Fixed back fibreglass seat. Still current FIA rated till 2012 I think. Black in colour. Pics of actual seat will be up soon. $550. Stop me from turning the touring into another silly race car! Will swap for E30 wheels.

Pics. As you can see, they may as well be brand spankers - except without the mold lube.

How much are you looking for? Wouldn't mind them if they're cheap?

Brilliant! You have a buyer I'll PM you shortly.

Sold thanks.

Hi, all. I'm after some rims. In suitable offsets for an E30 touring, I'm not keen on stretch or poke. And I'm after rims that look factory, Alpina/Hartge/etc. Reps or real, not too fussed (though, don't expect me to pay big dollars for reps though) 16" 7-8" wide 17" 7.5-8.5" wide Yes I know I'm asking a lot. But I'd really like to use the pile of rather expensive rubber sitting in my garage. Otherwise, check the For Sale Section for the rubber (I guess if I can't use them, I'll sell them).

Synergy V8. Good 'ole Kiwi engineering. Made right round the corner from our workshop actually 350-500hp N/A.....not bad for a 2.4L eh?

Yeah, I was only expecting it to arrive on Friday. I am now extremely excited

Have a pair of Bridgestone MY01 tyres in 205/50R16. Standard rolling diameter for E30's. Can't find any 16"s for the touring, so these are for sale. I want $200 pickup. Is that a fair price? Let me know. $165 to bimmersporters SOLD TO MAX. GREAT TRADE A+++

Was about 300nzd shipped for the IE motor and box ones

Volvo's awesome...But so bad on gas and parts it's not even funny.

Looks like you could mill that out of appropriately sized rhs - but the drawings didn't include the radii of the holes....what specs are the bolts Glenn?

I've got the Ireland Engineering for motor and box (well, I guess Sammy does now) but they're still good. I don't think I drive anywhere near as hard or as much as you do though! Oh man, you're gonna love the aftermarket support available for SR's. P.S. Is one of those M20's mine?

I <3 JPS logos, though, looks a little weird without the J, but I quite like it - especially if you have the characteristic gold mesh rims to match! Definitely ring up classic cover to ask - they're usually quite understanding and will walk you through what you need/have to do. Btw, the way I interpret the law, with vans, is that if you're relying on the window for visibility then it it has to comply with virtually the same sorta rules as passenger vehicles. However, if you black it out completely, you can not use it or rely on it for visibility so it ceases to be a "window". So you wouldn't look through it and think there were no hazards when in fact the sticker/tint may be obscuring it. With it opaque you don't even look through it so you rely on other means to identify hazards.

I'd be interested in the dimensions too.

If you're going for an S50 transplant......I daresay - buying a M3 might be cheaper Already lower, sorted suspension, gearbox, diff, bushes, etc all uprated from factory, get the nice interior too, bigger brakes....all for <$15k. Seen this? Or this? But if you just want a simple, effective drop, maybe a H&R cup kit, or similar would be the best? Everything already matched. Or, if you're already going for an S50 - it's a lot heavier, so it'd drop the front anyway (but this isn't really an ideal solution).

Whilst what 3pedals said is true, I'd be more concerned with the change in spring rate over geometry (assuming you do not lower it excessively. In summary, the understeer would probably occur on entry, but anytime a lift or the front is not loaded in plane = oversteer. I'm not entirely convinced this would be all that apparent at road speeds?

Legally it should be fine - the only (theoretical) issues are if the spring rates for the lowering springs in front are significantly higher, and/or the roll centre change promotes more weight transfer, then it may promote push or understeer? Not sure if the camber gain would negate this mid corner or not. Also, because of the change in spring, ideally you'd get matching dampers too. Though, the above may be negligible for road/commuting. Oh and definitely get an alignment after lowering, your static values will most likely be different post-lowering. Again, my (possibly not very useful) 2c.

Saw it turn off onto Great South Rd, man, tech1 coupes are super choice!

Bump

Nah they're going to be shipped.....tooooo busy to do a sweet roadtrip.

Yeah, Graham's old touring is returning to Auckland. Cars are leaving their respective cities tomorrow

Lols when are you gonna sell them to me?
