"Racing star/BZ Racing" 4x100 17x7's, unsure of offset (FWD anyway) Includes spacers (~5mm non screwed type) and hub-centric rings to suit E30. Some curbing on 2 (?) wheels. Tyres are corsa 205/40/ZR17's will pass a few more wofs easily excuse the brake dust and mud, the will be cleaned Make me an offer around the 5 hundy mark before they go on tardme. Wheels available in 2 weeks, new wheels coming and my carport is filling up with E30 bits already...

Ahhk for some reason I thought 8 bolt was large, 6 was medium?

Stink

Will a large case diff fit into an E30? Im assuming the difference in length can be adjusted on the driveshaft? Would the output flanges be the same as my 85 323 with med case 3.23:1 diff?

Random. Maybe theyve changed their policies?

Yeh, no cert=no wof=no insurance AA/AMI flatout refused due to ticking the modified box. Whats a resonable theft excess. Got a qoute for $1300PA, but the theft excess is $2k!

Nice work man, looks like it eats corners! That summit rd run rocks, used to have lots of giggles down there in the GTSt.

Minter!

New dash, steering wheel and Sr2's. Enough money and time wasted on the inside now, time to stick the M50 back together. At least sitting in it doesnt remind me of being inside a dog kennel now

Bump. Dash and seats will be going in the skip if no one wants em.

Wondering if anyone can recommend me an insurer, 85 Tech1 e30 coupe with M50 swap etc. Wanting an agreed value policy, that isnt gonna screw me if it all turns pear shaped (ie state....) Have clean full license, no crashes etc and am 28. Most of the regular insurers wont cover me due to the non standard car, and NAC dont do agreed value. Any recommendations, maybe a broker is the go.

Looking at the car list, a few newish bimmers, lotsa old Nissans/toyotas (pre 80's skylines etc), and some italian super cars. No E30 M3 But there is an A110 Alpine

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=317326183 This monster was created to win a design and engineering challenge, it smoked the competition! Since winning the trike has been from auckland to cape reinga and back, 1072km, so it is VERY well proven (in addition to the curbs we jumped with it!) Its got over 1300km of testing and racing on it 50% of the proceeds of the auction go to child cancer, the bike has already generated $2600 in prize money and sponsorship for child cancer, the auction of it is the final lump to them. The other 50% of the price goes into making Mk2 for next years challenge. Its awesome to ride BTW, like pedalling a roll cage! Sits low, corners hard! Montage Vid of the build and its first win Much appreciation for pumping this auction up as hard as you can. We wanna break 4k to charity.

Yeh just turned up in Auckland, 5min ago it was sunny, now its dark

Will do, thanks. C5A on the nuts? Looking at realoem the nuts are supposed to be copper? Mine are definitly steel, which is probably why it was so easy to remove the studs

Hey, I managed to wind out all but two of my exhaust studs out of the M50's head, wondering if anyone has a preferred thread locker for when I bang them back in. Im a loctite hoe, but cant think of one that'll take uber temperature, does the flange/studs even get that hot?. Or is there another product to use?

That'd be Brent (Brent HARTGE535i user name) If its the 525iX that was in his yard a few weeks, someone has already beaten both you and me too the booster

Awesome, Thanks mate.

Cheers, is #12 the right thing?, the diagrams kinda vague and has 3 different p/n for the same thing.

Im after some of the little screw/clip things that hold the panel under the steering column on, anyone have some handy? Ive got no idea what they look like, 3 off them. Im assuming some half turn doofa? #12 here maybe? - http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=...hg=51&fg=30

Bonus! It still works, and no smoke escaped! apart from being thick and putting the steering wheel back on all on the piss, successful mission

Nah the clio one is a smaller diameter, fits the E30 master cylinder and the mount bolts are the same Lots of different radiator options, im using a E36 328i one with built in tank. You will have to go electric fan, theres no clearance at the front of the engine, so fan goes on front side of radiator. Whats the Z3 for?

Dash - Full of cracks, but the vents are still good! - Free 4 spoke steering wheel, good nick - $20 NIB Steering rack end - $30 Coupe front seats (not recaros), Drivers side bum pad is totally shagged (needs recovering/seat cover), other than that they are not bad - Free

Sweet as. Successfully (well it looks right) hacked out the alarm. This is the random plug, its behind the cylinder head up against the firewall, runs along the top of the engine loom - The 3 wires up the A pillar are still unknown, car has the checklights and electric sunroof, but they run up the passengers A pillar, and they all work anyway. Im guessing it may be remants of an old cop detector, as there is some sorta random bracket attached next to the check lights. EDIT - For anyone who cares, ive never read this before, but theres some difference between a facelift and p/facelift dash. Flift dash loom has male plug, P/flift has female loom plug, and the glove box catch brackets between the too are slightly different (took me awhile to figure out why it wouldnt close )
