  3. i went v mount because the engine was set really far back in the engine bay and i like the concept and look. if done right can be way more affective than traditional way. when i originally bought the car it had the CA in it. but i am happy with the CA , stronger iron block , cheaper to modifiy and only 15kg heavier than SR. a good head gasket is vital with the ca's thou also a bit more rev happy. Aiming to make about 150kw at wheels.with a few more mods. im stripping everything and have been looking at carbon bonnets and boots. thanks guys.
  4. whilst i am awaiting my 57mm alloy rad , i moked up my plans for my v mount intercooler with my old rad and new otomoto intercooler , it all looks like its gonna work and i must say looks sexy. radiator should be here wednesday , in the mean time ill be making up aluminum shrouds for the sides. hope u like. any commnets welcome.
  5. my goal, i watch this video nightly. also i installed the cat today , also got some stock springs coming just to past roadworthy. f**k i hate blueslips and engineer certs !! enjoy the vid.
  6. i looked at the g4 racing coilover system and the d2 racing coilovers , i think im gonna go with the d2 as they are more drift orientated. so i'd need to change what exactlt to fit these coilovers????????????
  7. so ive enquired about some coilovers for my 1984 318 e30 , and i get this in reply: ''hi mate these coilovers come with a 2 year parts warranty yes, the front coilovers have camber tops fitted. be careful though, as there are two types of suspension that the E30 have. 6 cylinder suspension and 4 cylinder suspension. be sure you have the 6 cylinder suspension, otherwise these will not fit your car. any other questions, please call me.'' could you guys shed some light on the differences if any , and how i would go about converting my current setup. thanks heaps.
  8. yes ive seen your car it was part of my inspiration , im also looking at the rote rb 15x8 +4 from ebay. but ill be running a 195/50 or 195/45 from japan. im also flaringf gaurds majorly. cheers,.
  9. so some of you may have read my members rides thread , i own a bmw e30 with ca18det which is going to be a street/track drift project. back to the point im looking at 15x8 wheels with a low offset and i found these cheap rims , now these arent the exact ones but i can get brand new ones for $64 us per rim. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...cTODAY.m238.lVI im gonna stretch 195/50 on them , do u think they would look/fit/work ok? im thinking of polishing the dish and powder coating insides black? or just leaving them white. also ill make them fit!!! cheers.
  10. thinking bout m3 front quaters on my e30 , i dont care waht u guys think about looks just got some ideas running through my head? wher would i source them from?? do they come in fiberglass? any help ,appreciated. cheers.
