Dashboard Restorations in Glenfield are wicked as. They do really good work but the problem is that it can cost a bit. A friend had his dash done by these guys and it honestly looked better than new. They also do Custom dashs for extra gauges and tv screens. If you love your car money is not an issue unless you have none.

Dammm What sort of punk pays that much for 15s? I spoke to the seller on the phone the other day. He only expected $450 which was the reserve. But 3g!!!!!!!!! That stupid. Good on the seller. I will let you know if he actually gets the cash for them. Man and I really wanted those wheels too. Those would have been awesome on my car. Pitty they have crappy snow tires on them. Good for drifting but dont last too long feel really soggy.

Hi guys I want good looking cheap mags to fit an e30 that dont look gay. I dont like most of the new style mags as all you can get are super large with rubberband tyres. Stupid. Im more into the practical options. 15s or 16s. I like oldschool but not Tridents. I really like these ones. I like to keep things looking BMW not so much BLING BLING homeboy styles. So if you guys have suggestions (photos are good) thats great. Thanks

I rang BNT for a spigot bearing but they dont have listing for a E30 318i spigot bearing. I guess that I will need to call BMW and get the part number or does someone know what that is or what equivlant bearing would fit?

Transformers was wicked. Those were the days. I think the new transformers is gay compared to the old ones. The old ones were way more violent. Voltron... wicked robot action. awesome.

The one Im taking out is a 4.45 but think that its got a problem as it sounds like a very distant concrete cutter (hiss). My problem at the moment is finding somewhere to get a Spigot bearing as Repco dont sell them..? I will give Saeco a call on monday to see if they do them. Anyone know where I can get one?

So What your saying is the diff I have will give good accelleration or good top speed?

Im no mechanic but what is the prefered ratio? the diff I got says 4:10 Is that arse?

Thnx heaps for the photos... Doesnt look too hard. how can you tell what the ratios are on a Diff?

Yeah I probably will replace them with Philips.

Someone who had owned the car before me had screwed up the alignment of the sunroof and munted the screws real good. I think it was because of the Torx screws. I havent been able to find a decent driver for these and the guy who put them in last totaly stripped the heads so I had to take them out with Vice Grips. Can I get these screws somewhere? and where can I find a decent driver? Thanks

Auckland would have been cool no matter what the track was like but I always loved the Wellington one as it was such an interesting track. This use to rank as high for me as the Bathurst 1000 (pre Aussie V8 monsters) when the racing was interesting. Its a great excuse to go away.... I wonder how I can convince my wife that it would be good idea?

///Carl could you post the photos? That would be really helpful. Im figuring that the Pedal box is probably going to be the hardest part. Would I be right?

The kit is out of a 91 E30 318i, so it has the new shifter setup (solid alloy rather than the what looked like pressed metal in the earlier ones). This kit was put into another BMW for a week which had built up but went to get a warrent and the car failed on some pillar damage so the car was broken down for parts. I also got a diff with the kit which I think has better ratios (still to confirm) than the one that came with the Auto. I really wanted a LSD but they are soooooooo hard to come by. As far as i can tell all mounts etc are good.

Hi, Has anyone here done a manuel conversion on a e30 318i or any e30? Im just looking for pointers on what to look out for, what not to do, and any tricks. Ive got all the parts, (box, drive shaft, clutch, pedelbox, flywheel etc) Thanks
