Driftit

I was trying to convince some knob with 17x7 +40 full faced random brand chromes last night to buy some for his awesome cut sprung auto 318 with tag style car crew stickers on the back window. Sometimes I am almost ashamed to tell people that I drive and E30. As they instantly picture me hanging out the window with my flat peak tin lid gangster hat of a car matching the discription above. If you fall into this category. Everyone hates you. They all think your a gimp. But if you changed your ways and purchased some of these sweet wheels for your E30, you may gain some respect back.

$70! Wow thats a really good price mate. And they are certed too? Most lines cost 4X that amount.

Mate posted this on the SNZ forum. Looks like great fun. El camino del Rey http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1438490562

Nah your old car was better

With the prices of SR's at the moment it would be better to look at a 1jzgte conversion. Cheaper. More power. More potential. And this is coming from someone who has owned SR20DET powered cars for the last 8 years.

And light. Good quality too. If you do go to the extreme and get the 15x8's they will look like this

Or just do it the crazy way. Get a blanket to catch the flying parts. Then undo the nut. You will still need the compressors if you want to put the standard springs back in though.

Will hunt around for the Dyno sheet and scan it in. If you like give my good mate Regan a call at Racelign. Racelign is part of Autolign. (09) 5742291. He made my current shocks up. The fronts are the best ones off the shelf for the E30. But have been altered a little to suite the height. Apparently I have BNG eurospec 60mm spring kit. But when I was changing the shocks I noticed that the spring was quite soft. I think this brand is more for looks and height than performance. I have heard nothing but bad things from the Kings Springs. But the whole E30 series run them and I am yet to hear anything from them. But have seen alot of sagging from them on other cars. Another brand I can try is Dobi. Unsure on their spring rates though. Will have to look them up. I cant wait till I have my Series car going so I can compair cornor speed with the 325. Regan seems to think the 325 will out handle the racecar with the same rubber.

Woh 500K. Thats had some good use.

I fit 15X8 +0 on my E30 no problem. Just roll the rear guards slightly but nothing major. But I think the best offset would be +10 or less.

Nah the photographers were busy taking pictures of old Lancers and Toyota's from the 70's. The Fools.

Yeah not the 300kph + club. Not many of us would be members. But the 300,000km's club. Just would like to see who else has a BMW that has made it to 300,000kms. Was it an easy trip. Or riddled with problems. I am just about to hit 300K in the next day or so. Sitting on 299900 ish. Im not 100% sure if it is the original motor or not though. But the rest of the car is in pretty good nick. For her birthday I gave her some new shocks and a thrash around Taupo track. Its a 1985 E30 325i Manual Pretty stock How many KM's have you done?

I recently upgraded from the crappy monro's I had in my 325 to some custom Bilstiens. Just look at the shaft size difference My rear shocks are custom too. Nearly double the size of the old ones. I have a shock dyno sheet somewhere around of the difference between them. But I quickly found yesterday while at a Taupo track day that the spring rate is not that sh*t hot. I am going to try a few combinations now to see if I can sort it out. They are a bit to soft in the front. A set of much thicker sway bars is urgently required. I have some adjustable top hats that do both caster and camber. But are a sh*t of a thing to set up. You can see in this pic the car is rolling far too much. Well for my liking anyway. lol When I drop your tires off you can have a look if you want.

Haha Chav Phase. A NZ example of a Chav would be your typical Flat peak tin lid hoodrat driving his 318 bouncing along on 2 uncaptive coils with his +42 19X7 full faced horrid chrome wheels. Seems we are having a Chav phase too.

My brother has a 10 speaker system. And since he had a new head unit installed he lost the use of six of them. And the ones he has left are blowen or just crap. Is there an easy way around this?

How quick are they to start playing a song. A mates one take nearly 5 seconds to change song then another couple of seconds to display what song it is. Makes it a real pain in the ass when you want to skip through some songs or are looking for one in particular and you have to wait 7+ seconds to find out what song your on each time. If its instant like on a PC then I could be keen.

Sold my complete M-Tech 1 kit to Ray from HellBM for about $800 last year. Now I need one too. But would not pay over $800 as most are rough and need work.

Nice one. Tried painting myself once. Didn't work. Speed all my time playing make the 180 and E30 work.

WOW that is real mint. Most you see around are dull and well driven. That one looks new! Mmmm 6spd!

Clio RS are awesome. Quite a bit of Tourqe steer and you need to yell at each other to communicate though. lol I dont think I would get a Mini unless it was a Cooper Works version.

Mates Dad has an 07 John Cooper Works mini. Has all the flash carbon bits and mags, exhaust etc. Was telling me the other day how he was given the previous supercharged model. Said it was horrible. And he would not have purchased a mini if they still drove like that. I only ever drove the el cheapo ones in the UK. Rated the Puegot 307's and Clio's better.

I thought nearly all the apartments in the Viaduct are lease hold. All the ones on the Halsey Street side are. And half of them have never been lived in or sold.

I just had my two personalised plates remade by LicenSys for $28. Ordered on Wed and were here on Sat morn.

Cheers guys. Spent the whole day trying to cram some trade and finance into my brain for an Exam at 5pm. Yeah an exam on my Bday! Car is nearly ready. Might make it to the extra round.
