Re:

Hi guys, Been a long time! Thanks for all the comments :D I have been trying to sort out the cable harness chaos lately, and it's starting to get better. I have also mounted the dashboard, wired up the heater system and some other things in the dash. :D I don't have so many pictures of this, and it'...

Re:

Thank you guys!
No, this is the harness for the E30 M3. I pulled out the entire harness when i did the prep-work in the floor, so this is just a replacement for the old harness :)
The engine harness is the only from E36 M3.

Okay guys, time for a small update... I have welded the rust in the floor, painted it and installed some sound deadening material.

Re: S50 - Spacer on left engine mount?

Yeah, at the page I was refering to earlier that sells the spacer and engine mounts, it says to be mounted on the left side. But I wasn't sure if that was the cars left side, or the left side when you are facing the engine bay (Cars right side). Cause the most sensible thing would be, like you said,...

Re: S50 - Spacer on left engine mount?

Actually, I don't know what car they came from. I will check the part number today.
But what kind of engine mounts should I use, that is not as flexible, and do not require spacer on one of the sides?

Hi! It's time to drop in my S50B30, and somewhere for a while ago, I read something about a spacer on the left engine mount / mounting arm? How thick should this spacer be?

Gazm3: 8,5 x 17" in the front and 10x17" in the rear.
215/45 in the front and 245/40 in the rear. Gotta love the stretch, but I'm going for a bit wider now when I buy new tyres. 225 or 235 in the front and 265 or 285 in the rear.

I don't know if you guys in the UK (and other places) will follow the same standard. I see that germany is still making almost only red fire vehicles, so does Sweden. It's actually depending on which fire department here in Norway that order the vehicles, as there ain't no standard color. So... we'l...

I love that flourescent coloured Fire engine, looks so diferent to the normal red one! That's the new standard for the fire vehicles here in Norway. It's not decided by the law or anything, but as the ambulances changed color to this color (Named "Rescue Yellow") the fire vehicles changed after a w...
