E30 Zone

Just jacked the car up to check again, thebots are in place and the diff is atan angle, its pointing up at the frontand down at the back. the front being the prop shaft side.

Every bushing in the car has only just been replaced with powerflex poly bushes. that plate coming out from the beam may be bent. can you see the link..?

I was thinking that but my diff is now hanging about 2 inches lower than it should be so does that mean the beam is bent..?

By the way this bushing had less than 20 miles on it when it failed like this and broke my back plate.

the diff in my car is now hanging down a few inches from where it should be, should the four bolts in the too of the diff not be holding it in place even though the bush is not in place...? I'm getting images in my head that the mounting plate that's part of the rear beam in bent and that's why it's...

So is there going to be another group buy..?

After reading through this thread noticed that in everyons case the insurance quote always goes up. Has anyone ever had a quote for cheaper insurance seeing as the car is safer because of the modifications...?? I know I have spent alot of money on my 320i as regards suspension, bigger brakes and a 3...

Thanks lads, only got lookin into the us spec ones today they seem to be a less focused version really well that just my angle on it, only thing is his mates over there reckon there really clean over there and with the language being the same it just seamed an easy option... The budget seems to be a...

To right gary, lookin in the states first for rust reasons unless something suitable turns up here...

My Dad has finaly come to his senses an is on the look for an E30 M3.. I've never been so proud..ha

Yeah thats all I could find aswell but some say there fine once the internals are checked over and reassmbled but I would have to agree that at that price the quality has to be poor...

Found an aftermarket lsd on ebay its an OBX item as far as I can tell its the same as the Quaife one only half the price. what I want to know is if anyone has any experience with this diff?

Its just because the cab is rotten and the 320 has the m-tech 2 kit and interior from factory bar the black roof lining and more importantly its a very clean shell only down side is it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding...

Hi Will a scorpion exhaust system from a cab 325 fit my 2dr 320 (both have dual pipes from the manifold back)..? Same for the traling arms and rear lights, engine, box and lsd....? I'm sure the enging box and diff will fit no problem but just checking. Also any ideas what an E30 325 cab is worth for...

I found a diff in a scrap yard the tag says it a 3.91 v 85 from what I know that should be an open diff but I could be wrong.? does anyone know what it is..?

Thanks Brian.

Am I right in saying the rear wheel bearings on a 320i non ABS are torqued into place...? If so does any body know what the specified torque is...?

sorry mate need a 4.10 diff. anyone got one...?

I found an LSD for sale near me but its a 3.15 diff and I'd like a 4.10 or a 3.91. Can this diff be changed and whats involved or do I have to keep looking for another..?

Just after geting back home after driving a 325i sport for the first time and I have to say from some of the things I have read on here about m20b25 power Im a little disapointed. Ok I know mine is only a 320i but I knew it was going to be slow before I bought it (it wouldnt pull the skin off a rice...

My front control arm bushes could do with replacing but I need the eccentric bush part number to order them. Does any one know the part number or where I can get it...?

thanks for the info lads. No significant rust inside the drum so far but the assembly looks tricly to say the least. I will no douth have more questions after I get stuck into it tomorrow.

I am replacing the trailing arm bushings and I need to remove the arms themselves to press in the new ones but Ive never done this before so Im wondering how exactly the handbreak cable is removed from the back of the drum also the righthand trailing arm bolt is being fouled by the fuel tank flexi h...

Can this be done? Im sure I heard of it done somewhere? A 200bhp diesel E30 would be interesting in the wet!!

what about the brake servo and brake lines are they all the same wheather drums or discs?

I`ve got the rear end stripped at the min, replacing all bushings and fitting 325 engine and running gear. I decided I was going to need better brakes and I might aswell do them now while I`m in there. So its a bolt on upgrade I dont need to modify anything....?

I want to fit the rear brakes from a 325 to my 320. Does anyone know what exactly is needed to convert and whats involved...?

How does this effect the performance of the lights...?

Michelin Pilot Sports are the best in my opinion and ContiSport Contact 3`s are very good all rounders aswell. Its worth spendin the money for a tire you trust because at the end of the day its the only thing keeping your car on the road.

LOL thanks. It's the rarer C2 2.5 with a 525eta lump with Alpina custom top, pushing 195bhp. If your ever at a meet I am I will take you out for a spin.

I might just take you up on that one.

If the seat back is wobbly, take the rear trim off & it will be apparent how the seat assembles. If you're lucky it'll be as simple as tightening the retaining screw(s). If you're unlucky, the screw won't be there anymore.. If youre seriously unlucky, you may need weld the tab back on the tilt mech...

A loss of traction is caused by to much torque being applied to the tires. Once the traction is lost a combination of revs and opposite lock determine the angle or degree of "sidewaysness" and the lenght of the slide.

Why dose a welded diff help drifters? Think of the rear wheels working together as oppose to independently. One wont spin without the other. Its like the old matchbox cars we use to play with when we were kids, the wheels would only spin together at the same time as there would be one basic axle co...

Sorry I read the question wrong a welded diff locks the diff all the time so both wheels turn at exactly the same speed always. This makes tight bends difficult and parking a nightmare. But makes drifting easier.
