bravo

You can order a plate from german plates or similar with just about any logo on them, if not a vinyl sticker can be made to go over your silver fern for a few dollars. A few guys on this forum have received tickets for there non-ltsa euro plates and have reverted to nz ones. Cheaper than the real ones until you get caught.

Rear look s OK, front is too high. Maybe you have some mismatched springs. Get some decent quality supa lows - I think you'll be happy with the result.

That's pretty cool. The scratch guard self-healing paint (bottom of the article) sounds even better.

I like them, but the edges of the spokes are a bit too square compared to the BBS ones for me. But they still look good. I looked at them, but then found my BBS RB reps and so went with them instead.

Doesn't look that low. My car looks same as yours, but only has 35mm drop. Pic of my car when it had a 60mm rear, 55mm front drop:

Welcome. Been waiting to see one of these. An obvious conversion, but the sr20det seems much more popular. One question. Why did you go rb20? why not rb25 seeing as it takes up the same space, costs not much different, has more aftermarket turbe etc options and goes so much harder?

$15 or less from repco from memory. Just take a drive to your nearest repco, auto one or bmw $tealership.

Not me, I have done a lot of research on megasquirting my e30 so have a few clues as to where to start and am hoping to check out at least of couple already done to learn from others mistakes. Sounds like yours is a bit different to what I will be doing though. If you go into your settings for the board, you can add a picture or text as your signature so it automatically appears below each post.

sh*t. Our thoughts are with you guys, this I know. Rest in Peace Jocko, you won't be quickly forgotten around these parts. Graham

Do the manual while the motor is out and it is easy. From memory your ecu is an M/S? What board are you using? Would be interested in seeing it when you get it running as I want to use one to run an S/C m20b25. Also would be interesting in sourcing a missing part on my 4-door tech II kit if your bro is going to be buying a whole kit for you. Cheers mate.

Come on the next bimmersport cruise and you'll change your mind about dumping your car on its ass and making it handle like a fat pig. Right Pierre? e30's can look low enough, and handle good without dropping them on their ass.

Interesting Gus. Al's suggested a similar (same?) stainless rear box as an alternative to a mild steel one with a tip. At this stage the most attractive option is to maybe replace the coby with a mild steel muffler of some sort???? Which is waht I think hotwire was getting at. Yeah its 2.5". Again, after consultation with Al's they said 2.25" would be best, but 2.5" would be OK, and would allow me to keep it later on down the track when (if?) I go S/C. Still appreciate anyone elses helpful comments. P.S. everyone I talk to up here thinks it is awesome. Which only helps reinforce my thoughts that it isn't lol. PPS - before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not bagging Al's. They didn't do the work. Top guys for helping me with all the info.

Please elaborate? I initially talked with Al's mufflers (recommended on this forum) and they recommended essentially the same system, but with 2 resonators. Assured me it wouldn't be obnoxiously loud. I was unable to get the car to them as I live 3 hours drive away, so I went local armed with the info from Al's. I am happy to go back and drop the $ to make the required mods as I am still a couple of hundy under budget, but want to make sure I only have to "fix" it once.

Thnanks for the pos comments. Thanks Ollie - prob a good idea. Waste of a good coby though.... But it definately must be quietened down a bit.

Ok, so the exhaust is more or less sorted now: But, problem is it is much too loud. Advice on best way to quiet it down? The shop I went to thinks another res should do the trick. Want another opinion though if poss. Chur.

Will kommen. I have one of those as my next bimmer once I am finished with the current toy. Loving yours. Badass.

Bien venue. Nice looking car.

Hey there Jocko buddy, KT and I thinking about you mate and I hope all this comraderie brings you strength. We've only known each other fleetingly, but it has always been enjoyable. My mother won her fight last year, and I know you have the strength. I'll see you at the next meet mate. Graham

Anything up to $600 full retail including labour. There is a huge variability on price of service shops and service. If you are handy with a spanner, and can follow instructions carefully, you can do it yourself.

malo! Welcome to the forum.

I was once having a rant to the guy next to me in the burger king line on Queen Street about the absolutley crap job the staff were doing for the customers in front of us. Told the guy it was no wonder drop kicks like that worked in fast food. I then asked him what he did for work "Oh, I work at Maccas up the road". f**k.

Jaysus! to both videos.

Didn't even know this was on. Was this advetised on the forum? Wouldn't have made it anyway, but sounds like everone is up to their usual tricks with the help of a few others. Bay meet, the new Nthlnd meet? Good work gettn amongst it.

Best BMW ute conversion. Gets my vote anyhow. Badass.

Or more likerly, the drain hose in the firewall from wiper motor cavity is blocked which means the cavity fills up with water and overflows into the cabin via the heater system. Hose is on the firewall above where the steering linkage goes through the firewall. Its a flat, oval downpipe. Just remove it entirely.
