Happy birthday mans, not a teenager anymore! NOICE! Welcome to the world of avoiding responsibilities.

He said when he left F1, that technology in the sport moves so fast, that even if he did make a comeback, he would be left in the dust. Should be the most interesting race this year. I'd say it's also to show the FIA that the Ferrari team brings the fans in, and so the team should be allowed to have their way when it comes to ruling disagreements and rule changes.

Trip sounds amazing Sam. I really mean f**king awesome Those diffs can be quite a mission, hate to undermine you but a Diff specialist might be able to sort it. And come for a ride in my car this weekend, it'll give you wonderful ideas about suspension

Hell yes bravo! Thanks for that. Telephone land lines are so 2001.

I sure won't be going back. Do tell more... But next week. Other things to buy this week

I've spent the last few weeks getting up quite late. And every 2nd day a bloody telemarketer rings with a signal strenght that definitely sounds like it is coming from India/Asian, with the non-fluent English to boot. Without fail, everytime they ring, I listen to the first sentence of speel they read out monotonously, then, at the top of my voice, say: I'VE GOTTA GO, MY BABY IS ON FIRE! I do not want savings on my next stay at the Crown Plaza, or care about what dial-up deals Slingshit has. Discuss.

I sure did Jed, methinks it will be the wheel bearings, clueless woffers. Went to a run down Challenge I've heard of, hoping for the best. I went and saw Allan at Jeff Gray yesterday, say's you go in alllll the time, Mad hookups now cause he asked if I knew you Gf's birthday coming up, and also I haven't even gone snowboarding this year.. Even bought a new jacket a few months ago! Need to sort a job.. Life is depressing sometimes. Well, for a few hours at a time anyway.

Failed a WOF today. Not happy with cars at the moment. Did you know there is a hard, fast cut on M20 rev limiters? PLAY IN FRONT WHEELS (Are the wheel nuts loose or what? Wheel bearing? Ball joint?) TRAILING ARM BUSHINGS WORN What the flaming f**k? They are solid Brake pedal spongy (No sh*t, it's an E30) And looks like I'll need a Cert, I thought this was coming. Tender springs will be needed, that's easy. And what looks like wheel bearings in the guise of 'worn trailing arm bushings' 'play'. Giving up on this car for a while though. Have better things to spend money on.

How did it get past development????!?!?! This one is 6 mins long, but it's the best prank I've ever seen.

I was going to say Christchurch Ghetto (like as in Warsaw ghetto in Poland 1939) but didn't think people would get it

From reading about the M3, I'm pretty sure it takes it everything like steering wheel position, throttle pedal position, maybe even current G-Forces with an accelerometer, and adjusts the active diffrential to suit. Quite amazing really, can put down 100% of torque to the wheel with the most grip.
-
Heh thanks man, glad you found it exciting on those rough airport corners, sure can be a struggle there if entry speeds are not tamed, hence the eye popping braking demonstrated. I too can vouch for Riley's car. It's a beast!! Once you hook up you just dissapear though! Had you dead even till 70, but that's when you finally got grip.. correct that camber and it'll hunt Evo's succesfully. Do want. Hijack sorry!

In all seriousness, it should be out there somewhere.

OK FINE http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44036 No pics in that one though.

Covered quite a bit on e30tech.com, have a search there. I won't post a link and baby you

Bad rear shock mounts in the boot, or bad upper strut bearing at the front. The first is most common.

That guy has the best voice Evar. Here's something from the pure gold section of the favorites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PlJEeiovtw

I thought my car was very balanced before, with King Springs, went like a champ. Now with uprated springs that are matched to the weight distribution, the rear grip is SHOCKING (good shocking), it doesn't have that E30 tendancy to get the rear end out in slaloms and under power, it's a completly new car. Certainly the style you drive with matters though.

Upside - THEY ARE GOD'S CHARIOT.

Hang on hang on, the calcs do work out. If you had a 700/1125 setup, thats still effective rates of 55%f and 45%r. It's all linear, but of course! The 1.6 ratio is sound.
-
Hahaha yes I realised after I found the motion ratios that those rates wouldn't work. You are just wonderful Cam

Acentric rear trailing arm bushes.

Link I was going to get the AKG ones. Went with the standard 75D ones though because according to previous buyers, they rotate out of adjustment often, and I wasn't going to be going low enough to cause a concern. -
Because Nissians are too readily available here. In europe they win a lot of drift comps however.

Hahaha nice, reminds me of this:
