Might be worth keeping it up out of the actual spare wheel hole, if you have the misforture to crash the car ass first into something solid there's not a lot of room for the wheel well to deform without squeezing and bursting a fuel cell. Anywhere on the boot floor should be safe enough though. How...

Shit dude that sucks but it's a common thing. Was it locked if so what lock did you use as I wanna make sure I don't have one! Just put a shout on www.ukrallying.com you might wanna try www.britishrally.co.uk and ask people to keep an eye out. Your in stafford right? Might be worth driving round the...

Has anyone lightened them if so are there any tips? i.e. areas not to drill and so forth and does anyone sell lightweight door cards (carbon or fibreglass)? Or plasty glass window kits?

now does that part NEED to be there? (coupling??) what would be the consiquences (sp?) of it not being there? I thought that by a mate who is a mechanical engineer said it's a weighted balance and it protects the Guibo thing. I just didnt have any spanners to get round it. You can't get a socket in...

1) What are the signs of wear on this dohnut thing, small cracks? 2) Can anyone recomend a 17mm ring spanner for the job of undoing the nuts that are recessed in the round thing that cover it, the two I have are either too shallow or too wide to get in their. Sorry for the use of none technical word...

I'm doing an engine swap at the moment and I've noticed that my rubber dohnut has small cracks in it is this normal or a sign of wear?

If the light is annoying you that much there is always the black insulation tape option as they mean f all to most people. I wonder how much BMW main stealers made out of replacing pads that didnt need doing

Don't wanna scare you but last time I had high HC's in an engine it was the prelude to a melted piston!

That was almost geordie! Welcome to the zone 'for sure'!

THERMOSTAT then bleed it. It sounds like it's not opening.

Anyone know where to get new oil coolers for the 325i or is there an off the shelf replacement?

stappin i'm only refering to the rear here but from what i can see of it the bearing slots into the trailing arm and is stopped by a 2 or 3mm lip to stop it falling out the back. So after a few tight corners the wheel would move in from it's centerline as the bearing slid through the hole, or worse...

The original post was only refering to the rear stappin not a good idea as the wheel has the potential to fall off :mad: jmc330i I'm not changing to 5 stud, but while i've got it in pieces i was just looking to see what can be changed if i choose to uprate the brakes at some point and figured that ...

what a about a fully locked diff i.e. welded up how would that work or handle?

Question if E30 M3 front hub use a bigger bearing why not fit a smaller bearing and pack it out with a collar or spacer type affair til it fits?

I'm not a happy man! After my battery dying on me the other day, then my idle problems, i get in the car this morning and it's totally dead. For some reason, the second-hand battery i put in there has drained overnight. Anyway - that's another issue i have to sort, but my question here relates to t...

I cant believe you guys are telling him to use a vice, dont you think that a vice would deform the strut leg? it will affect everything from camber to caster if you bend it even lightly. :oops: Andrew These things arent made of cheese they can take some violence what do you think happens when you h...

You defo sure about your stereo being wired correctly? I had one once that if you didnt turn it off properly when you removed the face it was still on poxy thing took me 3 weeks to figure it out.

Also do you have a seperate power amp? Could just be a shagged battery...

Theres a panel thats held on by 4 bolts on the top of the bulk head in the middle, the multiplug is attached to it that'll give you access to the fan heater.

Personally I'd use a vice and plenty of violence.

I used a workmate to hold it and then cut a slot at an angle in the offending item then wedged a large screw driver in the slot and erm tapped it with a medium sized walloping device. Worked a treat

Its awesome! I'll try and take pictures of it. I'm just trying to figure out why it woud break?

Anybody have some cool/rare/exotic Euro Cams for sale?

Kyle

Did the "chunk" do any another damage?

lentec what have you done for the rear? JimmyC look forward to seeing the photos.

A coilover will fit into the original fixings fine, I am using a modified top mount which has all the rubber taken out and a rose joint put in. This is for tarmac use, guess for a rally car substantial strengthening will be needed Are you talking about front or rear? If your on about rear do you ha...

I used 12" springs and found they are too long so the adjusters are at full extent! I used 280lb springs as i said they are too hard! think 200s 6 or 8" would have been a better choice. Also im using OE top mounts 8) How much ride height do the 12" springs give you? Remembering I'm after a high car...

As far as I'm aware you can still run standard top mounts. I'm planning on fitting steel top mounts from a MkII escort and making them fit.

I'm placing an order with www.raldes.co.uk for all 4 corners (Ãƒ”šÃ‚£31 each!) so this should be an interestin project gonna go for 250lb 12" springs (Ãƒ”šÃ‚£14 a corner) on the front to kick off with might require a bit of pretensioning but what the hell.

http://www.stupidvideos.com/Default.asp?VideoID=872

how long are the springs 10 inch or 12's?

I've been thinking of running 200-220lb springs on the front and 140-160lb springs on the rear what ones did you go for that were too hard? My mates mkII uses 300lb when on tarmac and 200lb on gravel.

Did you mean somthing like this? http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/lentec/image017.jpg Cost me Ãƒ”šÃ‚£30 per side! Is a bit hard tho! as the springs i went for are way to heavy THAT IS EXACTLY what I meant :P by heavy you mean stiff? Did you use standard shocks and is that the tweeks kit? Come...

You guys are all on tarmac though? So your setup is hard as nails yeah?
