It's an incredibly complicated mathematical formula where you take the quoted figure for horsepower and divide it by the cubic capacity. E.g 171/2.5=68.4 Right i'm lost.... how :rofl: Fair enough, just never heard of bhp/l before, so was intruiged! It's actually pretty simple. A very good measure o...

m8 my ghia 2ltr 4 speed,,woud do my mates xr4i,,,we used to race each other all over back then till 2-3 in the morning,,,happy days..oh my motor had only 62k on the clock :D you had to be in my car to believe it,,,that car was a legend,,,all the boyz wanted to buy it off me not for sale though :D p...

i weld a washer tyo the broken stud first to get a good weld and you can see better so as not to weld stud to hole. thenb weld big nut to washer. easy outs are good as long as the bolt isnt seized in.

325i will whip an xr4I even more a 4x4 ,,,,,fact,,,i beat an xr4i in my 2ltr ghia,y reg 4 speed,,many times.# :D 100 % 325i will beat any 2.8 cologne engine ford. 2 ltr ghia sierra will not do an xr4i though if both are standard and not knackered. anyways as i comparason i think the xr4i is the clo...

i know its to late now but when i have to remove snapped exhaust studs from an engine i drill through the centre of the stud so it releaves a bit of pressure from the threads and then weld a nut to the stud and they normally come out eventually.

well car is on the back burner for a few days ive been busy with this little one. http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/scooobyslayer/millafirst002.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/scooobyslayer/millafirst007.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/scooobyslayer/millafirst010.jpg ht...

cant compare to mk1 / 2. comparable to an xr4i thats the equivelant car of the day and worth similar money to an e30 325i.

and as for british ford is american aint it ? but i consider my cosworth british as cosworth are in northampton

ive been in a genuine 600 + bhp cosworth that achieved 190 mph at brunters and that doesnt wheelspin to 160 mph. as said the e30 is fast and has loads of power but something is a miss. the wheels are not spinning at 160 + mph no way imo.

its a quick car but that speedo is 100 % telling porkies.

thanks guys happiest day of my life

well havnt had much time to work on car. my daughter is here after missus in labour for 48 hours ! we where within 10 minutes of quiting and going for a c section when she finally came, scariest thing in my life ! she perfectly healthy 8 pound 7 ounces, tall and slim like her mom with some of my fac...

top guy very helpful, parts where sorted and sent and recieved within 2 days. good parts at a good price. got messed around by e30 centre for a fortnight

its not just about drifting

i think an lsd is essential for better traction

it is, a good 325i with no slipper will spin its arse of in the wet. and if it doesnt its not running properly.
