Called the police, apparently there were around 50 other burglaries last night aswell. Looks like someone got their christmas shopping done early this year. There wont be anyone around until tommorow to finger print it, which is probally a waste of time anyway.

IIRC the front is easy and all bolt on. You need the valence aswell. Possibly the bumper shocks aswell? rear is a different story tho, which involves some cutting and welding. And in the end it will probally look funny with the higher rear arches.

Yeah, they would have to tow it for that thing to be going anywhere. I checked out the ignition and it dosent seem to be tampered with. They bent my chrome strip tho!

Woken up this morning by the neighbour. I had left my car outside on the road because brooks car is in the garage.. Cars been broken into. Smashed rear quarterlite window. They stole my MP3 player and fire extinguisger, Im pretty sure they took somthing else aswell but Im not sure what else I had in there. They didnt take my 2.8 crank which was sitting in the back tho! Silly me had the battery disconnected because Ive been working on it so no alarm! Car was left like this Motherbitch! Now I have to re-tint another window.

Yeah the wheels did look good with the red. Funny how just changing the colour of the car changes how things look.

I know of a ZF auto box out of a 325i e36 that might be going cheap.. Not sure if it would work with the current electrics in your car tho, you would have to check that out.

I heard some E30's come with a factory BBQ in the boot??!?

Yeah, and it just lets everyone know you are raping your car at full boost. Ive seen a libero with a screamer go past me in the opposite direction, making so much noise, yet moving so slow.

Oh is it a B34 or what? And what turbo? Eitherway it should have butt loads of torque all over the place.

How are you fitting the e36 hubs to the e30 struts?

On the right hand side of the glovebox there is a square hole that it sits in. When its in there it recharges. Tho they seem to be hard to find, and if you do find one the batterys are usually f**ked.

You could do it but I think it would look crap, mainly because the material wouldnt sit flush with the vinyl and you would probally get edges that start lifting etc.

Yeah its all fallen out!

There was a similar thing at wintec a few years ago, except it was for a bunch of cash.

Haha that last one hit the water hard.

Probally by the throttle body, they have a second butterfly that is controlled by an actuator. Might want glenn to confirm that tho.

I think you would be waiting along time to get one that cheap again. I think I was just lucky. You should try mosens, they probally have everything you need.

I imagine everything would be the same for an m52 apart from the wiring and alot of the emissions crap they have. You can either wire the EWS up, or get a chip that disables it + hp gains.M52 is a much better engine, but for the extra $$ it might not be affordable to alot of people. M50's are cheap (i got mine for $300 compared to what $1500~? for a m52?

E34 M50 sump + pick up tube and dip stick. E36 alloy mounting arms You have a few options for rubber mounts, mark, kerry and me have used e34 m50 ones with shims on each side (1-3mm) to get the engine sitting right. Apparently you can use e28 ones aswell. Me and mark have used e32 vacuum boosters for the brakes, kerry used a mk1 golf booster, he said it dosent work very well tho. The advantage of the golf booster is that it bolts straight on (actually it might need slight modification to the push rod) and use can use your original master cylinder. With the e32 one, you need to file / grind the fins off the manifold, and slot the holes in the firewall to move it down and across, also swap the adjustable linkage part of the push rod from the E30 booster onto the E32 one, they are different lengths. One advantage of this is you can use a bigger master cylinder, I think my booster came with a 25mm one. The master cylinders from cars with ABS have only 2 outlets (ie, any from a e36 / e32 which bolt up to this booster), so if your car does not have ABS you will need to tee off one of them for your front brakes. You will also need a remote resovoir for this setup. If you go with this booster also make sure to get the little bracket thing that goes with the booster (it extends it out, and converts the bolt pattern of the booster to the same as the e30) I can get some pics of my setup if you want. Brake pedal is nice and stiff, rear bias is a little too much, but nothing you cant live with, tho I have an adjustable proportioning valve to go in. Wiring is easy for ODB1 engines, use an E36 harness as it is longer and the ECU will reach into teh cabin and mount in the normal spot. The E34 one isnt long enough and the ECU will have to sit in the battery tray. Cut the C101 plug off the E30 engine harness and cut the x20 plug off the e36 / e34 harness and wire the E30 one on. There are plenty of diagrams on the net. If your car has ABS, do not connect the ABS wire in the C101 plug, there is instructions somewhere with what you need to do in regards to this. Does your car have an OBC with the code function? Next is the gearbox cross member, that will need modifying too accomodate the new angle that the gearbox will sit on. Its not hard to do, I could post a picture of mine if you want. Or you could make another cross member. I used original mounts. What type of shifter does your gearbox use? The sheet metal type needs to be spaced away from gearbox on the right hand side mount and rotated a bit to even get the shifter to come thru the hole. It is driveable like this, but 1st is where 3rd would usually be. You can cut the linkage and rotate it and then weld it to put it back in the normal place. The other type of shifter with the alloy arm works better and dosent require any modification, it lines up with the hole better and the shifter isnt in as bad as a posistion but would still need cutting and welding of the linkage to get it back to the normal posistion. Tbh, I have no problem with how mine is after getting used to it. For exhaust manifolds get the stainless M52 ones, you will need to cut them up and bend them a bit so they clear the steering column. Then just make an exhaust to fit. For radiator hoses, you can use the an M20 radiator hose for the bottom one. For the top one you can use an e36 one, depending on your radiator, or a combination of e36 / m20 ones cut up and joined. You also need to swap the tempreture sensor out of the m20 into the m50 for the gauge cluster to read correctly. Its not a hard swap if you have all the parts.

Waking up in a hot car at 1pm hung over all sweaty and smelly is sh*t. Or going to sleep in your car, throwing up 3 times, waking up, leave it to clean it up later once you feel a bit better. Only to have the door locks f**k out and you cant get into the car so it sits there for the day in the hot sun until you can be bothered trying to get in.

m50b50's and m50b52's? Long day today?

E30's with ABS have 2 brake lines, non ABS have 3.

Oh my bad!

While she sucks your d*ck right? Is that what you were getting at?
