Re: ello, I'm new

Just bringing this back to life, I'm back looking for an E30. I laugh now looking at my previous comments - £1300 budget and more alarmingly it seemed I would get a good one for that! I never did manage to get one back then, I met my missus and went travelling, then house + kids etc. I've been into ...

cheers for the views when you say switchable do you mean sports mode/normal mode? I currently have a cavalier V6 auto. While the box is very good for normal driving, economy mode its sluggish, but sports mode it flies, minor adjustments of the throttle kick back to high revs. Although it's the only ...

it's a good idea and works very well in other forums i've used.

Also to go along with the name and shame list should be a Bad sellers list and a References Forum within the forum for sellers to post and others to write about their experiences.

where do you mount your tweeters?

Hi all

I know they need to be pointing towards your ear, but where do you mount them? Pics would be good :D

Can you mount them with the footwell speaker, but pointing up towards the driver?

thanks for any info

:D tailhappy in the wet sounds good to me, i'll just drive like a saint. Does lowering make a difference on how easily to back flips out? My last bmw was lowered a good 60mm at the back (bought it like it, was planning on chaning it to a 30/15 drop) What are the points to look for? Cam chain mainten...

Currently driving around in a V6 Cavalier as a stop gap, good car though. I'm not sure which E30 I'll be going for yet, even though i've had 2 bi...
