a sports cam will liven it up at 3,500 - but you loose a bit low down. Very happy with mine. Oh & shave a bit off the flywheel...it all adds up ££££££££

thanks guys - Shorty yours is just what I'm after so when I get some more cash I'll have a stab at that. Cars just run out of MOT/TAX & has a huge crack accross the windscreen

Hi,

Looking to upgrade the brakes on my track car. I've seen 'kits' for over £1k but thats a bit over the top - can anyone recommend a good big brake kit at a reasonable price.

325i 1987 on 15" rims

thanks

Great first day out in this car at Elvington. The weather was dry and so an excellent opportunity to try out the R888’s and the rest of the car. Some of the usual cars there but also a GTR with uprated exhaust (is that necessary!) and a Dodge Viper ”“ but relatively quiet. Great to empty the water o...

moggy tell me about donnington

I bought an intake heat sheild from him & he sent it as I sent the cheque - so a trustworthy deal

Thanks Strider!

Well great name (reminds me of a pet name for the wife!)

Tom bought my springs & sent cash very quickly - just royal mails next day delivery let us down.

Anyway genuine guy & a pleasure to deal with

Thanks Tom!

Planning on putting the car in the TTRS next year.

well here, kind of sideways just not going http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll170/doggydoo2000/100_1677.jpg White rims with R888's oh yeah! http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll170/doggydoo2000/100_1680.jpg must grow myself a mullet & play some Duran Duran....looking very 80's http://i288.photobuc...

You'll need shades! For these rims..... :D http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll170/doggydoo2000/100_1654.jpg Blessed with (one of) the finest shade of hammerite and the clearest of lacquers.... http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll170/doggydoo2000/100_1653.jpg Sure, should have been powder coated o...

(mods put this in Motorsport if more suited) Update”¦.. Collected my car from Xsport Racing who were doing a whole load of work ”“ it wasn’t planned just wanted a cage fitting & I was going to get all the rest done (& more) overtime but just bit the bullet & got it done as they had good experience w...

that old chestnut.....

Piper got back to me - they dont do them.

I'm after the housing type as in the link I posted - not just a cover.

Cant find them on ebay - any ideas? Any fabricator willing to make some may find good interest in them...

hottuning I think - he has a build thread on here, looks like he's breaking it - legit tho. I've just had the manifold, cam & exhaust fitted (paid full wack!!) - with a live map its now doing 186bhp (325i 1987). The cam is fun - I wanted the more severe one but was advised on this same ratio (mine w...

Hi,

Anyone know if you can buy readymade induction heat shields for the e30 similar to this ?

http://www.signaturemotoring.com/Cold%2 ... Intake.htm

I've got a Powertec cone induction. Cant seem to find any site in the UK....

Interesting - cheers Shorty. I'll look back at this once I've finished any mods/lightening

xSport Racing in Basingstoke (see cragles above) - just got mine back - gone out to front & rear suspension turrets & pinned onto the frame in many places. Was £1600 they removed my dash & put it back in - I wnet to them as they didnt need a total strip - drove it there & back. They did lots more to...

325i 4 door '87
Yep I realise 50/50 is out unless you want to add weight (i'll skip that) - battery is a good idea - will even things up.

enjoy the relative peace she will be less impressed in a few months when it's freezing

no, not in the car. Just been simply stripped & fibreglass bonnet, 2 race seats - no reduction from the bumpers.
I thought it was quite good tho (will look at the battery thanks)
What about the balance of weight?

Just had loads of work done (will update my build post with all this soon) including cage fitting - had the car weighed up, looking good. What does everyone think about the weight distribution? Not bad but not quite the illusive 50/50 Total: 1061 kg Front: 55% Rear: 45% Front Left 287kg Front Right ...

Looking nice shorty - nice to see someone who must be more skint than me! I've got some work going but I'll have to add your rad & brakes to my list sometime

Always a fun topic that gets everyone going - & this will just make it worse. There is a new application for the iphone/ipod touch that apparantly measures: 0-60 MPH Other Speed Tests (0-10 MPH through 0-100 MPH in 10MPH increments) Quarter Mile Elapsed Time Quarter Mile Trap Speed Elapsed Time and ...

Good stuff Ade - how fast was the fastest straight?! Didnt get any audio? did it record? - thought I'd piggyback your lesson & listen to his tips!

What did you/he think to the ARB's?

Bet youve got the bug now tho eh?!!

please PM me if you find a source scott

Nice. The guys who are preping my car are having mine done too - it must make quite a difference once done - I'd be interested to know - whens it going back on? - I'm sure others would be interested in getting theirs done , a new revenue stream for you??

Thanks - brian, yep I was getting confuggled with the m20 engine - there are different heads for the different models but only one for the 325. Just waiting on the garage, mixed messages - they are talking about a seized rocker shaft now.....? BSS325 thats a nice shiney head you got there!

Nice one Blitz - I did look on fleabay but didnt come up with that. I've asked a question as there are apparantly a number of different heads for the 325i

Been quoted £420 just for the head!! I cant do that I'd rather buy another car

Thanks again Blitz

Hi - looking for 325i 1987 cylinder head - have posted in 'wanted' but anyone know where I could buy one from

Thanks

Well that looks like lots of fun!

OK, thanks for the info everyone - so I'll not bother lagging. Yep the manifold is a work of art, lovely looking. Just got a couple of hours with a dremel to finish it off. Thanks again

Hi,

I've got a hottuning manifold on its way - I've read up on the benefits of insulating the exhaust to keep it hot & flowing. Anybody got an opinion on lagging the manifold & if its beneficial

Thanks

Anyone know if a Z3 PAS rack will fit a non PAS 325i yet maintain PAS?

Have a look here
