centrifugal < roots m62 would be better suited than m45. just find a crashed merc kompressor. there are 2 on trademe atm. a bit more expensive than an sc14 but much more efficient for a 2.5l. -
the nolathane ones fit over the standard factory spring pads
-
how far from the ground is that josh? looks tidy. only thing i'd do is put some thicker spring pads in the back to lift it a tad and even it out

crunchy or anyone do you know if the mapecu2 can control vanos or even be used on an engine with vanos and still control ignition?
-
Yes i did. Rob was great to deal with. I got in contact with him first in regard to their blemished parts deal. He made everything as easy and cheap as from there. You might notice some slight blemishes on the paint of the flywheel. theres a slight scratch on the paint on the other side as well. Nothing that effects the function of the product

For brakes i'll be getting some slotted brembo's for the front and genuine pads. I've also got come braided lines from alert engineering. Might also rebuild the calipers I've also got those brembo calipers that I might fix up and get rotors built for at a later date I've already purchased the rear subframe reinforcement plates and an xbrace after seeing the subframe reinforcement plates in person i wish i'd just made them up

got some new toys plus e34 m5 clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and flywheel bolts Still need to buy pilot bearing,throwout arm pivot and flywheel seal and need to borrow, rent or buy a clutch allignment tool(edit: just use a rod with tape wrapped around it) I also want to replace the shifter bushes while i'm in there. Not really sure what is necessary to replace. If anyone could inlighten me that would be much appreciated anything else i should replace while i'm in there? guibo is in good condition and mounts will be replaced with e21 items (i think that's what they are from) (edit: guibo was replaced anyways)

mapecu would be a good piggyback for this.gets rid of maf sensor and goes to map. if it is a non vanos engine you will be able to adjust spark as well m50 injectors are high impendance

for sorting out your tune try mapecu.com

call up gavin at euroitalian for bushes. another forum sponsor he has the best prices most of the shocks are interchangeable between e36's. Some early e36's(and m3) have a different spring seat and a front swaybar that links to the shock. what year is your 316?
-
bilstein or koni shocks-these shouldn't need to be shortened depending on how much you plan on lowering the car H&R springs from forum sponsor comman bushes and bits that need replacing on e36's are rear control arm bushes, front control arm bushes and rear shock mounts,control arm outer ball joints (i think i've forgotten something) rcab limiters, e36 m3 front cab's, and e46 rsm, meyle HD outer ball joints are all upgrades over the standard parts

would both diffs be open? do the front diffs in ix's have the same internals as a plain med(or are they large?) case diffs?
-
Can these be tracked just by the internet? Do you have a link to the product?
-
if you have increased the width of your wheels by an inch and they are the same offset as your standard wheels, the track width is increased by half an inch from standard
-
So when going for a cert do you borrow all of your friends different size wheels?

The title?
