Ford would make better bbq's out of their blocks than holdens..since they still in the dark ages using iron compared to holdens alloy, but still isnt slowing them down in the v8 supercars is it? Ford FTMFW

Borders, or Magnetix in Welly. Surely Auckland has Borders

Its always good to have little frights like these everyonce and a while, just sharpens you up. The usual, going way to fast around a roundabout in the rain is my personal favourite, or forgetting to brake earlier when coming up to roundabouts in the rain. Always happens at roundabouts...lucky I dont have a LSD or id be having even more trouble haha
-
Yes first gear is terribly short, I dont think I will ever go faster than a 197 in a e30 LOL
-
On a side note, what is the best ratio diff to put in a e30 for track work/daily driving?? Surely anything better than a 4.27:1
-
^ That is sickkkkkkkkkkk

Bumpage: I need: These pieces of a e30 325i rear sway bar: And if anyone has a unbroken windscreen washer cap like this: PM me or leave a post here, whatever is easiest

Sorry here are some pics, mainly cocked it up cos i managed to strip two important bolts then got frustrated and made it worse lol... So I need another one of these..if all diffs have universal versions of this part.... I want parts and advice, I need to know whether all e30's have the same number of teeth on the spline so i can find one thats got the same teeth (this one has 27 i think) and has 6 bolt holes (i dont know if there are different versions of this piece) thats all. The flange has the numbers 499 and 37 printed inside if that helps Im pretty sure mine is a small case diff, it has four bolts on the diff So if anyone wants to sell me a good condition part of what I have below and is preferably in Wellington I will be happy. Sorry if this is a confusing as post, im a bit of a noob when it comes to diff's The only other alternative is to replace the diff to a better ratio if anyone has one (in welly that they want to get rid of) PM me Cheers

My car has a 4.27:1 diff, I stripped two bolts (on one side) trying to disconnect the driveshafts off, grinded the bolts off, then semi damaged the driveshaft flange and realised some of the teeth on the spline are chipped anyway so better replace it haha. I will take a picture of the exact part I need tonight, but was wondering if most e30's have the same teeth pattern on the spline? My diff is 4 bolt on the diff to the driveshaft flange and has 6 bolts where the driveshaft flange meets the shaft.. Hope that makes sense, will put some pics up later, just thought would ask while Im thinking about it. Any help is appreciated
-
i may still have mine, il have a look first thing tmoro
-
wow that is immaculate. has to definitely be one of the nicest and most original e30s on here, that car is a credit to you, looks amazing

probly wont see much of a change considering the nz $ is at its lowest trading point in 5 years at under 53c...so kinda cancels the effect out sadly
