Remove the headlight unit from the other side - under build and use regs, if they are fitted, then they must work - and since they won't be fitted, they won't be needing to test them ;) - this applies to anycar winkeye same story for hazard warning lights on all cars registered before 1974 - if they...

conveyence of passengers in a trailer is illegal, wether it be carravan or car-type trailer alike

Standard reflectors are built into rear lights yep

BUT

trailers MUST have triangular reflectors by law - have a look at ANY trailer you see, wether it be hauled by a car, or it is an articulated truck - all have triangles

Only thing that is missing is the reflective triangles that are legally required on a trailer ;) however, THIS is a propper car trailer 8) http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y241/Graceland1/passat-trailer.jpg and this one is for the women too: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/Graceland/shoppingt...

Lets just take into account of something here. Your average normally aspirated engine, when running at say, 6000 rpm at WOT (wide open throttle) will consume enough air in 1 second to fill the average sized living room in an average semi detatched house. A turbocharged vehicle running 20psi of boost...

Paulsimon8 - if you have a problem with the H&R and if you got them from us just contact me. Sal I wouldn't say its a problem with the product, its a problem with the muppet who specced them, IE - me :cry: I ordered the wrong ones and the rear springs sit the car far too low to be of any use :(

Ian - when you upgrade, send me your standard m-tech rear springs please

I'm having issues with my supposed -40 springs from H&R

A mates got a R33 that pulled a flat 14sec quarter to go up against first!

Mark.

not bad

I rekkon I can get into the 12's

- I'll find out one quatermile day

what M20? I don't see one here

I do see a nice YBT tho

I stick my .3gp files on my webspace and let people view them with whatever software - quicktime and realplayer are good for this

Not done a timed run to 60 yet, might goto a quater mile day and see what she does, altho the 1/4 mile run bores me somewhat

I aggree about same top speeds in whatever gear nomatter how much power you have. The more power, the less time to reach the speeds 8) The final drive is from an E30 M3, not 100% sure what ratio it is tho :? Would be nice to know tho for sure :) and the top gear in my box is rather long aswell :mad:...

Geoff - gps verified speed was 148mph using tomtom on my XDA IIs

4th gear speed is 139mph at 6900rpm gps verified

Make of it what you will :007:

Had a little tussle last night with a rather tasty Skyline R33 GTS (with a gtr bodykit, or thats what the owner said) After 5 mins of following him, getting a bit bored at him hooning about after he overtook me like I was stood still, I decided to show him who is boss ;) :cry: :cry: :cry: http://www...

I've just binned a mint set of BMW original E30 floormats too

Unsure wether to sell as a whole, or break the car now i've done it

- bloody cars, they hurt sometimes

Yo Ian

Rip the engine out and thro a cossie lump in - you know you want to

Thats the sort of money I was expecting - I gave Ã‚£1k for mine including the BBS wheels, so i'll just shift it for what I payed IF I break the car

Would rather sell it complete tho

Might break the E30Cosworth if I cannot find a buyer for her as a complete car :eek: 8O :eek: 8O What is full E30 M3 running gear worth - the following is what I have Front hubs, rear wishbones rear beam diff + driveshafts front and rear brakes + Earls braided hoses front and rear antrollbars polybu...

love that

altho, the rear wheels don't sit wide enough to fill the arches - all IMHO of course

- this could easily be rectified by using E36 compact rear arms to give the wheels a further 44mm wider track overall (22mm a side)

M3 spoiler modified by myself (the studs ground off and then secured to the boot lid via long studs, 3 per side, and sikaflex to seal it)

the boost will be raised to 24psi, and then If I go a new engine, a posibility of 28psi and low comp, about 400bhp - more than enough

the spoiler is a genuine E30 M3 item

the bbs wheels are not genuine bmw ones, but are bbs RK 03

17x8.5

running about 300-320bhp at the moment, Never had any problems with the engine apart from this oil leak from the front crank seal. And the engine, when it was in my sapph, has done over 10 hours of hard track action, and well over 40 laps of the Nurburgring 8O 8) 8) 8) 8) That in itself, is fantatsi...

Today, the love returned for the car. Since I finished building it, I've hated it, hated the way it drove, the car and everything about it :( But after a hard and fast drive over the moors, and a couple of pictures, with lots of tyre lines everywhere on the roads I took, the love has come home for t...

I've tried that Jos, it seems that it only happens when the car is on the road, which points to a wheel bearing issue.

But both bearings were brand new before I refitted the rear beam

Got a bit of a problem with the E30 cossie, its been like this since I built it too. When driving along, under load (IE, accelerating, or cruising at a constant speed with the power on, ie - not coasting) there is no noise from the back of the car - just how it should be :) BUT As soon as I let off ...

fuzzy wrote:mine wheelspins no problem in first and is still wheelspinning when you change to second and is only a 2 litre

Is that before or after you realise you've eaten another propshaft bearing?

Sorry - couldn't resist that one James

Not got a better vid, I was sent that video of me

by a friend who quickly filmed it on a mobile phone

I'm sure theres more video's out there somewhere

Hispec motorsport do various big brake conversions for all E30's

Altho, some of the ford boys have had major issues with hispec, especially cooking discs at the first sign of abuse

hmmm, 230 on a pair of smoked rear lights, or 235 on a remote brake servo.

I know my decision, and it will stop me ploughing into a wall

CHeers tho Maxfield

Excellent motor

Incidentally, where did you get the back lights from?

Wouldn't know anything about decent wheelspinning from the above engines, but here is a clip of me spinning in a clircle at silverstone on sunday, then leaving a HUUUUUUUUUGE pair of black lines as I set off from a standstill giving it large a fishtail slide, then missing 2nd gear like a chump :oops...

harsh is good Rich

James - theres a difference between breaking things by overtrying and breaking things by not having them made properly

Today was a great day for the E30 cosworth. Took it to Ford Fair, had it on the Fast Ford mag stand, and then had a 20 min session round silverstone winkeye winkeye winkeye had a propper scream and she ran almost faultlessly - a small oil leak from somewhere at the front :x altho I did have a nice s...
