Bit of an old thread. But you will get gains with a shielded cold air intake. Best to research designs or have a look at some of the race series cars if you ever have the chance.

Mixed reviews for the app. Might all depend on what adapter you buy.

All now claimed sorry.

have a search under the general section of the forum for insurance stuff. I had a similar thing happen to me with State around 12 years back. And have heard a similar story every year since.

Just wondering. Did you search for something that brought up that thread? Or was it just at the top of your list? May not have been your fault mate.

You just replied to a 6 year old thread. Please avoid doing this.

Updated as some parts have been claimed.

Free E30 stuff. Catch is you must pick up this weekend. 19/09 and 20/09 till mid day. Otherwise it is off to the dump. E30 bonnet in black. Clear coat is gone. Little surface rust has bubbled the paint under the badge. E30 RF Fender. Diamond Schwartz. Little rust at bottom but could be saved. E30 Drivers Door for coupe. Diamond Schwartz. Motorsport trim color. Couple of scratches. No glass. Has a factory 2nd lock for the original alarm. E30 glass for coupe. 35% tint film on all pieces. Motorsport trim color for rear quarters. Rear Screen RH and LH quarter glass RH and LH door glass. E30 Front Subframe for M20 motor. Mounts in pic do not come with it. E30 M20B25 factory oil cooler. Not great condition but can be cleaned up. 4 x steel wheels with old tyres. Good for skids only. Or great for chucking on the car whilst you clean up your wheels. 4x100. Cheers Dan 0211887733

Seats made in the Caribbean.. what. Just hunt down some stock motorsport seats. There has been quite a few sets up for sale this year on this forum alone. Make sure you are getting 4 door seats as they are different. If you are not willing to hunt locally and be a little patient for the parts you want you are going to burn money and build a Frankenstein's monster. Get to know the community and the BMW parts guys and you will find the bits you are after.

Nice I went the LG way. 60" UHD with a 9.1 surround. Pretty cheap these days.

Just got me a new TV and sound system too Glenn. Just one cable to connect them. New HDMI 2.0 cable and away she went. New couch arrived yesterday too. Really killing any motivation to be in the garage though.

As it's not a desirable model and it seems you paid top dollar I wouldn't spend a cent more and just enjoy driving it. Just maintain and get the most out of driving it. 17s do not suit E30s. You will also struggle to find a decent offset in 4x100.

That steering wheel looks huge. Was it made from the basic E30 wheel? Tech 1 or 2 steering wheel. Better wheels and lower ride height. Paint it the factory color. Paint black or fit motorsport window trim. LSD Motorsport interior Convert to RHD (LHD is a total pain in the ass. Especially on the open road.) Look at all the bushings. Most will need attention/replacement if they are original.

Since this car is actually a standard 325i and has been miss-advertised as a motorsport could the poor bugger who paid way too much for it take the seller to court? Or could they argue that they meant the title as 325i with M Tech II kit? I mean the new owner thinks the car has only had one previous owner.... Its a Jap import. It could have had 20+ owners over there. You don't get those records with the Jap de-reg papers. I kinda feel sorry for him. But he did ignore all advice.

Does it hit Vtec? ^^ someone doesn't know there is no H in VTEC.

They are always after car trailers. Makes it easier to steal the Skyline/WRX/EVO/Silvia they are after. Nothing wrong with newer Link ECU's. Best bang for buck. Can buy/Install/Tune x3 for the price of a Motec ECU on its own.

I wasn't a fan of the E60 styling either. But now I love it. And since owning one I realised how dated the E39 looks. The E60 fits in nicely 10 years later.

Tradies driving these huge modern utes. No car can corner faster, accelerate faster or stop faster.

Too much coding for you.

Jesus you really took this all to heart didn't you. I thought you would have caught on that I didn't really care when I accepted your challenge to a race that you never gave... There was even a winky face in there too.

The average of the 525i's on that site is 11.5. So the E30 is still more economical. Which was my point. Mine must be a freak. Or just properly maintained. But I shall accept your challenge of which car is faster. 5 laps of Hampton Downs.

Ah found my one. Data is old because I got lazy and stopped using it. But average of 9.4L/100kms with 93% city driving. http://www.fuelly.com/car/bmw/325m/1987/driftit/143134

Average including both street and open is in the 9's for many. http://www.fuelly.com/car/bmw/325is/1987 and higher for the 525i on average. http://www.fuelly.com/car/bmw/525i/2001

It really is like $650 to fit it in a vent. $50 for the electronics. I did see gauge holders for vents when I was looking around on Ebay. They were for E90's too. I was after something for the Mrs S13 at the time. They were less than $30USD. Fit your own gauge to it. Or mod it and fit a OLED Arduino kit to it. You could even run it on a Raspberry Pi. And display it on a factory screen if your car has one. Pi's are a little slow to start up though.
