Ok, Im getting ready to start some work on the body of my car. Nothing major (No mtec kit etc) What I would like to do is something with the front valance/splitter, BUT retain the euro chrome bumpers. Any ideas, what is actually available?. I notice on the US sites alot guys with the big ugly Bench seat bumper also run what I believe is a "IS" model valance /splitter, any idea if this is possible with the euro bumper and if so where can I get one? Is there any sites overseas that will ship here? Thanks in advance for any sugestions.

Exactly my point but I was trying to be a little polite about it.

i CANT SAY MUCH BUT THIS LMFAO . This is a joke, you guys are just joking around. I doubt your figures are correct. But if they are, exactly how much of these engines is near to the original spec. I very much doubt they are daily driver type engines and would require a reasonable amount of work to keep them in top condition. The figure you have given is unrealistic (however it is achievable) BUT as you do not quote whether that is flywheel hp or wheel hp etc. Plus I would be interested in a break down of how that hp was actually reached, what mods to the block head etc has been done. Just saying I have 300kw, dont mean didly squat. (back it up) Logically speaking take alook at the flow capacity of the cylinder head, (even a seriously worked head.) for one of these engines. The numbers dont stack up, unless there is some serious work been done. If that is true it is hard to claim it is really a original engine etc. If you had quoted 300hp it would be a little more believable. So put your money where you mouth is and lets hear the full specs.

If you aint got noisy tappets something is wrong.

Front are in, piece of cake. Only took 30mins approx each side.

Looks similar height to mine. What springs are those in there. Which bushes dont fit, though mine is 87 so hopefully all go straight in. Havent tried yet had no time.

THey have arrived. All is well. We can all sleep tonight, my bushes have arrived. Thanks again Glenn.

Dude Im not panicing yet, but mine havent turned up yet.

Just wondering what you guys use or recommend to polish your cars with. The paintwork on mine is average, it comes up not to bad with a polish. (looking at repaitning it end of yr etc.) I went to the new supercheap auto parts (I think thats what its called.) Looked at all the polish on the shelves and thought @!#$ which one. Didnt buy anything so wondering what everyone uses on these cars?

Dude payment is made. I transfered $300.00. ($10.00 for courier). If you could courier to this address:

Dude Ill transfer the money shortly (next few days). Il get you to courier them up. Ill give you the details when I pay.

Easy,

Hooraaaayyyyy, let us know how much dude. I might get you to courier them up (I will pay for that of course. lol).

Strange question, but I notice on the US sites they talk of Oxy sensor. I notice I dont have one, lololol. Im guessin this miodel car didnt come out with one and the US spec cars had to have one for emissions. Anyone else notice they dont have one. Im aware of what they are etc. All my old JAp cars that I have owned in the past had them, (until errrrr, a unfortunate accident hehehehehe.)

Looks good, a little low for my liking, but glad to see another 325 in here.

I am now intrigued, could you ask him why he thinks this? It wont change my decision as I have my own reasons and ideas buy hey Im happy to hear what he has to say

Do you know many BMW mechs? But seriously what he is stating doesnt make that much sence.

lol its to late, I needed your rims a month ago. I had a time limit on getting the car back on the road. I didnt want to put it back on with the old rims they were unsafe as far as I was concerned. I would of purchased your rims a month or two ago. I needed them back then. So unfortunatly this will be staying for a little longer. But I traded the old crapper rims and only paid 400 dollers for these and tyres. So Im happy.

My front are good the rear I believe are good but havent checked them recently.

Too firm for what? His boney ass in the drivers seat. lololol. Im sorry but as far as drive quality goes its all good as far as Im concerned. You get one of these cars with some go power and see if you want a free floating rear end.

The final one. Oh and Ill gert those seats recovered at some point.

and another lol.

And another

Well I finally got round to taking some pics, Here is the run down on the car. Complete rebuild of engine, including: New set of bearings all round and rings. Balanced crank, and polished. Bead Blasted pistons. Head was planed, Ported a little, (just cleaned up) 3 face valve cut (flows better) Block was decked. (machined) Oil pump all measured up and checked (etc, did price a new pump, but mine was mint so left.) Cam was sent into FCS, measured and tidy up into spec. (I have yet to see anyone make big gains from putting in big cams, I dont see the point, plus its a nice daily driver) New head bolts, gaskets etc. All new seals all round,. New waterpump. New thermostate. New cam belt and tensioner. Injectors were sent away and cleaned and flowed. Radiator flushed, new hoses. (There are numerous new parts in the engine bay cant remember them all lolol) New clutch master cylinder. Complete new clutch. Flywheel machined. Aircon removed. New tie Rod ends. New Front discs (brembo) New brake pads (metal Kings, bastard of a thing to bed in) King springs fitted, with Koni yellows all round (adjustable) (Dont see the point in coil overs cus Ill never get round to adjusting them lolol) Waiting for bushes to arrive (some of them), hehehehehehehe Car was stripped to a rolling shell, inspected from head to toe and any rust or worn component was replaced. I can safely say its in good nic (no major crashes NO rust.) Oh and 16 rims fitted. (yes Im aware you dont like them lololol) FUTURE MODS bigger injectors. change AFM. Bore throttle body. Adjustable fuel preasure regulator. Custom chip. (Looking into this at the moment, May even look into doing this myself.) Supersprint muffler. Possibly look at some headers. Complete repaint. May go further with suspension. This is stage 2, which will happin end of next yr. Ive spent to much money so far.

Thats sounds excellent. When do you want full payment, how are you goin ditribute them.
