^ Yup, the online seasonal races are better than the normal A spec ones.

US - Month/Day/Year. Ie 9/11/01 is the 11 of the september. So its actually 11-9-01 and your mayan calendar is all screwed up... 14 - 19 - 12 or If the mayan's/aztec's/aliens were americans it'd be 19 - 14 -12 And I was so looking forward to the 19th month. Wasnt the world supposed to end in 1999, and then in 2000, and then 2001 as well?

I think Sheens been possessed by Hunter thompson. Dude should run for president.

Fuct. time for new engine/rebuild. Sounds like something big let go.

Gotta update to 1.05(?) its on the main "home" screen along with the online car dealer thing and all the other icons.

Hey, just wondering if theres any difference in major mechanical/suspension parts between an e30 84 prefacelift coupe and a 90 touring. Are the rear suspension subframes the same? Shocks, swaybars etc? Anything else? Looked on OEM but didnt find anything obviously different, did I miss something? Doing some thinking

New slave cylinders are cheap, if its being a bitch its likely got something funky going on, easier to just replace it with a new one.

Anyone got a good car for doing the historic racing event, without 20 million dollareo? Best ive come up with is the 74 countach, can stay ahead of everything but the chapperel 2J vacuum cleaner thing, which eats everything for breakfast... Should be banned from GT5 too

Tried disconnecting the fuel line (into a bucket) and getting a helper to flick the igniton on. If fuel pisses everywhere its not the pump

I wanna see a 7 litre v8 FWD toyota camry Gotta Agree the current NZV8's dont do much for me, taxi racing.

The Whiteline suspension tech dude rekons it likely a bad tyre/s. Aparently its not uncommon to get one that has manufacturing errors... Has anyone got a set of 17's for an E30 with good tyres on them (preferably of the same width and offset), and want to try on my alpinas for a week/day/hour, so I can confirm that I have a dud tyre/s Ill pay beers

^ +1 Watching with interest, I wants me a 3 litre twin cam e30

Was bored today. Did the Grand valley endurance race with an AW11 MR2. Couple of hours sitting on ass for $150k and a stink honda. Bitter Favourite cars are the Aw11, and the Caterham 7. Took lots of tweaking to get em right, probably why they rule Anyone else got the TVR speed 6? Something about its handling is broken, its really odd. Understeers like a dog and does some really quirky things.

Is it just me or does one of them look like Steven tyler with a boob job....

Try check out the p/n on the side of the gearbox. Getrag 260's start with 260.xxxxx

Wheels are 17x7.5 ET20 (Alpina reps) Old tyres were 215/45/17 Milanza HZ1's, New tyres are 215/40/17 Toyo T1R's. I used to scrape my exhaust going over the speed bumps in the work car park with the old 45 series tyres. With the new 40 series tyres I dont Which makes me think the profiles sizes are a bit wack. I do have some funky camber going on, 3 degrees rear, 2 degrees front. But all the other alignment specs were in the green on the techs computer. Planning on raising the car a touch to sort my rear camber out, and installing M3 offset CAB's, in the near future, but dont know how this will effect "the waddle"

Work it out in terms of area, Find the biggest single fan you can fit, and the biggest twin fans you can fit and compare the areas ( Pi x r(^2) ) Go for max coverage of your radiator and you cant really go wrong. Single fan usually comes out on top. Stuff like blade design and rpm will effect the amount of air moved, but its still apples to apples if your using decent fans. The easiest way to wire em up, depending on amp draw, is a Davis Craig thermoswitch doofa. The switch is rated for 20A, so you can run most fans without a relay and its adjustable from like 40C-100C.

^ Yeah, but in saying that I cant be 100% without throwing the old tyres back on and trying it Anyone else experienced this "waddling" with T1R's?

Facelift or pre facelift?

7 or 7.5" cant remember. No stretch

Found something weird my E30 does in fast corners, (motorway at 2am in the long sweeping banked corner out towards the airport) im not 100% on whats causing it. The best way to describe it is a "waddle", feels like the front is trying to tuck in, but then sorts it sh*t out and levels, and then starts it all over again. All the bushes are 95ksi polyurethane jobbies, all new ballinks rack ends etc etc etc. BC racing coilovers, Whiteline swaybars (adj rear in the centre hole). 3.64LSD. New Toyo T1R 215/17/40's I dont recall it doing it with my old tyres, which were 45 profile (but in reality were a lower profile than the toyo 40's) But I also dont recall pushing it through this corner before either. Ive adjusted up the front shocks a few clicks, thinking maybe the combined spring rates of the coilover and sway bar were too much for the lower setting to control. But the rain has stopped me from testing out my theory Also wondering if this is the T1R's, much talked about, soft sidewall showing up? Or do I have some funky dynamic alignment change going on....

*SCHNITZER RUNNING GEAR .... Mmmmmk.

If batman drove a BMW, it'd probably look like this.

I normally just borrow loctite from work, but dont seem to keep these flavours in stock. Can anyone point me at a supplier that'll stock em?, either 680 or 638 should do the trick.
