The dry weight of my e30 was 1080kg before the conversion (no spare). You've nearly removed an e30 from your wagon haha

Holy hell 850kg is heaps, what have you pulled out so far?

i wonder if it would work in a compact, i am picking up a compact tomorrow with a cooked engine

Do it!!!

I don't it once.......once......it broke in 2 and 1 bit got me right on the cock.......it dropped me and I had to finger check to see if the old boy was still there.

hahaha man that made me laugh. Looking forward to seeing where this build goes

Hey man, ive seen awesome results handling and height wise with xyz coilovers, a good mate was running 17x8s all round and had the rears tucked in the guards nd it handled awesome with 400 odd hp up back roads and that wasnt even their shortest spring, he's running 16x8s nw in a coupe with the shortest spring xyz do, its got the rears tucked too, il try find a pic

Ya have seen a lot of cars sitting lower than mine, as it sits at the moment is exactly where I want it I'm happier with the height with the new rear setup. The car is mainly going to be used for track days and a few hill climbs. Handles great on the track as it sits currently so will keep the setup I have for a while

Slybma - Are you saying the standard E30 will fit ok?? The diameter of it is huge but it is quite flat, i wasn't aware from the reading i have done that it was even an option

Ya I'm using the original e30 booster, I moved it down and left 15mm and removed the intake manifold fins, in hindsight I'd have gone with the e32 setup

When I did my conversion I tried the e21 booster because of clearance and it worked well but I did notice the brake feel wasn't as good, it just wasn't boosting as much, so I swapped the original back in and just moved it over and the brakes feel much better. That's just my opinion though as the car has been build for a lot of track use so I wanted good brakes

sh*t you got her to drive, Chloe wont come near my car haha

So after a while with the engine running, i noticed that it was getting very hot in the engine bay and the air filter was getting all that hot air so decided to make up an air box

Also fitted the side skirts after painting them and the front lip still not sure if theyll stay. The rest of the car will be painted the same colour over winter

Still looking for a pair of 9s if anyone has any

Looking good, im running 205/40 on my 8.5s gives it a nice stretch without going too crazy

Look like those JOM coilovers out of the UK

If it goes away with higher revs then ya you have a clutch issue

Well if you can be bothered couriering it down to hastings ill take it, happy to pay for courier costs

So it is haha my mistake is the flywheel still ok?

Do you have a flywheel too? How much you after?

I was driving through Napier on Friday and there was an Alpine White, prefacelift coupe parked up with forsale signs. No kit or anything, if I was guessing probably a 318 auto, but it looked tidy (I did not stop and look) I think they were asking $900?

Maybe someone in Napier knows the car?

where abouts in Napier did you see it? Happy to go take a look

Got any coupe guard moldings? I need small one from the right front guard and left rear quarter panel

As mentioned above work out your budget then at least that will eliminate a few options, it'll depend on how much work you want to do as well

Rack sold

Got any LSDs?

As above steering rack from a 97' Z3 1.9L 2.7 turns lock to lock in great condition good upgrade to E30 or E36 easy to do swap and transforms the steering feel of the car.

Bought for my E30 but have decided to go another way with the car so no longer needed. Just want what i paid for it so $460 owns it 021 332145 if anyone is interested. Can ship nation wide if needed.

I have found one thanks though

Ya ive read the documentation online, it'd all depend on how bad of a day your wof inspector was having i wouldn't be failing it if it was all BMW manufactured bits used. Our local LVV cert guy says differently, but i think he just wants more work.

The m50 and m40 angle is the same its the m20 that leans at a different angle.

He would be after the one and only one worth getting. Z3 1.9ltr 2.7 turn lock to lock.

Only way to drive an e30

Unfortunately, its one of those get in line type of things. I was very lucky with mine... kind of got it before people knew what they were or the race series existed.

Ya that's the one, don't like the bus steering it currently has haha. Last one I saw sold for $550 before I could get to it
