E30 Zone

they sound rather nice once youve got it set up right,needs a good power supply with nice short runs from a close battery,i wouldnt run it with 8gauge from a battery under the bonnet

most of this shoot was done on the mountain road behind my house! sad but true

the cells are linked together to make the required 7.2v,a higher mah rating just means it lasts longer,MAH= milli amp hours

adding more speakers wont improve the quality of the sound,it will make it louder,providing you have enough power to drive them Understood. But by adding more speakers of better quality will improve the overall sound. no that will give you a muddled sound,as the post above says,one decent set of sp...

having measured up my tourer(i gather the footwells are very similar of not exactly the same)you could also easily make an adaptor plate to put 6 and a half inch speakers in the original spots,anything can fit,it all depends what you are after

I'm looking to upgrade my speakers to get some good sound. I've already changed both footwell speakers to a set of vibe. The sound has improved but I would like to fit another set of speakers. I just want to know where else can speakers be put? I don't want to fit them into the parcel shelf as it'l...

i think you would need a 5 stud conversion,i havent seen any 4 stud reps

talkaudio is the busiest uk forum i think

i saw your thread while i was meandering about reading things,there are a lot of these 316i tourers popping up in this colour all of a sudden!

alternators dont put out much voltage at idle so you need to drive it properly to get charge, if the battery went dead and the voltage got very low then you will have damaged a cell and it wont ever hold full charge again(unless its a deep cycle battery)

dont know what the standard e30 offest is but et10 is going to sit out further,i would put a wheel on and see how close to the arch lip it is,then choose a tyre with enough stretch to not rub

thought i better get some photos of the work ive done to my tourer so far,this was bought as a 4 seater daily to let the skyline be a weekend toy.a boot big enough to have a silly stereo was a bonus i got it looking like a well used car,few dents and scratches but it matters not,the body is a lot mo...

it may have had 4x60 printed on it but a power output of 4x60rms would require a 20amp fuse(at 100%efficiency,class b amps like headunits and most consumer amps feature will hardly ever exceed about 60%efficiency)and thats without the power to run the rest of the internals,i think you will find that...

i use a pioneer p77mp in my systems
a decent deck still wont even give you 4x50rms and the average aftermarket speaker requires at least that,to get clarity you need power to drive speakers and if you dont have the appropriate power the net result = distortion and an overworked amp

im not sure i understand the above post,if you arent using single cone full range speakers then the strength of bass produced by mids wont affect the higher notes as they are played by the tweeters,if you get problems then its power supply not speakers adding aftermarket speakers to oe equipment is ...

as above,its a myth that tyres come off easily when streched,i watched drifting at llandow on saturday ,95% of the cars had stretched tyres and none came off

is it a mech or electric gauge? what sender have you used if its electric,cold idle could be over 5 bar (my dirty nissan r33 gets 7 bar at idle when cold,and the gauge reads up to 9)

the 4x25rms(4x50 is rubbish,you wont get that) supplied by most headunits isnt enough to drive decent aftermarket components properly,if you amp decent components that are well installed you may well find that a sub is not needed at all

in halfords you will pay 19.99 on ebay the same connectors can be had for under £5

enjoyed seeing(and hearing) you out with this at llandow this weekend. real shame about those tractor tyres mullering the bumper and rad (how did you get it running again,i thought it was done for after that impact!) looked cool with the lights and camera around it for the photoshoot too,look forwar...

is there a parts diagram somewhere that shows how the rear window trim goes together so i can work out how to get it all of without breaking it? my rear window is leaking and as i live in wales i need to sort it sharpish!

they swell up less and last loads longer than oe rubber ones,ive had enough rubber hoses fail but no silicon ones so far

measure it with calipers

not really,depends if one system has less overall bends

theres a million speakers around now,without an amp look at speakers with high efficiency,anything under 90db will require decent power,most of the usual suspects do speakers designed to work with normal stereo power levels,alpine pioneer and kenwood all do drop in replacements for oe speakers

you might have trouble finding a fuse block for 0 gauge and 80amp fuses,a 0 gauge block will be anl fuses that usualy come in 120amp or larger,80 amp fuses are normaly the glass type agu(?) fuses

depending where you are i would say archenemy would be the best choice

thats going to be a great project car,shall keep watching this thread as im doing my own project tourer at the moment

im sure they will recommend you get a progressive controller,its hard to get a single shot right,progressive just makes more sense

no,by all accounts fitting the 1.9 m44 is much more of a headache,theres a thread with an explanation of the wiring differences i saw while i was reading around earlier

im going to look at a crashed compact tonight to see what engine its got,hopefully to use as a donor for my touring.whats the easy way to identify the difference with the engine in situ,car has been debadged and the owner isnt about so i can see the logbook,if its the right engine i cant afford to l...

the spring weights are bound to be different for the tourings so although they might fit they wont be right
