Thats good, I assumed the weight and distribution should be quite good with in being two inline 4's basically, but I thought it a little rude to suggest you should aim for the apex's :P I'd also be taking it easy with passengers if it was wet and I had 340bhp in an e30.[/quote] All good mate, thanks...

How heavy is the engine as it doesn't seem to make that many apex's if I am honest. :o: Does seem to want to scrub the front end on a bit, but the weather could have had an influence. It is hard to tell from a video. The noise is clearly sexual. Its quite...

Re: 16x9 e30 Wheel experts needed :)

4)How much minimum clearance would you recommend between the strut and the rim/tire? The main problem is with rim, tire will rub itself the space it needs. I'd say 1,5-2mm is the minimum you've to have between strut and rim. If your front main bearings are old / worn, then they can let the rim touc...
