Stole someone's pic off trademe: These are not the set I have for sale (these ones are 4x114), but condition is much the same.

What's the deal with certing the unprotected front mount etc? Or is it not?
-
Sure. Rims are in Kerikeri. Free delivery to Auckland, but not available to view there.

Hooked the SC clutch feed up to pin 1 on connector c200 instead - power from ignition with ignition in ON position, but not when in START or ACC positions. I'm not sure whether the SC needs to to turn whilst cranking/starting, but started it 2-3 times so far OK. First time cranked for a bit to get fuel, and thyird time cranked a few times as I think it wanted a tiny bit of throttle to start. If it's always hard to start I'll try changing it to being on when ignition is in ON and START. Was going to be a PITA to hook up to AC switch as the blower fan would always be on low, and there's a diode on the AC clutch feed, etc. i could have figured it out, but this is better I think. Anyone know about this? Went to the generator - I actually think I added this a year or two ago when I was having earth-loop issues with my sounds. So I put it back as added security.

It runs! Drive line not connected, front of car still in bits, lots of finishing off to do , power steer not connected, a few warning lights, wiring needs tidying, but it runs. Bled coolant, and no issues with the motor. Should be able to do a shake down run by the end of the weekend all going well. Then I have to get a cert, and I suspect a couple of minor issues there as I have been reading the cert manual. Want the certifier to see it first though before I waste time doing it wrong.

Don't buy it - he wants the money to buy a Z3. Make him drive his e30 all over Europe like the old Gus would have!

I like it, the average n00b won't have a clue that it wasn't a factory model, and those that know will wonder if its just a badge or the real deal for about 5 seconds... until you pull away from them and there's nothing they can do about it.

Never mind, got some. Ask you're friendly neighbourhood power supply contractor - 2m for free cut off the roll - apparently they use it around the edge of switchboard doors.

Hi Darren, are these brand new centres? Can you elaborate on what is involved in converting an existing med case open diff to LSD with one of these? Ie are any other parts required?
-
Sounds like he is on the right track. Can you refine youre requirements more so we can help maybe a bit better: Approx budget. Proposed engine size or performance criteria Safety features required Number of doors etc My first suggestion would be take a look at a 318i manual e30, or a 325i manual e30, or 318i, or 325i, or 323i e36.

Used on edge of sheet metal to protect objects from being damaged on the sharp edge. I've seen guys with CAI's using it. Basically a u-shaped bit of nylon/rubber that pushes over the edge of the metal. Anyone know where I can get it?

What is it with you Gus?? SL500 z3 What's next mx5?
-
Yep - EVO BOV I'm told. The stock TB elbow blew up like a balloon. Had to go.

Correct. Plan to in the meantime hook up the clutch switch to the old AC switch. May be fairly simple to tap into the TPS and have it shut of at closed throttle - e30 TPS is pretty basic, the hard bit is getting it to activate a relay. Anyone who knows how to do this speak up. Tonight I got 90% of the wiring sorted - tomorrow night I should be able to test-start the motor. Anyone got any ideas on the following: I have a third horn - the horn itself works - accidently hooked it up to the indicators - interesting result when I flipped the hazard switch - at least no-one could argue they didn't know I intended to turn! Anyway, when plugged into the only spare plug that fits on the correct side of the vehicle it doesn't do anything - onnly the other two sound. Anyone know what the story is?! Also, I have two earth straps at the chassis point. One goes to the earth pin on the sump - where does the other go? My 320, and my dad's 323i only have the sump one. For some reason when I dismantled his didn't get labelled - must have been obvious at the time, but now I can'[t figure it out. I also have one spare plug on the driver's side where the headlamps are. It's clean so was plugged into something - everything works, so can't figure it out. The plug is black - can find out wire colours if necessary. Anyone know??? So close now.... Beer Count: 56

James - you do this. I know this.

I don't know how I missed this build! Top effort man. Will be keeping an eye on this.

E36 Rack into an E30 Conversion Write up
bravo replied to tibbs.james's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
I want to do this but didn't (deadline and all.) I too have added this as a future mod. Looks fairly easy -barely harder than a straight e30 rack swap anyway. -
Nice work Mike. I love your first comments. Methinks you and I would get on well. Good luck with this - will be following with interest.
-
They are smaller, but I've been told they fit.
-
Haha - sweet! Still not enough ground clearance though - need to be able to fit 35" tyres at least!

You need to put up a price or your thread will be removed. I'd rather not as I know a few members would be interested, but rules are rules and there for a reason.
-
Correct is 323e30 on here. not ethe TM username is also his ph number. Dodgy.
-
Please put up a price. In future, for sale threads without a price will be removed. Read the rules.

The only argument for FWD I'd ever actually rate! lol.
