Picked up some new wheels today.

Pics to come, prepare the torches and pitchforks.

Chucked on some 16x7 OZ wheels, and went for a fang around Hampton. Also learned to use this sweet app "Race chrono" to time laps.

What colour wheels are you after?

Bought some 16x7 Enkei OZ wheels for trackdays

Hi team,

I have made the decision to offer up my old plate [ BMDUBS ] as I've done my dash and it's time to move on to new things.

Hasn't been registered since 2010 so the game's wide open for a return.

Have it printed in standard NZ plates.

$1000 ONO.
Will trade for 4x1hunnit wheels, low offset, no fakes.

Also trackday'd it with Rob over the weekend. 190 down the back straight before diving on brakes to safety go through the final twisty easily in 3rd.

Wearing stock 14's for the Indian file, but massive thanks to Ashkan for some 15" semis that were sticky as F*** in the dry.

Tried Race Brakes who referred me yo HiTech but can't get the lines out and in today.

Ray to the rescue as usual! I'll pick up the hardlines I need from HellBM today and hopefully hoist up tonight or tomorrow.

Nevermind, it's a leak in my hardline LHS. So new question:

Rip the booster out and push your foot down harder.

Have considered booster delete, but considering I haven't done a leg day ever in my life and work in an office 10+ hours a day, I think I need the assistance.

Typical e30. They are all spongy like that. Why e36 booster though ?

Just weighing options. Would prefer a 9 year old second hand part to a 20 year old second hand part if they're the same cost/effictiveness.

is the pedal still going to the floor even after the bleed?

I pretty much just have manual brakes at the mo, no power assist. Can audibly hear air escaping from the booster when I'm depressing pedal.

EDIT: LHS Hard line is corroded. New new line bent up asap pls.

Hi team,

Pretty confident my E30 brake booster is shot. Pedal is spongy as hell and goes to the floor when engine on, and can audibly hear air from the booster when pumping brakes while engine is running.

Sounds like this - not my video but audio is exact the same:

Have bled and re-bled brakes and while engine off the pedal is harder.

Anywho - my main question is, has anyone slapped an E36 booster on their 30? And if so, how easy/hard was this? The internet/Google isn't very helpful today and I'm running out of time so thought I'd ask here before going and forking our for a cheap 36 booster: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/brakes/auction-790232192.htm

Cheers,

Not today but on Saturday I went to bleed my clutch and could not re-pressurise the system to save my life. Not even a trickle of fluid coming down, no matter what I tried and we tried everything - well everything the internet told us to try at least.

New master/slave to be picked up this afternoon - so round 2 clutch. Come at me brah.

Ordering clips to redo m-tech 2 kit also as they're a bit old/mal-aligned.

Gavins got them coming in, top service as always and both cost less than half that of Ripco.

Cheers,

Repco's new master costs $492 - dreaming mate.

Seems like I won't find something today, unless someone txt/s calls me as I'm signing off BS now.

#E30lyf

Gavin at Euroitalian has this stuff

Yeah, not on a Sunday though.

Need working E30 clutch master/slave cylinders for tomorrow pickup if possible. If nothing's going, I'll call Ray on Monday.

If anyone works for Repco etc, any ideas on if they stock new clutch master/slave for E30 and I'll just grab one as my hearts bleeding she's been road legal 3 days and after going to bleed my clutch, she's off the road again.

Txt/call me as I'm not as forum heavy as I used to be.

Moselle Ave is just up from home, I'll swing by. Cheers.

Anyone have any braided brake lines going or know where I can score some in Auckland before the weekend?

If not, I'll purchase online and fit in a couple weeks as they're pretty affordable from overseas.

Thought I'd 'try' support my locals first, but @ retail $280+ for some lines, it's a bit much.

Fresh WOF and reg yesterday.

Emily's legal.

Bump

Is there anything 4x100 out there at all? 15 or 16, ET20 or less

Yesterday, I went for my first real drive in 2+ years. The fresh M20 is awesome.

Thanks Ray.

Haven't seen this thread for 3+ years, hope the cold turkey's going well Glenn.
