$20. you said stupid. How much are you looking for?

The problem with chips from america is there tuned for the crap fuel they have over there. The UK forum (e30zone.co.uk) have there own shop, and sell chips for about $150nz. E: Just read the first post. The shop (evolve.co.uk) also does stuff for over model BMW's. Unsure on price tho.

There is a member on here (boydusM325i) with 215hp (roughly 150kw) from his 2.7. It has had quite a bit of work done to it to get there. He's using a 288 degree shrick cam, the 325i 885 head (which requires a skimming of the block, and 325i pistons), and he's removed the air flow meter using a mapecu. Not sure if he's done any head work. And I think he might have a set of extractors to, but not sure.

thanks, but I will have a look in the south island 1st.

Hey. I'm just at the tail of getting all the parts. I've ordered a 273/273 catcam and a 2.7 chip from ant woodjetts (in the UK). I'm picking up an inlet manifold, AFM, throttle body, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, from a 325i at new years. I've sourced a 525e engine and already have the head off it. Am thinking of getting another 731 head, rather than use mine, because I can then sell my engine and gearbox as a whole. It's only got 125k's on it. I've swapped my getrag 240 i had for a 260 (It's getting converted to manual at the same time), and swapped my 4.1 diff for a 3.64. Will be looking to get it built late January. All the parts mentioned above, including the gearbox and diff, have cost $2255 so far. Hopefully wont cost much more to have built, have to save for uni next year to. Have considered doing it myself with the head mechanic from work, but I want it done right. Will have it dyno'd and tuned upon completion, and will hopefully give others an idea of the power to expect. (I seem to hear alot of different stories, probably from different spec 2.7's. Is that 215hp at the flywheel? Your running the 885 head IIRC. What compression ratio have you got? Mine should be the same as the original motor as the heads are the same shape.

Teaser pic - more like "are you on drugs, this might make sense" Although sober, I figure it's your adjustable suspension. How long till where going to see it in the car?

It seems so: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=13534 Are the wheels in those photos the ones he held onto?

Yup, they both working and guess what? they don't like no feed back, what's up?

You guys got somethin' to say to me? Why don't you say it in the microphone. I got a backup mike right here. Check one two, testing, testing.

semi-presentable, I'm just going for the rat racer look (to spend hours polishing, or not to spend hours polishing, hmm), so your car will look like a Greek god, especially with them 16inch schintzers. What brakes have you got to stop that monster?

Welcome. I spotted this on tardme: manual conversion. I'm sure he means 1986, not 1996. Enjoy your stay, and don't feed the natives.

Awesome, not long till the meet either. What were the torque figures?

Why doesn't some one here just start selling them at ~$110, and undercut him .

Auto Passion in chch also sells them. Got to wonder what the germanplates.com guys think of this.

Wouldn't it only change if you got wider inners? E: Stopped eating my trumpet, and thought about it, yea it would change with different outers.

Yea, I was looking at that to, but at 15x6 you'd probably get new outers anyway. Go to 15x8 or something. Would definitely cost a bit to get in mint condition, then there still not really th right offset. But that aside, BBS RS's really are the wheel for e30's.

By the time the battery is gone, you'll want to upgrade anyway. I've had my ipod for 3 years as well. It's massive, black and white, and only plays music. I'm holding out for an iPhone though. E: Still works fine though.

Is anyone else using this? I've been using it since I first read this thread. And it is by far the best way to waste time on computers. Haven't really got into any of the features, just the stumble button keeps me amused. E: feature kickass. Stumble video. Just saw an old lady set off someones air bag, and high speed camera footage of a lighter.

Trying to find genuine BMW wheels for an e30 that aren't weaves or bottlecaps is near impossible. I think everyone would prefer some deep dish BBS 16" 3 piece split rims, but unless you sell your house or first born and import them from overseas, you'll probably never get them. Although I do see theres a e30 on trade me with hartege wheels on it going quite cheap.

Does anyone supply Rota Wheels in New Zealand? I have sent them an email to see if they will ship a set direct from the factory, but am yet to get a reply. Maybe a forum sponsor could look into it

Does any body want this, or any parts off it. I'm probably going to chuck it away. I can post pictures if you want.

Some average photoshopping by me. The first ones were on the wrong angle, so I put them on my car .

I really like the second ones, and once i get my engine sorted are probably going to be my next mod.

I'll take an e30 strut brace. would prefer a 'fixed' one, apposed to the ones with a 'hinge' thing in them.
