they were lying in the boot lol. there from the old council spec springs that were on it which got binned along with the offcuts too. it does seam to feel alot more solid now that it actually has a decent spring rate.

yeah they were in the boot of the car :0 i took the old ones off and they were very much cut. car surprisingly felt ok on them. but ive not got cut springs on it any more,there a set of 40s off ebay but they seam alot lower than 40 for some reasonno cut springs for me,that would be insta -death. il ...

had a wee play with my suspension height today, what you guys think.? i think its a nice balance between cool and functional.

go onto ireland engineering, e30 goldmine, under performance parts they sell bothe heavy duty cast rockers and billet roller rockers too

not my thing really, why not just have a shit paint job so it looks rat but doesn't rot away at an alarming rate.

all i can say is well done m8 for keeping the chin up after that tosser done a horrid job,
whoever done the second job done a very thorough job and deserves recognition.

good choice on the colour too, much more 80s cab.

this car also has had new "sideshirts" fitted.

sounds good

ahh nice one.

already a step ahead

are you planning on using an external wastegate ?

because on all of the holsets ive used i have blocked the internal off as the outlet is far too small causing the boost to creep.

tial or turbosmart do good wastegates.

ive seen paint jobs like that that look fab but thats terrible.

best one ive seen is candy red to silver faded like that

that is horrid

does sound like it, is there any leaking of water or any funny bearing noises, could be that the veins on the pump have worn or broke off or the actual impeller has broke free of the pulley and is only pumping at high rpm.

i have been looking for some of this aswell, its like stone chip but it can be painted over.

they do pop off, just you dont see that in edited videos, ive seen stretched tyres sidewalls falling to bits a few times now that is why i am so against them, one of my m8s back left gave way and it could have ended very nasty, funnily enough he now runs the correct width tyres.. fact is that stretc...

leave the car as is, nothing even slightly council about it, you see m3s with bbs and a rake constantly, bit of an insult calling the m8s car council really, keep up the good work m8, nice find even if it is a replica, a wee tidy up and it will be awsome.

sums it up really.

hi guys, my 325 was running perfect until it randomly cut out losing power, now it will spin over but just wont fire up, i have checked and i have good compression and spark, i have a feeling it is the fuel pump?
anyone else had this problem.

awsome that is all i can say

need to remember its not so much the loss in power, as a automatic tranny is never 100 percent locked and the engine is basically turning a large oil pump you lose response more than anything else. a auto car never picks up like a manual does when you get youre foot down, thats what i always bear in...

i usually just use old stuff in a wee runaround. you got any extremely non performance oriented cars. atleast then you dont need to worry about pre ignition or knocking on a runaround.

hi guys im going to be doing the coilover conversion sleeve kit to my car as ive had good experiences with these types of shock mods when i used to do them on the old corolla gts. what i was wanting to know is which shock body diameter do i require for my 1988 bmw 325. i am certain that it is 51mm b...

ahh ok. thanks. had me worried there lol

i seam to have this problem too. i turn the key and i cant hear any audible hum before starting.mine also takes a good few turns before it kicks into life. is this normal or am i experiencing the exact same problem as zidney here aswell.
thanks

im with bonnet and wing velours. get a few on the directio of air coming in and on the wings put some on the direction of leaving air.

gives a quite nice look and is extremely functional.

makes grip breakaway much more aggressive aswell. i wouldnt fit them just for that. ok for drifting but why drive a road car with tyres that have no give because they are stretched so much.

ok ive tracked it down to the crank sensor as theres almost 0 resistance across it. ive looked on euro car parts and there are two listed for my car. one has a resistance of 550 ohms and the other cheaper one has a resistance of 900 ohms. whats the difference between these and does it matter which o...

ok pulled out temp sensor and tried another yet still same problem, so can only be dodgy crank sensor or distributor and rotor arm?

hi guys im still having a weird problem with me m20 2.5l bmw 325. basically it runs perfect when cold starts first time every time and runs sweet as a nut. the problem is as soon as it heats up and the temp guage gets anywhere near the middle the engine cuts out. ive traced this down to the spark di...

haha . happy face wins all.
just before i filled my engine full of lead additive

i will drink it instead.

thats always a bonus to hear moohahaa
.

high guys i was wondering if all m20s were unleaded ready. just a question id never thought about and would like to clear up.
thanks

ye its very original for its age. plan is to stick a bmw businessman cd player back in. sort any wee bodywork probs, possably go for the mtech 1 extras and will be fitting either coilovers or a suspension kit. at the moment its already got a very nice stainless system fitted so it sounds awsome. oh ...

hah thats my bros long term project. its a full pulsar swap in it. makes just over 300 hp.

hi guys. heres my new bmw. just got it there and gave it a wee clean to see the extent of the bodywork and general condition. overall it is very clean just a few rust spots on the surface and a leaky sunroof. my covers for the wheels arrived today aswell. anyways heres the pics http://i50.photobucke...

oh im in the glasgow area. sunny scotland. i would be willing to pay for postage if need be. if anyones got one to buy i would be interested too. thanks
