Ratio ??? small alloy tag on the rear housing

I have it all ....give me a call... because I cant give it to you straight away... its all on the project mock up car

+1 What the hell are these guys on ?? Solid suspension will not get a WOF let alone a Cert BTW..there is no such thing as solid suspension... if its solid you dont have it..

God knows You could be the forum "dummy" and let us know....buy & try... or just dont bother.. an oil & filter change would probably be more benificial. Cheers Glenn

I also like music

I have to totally agree with all of Will's comments and the others who are looking at this thread with safety and sencibility a focus of the discussion...the law is the law...no exceptions. I also agree with "why would you f**k up a prestige vehicle that BMW AG has spent millions on developing safety and driving comfort" I shudder at every "bagged" & "slabed" BMW I see ...and I cant see why the hell anyone would want to do it. They dont handle and in my opinion are not safe on our roads. They do look good in driveways and carparks though. The only way I can see them on our road safely would be on a trailer, gettin towed by Mum or Dad's 4X4 Modifications are a "personal choice"....but surely...safety & the law must come first. And the good thing is, thats what most of the sencible people and sponsors promote on this forum. Most "baggers & slabers" think its cool and they look cool....yeah right Lying in a coffin or standing infront of a jury for vehicle manslaughter is not a "cool" look.... think about it Just my 2 cents worth Cheers Glenn

E30 towbar Akerbuilt for BMW NZ (chrome tongue) Complete kit with a copy of installation instructions $100 Ph. (09) 2722546

That looks better.........more purist.... I hated that momo BTW...the towbars off too

Sorry if I confused every body here....what I was looking for were options Its not something I've done before, and not something we get into here at work I know that a few in here have had this experience and I was hoping for some input This is for my project car, and if you read the thread about it I want to do something completely different. I just dont want to do what everybody else has done before. Putting the M30 into a E30 is tight. Bonnet clearances, vacuum booster and distributor cap to radiator clearances. I have overcome the brake booster problem using the E34 M60 hydraulic booster which runs off the power steering pump with a pressure regulator and accumulator, and I'm going to use carburettors. I can run a trigger system inside the distributor cap cavity and get rid of the cap which gives me more clearance up front, for independant coil firing or I can trigger off the front crankshaft pulley for wasted spark. Those are my options so I can choose either and run "Link" ignition only. Either way gets rid of the distributor cap. I'm going to run E36 coil over spark plug ignition coils or six remote coils and H/T leads.I could also run the Mercedes wasted spark coils which fire 2 cylinders at once using 3 of their coils. And as for carbs....I've looked at Webers and Delorto's, but I'm not sure yet. I found this and I'm comunicating with Bogg Brothers for more info. Webers & Delorto's are old technoligy and this might be the way to go. Motorcycle carburettors are at least year 2000 technoligy and parts are readily available. Tunings no problem if you have the skills and the right gear. Ive set up multiple carbs on 4 & 6 cylinder motorbikes for racing. ( shyte!! I'd have to buy 6 vacuum guages or make up a mercury board ) This = http://www.boggbros.co.uk/gallery6.html I hope this clarifies what I'm trying to do. Blair @ Woodhead Electrical (Ph. 5704540) has been very helpfull with me on this. Cheers Glenn PS: I'm going to try and get Blair on here as a sponsor he's a great guy and very knowledgeable with BMW and other Euro electronics.

+1 Totaly agree there....20 yrs late tho Some countries its 3mm for tyres Manufacturers fit wear indicators at 2mm for water dissipation I really wonder why LTSA has stuck to 1.5mm ....is it PC & pockets = votes ??

New check point rules coming out in '09 too All check points will be having a mobile car crusher at the check point for unregistered, non warranted and non certed cars that are 5 years or older... not tolerance given. GO THE SLABS

When the digital SI board tells you, or I would recommend yearly if you dont do much mileage

+1 Totally agree with you there Will

My original thoughts were either/or. I'm going individual coil firing not wasted spark.

Absolutely mint Diamond Schwartz rear boot spoiler Part # 1916038 ( genuine BMW ) $100

The wheel in the picture off my project car Sensible offers ?? Includes boss kit as well http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....30&start=30 Cheers Glenn

I'm after an M30 motor (longblock will do) Euro B35 must be 10:1 compression ratio engine Prefer Alpina (10.5:1) Hartge or AC Schnitzer I'm also after Getrag 260/6 five speed gearbox Who's hiding something out there ?? I'm thinkin this is probably a big ask...but who knows ??? If you think you have one please supply me with the engine number Cheers Glenn

Thats a good thought ty, I could try the M10 cover, if not just make a cover for the distributor cap hole on the lathe, fit a BMW decal on it or get it engraved. This also gives me a bit more room up front between the engine and radiator. BTW, I'm going to go "Link" crank sensored ignition (not wasted spark) its by far the easyest. I've not had to do this before, its not something we get into here at work for customers. It's been very interesting researching this, and I must say I've learnt heaps by doing the research on it. There are quite alot of different systems available for different applications and obviously $$$$. Now I know where I'm headed, have the project all mapped out now. Its buying time now......motor, g/box & diff.... see the WTB thread Cheers Glenn

I now have my solution. I can do either, cam based or crank based and machine an alloy cover inplace of the distributor cap with a BMW decal on it....... no ugly bits

Yes, thats true....I want to trigger from the cam, which I'm lead to believe is possible. Have the pick up and trigger wheel inside where the old distributor cap goes.

After a bit of research it seems that a waste spark PDF system is the way to go. Some of the American systems are single pick up systems. But at least I now have options. I can build the unit into the distributor cap housing and run off the camshaft, go coil over plug and trigger 1 & 6, 2 & 5 and 3 & 4 ignition coils. Link & Megasquirt works as well. I only need an ignition system, not the whole system

Thanks for that Alot of really good info in there Cheers Glenn

all up the turbo would cost $2490 with no piping and no instalation. Multiply that by at least 4 to do it properly

BMW owners deserve all the credit in the world for choosing BMW Achtung
