Re: Track car foot well’s

I just bought a S50 B30 for the E30 so i'd like a set of hoses!


also didn't samco make a intake elbow hose for the S50 with the wide mouth opening? the motor i'm inheriting is cracked, so i figure it's time to upgrade!

I'm talking about this piece pictured above, but for the S50.

isn't the rubber part a break away point for the steering column during a frontal impact? I'm a bit afraid of that thing becoming a painful spear aimed right at my sternum!

also what are your thoughts on this in combination with manual steering?

is your ABS on/off just kill power to the computer? fluid will just flow through the box as if nothing is there when the computer is turned off?

lots of american guys use the ebay headers and say they fit much better than OE manifolds.

also instead of E30 M3 MC, try the 25mm from a 750, it's what the E30 M3 guys use. $140USD new

Re: did bmw make a genuine 4 door sport

my 94 318 touring has black headliner

and I love my 325 4 door, it makes fitting a roll cage and shoving spare parts in the back so much easier! trying to fit 17 inch race tires, jack, tools etc in the back of a caged M3 is a real PITA! 4 door is cake

I will be using whatever radiator you can get hoses for. the engine is getting punched to 2.9L right now and will go in next winter, or earlier if the M20 poops out from to much ring duty 8O


from what i've read the 325 radiator is enough for the swap
