Jacko

Is it real clever to put videos of you driving like a doush on public roads with your number plate flashed all over the place? Just Sayin'

Ill try find a time this week to head down and grab one, unless your willing to courier one?

Its gonna be interesting getting the suspension setup right, now that everything is adjustable (incl the rear sway bar) Need a track day

Bump

Had an absolute ass of a time getting the trailing arm bushes in. Getting the urethane bushes in is piss easy, but getting the steel centre peice in as well is "problematic" I nearly threw my toys! Dont ask how I eventually did it, as its mongrel as Replaced the two inner CV boots on the new half shafts, they had some signs of cracking and thought might as well do it now. Messy doesnt even begin to cover it! Got the whole rear subframe assembled with the new LSD. Looks mint! Forgot camera though. Very happy all the bushes are finally done now. Its a mare of a job, next time im paying someone to do that sh*t! Courier turned up with 4 new brake rotors, pads, and a set of BC gold coilovers (which actually look pretty good!) Should have the suspension nailed by tommorrow arvo, then the M50 goes in. All going to plan shes on the road this weekend. I hope this M50 is a good un

The 787B is one of extra cars you get with the collectors edition. You get like 5 carbon (stealth) cars and 5 chrome line cars (silver racing stripes). The 787B and the Mclaren F1 GTR own all. Its around 800hp stock, but you can buy a big turbo for it ands its 900odd and is ludicrous fast in a straight line and around corners. Hmmm... hard slicks ya rekon.. Ill try that on the next one, i found soft ones improved my lap times in the f1 GTR so went with that with the bugatti. I didnt really give it much of suspension tune though, cracked 430kmh and threw it in the lard ass pile

Mazda 787B, lap 5 on most courses and It laps people. Piss easy to win, not very sporting though

Swaybars and Shock/Springs sold

Hahaha, pass that veyron around! You win them in the gran turismo world champ event thing. Goes pretty fast in a straight line, not so flash on the corners.... Still its like 1200hp and 1400kg when done up. Need to have a race with Veyron Vs the 900hp 800kg Mazda 787B stealth model. That thing is stupid fast, and goes around corners too.

Anyone got a suspension setting for a mini 1.3 (98) that they like? Mine has 180hp, scandanavian flick steering results in it rolling over onto its roof. Quite comical, not very good for winning races. Really quite gutted you cant sell that rude as POS veyron...

Could do, but you would need to pay shipping costs. Ill ship for bimmersport members, hows that. Dont really wanna go to the trouble of sending something for a $1 though

Screw it, they need to go lol $1 reserve

My nick thing is ghhttrre22wssddc ( I got fuct off every other nick being taken! ) Ill add you lot now.

Bumpppppppppppppppppp. Surely someone wants uber cheap lowering springs + sports shocks and swaybars etc Theyre around a 50mm drop, nice spring rates, not rock solid and are nice for everyday driving. Shock are around 30% harder than stock. Make your E30 go around corners

http://www.venommotorsport.com/supersport-suspension.php For $500 ill do supersport springs and shocks, Mtech swaybars with new polyurethane bushes. Can organise fitting for good rate too.

Lots of work, not much progress! Getting the rear subframe bushings out was an ass. Cant set them on fire due to location, so did it the hard way. Bit of a clean up and some paint and theyre ready for new bushes. Got clutch on and gearbox bolted up, only 4 bolts (the big uns) line up between the M20 260 box and M50.

Oh my bad, never seen it before, its gutless anyway

Yeh man that'd be good, thanks.

Day 3, a few steps forward, a few steps back.... Got the shifter and box finsihed, put a slice in the upper bush to get it on the stick. Feels epic. So much tighter and sharper than it used to be! B23 Flywheel resurfaced and the face machined to clear block. Itsy flywheel for the size of the engine, a 4AGE flywheel is bigger! Took about 5mm of material off the block side of the wheel, which gives about 2mm clearance. Bit of a plastic bead and it is one secksie looking 26 year old flywheel! Got the rear subframe out after lots of swearing, RH CV spline was seized, broke two puller bolts in half trying to get it out, the tension was HUGE! Big ass rattle gun struggling to crank it up enough. Finished up the front suspension, and then happened to glance at the front LH strut. UH OH Spaghetti Oh! Thats a 3"+ crack running around the spring perch. Im sure the only thing holding the perch in one peice is the cone shape! Good excuse to do coil overs now. Decided to get the rust in the car fixed while its in the shop too. The Bill Gets Bigger... And Bigger....

All this stuff is currently available. I also have a supersport cup kit, lowering springs and sports shocks to fit a 51mm e30. Low ks, theyre about a year old. TUV certed, made in germany. Bargain at $400.

No such thing as an M52B25. M50B25 iron block, 2.5 litre twincam, later engines M50B25TU have vanos M52B28 Alloy block 2.8 litre twincam, later engines M52B28TU have twin vanos Both make 190ish hp, M52 makes a bit more torque down lower. Your factory loom and ECU will in no way shape or form work. There are HEAPS of threads and websites on this subject. It aint cheap though. You can do it cheap, or you can do it right. www.e3024v.com http://www.e30dohc.com/wiki/index.php?title=DOHC_Swap_Basics Read

One that ends all the kiwi sheep rooter jokes. Kiwi and an Aussie walking down the road. The Kiwi spots a sheep with its head stuck in the fence and says "Woooohooo! Shotgun!" He quickly runs over and gives it too the poor sheep in the fence. The Aussie observes slightly perplexed. Kiwi finishes up and turns to the Aussie "Your turn mate" The Aussie proceeds to put his head in the fence.

BBS - I think you might be thinking late model E30 shift bush, the cup bush thing is one peice. You can see my early style shifter in the photo. Mine has a two peice cup, lower piece slides over the bush in the bottom of the shifter, upper peice has a spring and a metal cup washer, then a locking ring which need to all go down from the top (hence the two peice stick) Maybe I just need to cut em to get em on, or chop and weld the shifter back together

M10-150 I think. Its the big long bugger that goes at the bottom of the alternator with the loose nut on the end. It'd be the longest bolt on the engine by far, I cant find anything in the scratch box long enough. Chur!
