Re: S50b30 Intake boot alternatives

Does it fit the trapezium looking shape effort on the plenum?

Is this an actual correct aftermarket bit that I have missed due to being useless??

S50b30 Intake boot alternatives

Is there any silicone or something of similar value alternatives to these boots (the bit between the meter and the plenum)? Sick of mine cracking and splitting now, even a new one! I've had a glance around the web but struggling to find anything for euro spec s50's so just wondering if anybody has a...

Re: anyone got these wheels ?

Revolution in Dunston sell Dare RS off the shelf for a similar price Mick. You can have a good look at them aswell to see if you're ok with the quality. They only wanted £389 from me for 17s staggered. Didn't go for them in the end though.

Who is sorting the manifolds for you? Or are you a very capable chap?

A **** mode switch has to be the way forward. I'll be able to hear you along the a19 then. A beautiful graph by the way :D

Re: pod rolling rd/dyno

I got my 540 done at Evotune, think it was £35 on a dyno day, I had at least 4-5 runs. Once the e30 v8 is done, I'll be going back to see if power has changed any. What power are you expecting? I managed 284bhp but was over fuelling. I was fairly chuffed with that to be honest, in an s50 mind-not a...

Re: pod rolling rd/dyno

keep an eye out for various rolling road days there usually on a Saturday. prices are around £25-30 for 3 or 4 runs (usually a couple more) and about £45 normally iirc.

They are 17s that would be going on and the arches are rolled. I take it you are running the same setup?

A slightly different 5 stud set up question (hopefully)

Many many moons ago I converted to 5 stud without realising the e36 318ti rear setup actually tracked around 20mm wider each side. Now im wanting to fit a dished wheel et19 and obviously sticks out too far and without doubt will foul the arch. E36/46 offset et41/47 are what do fit. My question is, i...

Re: how do i convert my 325i sport to 5 stud hus?

Try m3 parts mate.could be expensive though.

iv got e36 m3 front hubs and brakes on my e30 but you will need m3 evo control arms and offset bushes.also you can use the rear setup off a e36 318ti compact.they are nigh on identical and bolt staight up.
