A manual conversion should deliver the gains you're after.

Cost is $230 per shell + $40 ea if you want them polished. If you are only ordering 2 there is also an extra $150 setup charge as the minimum order quantity is 4. It is best if I have a centre to measure for machining.

cheers bbs have sent them an email. Did a bit of looking around on the net, and it looks like the wheels im after are also known as RC 039, and RC 010 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BBS-RC010-9Jx17-5x12...=item2c5bc11a15

Just looking for the wider barrels really. I asked Arrow wheels if they could make the existing ones i have wider (8x17) but not interested. Yep. aka BBS RC 0xx Yep got my eyes peeled on there and ebay. $hipping cost would suck tho.

Forgot to mention I'm only after a pair of these wheels. Even just the outter barrels is fine :-)

Pretty sure I have these. I will let you know tonight.

Looking for a set of said wheels. Not too fussed on condition, as long as not FBR. These are mostly found on e24 and e34 Cheers, Martin

It's a pretty fiddly job, don't forget the small screw located in the vent up by the tweeter. pry clips carefully from the bottom, and then lift the skin up, there are more clips that should come loose at the top of the skin by the chrome strip as u lift up. The skins are quite strong tho, u would have to be using alot of force to break one. The clips can break easily tho.

So it appears that most M62tu powered cars are equiped with 4 cats. In an effort to free up the exhaust flow a bit, can the DME be re-coded in a way to be say, a non-cat version, or is there a way to trick the DME in to thinking the cats are still present?

The front screams 458 Italia

Both in auto, the e46 330i and post 11/98 e39 540i are evenly matched for acceleration up until 4th gear where the 540i starts pulling away. That was my experience any way. Be careful buying a higher milage 540i the timing chain guides and deflection plate wear and break..not a cheap job to fix as both front timing cases come off, along with a heap of other bits and pieces. My experience with it here : http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....c=27552&hl=

I got the Z4 M coupe, and its nice, not fast but it feels really good to drive, mind u im playing on a 55" LCD and the G27 steering wheel setup, so any car in the game is fun to drive really.

Centreline suspension on Gt North rd, Just a wee bit passed the repco. They do all the bimmers for the BM workshop. have had two allignments done there and have been happy with the work.

I've got a Gallardo, or the Murcielago Super Veloce, bith will pwn the Lambo races, i've been using the murcielago with racing tyres to win the tuned car battles, and GT championship battle in expert and professional A spec. Id be keen to swap for your f40. My ps name is : seayou_ntea

Nice one! This has given me some motivation to refurb mine. Just wish I could find some 9" style 5 rear outter barrels first

You'd think it was there under the 'Units' section, but no. Ah well.

Well done Glenn 10 weeks is a long time! My longest stint was 4.5 weeks, but i've decided to be a non-smoker effective from the 20th December (Day 1 of my 4 week break from stressful job) I read the Allen Carr's easy way book, and unfortunatley was 're-captured' by the evil filth.. But.. there is hope for me afterall - Allen Carr has a book called 'Only way to stop smoking' It is basically the 140 odd page easy way book explained in more detail, Only way is about 500 pages. I'm reading through this at the moment. I am looking forward to reaching the 10 week mark. Well done once again Glenn!

Anyone sussed out to change power and torque units over to KW's and NM's ?

fugly.

Hi All, Apologies if this is a re-post. Am wondering if there is a place in Auckland that sells e30 tech II kits? Front/rear bumpers, skirts and rear spoiler. Not fussed if genuine or fibreglass copies, but muct be good copies. Thanks! Martin

Here is some more details the owner has passed on : this BMW of mine has an RB30 block, DOHC R33det Skyline head with Variable Cam Timing (that works), massive T70 turbo, Link G3 ecu, massive ali race radiator, 510cc injectors, highly modified Jatco 4 speed sequential transmission with air shift (you can change gear from buttons on the steering wheel) and a BA Falcon turbo LSD 3.45:1 diff. The transmission also has a transbrake fitted.. allowing you to lock the wheels by selecting 1st gear and reverse at the same time while the brakes are applied. This is so you can use antilag to get the engine into its peak torque range before you let the wheels unlock. All CV joints are BA Falcon and the rear 5 stud hubs are also BA Falcon. The front hubs were custom machined from high tensile 4140 round billet steel to match the Falcon 5 stud pattern yet have the correct offset for the Nissan offset wheels that the car runs. The rear brakes are standard discs, while the fronts are slotted racing ones with Bendix pads. The wheels are 17 by 8 on the front and a MASSIVE 17 by 10 on the rear. The tyres on the back are like 245's. It has adjustable Koni's in the rear and KYB's in the front. The wheels are DTM 'drift' and aligned the look of the car with what I was trying to achieve. The idea was to bridge the styling between the ever popular drift scene and combine it with a euro classic, but more suited to drag racing and everyday street driving. There is a B&M american ratchet shifter (like all the pro drag cars have) in place of the original. This allows you to choose either the air shift mode or the manual ratchet shift. There is a drag racing auto change function also. There is anti lag which is operational when the brakes and more than 90% of throttle are applied at the same time, i'e: on the starting line. The only things that this car could probably do with would be a bit of paint and colour coding the bumpers and maybe adding racing seats. The interior has seen a bit of modification too... Like for example.. because of the engines size under the bonnet, there was no room in the engine bay for the brake booster and master cyl. These were moved to under the dash where the glove box used to be. There have been about 6 gauges added including digital pressure control and display of the boot mounterd air compressor, a shift light, air/fuel ratio gauge, oil pressure, oil temp, boost. The engine made 1980Nm at the wheels (so at least 620 Nm at the flywheel) and was tuned by Karl Rudermann of E&H Motors. He has a very good reputation with RB engines. The only reason Im looking to move on is because I have a large mortgage! It owes me over 20k not including labour!

Lots more pics available. Please PM if genuinely interested in buying. Owner told me that it has ran a 12 down the 1/4... Obvious traction issues with street tyres.

A friend of a friend has advised that he's looking to sell his recently finished project. Its an e30 318i coupe Engine: RB30DET tuned for 350rwkw Gearbox : Sequential air shift 4 speed Rear end : BA falcon XR6 turbo LSD, with custom axles It has been certed. Pics and contact number available. PM if genuinely interested in buying

Another m5 bites the dust.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but the engine pay pic doesn't look like an M62TU, they have an all plastic air intake tube, along with a few other differences.
