the springs i got with mine arent like that, they are more cone shape for the front

im selling all the bits i bought to do a turbo conversion to my e30 325 m20. started off with an ebay turbo kit, plug and play megasquirt, then a hx35 turbo as i thought the one with the kit wouldnt be enough, samco coolant hoses, stainless exhaust of a escort rs turbo( to be cut up and re welded) a...

im selling my e30, use it every day but have been to the ring in it twice and a track day, needs abit of tlc but as a cheap trackday car you cant go wrong! m30 3.5, willwood 4 pots and bigger discs on front, 325 set up on rear with rebuilt lsd fitted, has h&r suspension but with cheap coilover sprin...

Anyone know where they will be at 2?

It's was 8% should of been 4%

Just put my m30 powered e30 in for it's mot, it's failed on co level, hydrocarbons are ok, it's idling at 1000rpm, tps is set up ok. Any ideas?

Currently being used as my everyday tyres and they are fine, no extra road noise, plenty of grip in the wet. But with the colder weather coming, they would be no good!

Or just buy my m30 powered e30, comes with recent rebuilt LSD, rear disc conversion,'willwood 4 pots up front, uprated arbs front and back, braided lines. Shell abit tatty
But be perfect to rob all the bits from.

I'll get some, weird set up on the front, cone springs.

Me too, still need to find some UJ's

My local tyre place got them in. Couldn't get r888, none in stock and there wasn't a forecast date of delivery either. Not used r888, I had Toyo t1r's before on the car, the yoko's are my first set of track tyres and I wish I had bought some years ago. They are 195/50/15 and were 360 pound fitted. O...

The steering went really light mid lap,'strangest thing, only thing i could put it down too was the tyres going off as so hot and high pressures

Well the Yokohama tyres have transformed the car, only did 4 laps in the dry but lapping much more smoothly, so much more confidence in the car and can pile in the power so much sooner than s drives or toyo t1r's. Had a drama with tyre pressures tho, pushing on of the corners front steering went lig...

Ive got a set of hottuning coilovers the cone on the front will be small at the bottom and big at the top, the adjuster screws into where normally the insert nut goes. Bizare

Maybe I'm just expecting too much out of my e30 and should just go slower into the corners. But on the handling circuit, when going faster and faster on the roundabout it just understeers loads, then goes really wide, so a big stab of throttle gets the back round. Maybe I just need a pot more practi...

Went to another airfield day run by motorsport events, was only 120 all day open pit and the have a separate handling circuit. Had a play with front arb to try and sort out understeer, but still no joy, and the toyo t1r's took a pasting and are all puckered up! Didn't get to try out the Yokohama tra...

Re-conditioned engine is just that, anyone can do it, it's just someone saying it's ok, it's not a rebuilt engine.

Out of stock so going for Yokohama ado4 instead, less than 360 quid aswell. Have to see how they cope.

Please can I have a set! Emailed again. Or I'll just have to get them from eBay at the higher price.

Well which is the best at the 450 area then? And what width? Cheers for the advice

£437.75 for a set of r888 in 195/50/15 fitted. Bloody expensive! I paid less than half that for my t1r's. Decisions decisions.

If you ever decided to break the fridge I would be interested in the engine, not the manifolds, turbo etc.

Right currently on t1r 195/45/15 which are not to my liking, understeering. Should I go for 205 width, or go for a different make, maybe r888? Or ado4?

I was in a dark blue e30, m30 3.5, had my bonnet off. There were a couple of e30's, Matt black one and a touring.

Emailed, and messages on ebay really fancied getting these before next weekend to see how they cope on a trackday. Spring rates are 625 front 1000 rear going by your eBay advert

I would guess no, as 316 has 45mm front struts. Emailed waiting on response.

I've ordered some rpm front top mounts to see if it cures my chronic understeer, be testing them on track next week. I'll do a write up and some pics if I remember!

Interested in spring rates, ie how stiff are the springs? It one spring or two on the front strut?

It was a pig to get off mine, big bar and pry it down! I spent ages with heat guns, freeze spray, wd40, I just had to man up and beast it off.

Biggest chav fest I've been to, had afew goes on the drift arena.

Been poking about and finding rust, dammit! This is getting more and more in-depth and expensive! Need to change that, was working and living in Italy comming home every so often then started seeing someone from back home, so when the job ended came home and now living together with marriage on the ...

New bearings and back plates fitted, got poly bushes in the arms and BMW ones in the beam, new handbrake shoes and cables already fitted, getting new drive shafts.

Got my 89 325 on axle stands, rear beam is off, stripped it down, gave it a rub down, zinc primed and satin black painted it, had new bushes fitted,rear camber plates fitted. Going to freshen up a LSD I bought ages ago from simon13, fit a new fuel tank, changed the front to rear brake pipes and rear...
