Thanks for that!

Does any one Pics/diagrams of the strut top mounts and there associated rubbers/washers/nuts and what order etc they go in?

Looks like a shitbox - what idiot did you take with you to look at that??

Tread carefully! Unless the law has changed, which as far as I'm aware it hasn't, doing what the original poster was asking about is illegal. Yes, altering it without informing them, thats illegal, but there are legal ways to reshell a car. oh and buy the points system my ka project is verynearly n...

Alternatively there is this way that means it gets reissued a 'Q' plate Vehicles that have been rebuilt using a mix of new or used parts In order to retain the original registration mark: cars and car-derived vans must use: The original unmodified chassis or unaltered bodyshell (i.e. body and chassi...

There are 2 options, the 1st iffy, but do-able, the 2nd perfectly legal. option1 here is the current legistlation on 'Radically Altered vehicles' -although a reshell wouldnt class as a redcial alteration, the 'points system' would still apply in most case. Radically Altered Vehicles 40. Radically al...

Thanks.

Any1 got any other info?

If its not an 'I' then is it more complicated?

I think/assume it handles the idle/mixture/autochoke as the peirburg carbs have loads of conectors on them, that werent used when i converted mine over to a weber manual choke carb.

No matter how hard i tug or wiggle my knob it wont come... out of 1st 8O anyway, is it worth looking at repairing the box (diy) or would it be easier fitting another one? What gearboxes will suit and from what other e30s? doesnt have to be spot on ratios, just make it run. What sort of effort is req...

I tried to get some front pads for my 316 but the factors place saif there are 3 types, but we did managae to narrow it down to 2 as mine has sensors. They mentioned something about rounded or flat? has any1 got any pics as even looking at mine from behind the calipers i cant quite tell. ive looked ...

yeah i realise it wasnt ebay. Eitherway make sure he has written the address right! its just sumthing to pass on to him and to recheck at his end. It only takes one number (one of mine i was talking about it had been addressed to 23 not 3 (no 23 doesnt exist on my road) so curriers couldnt find it a...

Recived a carb for my 316 very quickly. Hope to fit it soon and should see it up a running again - thanks fella!

Not meaning to state the obvious but have you checked adress details, ive had problems on ebay b4 where the address was incorrectly written which cause no end of embarrament at either end.

This pretty much hits the nail on the head IMO:

No idea as for plans for it. I am distinctly enjoying my 1st RWD expericene, ive been round several roundabouts once more than i intended! even with so little power and no slipper im still learning the art as best i can. My bro had a 325i dealer converted alpina a few yrs back that i always envied, ...

**EDIT - no its an error on their website by the looks of it

Bored now

High offsets are harder to cater for, it requires a special design that means the spokes need to 'stick out' more. just check the design of the MOs, speedline allesios (one of the only rims available in 16"x6 with 49mm offset) and the wheels u posted, they all have spokes that stick out. You cant do...

But your showing 2 extremes there - Those wheels would be available in a lot more offsets than those 2, would they have 2 different moulds for a 30mm offset and a 40mm? of course not, they would machine them to suit. Yes they may have 2 moulds to give as much variatey as possible, as I already state...

with sqaures they look a little like the alfa SZ, which despite looking odd, is rather mean too..

some one post a pic of these abominations

Hi there, Im new to this site, ive been using planete30 for a few weeks since I bought the 316 you see below. Also been nosing round here for parts etc, so just thought id post an intro here too.. It didnt cost much, but is rust free (apart from 1 or 2 surface scars, its all genuine milage as far as...

well yes, for odd manufactuers such as vauxhall with 49mm offset, sum companies like compmotive for example, they produce a special design of the MO that allows for the high ET. HOWEVER that design is now the standard for all MOs produced. You will note on compomotives the ET is stamped on the wheel...

No, no, no, no. Never take material from the mounting face of a wheel to change the offset. Dicing with death. Not strictly true, how do you think wheel manufacturers acheive different offsets? certainly not a different mould for each one! However there are points where you can go to far, so its 'b...

Yes bore size needs to be accounted for or they may not fit over your hub centres.
unfortunately im new to BMs so cant give any sizes for that.

Of course the other main consideration is tyre size, no point in going for rims that need tiny (or unpopular) profile tyres that will cost a fortune.

And to make my life difficult my 325iX needs a 41mm offset for a 15" rim. Rim diameter bares little consequence to offset, its the width that is the key factor. (allthough of course dia and overal rolling diameter inc tyre still needs to be accounted for) You have the advantage of having vauxhalls ...
