  1. Um no. There is a second piece which only is needed for PS and A/C belts. If you have ever taken the front of an m20 apart you would know this. And the Alternator/ waterpump belt runs right off the crank wheel. Sorry bud.
  2. You can actually think of it this way, Removing rotating mass off the crank (i.e shaving down the flywheel) all makes an improvement to engine response. Works front and rear of engine. But front doesn't have as much things to delete, Except power steering and A.C, I guess you could remove that pulley that runs the A/C and P/S belts off the front dampner, that would be another subtle reduction in rotating mass on the crank.. But it's F all so don't expect a miracle lol.
  3. Go for burn and let us know the verdict please.
  4. Was the driveshaft split into the 2 separate parts? If not you don't need to worry, driveshaft only turns when the car is moving too btw. And it only causes vibration. If it was split into 2 pieces, Make sure the u-joints are the same way front and rear, just line them up cos thats how they need to be.
  5. I actually prefer no one touching my car tbh, But thus only I can be blamed for the mess.
  6. My mate removed mine. I kinda wish I still had it some days but meh. Ya get over it. Tidyness is key.
  7. Haha. My e30 had AC that I removed all piping to the firewall etc, Made no difference from what I remember. 9 Months off the road actually. Epic.
  8. You connected your heater pipes wrong on the firewall buddy. Barking up the wrong tree.
  9. Looking for both upper and lower cover on m40 e30's against the firewall.
  10. Got any m40 loom covers by any chance? upper and lower.
  11. Have you seen how much my front valance was massacred just to fit the front mount? Weight reduction Motherf*cker.
  12. Thats the last thing he needs Lol.

    e30 v10...

    That one is old though, just swapped into a e30 m3. This one had a massive build thread, amazing the amount of work gone into it..
  14. I've taken wheels in there before with punctured tyres, they repair them for free. But don't take priority on them, So don't be surprised if you have to wait all day.
  15. Lmfao. I'm not even going to ask... WOF guy will be in for a surprise.

    e30 v10...

    I cbf looking, But everyone remember that big as build with the e30 m3 stripped down completely and the chassis pretty much cimpletely re-modified for e92 suspension and all ? Then had the v10 dropped in? Just managed to find this one on youtube.. Didn't realize it was stroked out to 5.7L Interesting to see how much power this thing makes.
  18. True coil over setups for an e30 rear are alot of work, only ones made are very expensive but they involve bracing the rear shock towers, as BMW just designed them to take the force of the shock, the trail arm and chassis take the spring. If you have the rear setup with the spring on the rear shock tower it adds waaay more force to the weak rear towers so you need to brace and reinforce them. There is nothing wrong with how these are, GC coil overs and other top brand suspension do the same. it is still adjustable and so forth. Just going true coil over in the rear can be an expensive exercise to do it right. d2's are sh*t IMO. They leak and have quite a bad rep for it..

    E36 Rat Style

    Colossal? Boe that shiz is out the gate. Off the heazy.
  20. Why do you talk about balls so much Emily? Swear to god nearly every post from you involves 'picking up your balls' 'grow some balls' 'i have balls' 'your balls aren't big enough' Why do you people cry over spilt milk?
  21. Happy birthday g. Have some buckies lol. 126 days til he has a licence hahaha.
  22. That inductive pickup is for 2 stage injection AFAIK, m20's have the inductive pickup on the #6 wire. If disconnected, the ECU injects fuel every stroke, instead of alternating strokes (1,3,5 as one and 2,4,6 as the alternate).
