i can vouge for the power of a e30 m52. even my m20b25 race car has got absolutely nothing on it.
-
IMO get toyo proxys, they are my tyre of choice. im not sure what they are worth but they are a very good tyre. Bridgestone potenzas are a pretty good tyre too and i THINK they are a little cheaper than the proxys.
-
why for you sell?
-
if you are trying to run it in your e30 you can run your current manual box. also it will make life alot easier if you get all the loom, ecu, immobiliser system, key , ign transponder from the same car, otherwise you will be spending lotsa $$$ and headaches at bmw getting modules coded etc etc. Just letting you know.

i used to run a similar setup in my e46 with jbl components in front and a 10" sub mou ted in the parcel tray, it does sound good as you get all your sound from infront of you, i hate rear speakers that play all the music and that is all you can hear is music behind you. although i do think you need to have some rears tuned quite low on the amp, just to offer some mid bass and to contrast between the fronts and the sub.

simple lowering for my e30
pureboiracer replied to E30AFFIAR's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
its only dodgy if it is not done right. if you compress a spring too far then it will not be stiff enough to stop you bottoming out. if some backyard engineer does it it can get heat spots, get brittle and not be tempered correctly. NZ springs do it properly, they have the right gear for it, i mean they make springs.... they make sure its heated correctly and retempered to correct springyness. If you get some lowering springs and you compress them a further 10-20mm then its perfectly fine. -
um im not too sure, try running an accessory wire to the blue wire, if yhe light doesnt come on when you short the blue wire make sure you have power into it, if you have a haynes book look at the cluster wiring diagram and you can work out what wire is meant to be the power wire.

no no for my drive car not my race car. Just to clarify i was purely putting the idea out there. dont go thinking im turning rice or anything.
-
just be carefull about when you turn them on. yeah im not to sure on the idea tbh, not sure enough to go spending the money doing it anyway
-
i had this problem with my racecar, The power supply wire into the cluster had no power so i just spliced it into an ign power wire, no more problems since. um i cant remember what the power wire is but the wire between the alt and cluster is blue, pin #17 i think, check that for continuity to the end of it at the altinator.

Hey guys, i just want all your opinions on neons on cars, inside and out. I have been wondering about hiding some white neons in the wheel wells to glow through the wheels at night but i havnt been game enough to try it. What do you all think?
-
yeah i think red will be the way to go. i may do the sides and fronts red too.

Line lock / adjustable brake bias with ABS
pureboiracer replied to ED1RTY's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
I would imagen it would play havoc with the abs if you go locking up wheels when spinning the others. ummm not to sure if you can get a kitset for certain cars though. sorry i cant help to much. imo i would just pull the abs fuse and then make a setup that works. -

my mate had this exact problem about 6 months ago.... the m52 fixed it.... -

ok... so not much has been hapening with the car lately. I am just waiting on wheels really, but have some pics of the weekends work. They are only quick pics so not the best but it will do. Will take some better ones when the wheels get here. Hopefully around newyears. Anyway, what i have done is put in race series king springs. I have some slightly lower springs which i may or maynot put in, will see how the wheels look. Noltec front control arm bushes New front brakes New front struts Stainless steel exhaust tips, Thanks john. ... ohh and also painted the entire front grille and wiper arms gloss diamond black

simple lowering for my e30
pureboiracer replied to E30AFFIAR's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
I WANT that look, it is soooooo hot. Ohh and take the roof racks off it will make it look much lower, i have some 70mm drop springs that will make your car under 100mm so no wof, but if you want to take the risk then i have some for sale, or get a fl as the rear guards are much lower, i just put race series kings into my e30 fl on 14" rims and it tucks tyre in the back with an empty gas tank -
Hey guys, i have a e30 1990, i have had it painted black, tinted, some black 16s coming from zeneti, blacked kindney grille. I am trying to decide if black tail lights or red tail lights will look better? Anyone?
-
the wings do make a difference, my flatmates one was fine until he put the t2 wing on and then same problem as above.

pleanty at pickapart, i got one not so long ago, was mint.

with 300bhp i think the cage was compulsery, i think it is done pretty well with the interior in there, sure only one person can sit in the back seat but ive seen worse. my friends car is putting out 650 odd nm at the wheels, if he doesnt have a cage it will twist the car like a pretzle, i think he still wants to run full interior too so i will wait to see what that looks like before i make a judgement on this guys cage. Nice car though, looks good and i bet it goes. I wonder if he has traction issues at all?

um, sounds like a loose earth or something to me, mabey even a dodgy ign switch.
