So whats a realistic power / torque for the factory clutch on a manual 135i ?

MHD stage 1 and 2 have 2 options 

1 360/520

1+ 390/600

2 380/560

2+ 420/650

So , the way i read it stage 2 makes less torque , so theroretically less hard on the clutch ...

Anyone with real world experience got any thoughts ?

I have a set of Ruff adjustable top plates to suit e36

Part # BW-FSM-02

E36 / M3 L / MZ3

Brand new

Hi Thanks, I think you have misunderstood the question

The car doesnt run a bmw diff.

Is there a difference in rear axle length between 4 and 6 cylinder E30's

Thanks '

Apologies if the answer is already here somewhere obvious and I have missed it.

Are E30 / 36 ti axles different lengths between the 4 and six cylinder engines ?

As in I think 316 318 have a small case diff and the 320 323 325 has a medium case, therefore the axles should be slightly shorter ???

Is there a shorter axle again ? like from a large case diff , that will fit the e30 e36 ti hub

Hopefully that makes sence

Thanks

I have a 318tiCompact pretty much completely stripped

It has new trailing arm bushes, new rear wheel bearing, ally subframe bushes,

The car is at the point where its about to have the cage done and all the welding finished.

At this stage it has been turreted in the rear and has a cromoly frame for holding a ma 70 supra diff centre, on spuds tacked into position.

You could just weld it all in and make some flange adaptors and job done.

Rego on hold, it was an auto.

It would be real seay to convert it back to a factory diff centre just by putting another rear subframe beam into it.

Its rolling / I have all the glass and doors etc: to put it back together, I did cut some of the wiring loom to get it out but its pretty much intact (i wasnt going to use it as its overkill)

It was a complete driveable car, I still have all the bits needed to make it a road legal race car etc:

Im wanting $800 for thje rolling shell, without the diff centre.

All part to go with it I have collected are negotiable to the person who buys it

Open ma70 diff centre 4.55 or 5.3 ratio

Including screw in studs 50mm L to convert the hubs to stud

Adjustable front strut tops

Aftermarket wiring loom

Springs to suit the shocks (shocks are not for sale)

Adjustable Pedal box

Some other bits ive probably forgotten about

PM Me a contact number

Dont ask for any individual parts as the person who buys the shell has first option so that needs to go first.

Hi, I actually need the dimension, as in "the distance across the hubs = xx mm"

Which is why I titled the thread as such.

I have a tidy E36ti I bought as a donor for a race car, but then thought it was too tidy to put on gravel so found a less tidy auto that im using, so this one is for sale.

Anyone happen to know hub face to hub face across the rear of a e30 / e36 ti ?

Im looking at rear end swaps

E30 Coupe Passengers Door

Doesnt need to be tidy or perfect

Ok Cheers for that

I should have had a good look at the m3 on its roof half way up bright road the other day .

Ah, So compacts have E30 rear ends.

And the e36 car / coupe rear end will bolt into both the e30 coupe and the e36 compact ?

Ive been researching a few options for a rally car, and was thinking maybe e 30 coupe or e36 compact.

I was under the impression e36's had a different rear end setup than e30's, but I found a build thread on the pommy rally forums where a guy is building a e36 compact, but it has a trailing arm setup like the e30.

Was there a transition date or cross over period from 1 type to the other or is this just a northern hemispherre thing ?

Are ALL NZ e36 compacts wishbone rears ?

Im after a E30 2 door as a donor for my next buld

Literally a rolling shell that can still be rego'd would be ideal

Needs windscreen but no interior no motor no gearbox

Just on the offchance someone has or knows of somethig

Hey buddy I wasnt bashing it , I said IMO the design was wrong and I doubt it would do anything.

I also explained why.

Say whatever you like , I have explained why it is wrong , and it is , so get over it.

These Strut braces have been designed and engineered in NewZealand by an experienced expert alloy welder in conjunction with several racecar engineers and myself specifically for use on e30 road, track, race and show cars.

So now

Its a duplicate of the very well thought of ACS strut bar

>??

Show me a picture of the ACS one ...

Hey like I said Im not trying to undermine what you have made , Im saying in my opinion it wouldnt do anything ..

Ok

The design is wrong , the hinge point is too far from the strut top . The mounting plates look to be too thin and are not gussetted to put the load into the beam.

Any inwards load on the strut towers should act against the other side in conpression .

The way that one is set up the plate would just bend under load or the hinge point you have created would move under a compression load.

Usually the type you are showing have a rigid beam from as close to the strut tower tops as possible.

The price seems fair as does the biuld quality , but the design is wrong regardless of who designed it.

No offense but thats a bling strut brace not really a functional one.

I doubt it would do anything.

Whats a genuine e34 motorsport 5 speed manual & 535 engine worth

As in Im selling a motor and box , whats it worth ...

Thanks

Whats a genuine e34 motorsport 5 speed manual & 535 engine worth ?

Its done around 200k.

Just considering options right now , might buy an auto 5 series and repower it with different engine + manual trans,

Sounds like its as I suspected anyway , thanks

Ok Cheers, Im just thinking about options on a 520 or 525 , there seem to be heaps of autos around.

Im thinking about an engine conversion into a 5 series.

Forget about the trans for a seck , do say 1990 ish 520's and 525's autos have the mounts for a clutch peddle ?

Thanks
