Bumpers and side trim are all relatively the same. The clips along the middle are smaller than the normal black side trim though and the holes in the door to accept the clips have plastic bits which allow them to clip in. You will have to pull those off and swap to your car so the side pods can clip on. I think the only problem you will run into is the clips for the sideskirts, the clips are held in holes with a dowel in the middle. So once you pull all the upper clip mounts for the sideskirts, there will be a bunch of holes along the side of the car on that edge above the sill.

Have a look on e30tech.com in the turbo section. All the info you'll need, heaps of guys on there running boosted e30's and alot with stock internals just ARP headstuds and O-ring / MLS headgaket.

Someone suss out the group buys for these all please.

I had mine done by a guy who works for himself.. Roughly 1.5k for a full repsray inside and out, engine bay , door jams etc all panel and prep'd, was heaps of dents especially in the roof..

yeah im mainly after the rest, just thought id snap up the relay as another spare. pm me prices

does the central locking work? how much for the 4x door lock units, boot one and the fuel flap central locking solenoid things and the main control unit?

Happy bday man

That front kit looks like a 325es front without the oil cooler vents cut out?

You could strip the interior and pull the loom out of car then feed it back through..

ROFL

Isn't the MZ3 one the shortest? Not sure about if it would fit due to the longer under side , might hit the driveshaft ?

If it's got a locky, I can almost garuntee the people who own it have thrashed it to hell and back..

I think I saw '3SERIES' 318is parked down Fredrick street around 3pm yesterday.

First time raining here in a while too, cruising to course hit the 100km road and I put my foot flat in 3rd and once it hit about 4500rpm the revs shot up and the rear stepped out starting to slide sideways. Sh*t myself coz I was NOT expecting that to happen Lol.

Yeah I'm guessing it is related to the 'A' pillar plug due to moisture (first time my cars been out in the rain). Any ideas as to getting the doors unlocked?

I've tryed it, I had a spare working one and it clicks when I do the unlock test, But I think cos it's in deadlock they don't actually unlock til i jumper something else or maybe whatever this unlock inhibit switch is??

Woke up this morning to find my car would not unlock at all with my key in any lock other than the boot. basically, I could turn the driver lock from the 90 degree deadlock position back to 12 o'oclock but was stuck and did not move past to the unlock position.. So basically all the doors are stuck and deadlocked meaning they won't just unlock.. I managed to get the drivers door open a weird way holding the key a certain way and tugging the door handle.. And with this I took the driver door apart and removed and checked the lock and it is working 100% fine, put it back in with no central locking motor connected though. What is the switch connector that fits up on the lock? I'm assuming it is the dead lock switch? Any ideas how to pop the others out of deadlock mode as I can only lock and unlock my driver door now that it is not connected to the central locking stuff and the swtich is off of the key barrel. I can't turn the passenger door to unlock either. So basically I have 3 deadlocked doors and my driver door.. ugh.. Sooo: Boot unlocks only the boot. Driver door is just the locking mechanisms now, both central locking and the top switch are disconnected. Fuel filler is also locked shut.

Fixed.

That stance sent SHIVERS down my spine like you wouldn't believe.

Sweet, Anywhere 2.97 to 3.25 will be sweet.

Yes its a 3.64 diff and it's an e36 getrag 220 gearbox so 1:1 5th gear. Just curious on all gear speeds but I'll have a looksy round. The 3.64 with the getrag 240 .81:1 was pretty good, maybe a lil too long but something similar (slightly higher) in comparison with the 1:1 box im using now and whatever diff I can get.

What calc are you using?

205/40 16's Just after something lower.. Have PM'd you Brent.

Looking for a 3.46 medium case or lower ratio e30 diff. Output flanges / rear cover or mount etc don't bother me, mainly after the gears and housing to swap my LSD center over to it. The 3.64 is driving me nuts, 3300rpm @ 100kmh.. Also a 325i full driveshaft if anyone has one liying around.
