  1. I'm looking for a factory E36 M3 rear box, got the mid section already. Alternatively can anyone point me towards a good exhaust place / know a welder who could do me up a merge pipe to fit a universal, single entry muffler? Possibly remove the cats while they're at it? Out West Auckland preferably


  2. I'm running "std" coilovers in my e36 and i can't fault them, adjustable rebound, rebuildable, body adjustable & cheap, what's not to like? Also they're made by greddy so you know the quality is good. I would recommend checking them out. Also they have measurements machined into the shock so adjusting the height accurately is a breeze


  3. Also have found this problem, have bought a bbk for my e36 but need to retain rear handbrake, any thoughts on this, I've found a few options, from machining the original disc to adapt it for a floating setup like so:rearadapter-2.jpg

    To a kit from "massive brakes" in Canada, but he only sells kits and won't part with the specifically designed park brake ring he's developed (fair enough too with all that R&D)

    I've also found some wilwood factory options but am unsure on final fitment, still have to rip a wheel off and measure the internal diameter of the hand brake shoe.

    So does anyone have any ideas/ knowledge on the subject?

    The cert guy won't do hydro hand brakes for road cars so I need another option!


  4. European auto spares have LOTS of wheels in stock, so whatever you do, don't buy straight off trademe through them. I was able to bargain them down $400 off the listed trademe price, for a full set of wheels.

    I figure if you're looking at spending that sort of money, buy the real deal, why buy replicas when you could spend a bit more and have the full monte.

    Imo style 359 look the part, style 351 are getting a bit over used/ lots of reps around. But that said each to their own.
