This is what I use. It'll fit on a normal tow ball or one of those removable types. You can get these in 1, 2, 3 or even 4 bike racks and they'll carry any type of bike. I got this one off ebay a couple of years ago and've been really pleased with it, its easy to fit and remove from the car and the ...

OK, I was just going on what he was saying, he made it sound like there was a problem regulation wise . . . mebee its just that he wasn't too comfortable with the idea of driving RHD himself ? ? ? He was also telling me about prices over there, if you can find one that is as there aren't many about....

Thanks for the reply, yes it was the 25 years thing that put him off. Also, they don't like RHD cars over there either but its easier to get away with if its more than 25 yrs old . . . Sounds like you had it fairly easy time with the military connection :-) @Magpie . . . Love the pic, that som bitch...

Is it difficult to export a car over the water, what sort of costs are involved and what are the legal issues you face ?

I'd be interested to find out as while selling my car I had a guy get in touch from the States. He was put off due to it being an 1989 car, but otherwise he was keen to buy . . .

This is great, I've just checked out my new E39 http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/fastdiablo/Untitled-1.jpg Type code DP52 Type 528I (EUR) E series E39 (2) Series 5 Type TOUR Steering RL Doors 5 Engine M52/TU Displacement 2.80 Power 142 Drive HECK Transmission MECH Colour OXFORDGRUEN METALLIC (...

Lowering the car looks great, and it'll handle a bit better too but when you lower the car it pushes out the camber for the rear wheels. There's no camber correction facility on the standard setup so if left as it is it can wear the inside edges of the rear tyres prematurely, the harder you drive it...

It rotted out unfortunately and was beyond repair, I considered putting the kit on the new one but decided to keep the standard look so sold it on about 2 years ago . . .

If your putting lowered springs on have you considered the camber correction kit for the rear beam ? . . . .

Nice ! . . . I like a Tech 2 touring

. . .

I had the same issue with the tow bar, having to cut the rear bumper is a hard thing to have to do,but like you I need to be able to pull a trailer . . .

This is my old one . . .

mapped by Dave Walker this was, i was taken out in it years ago. Really was fast. I had it remapped locally by Northampton motorsport . . . It may've lost 15bhp but its still faaaaaaaaaast :cool: TBH it makes it a bit more drivable, before it'd want to kick its arse out all the time, I don't mind a...

Hi mate, no I didn't. Here's a link to the chat bit in the forum about it . . .

i'd be proud of that punt,great timing

Can you even imagine where they would be now if Group B hadn't been banned, with the ECV the next stage of evolution from the S4 and that was what, 25 years ago ! ! !

Thanks for pointing me in that direction, the video was amazing ! . . . I keep trying to get to somewhere like Chatsworth house or similar to see the Historic Rally, Group B was definitely rally's glory days, I remember watching it as a kid. I still remember the Stratos the first time I saw it on TV...

WOW, that gave me cold chills watching that ! . . . .

Its a rare thing to get an in car video of these legends using modern technology so you can hear what they really sound like from inside !!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever driven it or was it bought as a project? I still sorely miss mine and if I had the chance would have another in an instant. Yes, I'd been driving the car for a couple of years before taking it off the road with a problem I couldn't get sorted. Now that I've had the cash to get it sort...

Nice. That's definately worth the effort! :D Thanks, I'm hoping to get it back on the road very soon. It's had loads of work done over a period of time and its been in the garage all the while so I've not been able to drive in between jobs. I'm aching to get it back out after all the work and the w...

I wondered if this would find its way on here. To answer some of your questions. Firstly yes it was Andy335's touring. The exhaust is not hanging off . . . Andy had trouble fixing it on straight, and its still as he left it. Its an E30 M3 scorpian box mated to the standard M30 manifold, this is how ...

I use Adrian Flux, an agreed value policy with all mods declared.

I think they're reasonably priced and good to deal with. Give them a try, its worth a call . . .

A bit more info here ...

do you have a few porkas then? i just remember seeing it forsale on a driveway next to a 911 of some sort Ah, no, that was the div I bought it off, LOL, He had little network going that was buying 911's from the States then selling them into Europe, seemed like a family business that was doing quit...

good it did end up forsale with some div at one point. I take it you rescued it?! I've had the car now for near on 3 years, I was that div that had it up for sale about a year ago. Finances weren't so good and it was having running problems. I got some silly offers and ridiculous questions through ...

I've been in an M30 3.5 touring that Andy on here used to own. That was doing 260bhp with the torque to go. An M30 engined e30 is a serious weapon, even one with a good stock engine shifts. They'll give a proper 2.7 a match on the road. - That hurts to say that for me! That car's alive and well sti...

Can an e46 rack be used on an M30 conversion ? If not are there any other possibilities ? The biggest problem people seem to have with any engine, standard or not, is manifold clearance, but I think if the E30 rack will fit under an M30 then the E46 rack should? -- Thats the big issue here, manifol...

Can an e46 rack be used on an M30 conversion ?

If not are there any other possibilities ?

you can have a hartge brace for under £160. Not sure that billet ie. virtually no lateral damping is right for the chassis, but saying that I've never used one. Sparco is well worth it at £60 and £5 for a can of halfords black 8) they eiminate tower shake on the limit of turn in and do make a diffe...

Looks nice mate, look forward to seeing it in the flesh ! . . .

I'll get that mirror off and drop it in to you at work Friday if your about then . . .

Biggest problem is ICE/alarm installers weaving wires through dash wiring loom, so that when you go to actually remove the dash, you have to balance it on one hand while dealing with aftermarket wires with the other. see what you mean both had extra wireing. not bad going tho 4 hrs 2 dashes out one...

E30's have a character about them, the way they can keep you guessing, underestimate the car you driving and it will bite you, the lack of electronic babysitting makes you a better driver. That is what I feel keeps them exciting, and not boring. Yes they are now old, slow and well old, at the end o...

Years ago I was minding my own business driving steadily when an MR2 came steaming up behind. The traffic ahead cleared and I booted it. I drove like I had something to prove. I drove like an arse, so did the MR2 driver. I was taking blind bends at 90 in a 4 wheel drift - utterly stupid. Anyway, th...

Thanks for getting back, I've never heard of this type of head unit before with i pod like ability . . .

Good to hear its a go'er . . . bit strapped till pay day, so will wait till then and see if I can still find a good deal on one . . .

Ooooo, thats far more hassle than I was expecting ! ! ! . . .

Its for a Boxxer mount Hope caliper to fit on I.S. mount forks. Hope do all sorts of adapters but nothing for the Boxxer type caliper . . . May just be easier to ebay it and get an I.S. one . . .

Thanks anyway

Hi, not sure if this should be in Chat or Help ? ? ? I'm looking for someone who can do a small ally machining job for me . . . Its for a bracket to mount a Brake caliper on a mountain bike . . . I can send the wooden blank and cash to the value of a case of beer to anyone who can do the job for me ...
