Yep i sure did! haha what a mission it was. umm think there is a pic with the motor out earlier in the thread but here is some anyway, they were extended and modified slightly once the engine was in the hole but they are relatively free flowing and the people i have spoken to say they are much much better than factory EDIT: resize

So happy with the gearbox and diff mate? that's good to hear As for the two wires when i did mine it was just like in the other write ups but i still sent it off to an auto sparkey as it had the electronic trans and wouldn't run properly adn he sorted the lights too and +1 to kerrys comment, been working on my mate kerrys 325i SA and some things are just WTF when comparing the two

Hmm thats bit disappointing... especially since i looked at getting some bars from stocks today at $500+GST per bar that's expensive

Graham from DCH? sweet mate thanks for the advice.

i think it looks good as mate

Well well well... i have a brake pedal now! a very hard but nice pedal. I have just got two brand new tires for the rear today as the others were camber shagged and managed to get my dash cluster back in too what a PITA job that is. mounted a tricky electric fan controller with adjustable temp control which works a treat, oh and put a new bottom arm on as well as the ball joint was really sloppy, im thinking that being up on the hoist for so long damaged it. I have one more wire to connect... black and white one that goes to behind the dash somewhere but cant find out what it does. So the engineers coming over tomorrow afternoon to have a look and hopefully give it the pass(fingers crossed). i will be in a mad rush to put the golvebox and center consul back together so its nice and tidy for when he comes then il be off for its madin run!!! the day has finally come! i will be sure to video it and hopefully its all good. I also got my 2.93 specific lsd pack thanks to darren (SRBMW) thanks man, however talking to dch they say i will destroy it within two weeks if i dont give it to them and let them tighten up the lock or something... does this sound right?? Watch this space for pics and video soon:D

+100 they are amazing!

i could be keen, how much to ship to chch?

Yeah i am but this is for my other car, just a standard 325i facelift. what sort of price would we be looking at? cheers

i want! but will more than likely not fit in an e30

HB man

Can you do a wheel at tire package for a staggered fitment? very keen to sort something out

Im keen for some clear sides for my e30. cheers

sweet mate sounds like a plan. My cell is 021 301 394 flick me a text and we shall go from there. I agree about doing both at the same time that would save a hell a lot of time and effort. Maybe we could investigate what we were talking about 5 stud too.

yeah man ill head into bmw and get some bolts, should we to toe as well as camber?

mm its quite hot, would be keen on that rear 5 stud end....

mmmk well: engine computer loom and all bits associated $3000 5 speed manual out of a 530i v8 $1000 + $1500 shipping from the states + customs charges heavy duty clutch and custom single mass flywheel new cylinders etc $1350 Custom radiator $1000 A/C regased and matched to e30 lines $900 Drive shaft lengthening balancing and bigger end welded on $300 New water pump and reconditioning all seals and pumps etc on motor including water pipes $800 2.93 LSD $800 the list goes on.. $100 here and there to buy things that are needed quickly adds up. Thats not including materials costs for engine mounts or exhaust

+1000 they are crazy huge!

Cheers mate, appreciate it! will keep things updated with pics James thats quite helpful and explains things...

Lol would you all really like to know what my bmw v8 conversion has cost me so far? taking into account its not finished and i get things at trade price... and doing most of the work mysellf too i might add

sweet well i can get bolts and anything from Blacks easily so we should head in there maybe and see what they have.

hey mate, yeah i figured there would be slotting or something.. yeah i think we could do that. How should we go about doing that?

Thats some awesome power there mate!

same here

my car still has the factory bmw first aid kit. has never even been used!
