E30 Zone

looking into getting a set of 14'' steelies banded, need to work out the widths i wanna go for etc so does anyone know the specs of an e30 14'' steel wheel ?

width ?
offset ?

thanks

im having trouble fitting mine, i've got one in (i pushed it up with a jack) but the second one is about a 3rd-1/2 way in and its just bending rather than being pushed up grrrrrrr, are you sposed to push them both in at the same time or something ???

got mine today too

is there only 2 size diff casings then ??? i thought there was small, med and large ???

i could've sworn i saw a thread will all the diff codes etc but for the life of me i cant find it.

i know all the diff's have a tag with some numbers so you can identify what they are but how do i tell a small case from a medium case diff ?

basically im after a med case 4.10 diff so how do i know thats exactly what im getting if/when im offered one ???

cheers

payment sent

ok cool i'll crack on with these and see how they are then change to poly bushes later if i feel the need.

why not ? i want to stiffen the rear end right up and eliminate axel tramp completely if i can.

if i also get some decent poly subframe bushes will these still fit ?????

anyone got any ideas on these then ??

found these seat frame things for e30's and e36's but for the life of me i cant figure out how they work :confused:, are they suited for side mount or base mount seats ? do they fit side to side in the car or front to back ? im thinking maybe these fit do the floor (well i know the fit to the floor)...

good idea, will do

well whatever that relay was for was the problem cos its now fine i've cleaned it

haha just cleaned up all the conections on the relay plugged it back in and now it runs fine lol, and theres me been stamping my feet getting all depressed ready to pack it all in and all it was was a knackered relay lol

the relay thats knackerd is this one (the closest one in pic) but its 5 pin but i do have m52 so maybe different for my engine etc, is this the fuel pump relay ???

my car died yesterday and im sure its fuel related, but someone else said it could be a wiring issue, anyway i just went to see if the car would start, switched it on and a relay started clicking away like mental so obviously broken so what i want to know is, is the fuel pump relay here behind this ...

need to do an oil change in the week, dont have a manual or nuffin or nuffan, how much oil do I need for an 2.8 M52 ??? it has an e34 sump if that makes any difference (i presume 525i), after a quick read it also looks like i might need a special socket to undo the oil filter, is this the case or ca...

i've bought a fan very similar to that one 16'' and front mounted it and just got it wired to a switch, about 5 blades have snapped off on the viscous fan so i've removed it and im gonna replace it so then i got the viscous for normal driving and i can use the electric one when im drifting. im a lit...

well i could always do the same on the other side then, that would solve that problem.

16x10 = 15kg

, but they look badass dont they lol, if i get em they'll only be my road wheels, when i go drifting i'll use the oem bbs etc.

Or do you mean to fit a combined high/low beam light unit to replace the original?

yes that is what i mean, so that the main and high beam are both in the one unit.

Thanks Robbs for the link, Basicly it looks like i just have to split the inner and outer arch, fold out, weld, seal and skim with filler ... :? yep, futting add on arches would also require pretty much as much work as you'd need to cut and weld the arches for clearance before you put on the arches...

the cars half way through being built so i dont think he cared to much about the tyres being on the correct rotation, wheels were fitted so it could roll about.

a few more pics and a bit of info on pages 6/7 of this thread (link will take you straight to page 6)

http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-c ... ing-6.html

i want to remove one of the high beam lights to make an air intake and was wondering if it was possible to rewire the highbeam into the main beam light (and obviously still have both functioning), if it is possible i also have halo's so does this make it anymore difficult ???

cheers

hmmmm i've just ordered some spax shocks hope they hold up to the abuse im gonna give em, didn't order from demon tweeks though, bought from venom motorsport as they're about £100 cheaper.

thanks for the info, i've ordered some spax psx dampers and im gonna trim down my existing spax springs

add on arches are fully gay on e30's !!!!

if anything you just want to fuly flare and smooth the standard arches

you'll still fit some monsterously wide wheels under them

they cost my mate around £600 all in including taxes, the wheels and delivery are £547 then was about £60 customs fee's.

my front struts are 45mm i've not measured the rear ones yet

ok cool thanks

before i order i just want to know cos they list different kits for 320i and 325i, as my car has had a rear disc brake conversion using 325i trailing arms, will i now have 325i suspension ??? sorry maybe obvious but cos i didn't fit it i dont know.

are they very stiff ? or soft soft sloppy like alot of other cheap shocks ???

its all internet hype, stretched tyres are fine, i've driven on them and abused them and never had a single problem my mates running 205/45/16 on a 10j its a big stretch and again no problems http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b85/Rich1275/IMG_0593.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b85/Rich1275/I...
