four, not so deep 20 offset, perfect for me.

New wheels for my slicks........

Goes in on Wednesday.

Car sales a bit slow are they Brian?

See it reasonably often, better coverage, and the classified only incurs a one off cost until sold.

No it's not, is the 318 manual or auto? If the 318's manual it's a little easier, not a weekend job tho. Do-able, but a few small engine bay fittings need to be added, radiator setup's different, as you have both cars it is easier, but you'd lose them both for a week or two if you did it yourself and it went well. What's wrong with the 325, or do you like the coupe factor? Quite a few 325 manual coupes out there at the moment, might be a better option?

Most hardware stores sell it, Mitre 10 and the likes, with the plumbing or bathroom stuff.

Sorry Andrew, but I don't really think that comment is racist in any way. It certainly doesn't hint at race, colour, or creed. We were all Immigrants to this fair Isle at some time in the not too distant past. Guess it shows how words can mean different things over time, but in this case I think you are not quite right.... still, I might be wrong?

For semi permanent to permanent I'd use a urethane, Sika MS or similar. Both surfaces need to be as clean as possible, best product on the market, use it all the time.

Selling a full kit minus the boot spoiler. Front is glass, needs tidyup but in one piece and structually ok. The rest is original plastic, very good cond with both sides, 4 wheel arches, and rear valance, all fill in bits, no clips. Red, but probably needs a paint. Looking for around $750 or very near offer. PM me if interested.
