  1. turbo an m50 block with dual vanos head. Depending on the power your after you might not want to go for forged internals you could put an m3 back end in. should do the job
  2. will join the line for the lsd. have the money
  3. for QUABE That says 300mm x22mm thick. First time they it has been opened. Other is still unopened
  4. And some front brembo brake rotors. Part number 34111164539 Suit some e46's and z3's Brand new. Wanting $150 but am open to offers or trades
  5. These are 17x8 et20. 2 piece. They share the same barrels as style 5's Had cleaned them up but never got around to putting them on my car. I'm in the process of fitting larger brakes, and have come to the conclusion i'd much rather have large brakes then have these wheels Wanting $1200 but I'm open to offers or trades. There are four of them
  6. Gutted to hear they are doing the same thing with you. I've also had bad dealings with these guys. I will never be purchasing from them again. They sent me the wrong part and would not refund it and were very rude about it. Over priced and useless customer service. I'll have a dig through and see if i can find their personal details again
  7. If your open to larger sizes i've got some 1000cc injectors. They are low impedance though. Just out of interest what ecu are you going to be using?
  8. may the banana slug rest in piece
  9. That isn't fun. Where to from here? fix, sell, burn

    I have some style 19's that will no longer fit over the brakes i'm using 17x8 et20. Same barrels as style 5's. Polished lips https://www.google.co.nz/search?rlz=1C1ARAB...1C4qyiQfD-ICoDA
  11. any chance that you're driving down to Hamilton any time soon?
  12. I'll be keen on the 3.43 once you've found a replacement
  13. Can use some of this stuff. http://www.rocol.com/products/non-destructive-testing-kit If getting someone else to do it isn't cheaper then the kit
  14. Did you have that mount profile cut or did you do it manually like a champ. Looks very tidy
  15. ah I forgot that not all e46's are drive by wire. did this solve the stiff pedal? I'd thought all e46's had a stiff accelerator
  16. pics need to be hosted or 800x600 or something have a look on the stickied threads. Getrag 260=e30 ... can fit but you'd might as well get a 220(or 250 or zf) that fits from the start. There are tags on the diffs. Wipe off all the road snot and it'll say something like 2.92 , 3.15, 3.23 etc The higher the number the faster the car will accelerate(in simple terms). But if you get a high number you'll have more rpms while your cruising at 100kph. 3.15 is around 3000rpm in 5th. any higher and you might get sick of it. m50 conversion has been discussed many a time and is my favorite secret story about bmws that every car guy loves to share. More power at higher rpms. Not a straight swap but not overly hard. Google it Manual conversion, a good clutch and flywheel setup, 3.15 or 3.23 diff and an lsd. If you want to beat a honda you might need to spend some more money
  17. yes this is normal. Takes a little getting used to
  18. so you can't turn the steering wheel? Steering lock is probably on. Put the key in it and turn it on Not sure what you've unplugged to stop the seats from working but you'll probably want to follow some wires or retrace what you've done

    Jealous of the DTA S80. Atleast they've(compared to link) sorted out traction control that isn't just for getting off the line. Whos dyno do you borrow/rent?

  21. $2 forum rules say you must name a price.
  22. Are the 2 front shocks different? Looks like one has a nut on the bottom and the other doesn't. I'm after another set of the ones with the nuts on the bottom if any pop up
