  1. Pulled from a deceased E32 750il. Add more oumph to your E30 pedal. $220. Located Orewa-Auckland.
  2. I had hawk HP+ pads in my old type r and loved them. Just make sure you bmw oem or decent branded rotors. I made the mistake of using cheap bnt rotors (can't remember who manufacturered them) and got major brake shudder after 3-4 laps round Pukekohe. Likely a defect in the steel.
  3. After either a full set of either H&R sport (may consider race) or Eibach pro rear springs for a 6 cylinder E36. Thanks.
  4. Who did the tumbling of the bolts I've just put mine back together with the black bolts and standard colour faces after I cleaned the up. Jas restored the barrels.
  5. Going back to cam grinding. I haven't contacted anyone for a quote but is there any reason why a ground cam would be inferior to a purpose made cam with the same duration and lift specs? I would imaging the rest of the valvetrain would work with an aftermarket cam without making adjustments.
  6. Don't forget that this is for both sides. This includes running a m50b25(non vanos) intake cam on the exhaust side of the m52. This means that both cams will be 240° with 9.7mm lift. I also have a local engineer who's been machining up things for me for a long time and does work very cheap so there won't be much cost with modifying the m54 cam. On a side note, has anyone had experience with having cams ground?
  7. I'm seeing a lot of contradicting information regarding this "upgrade" for an M52. What is everyone's experience with camshafts in their m52's? This swap involves using the intake cam from a m54b30 on the intake side and a non vanos m50b25 cam on the exhaust side of the single vanos M52. While there are some fantastic aftermarket options, they all seem very expensive (including used M3 cams). Any input or personal appreciated would be appreciated. I also see that this has been touched on before but don't believe there has been any feedback from someone who has done the swap. Thanks.
  8. These are clean! Wobt last long with this price.
  9. i have a fuel pump that may need soldering or a new sender as it doesn't read fuel level. Operates fine.
  10. Hi all, Sorry for the late reply. I manage to source some low mileage B8 front shocks from the state that came with some Eibach springs cheap. I also bought rear shocks new from speedfactor. Shocks are great and really happy with them although i would be looking a decent set of springs next. I currently have a set of msport springs, a set of jamex springs and Eibach front springs that are currently on the front with the shocks. Ideally i would be after H&R sports so i would be interested in Thorburns' springs. Cheers guys
  11. Is there curbing on all wheels?
  12. Yup I was going to buy the rears new. It's the fronts that are very expensive which I already have. For the price if rebuilding an older HD shock it is worth buying a brand new pair if b8s that are already shortened.
  13. I believe race shocks rebuild en about $40-50 cheaper than autolign.
  14. Wanting to buy coupe door cars. Fronts only or fronts and rears if leather then I would want a full set. If cloth then come edition of the fabric is not important but vynil must not be peeling away. Wanting twin speaker door cards only. Thanks.
  15. Okay guys so I gave the opportunity to jump on a set of BBS RC 300s. Although there suited to an e34 or e39 as they are 18x8 et13. The currently have 225/40/18. But I will have to run a smaller tyre to make sure I would t be rubbing anywhere. Has anyone had experience rub I g a similar set of wheels in an e36? Also I will be buying a separate set of wheels to rub 245/40/17 for track days etc. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  16. Still after some or a similar shocks/spring or coilover setup. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  17. Subframe mounting point looked in reasonable condition. I may be buying a eibach pro kit as well so I presume they will be suited to the bilsteins. I have the option of buying an old set of front struts. Race shocks will rebuilt them for 195+gst each. (Autolign where $250+gst). Rebuilding costs seem to be the same for front and rear. So I may just buy new rears and have the front rebuilt if they and bad condition. I'm not sure if the B8s would have different valving though. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  18. Sold Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  19. I take it you have done the tried and tested bilstein with h$r/eibach too?I have liked driving other cars on BC gold coilovers (they can also be reasonably soft too). At the end of the day I really don't think these is much between the Taiwanese coilovers. With ugly purple d2s being the cheapest at $1000 brand spanking. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  20. Wow that is scary! Checked it as soon as I got home. I think I'm safe! Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  21. Yep I just picked up leather front and year sport seats for my coupe. Will be restoring them myself shortly. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  22. A few photos. Drivers side lean Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
  23. Wouldn't using m3 shocks require gutting my stock shocks? And then having buy different top hats as well? Koni sports were very expensive from George stocks. A lot more expensive compared to the bilsteins. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
