Have you had a chance to dyno?

Never had it on the Dyno, next step would have been to remap ECU & tune

E30 m50 Sedan for sale – SA assembled

Selling my E30 – I’ve been slowly working at this for the last 5 years or more. Great motor very strong and drivable. Loads of torque and mid range power.

Good points

Have had the M50 in for 3 years, have had time to iron out the issues that come with a engine swap and it is running great and very reliable.

· All certified (Engine,Wheels & Coilovers)

· Current Rego & WOF

· Recently replaced brake lines with braided aftermarket

· Electric windows/mirrors/sunroof all work as they should

· New front wish arms

Bad points.

· Minor Oil leak

· Boot carpet is a bit rough

· Passenger lock sometimes doesn’t work

· Leather showing its age.(still looks good)

· Needs a new coolant sensor plug (easy fix, may do if I have time)

Good advice thanks Jon - I'll do that

Its street use only Jon. Im prepared to spend whats reasonable but i'm just not sure if ordering a Wilwood kit (or similar) is a overkill... at 3k + to do front and rear its a big call.

Yeah sorry standard 325i vented discs with disc rears - running 16" rims

Anyone have anything sitting in the shed they want to liquidate into $$$'s

Looking for maybe an RX7 caliper setup or any big brake kit?

Anything considered at this stage.

Thanks

Out of curiosity what's the second hand value of the bilsteins?

I had similar senario and for what its worth I went with coilovers, one of the best investments I've made so far.

Brilliant - thanks.

I'm removing the front strut from the housing - To remove the collar at the top I understand there is a "special" tool that I don't have.

Before I butcher it - Is there a recommend way to do this that wont destroy the collar ?

Thanks

Recheck the torque on the plugs ? sometimes they wiggle loose especially if you've replaced them recently. Has happened to be twice now. Love hate relationship with torque settings

This - Happened to me a while after changing plugs. It was the first time I used a torque wrench to do them which made me laugh

Great work mate

whats the inlet size?

Looks cool dude

looking good man, one of my favourite builds on here.

Can do a 2 door tech 2 kit for $1450. Also a tech 1 by negotiation.

4 door tech 2 any chance?

Thanks - I have searched the interweb for specs and cant find any info in a bilstein spring that match the numbers on the side - I wonder if these came factory on some SA e30's.

when I search the vin # for parts I get 2 options a motorsport spring and another that says "applies only to bilstein"

Would anyone be able to confirm this theory?

They're out of my sa e30 325i - Replacing bushings/mounts etc and the Bilstien shocks are going to be rebuilt but not sure if I want to reuse these or look at replacing them...?

At what point do you replace springs?

I have no idea how long they have been on the car.

Best of luck - I like the branding, very now.

H&R sport cup kit

I have seen those on TM, would be too low for me.

Im trying to go slightly higher and focusing on handling.

GLWS

Have started to to look for a suspension upgrade for my e30 thought I'd check to make sure someone isn't sitting on any gear that they no longer need

Looking for Koni/H&R combo or similar.

If anyone has Ground Control coilovers they're wanting to part with holla at me.

Thanks for all the interest - no longer for sale. I'm keeping it.

Next upgrade is suspension and brakes

Yes still for sale.

Anyone know if any retailers can get a PS4 before Xmas? Looks like first shipments are all sold...
