Are you talking about individual coil packs or a single coil and dizzy setup?

new caps aren't actually that bad, certainly wasn't the reaming I though it would be when I got mine

might be available through BMW as well (both new center caps or decals)

Thought some of you might be interested in Dad's new toy - BMW G450x BMW's first attempt at a proper enduro bike. Alot of it is quite standard stuff but few things have been done differently. The swing arm pivots about the same point as the rear drive sprocket so the chain length doesn't change. Single piece radiator is also different. He's also had the optional chip and exhaust installed to bring it up to 51HP, up from 40HP. I believe this was done for emmisions reasons, obviously once its sold they can play around with it.

I believe the oil is to help with cooling. not required for gas struts like the bilsteins?

once. by accident

bollocks, manual steering is fine around town. and I had extra castor and wider tyres.

Possibly a dumb question - How tricky is it use a USB memory stick to store songs on it and play them through the stock system? Easy or better off getting Ipod or CD MP3 changer?

dont be lazy. pick up the phone and ring BNT/repco/supercheap/euro-italian (forum sponsors). I've already told you where I'd go, or do I have to ring them for you too?

they're pretty cheap to buy off somewhere like BNT brand new. And I'd get a new one anyway, have seen a number of old ones fail

Never thought I'd say this but... Listen to that girl ^ (and everyone else who said buy a coupe. This thread is stupid and people are just post whoring. Edit button is there to be used people. I suggest you call a proper LVV certifier to find out the legallity. end.

I'm pretty sure it will bolt up, but I think the 1.8i head has larger ports. Found this when I used a gasket set from an earlier motor

haha might want to be careful who you say that around...

offset depends on widths, not diameter. generally look for around et25 to et15. much more than 25 will look silly as wheels will sit in too far. (as most 17x7 mags are). I really doubt you'll find something you like (that will fit properly in the standard range of mags, Mag and Tire Direct have a few styles designed to fit the E30, but most are around the 15 or 16 size (which most people prefer to run on e30's)

So how much 'e30' is going to be left after this phase glenn?

no, it will reach 14psi at the same point it reached 14psi. Only boost will keep rising. (assuming all else the same). I'd be expecting your AFR's around 12.5, 13 tops if your running a decent boost

I loved those roads, lots of fun. BTW; PM function is there to be used guys...

Don't worry about it, I had so much stuff go wrong on my M10 Turbo. Was my first project that big too, just learnt most of it by doing or reading. Mistakes cost a bit of $$ but I learnt heaps. Hopefully the next project I do I'll be able to use what I learnt. Stick with it if you can

wait till you drive it in the wet, you'll find even 2nd gear a waste of time

thats stupid, mine came factory fitted with braided hoses. haven't had any problem with them but would be furious if someone twit did pick on them

I've got some 288x25mm that have been modified to fit e30 (redrilled and center machined out) , stock e20 offset from memory too. Was going to use 'em before I sold my car with E28 535i calipers. Actually have the whole kit (new lines, pads, rotors, brackets, rebuilt calipers). If your interested in any of PM me for what you'd be afterand we can talk $$

wow, didn't know you had this going on, sweet project.

She asked nicely. Back on topic please
