looks pre facelift to me...

Thanks guys, Im just a little confused as to what radiator hose set up I have, although my car is a 91 i thinks its a pre facelift still, using older style rad and older water bottle, car was also a chromie. here is a picture of engine now, could someone tell me which pipe kit i need? http://img715....

Hi Guys,

Anyone know the best place to buy a Samco silicone radiator hose kit for a 1991 M20 2.5 E30? Just the radiator hoses or the whole kit?

Regards,

Tim

Ha ha, Thanks guys, Yeah wasnt a track day, was just a practice session so wasn't really pushing it, still getting used to it. That is the old pit entry, but yes it is very narrow, stupid really, guess it's to slow people down.

Thanks Geoff,

Much appreciated, That was actually last week when I hired the track for two hours, as you can see there were no other cars there which allowed me to do some filming!

will reply to your email soon!

Give me your comments!

Sorry i understand what you mean now! I saw this thread:

Certainly looks the easiest way to do conversion.

Thanks for reply,

Excuse my ignorance but what are the U-Js? Are they Tie rod ends?

And the Custom Spline if for where?

I have a track car, my E30 only gets used on the track, I am currently using a manual E30 steering rack but its turning is way to long, could anyone help me by telling me what I need to go to a E36 steering rack, I wont be using power steering, so i guess its just a case of fitting new rack and stee...

that is flipping fast and stupidly loud that E36!! Love it!

Yeah they are 8.5inch ET13. A 235/40/17 would only make 2.3% difference to what i have now!

10.5j on the back of yours! very nice!

Looks Great Geoff, Sounds Lush.

Thanks stevin,

Running 225, 45, 17 bridgestone semi slicks.

Schnitzers are 8.5 inch wide, should run 235's really.

Sorry i need all the wheels i can get!!

Geoff! New Lap time was 1min 24sec! 4 seconds quicker. Car was great.

HI Rory, No it's not road legal, I did take it on the road yesterday but I must say it is not enjoyable on the road and feels dangerous. It was originally a 4 door, door were stripped to nothing and welded shut. My cage is actually very poor and would like to do a new one so pictures of my cage will...

Thanks Geoff, Credit to your CDI though, its working great, I drove car yesterday on the n2 for a bit and I must say it is a bit of an animal! Back wheels were spinning first, second and third haha!

Sorry I didn't get a printout of the wheel power.

also interested in one!

Geoff hugely impressive, very pleased for you, QUALITY CAR!!

yeah does look like a sweet mod, i was also thinking of machining the arm down, that guy in the forum just grinded his, i dont think it will weaken it to much! I notice that his car is for drifting but im sure for track or race use it would be a good upgrade. I might start this project and ill post ...

benefits of mod are more castor and major neg camber, up to -8 deg

but with camber plates you can get it back to -3/4 deg

Hi guys, Im thinking of doing this modification, wondered what your thoughts are. Lots of info on here http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90004 Only problem is using longer tie rod ends, seems that you use e34 ones. Also im not sure where to bolt sway bar links, not sure if you can weld b...

Yeah no worries guys,

Was a stupid question, I have them set on maximum, but dont worry all 4 bolts are in place still!

Hi all,

Just a quick question, to achieve maximum camber with the rpm plates do you have to take out one row of the cap screw bolts in order for you to slide it over more? Is this dangerous, dont want to run with just one set of cap screw bolts.

Thanks,

Tim

Geoff they are actually BMW M5 Reps, original M5 wheels were 18 inch though, these are 17 inch by 8 inches wide, ET20. Been powder coated white. Didn't pay much for them, very light as well, good enough for some spares. Very pleased with the mirrors, they are carbon fiber and incredibly sturdy and s...

I know this forum is a little boring and old, but car has been going through some problems lately but i am slowly sorting them out. Had to get my head skimmed and cam re-cut/hardened/polished, new rockers and sleeves, new exhaust valves. Will be fitting it soon with solid copper gasket to take the t...

Just to show you guys a few more pictures, Engine is now finished with pencil coils fitted, cdi working really well thanks to geoff. http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/5063/engineg.jpg http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3834/photo1so.jpg http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/890/dsc02690pi.jpg http://i...

absolutely stunning! so jealous

Yea I have given him everything, and the cdi will be on a seperate power source and not sharing.

He is going to do a few tests for me on the Dyno to see if intercooler to small don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of it. Will let u know!

Cheers.

Tim
