I am unsure of the clutch in it. I would assume it is a sprung one. The clutch engages fairly smoothly. Its just the weight of flywheel that is an issue. Very little throttle and the engine picks up to high revs very quickly and because only a small amount of throttle is applied it stalls easily.

Does the flywheel need to match clutch. Will I need the pressure plate and starter off the same vehicle too

It alright for daily use? I know someone selling a full conversion that has a solid flywheel but it is so light its a bit of a pain to drive slow/in traffic. It alsoa has lightweigh pistons m5 crank shrick cam and a few other bits on it so needs to be able to handle extra power. Looking to put somet...

What are people running in conversions. What should be avoided. Want to use a solid flywheel. Anybody got any bits gathering dust in garage? Also whats peoples experiences with rack conversions with the m30. I have an e46 rack with danthes pipes and linkage.will this fit?

i just ordered an e46 067 rack of ebay but they sent part number 6 753 435. I am assuming that is the standard e46 rack? whats the difference between the two?

there was none on ebay when i looked. there is a pair on there now. got mine from this site http://www.schmiedmann.co.uk/5_series/E ... 6.htm#3803
quite a handy site. can buy new or used too.

in need of 2 e34 ujs for rack conversion. are both the ujs on the e34 the same? or do you have to get one from two separate cars? cheers.

Have also seen people running a cooler on these too. What is best?

looking to do an e46 clubsport rack conversion soon. its going into a 325 tourer with standard exhaust manifolds and wms 4pot conversion. what are your experiences with different installation methods and what are pros and cons? is the rack bolted into place with 8mm or 14mm as i have read conflictin...

is it cut to shape or do you have to do that yourself?

Just about to do service. Need a rough idea how much oil they take. Cheers in advance.

Dont want stretched tyres. Only reason i am thinking of going narrower and smaller profile on front is for clearance. I had 205 55 15 on the front and they caught inner arch on full lock.? I know a lot of people run 9jsdown on the rear but they are always on stretched tyres wasn't 100%there the 225 ...

thinkin of getting some 16x8 et20 wheels. what is offset of standard bbs? thinking ofgoing 215/40/16 on the front and 225/45/16 on the rear as this gives me the closest rolling diameter to what is on there at the moment. will I have any clearence issues with these sizes? car is tourer on a 30mm drop?

Aren't the 540 callipers single pot? Whats the engine spec on car with wms kit? So would you suggest go bigger than 280s

Car is a 325 tourer. So far it has only bin used on the road.. but I live in the isle of man and there are no speed limits. Brakes are ok most the time but going over the mountain road they get absolutely cooked ontthe descent. Is it worth going up to a 16"wheels wheel to get slightly bigger brakes?...

What size brakes and wheels are you running a what sort of use does the car get? Have you experienced and brake fade?

What brake upgrades are you running. I have standard brakes with ebc redstuff pads and ebc discs but I keep cooking them. How good is the rx7 calliper with corrado disks? Does it mess up the bias between front and rear of car? Some of the kits (s3 willwood etc) look good but dunno if my budget can s...

Roughly what would a standard325 do a 1/4 in?

I live in the isle of man. Dont think theres any m52 e30s over here. I would be putting on m50 manifold. I have a full scorpion system on at the moment I am hoping to use. Can you get a 6 branch to fit in the e30 and what rack options does that leave you with?what other mods work well with m52?

I've only been in an m30 powered e30. Feels pretty good but would like to weigh up my options. Light Ally block modern engine does sound appealing. But how does it compare to the torque of the m30?

I currently have an 88 325 Tourer. Just blown head gasket and instead of fixing I am thinking of doing a conversion. But I am undecided what is best for me. It is a road car going to be used for trackdays and drift days. What is quicker in a straight line? What upsides and downsides do each of conve...

how bad are they when cold. how much does it take to get enough heat in them to start working alright. would redstuff be a better compromise?

What difference does dot 5.1 fluid make. What is standard? Id not thought about the pads being harsh on discs but dont mind replacing them a little more frequently. When you say you have not had good results with ebc what were you not happy aboutwith them. I dont really want to put standard discs an...

just been having a read through some info on ebc brakes. i like the sound of the yellow stuff pads. has anyone used these or the redstuff. what do you think of them? cold breaking, brake fade and dust?

I am in need of new brakes. The car currently has some drilled discs and carbotech pads i think but i am getting a lot of heat and brake fade. The discs are showing blueing. What brakes would you recommend? The car is a 325 touring it is not an everyday car but is used around town so dont want pads ...

when i got my car it had bridgestone potenzas on it and the car felt really good on them. didnt get much tyre roll on them and were good in wet and dry. the proxes are grippy wet and dry but in comparison to the potenzas the car feels vague at high speed and the tyres roll a lot when pushing it in c...

has anybody used toyo r888, toyo r1r yokohama ad08 or federal 595s etc. what have you used and what would you recommend? they are going on fast road/trackday 325i touring.

dont get TOYO T1R PROXES theyre crap! I get less tyre roll in my van.

mine would definitely not go in. I put a little chamfer on edge to help line up and slide in easier. when I lined them up ready to press in I could see light between two opposite sides and fouled a bit too much to risk forcing it in on the other 2 edges. not had a chance to measure it yet but it was...

Cheers for the replies. Got the diff fitted and locks up really good but had troubles trying to fit z3m bush. It is slightly ovalised. Has anyone fitted one of these bushes with no issues? Had to stick with the polybush, I have heard complaints about these but I'll Have to stick with wit for now.

both 3,91

changing my open diff to lsd tomorrow. are the backplates interchangable? the backplate on the open has a polybush in it and will be easier to take this bush out to replace with z3m bush than removing original e30 bush from lsd backplate.

When I got the car it was on bridgestone potenzas. 55 on rear and 50 pn the front. It was pretty planted on them. But my budget would not stretch that far when I bought the tyres towards the end of last summer. I had a bit of a chat with the man at the tyre shop and these were highly recommended by ...

i currently have 15" bbs on 205/55 proxes but I am getting too much tyre roll and its a bit vague at high speed cornering. am thinking of going down to 50 profile or going to 16" wheels and a 45 profile. think lensos look ok but what is the quality like? does anybody run these tyre sizes or wheels t...

is there going to be a few of these knocked up for an m20 and for sale? very interested if they are.
