I got a complete new interior for the E30 coupe so the good bits that came out are up for sale, aswell as my old lowering springs. Full set of black door cards one has a small rip but otherwise all ok they have been dyed black used to be grey - $50 E30 Rear Jamex lowering springs - $40 E36 Monroe GT front shocks - $20 springs sold

Welcome, good to see another member in the bay.

hey, ya happy to help if you in Napier sometime ive got all the dimensions and can show you how they sit in my E30 my number is 021332145. I got the seats from an e36 i wrecked to get my engine for my M50 swap

Beautiful car, really like your interior glws

Shame this didn't go into production, would love one.

The tar will be staying, most of it anyway, but the spare wheel well has been cut out to make room for the fuel cell

As it sits now is the fourth setup ive tried to get a good combo of ride height and handling. The springs that came with my coilovers even at their lowest setting they were a tad high for my liking and extremely stiff, i tried king and jamex superlows they sit nice but a bit soft. This latest setup is a Vogtland spring with with Bilstein shocks meant for a KP61 starlet. These springs still feel really good much better feel than the king/ jamex not so soft. The problem i have is that all the weight has been removed from the back and the heavy M50 lump up front causes it to sit a bit uneven. I want to move the fuel tank back and anything i can move from the front to the boot i will, the extra weight from the upcoming roll cage might help a little

So I got around to fitting the coilovers and some lower springs with shorter shocks in the rear. Much happier with the height but wouldnt be too upset if the back was a little lower. Forgot that it was lower so I lost the front lip getting out of my driveway (thank god for cable ties) Replaced the burnt out clutch with a HD option, pedal feel is significantly heavier but grips much better now new one Ready for the track now

New clutch went in the E30, should help get the power down. Just a bit of slipping...

As per the title I have a pair of Monroe GT front shocks from an E36 325i, also have a pair of Superlow Jamex springs, top hats not included - $150 for shocks and springs

Man that things awesome, nice job glws

Did you get the back seat in?

Out for a drive when the rain came

Most of the kits cater for the 51mm struts, i went through the same thing in my E30 and i had the 45mm struts to being with. I ended up doing a 5 stud conversion and using E36 coilovers. It opened up my wheel options and gave me bigger brakes. It sort of blows the budget apart though.

Haha giving up on the VW then?

How much for a set?

Damn i was in Auckland yesterday i would have bought it of you, don't suppose youd be willing to pull it down and send the rods? Id still be happy to pay you the $100?

As per title after a set of con rods from an M20B20, dont need the pistons or crank but if needed will buy a short block

His user names 'bmrmad' try PM him

Mines taken a few hits and still holding together nicely, i have cable tied it on which break before the lip does

hey mate ill be up your way tomorrow and would be keen to buy it 021332145

Hi interested can pick up tomorrow 021332145

I got a fiberglass lip from Hans, he used to make them (not sure if he still does) came out pretty good needed a tidy up round the edges to get it to fit but looks good.

I have a rough idea of which one it is but will do some testing later to confirm, now i just need one of those brown M20 sensors

I think that they use the two pin sensors and use a common earth point as apposed to earthing through the sensor because it still gets a reading itll just be that the resistance values given out by the M50 sensors are in a different range to that of the old m40 engine.
