Sammy J 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Well as you all now know my first e30 v8 which was quite unexpected when Atta rocked up and said he wanted it anyway i had every intention for just buying a late model car and using it and not modifying it. Hmm well i couldnt bear the thought of not modifying my car soooooo i went and bought Apex's touring. Im sure you all know the car and how its a very very tidy car. So i flew up on the weekend and drove that and my new patrol truck down with henry (incary), had a blast. I have very, very big plans for this new car and all i can say at this stage is its going to blow my last one out of the water (all going to plan of course). Very secret squirrel at this stage, however i actually bought some very nice BBS wheels for it and am going to convert it to 5 stud. Now obviuosly im looking for some knowledge on whats the best way to do this. Id love to put the e36 m3 front hubs, discs and calipers on if anyone knows where i can get a set of these? If not, i hear e46 330i stuff fits on e36 hubs? I have a 318ti rear end already and would like to put bigger brakes to match the e36 m3 stuff (if thats the way i go) on the front.. anyone have any ideas?? Id also like to go to adjustable height and damper suspension for it, so im assuming i need e36 front with e30 tops?? Also looking for a z3 steering rack.. Havnt had a chance to take any pics yet but heres some for those that may not know it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 however i actually bought some very nice BBS wheels for it and am going to convert it to 5 stud. While I think of it, make sure whatever hubs/brake setup you get is compatible with your choice of BBSs (eg RS aren't especially brake friendly).

Apex 693 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Touring’s are so common around here these days Good luck Sam, have fun with it. Happy it has gone to a good (read: better) home and will be turned into the beast I always wanted it to be but couldn’t afford to create. Cant wait to see the Rotor conversion and bosso body kit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
