Do it once, properly, or ya just burning money

You should hang em off the roof rack, and put a gun rack in the back while your at it Does look pretty cool though, a little bit 1980's rallyish with the spots and wipers.

Chur! Just saw the joints listed above. Thanks for the help.

Whats the story with replacing the ball joints on an E30 front lower arm? Is it possible? Ive read conflicting stories. Has anyone here done it? If its not possible, or advised.. Whatya rekon? http://www.schmiedmann.com/3_series/E30/Sp...s/page1.htm#532 Firken cheap compared to BMW original prices, everything else ive gotten from schiedman that isnt OEM looks pretty good too me.

Cream interior is cool Is your suspension broken?

Asked Ian Haynes about my purge valve conundrum, and your on the money polley. Sounds like the bentley manual isnt quite right. A 1k resistor is enough to make the DME happy, apparently BMW actually made a clip with the resistor in it to plug into the loom for this reason. Easy fix
-
Nice man, looks cool. Battery too boot - Weight distribution and engine bay looks better. APT - I have a spare cable etc if your interested, factory bits. They use a cool little + block that bolts to firewall with a cover.
-
The bentley manual rekons that the valve gives a pulsed ground Doesnt sound so simply to trick...

Week 2. Bit patchy but she'll pull through on the day

Just stumbled across p/n for M50/52's serpentine belt, with no powersteering pump, but with the idler. 56.25" is the length. p/n - K060557 6PK1415

Just cleaned the car Its turtle wax wheel cleaner in the orange bottle. Works good.

Makes you wonder why the E30 M3 was left out, particularly with the 2.5 190E's in the game. Maybe it was a move by BMW... Was it Gt2 that didnt allow you to change wheels on the bimmers? Still, probably the best list of cars in any car game ever ie Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA 1600 '65 Alpine A110 1600S '73 Audi quattro '82 Caterham Seven Fire Blade '02 Cizeta V16T '94 Dodge Charger 440 R/T '70 DOME-ZERO Concept '78 Ginetta G4 '64 Jensen Interceptor MkIII '74 Lamborghini Countach LP400 '74 Lamborghini Miura Volkswagen Golf I GTI '76 Lancia DELTA S4 Rally Car '85 Lancia STRATOS '73 Lotus Carlton '90 Marcos Mini Marcos GT '70 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe '54 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II '91 Mitsubishi STARION  4WD Rally Car '84 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe (Type-1) '68 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Evolution 2 Rally Car '86 Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Rally Car '85 Triumph Spitfire 1500 '74

^ +1 It dont do miracles, but she works well. Stuff in the clear orange bottle?
-
Bump. Can possibly install the M20 in your E30 for a good rate, but itll depend on what bits you have already. If your interested we can discuss.
-
Yeh its nuts, lots of 70-80's sports cars, even euopean ones, but no E30 M3....

Dont like insurance either?, if coil overs arent legal in your state, why bother. Spend your money on some good adjustable shocks and some lowering springs. If you want to drift, look at meaty sway bars (whiteline do good ones) and stiffen up the ass end of your E30 along with a reshimmed LSD. I used to live in Aus, you guys dont have any mountains, you have hills and call them mountains
-
The welding isnt hard, but to get a cert, at least in NZ, will require mag particle inspection to make sure the welds arent cracked. The rear is standard for cheap E30 coilovers. You can put real coilovers into one, but the rear strut towers etc will need to be reinforced. Not Cheap. I strongly suggest you do a lot more research on everything. Check with whatever Aussie authority about coil overs too, as It may totally different rules too NZ.

Less than a can of VHT

Hmm maybe. Mines black, just an M badge on the back. Its not massively low and doesnt have tints though. I had a mufti cop behind me for a couple of K's down the motorway. Pretty sure he ran my plates etc, I was waiting too be pulled over so was driving very sensibly. He musta decided I was kosha in the end though
