buzzlightyear 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2006 i got the wheels of trade me work "drift" wheels for $330 then i got them polished and painted. The engine was of a wrecker who im family friends with so he gave me a cheap deal of all the loom and ECU and all the bits i'd need to do the swap. Its a convertible M325i engine, so the battery is in the front. made it a bit easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buzzlightyear 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 whats the forward rake? i got real poo suspension got kings compressed another 15mm in back so its 65mm in back and 75mm in the front. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Forward rake is when it's slightly lower in the front than the back (most e30's are the other way around). I think it looks good. 75mm in the front?! wouldn't that make the control arm bush about about 75-95mm off the ground? Certed? Not a fan of your rear lights. A rear skirt - mtech I ?? would make a huge difference to how your car looks. Edited July 27, 2006 by bravomikewhiskey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
