Re: Kidney removal?

They have the same top clips as the kidney, undo them.
There is also a small philips head screw in the bottom outside corner of each grill that needs to be removed.

Re: ANYONE BOUGHT A SPORT FROM IRELAND?

It's true, generally registered Irish cars will be more expensive than the UK as we have to pay Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) on importing the car, which is 28% of the open market sale value (usually picked out of their ass). Sports in particular got hit big time with them costing €2,000 on VRT a...

Fair enough, they are a 4 pot engine, but they are a nic little revy engine that takes a bit of abuse (unlike the ...

Rear valance should be covered up with the tech 1 trim so should be easy enough to hide. Is there a d...

Am looking into fitting a tech 1 kit to my 1991 318is. There is already a tech 2 kit on it but I prefer the old school look of the tech 1. Has anyone done this before? If so where will I have problems with it? I presume that the valances and arches will have differences between the early and late mo...

I don't get this thread.

Why did you start a thread defending what you've done to your car? Nobody had commented on it, or told you what they would otherwise do.

You've now succesfully labelled your own car council though with this. :mad:

Re: 17s or 18s

16" low and wide 8) Agreed, in my opinion anything over 16s look silly on an E30, unless your car warrants having huge brakes. I agree... Aside from the looks, they handle like muck with 17's also. 15's or 16's are the best imo. Had 17's before, fitted 14's and it felt like a new car. Will never go...

Stan, you're saying that your car understeers with the power on and tightens up the line when you back off? Pretty much. I don't lose traction on the front or anything (far from it). It feels like the rear wheels are locked so much (when accelerating) that it is pushing the car straight on. It even...

Best Diff Ratio for a 325i Track Car

Would it be better for track use to put a 4.1 ratio diff into a 325 rather than the 3.76 ratio that is in it? To my knowledge, the 4.1 would have better accaleration but a lower top end speed which would suit a track car more, i think.... You rarely break 100mph+ on a track so the final top end spee...
