alright guys, pretty sure my doors are on dead lock :( , i removed the engine and while i did this i had the passenger door closed and locked and the drivers door open, now the engine is out im half way through stripping the interior and i cant open my passenger door and cant lock my drivers door. W...

alright guys just wondering how much horsepower a stock 325i mtech can handle? il be drag racing my e30 next year afte my ca18det is finished being built and il be running a estimated 300whp. il be upgrading the diff etc but im wonderng will th actual axel be able to handle the power or will it just...

My door locks are seized up, not letting me open or close them, now the engines out and the battery is disconnected would this effect it? I can't see it being connected but thought il ask before I start trying to fix anything, thanks in advance

Iv got a 316i so my front struts are 45mm was confused whether having a kit for 45mm struts would effect me having rear arms off a 325 ?

and the kit just temporary hopefully il get them for cheap so il just use and and abuse and bin

Ahhh yes! You can tell I'm new to BMW's

so I can still use a 45mm kit if I have a rear disc setup? Thinking of buying a cheap hot tuning kit just to get me slammed for a few months until I get more pennies for a gaz coilover kit

Right I have a 316i and I want to do a rear disc conversion, now if I change the rear arms I'm guessing my struts have to change aswell? Since the rear end will basically be a 325 and they have 51mm struts and mine are 45mm, there isn't anyway to keep the 45mm struts is there? Quick response please ...

Wooo thanks garath

n yeah Brian that helped a lot , going to get my head down tomorrow and draw up the loom on paper how I think it should all work, I foresee a lot of head scratchin/bangin abusive language

nothing wrong with the ca18 if looked after, bung some new shells in there before you put it in and it will be fine. mate of mine ran a vauxhall viva with a ca18 and gt28 on it, seriously scary car. That's my plan :mad: t28 bb turbo off a s15 going to be mad in a car around 1000kg And correct me if...

I'm fairly certain the wiring on these is pretty complicated. And also why this engine and not the SR20? Reason is simple realy, I'm still a student so funds are limited and I got a good price for the whole running gear. Plus iv got a thing with using the lesser wanted engines, everyone runs sr20de...

8O Yo guys, doing a swap on my e30, dropping a ca18det into it (for those who dont know its a 1.8turbo out of a nissan 200sx s13) mounts are prety much sorted, but the wiring is confusing the fook out of me, now im used to hondas where everything is plug and play :P but this is a realy steep learnin...

Can't hear any whining that's why I'm assuming fuel problems, most likely the pumps gone. the cars done 113k, il check all the fuel components and give a quick look over the ignition, how ever I did find a loose cable by the intake flow meter any ideas what its for?

It's cranking, it just won't start, I'm going to check the injectors and see if there dried up to see if there even spraying, I'm thinking fuel because its got a new battery and I can hear it cranking, it just needs a kick up the backside!

That put things into perspective

plan on drifting so dont think these will cut it

What do you guys think of bilstein b4s and Faulkner springs? going for a nice 60/40 drop with stiff stiff springs

rates still not decided though

I'm thinking its fuel related, hopefully going to check all components n fuses to make sure all is good, working at midnight in -8 conditions with limited light realy does suck!

So my car has been off road for about 2weeks with no battery, put a new battery in today tried to start it, nothing. You can hear it trying to start the ignition is ticking but it just won't. Someone told me it could be the imobilizer, need your guys help, need this car up and running again

Thinking of getting some, matched with faulkner springs in the future, what you guys think? riding on standard shocks on my 316i so this would be a slight improvement

I'm thinking of buying these and putting them on bilstein b4's, should make a nice ride

Yooooo

, does anyone know if you can rebuild bilstein shocks and where at?
Much appreciated
Peace , Zen

Anyone ever used jamex shocks ? Nice n cheap wondering if there any good, worth the 180quid for a set front and rear on eBay ? Let me know about your views, probably throw some eibach springs on them

Lmao haha robo dog, my dogs in shedding season I could actually stuff my seats with his fur and still have enough to knit covers, Akitas shed way to much, well Atleast its motivated me to empty and clean the garage, nice dry place for the e30 to rest

ok i know how to upload pics, read the sticky

cant fookin find that photo manager though, anyone got any good links to it? anyway heres a rather large pic

above post is what im on about, why spend thousands on a 'drift' setup when you ahvent had a go, my road car/drifter stands me at 700 quid is far more fun than my 3k 200sx and is far more commitable as i dont mind binning it. e21 jason yup i do agree newer suspension out ways knackered old crap. al...

They look nice n cheap, don't sound to bad on YouTube

its only going to be there to sound nice until the good shit goes on later

So I'm looking at exhausts and come across sportex. Anyone got any experience with them?

I hear you, going to look around for some good 2nd hand shocks and see about the springs, what spring rates does everyone suggest ? My cars a auto 316i so iv got 100bhp n a gay box so a engine swap is on the horizon...hopefully,

I was going to get the fk kit this week, then my battery decides to die and not hold charge so I need a new battery now, that's going to set me back a good 70quid :( so now I'm aiming to get my kit by christmas, can't afford coilovers so a simple spring shock setup with a eibach arb kit and upgrade ...

Going to be a stripped out daily driver/weekend warrior and eventualy go drifting

Around 300/400 but might save longer to get coilies

Woopwoop hopefully seal the deal by Monday

looking for some suspension mods after Christmas to, any recommendations?

Just realised I missed that out! The width is 7j, car so far is stock, so not lowered yet and the rims have no tires, just a set of new rims so I can put my own rubber on

ok dudes i might be buying some team dynamics pro race 2's but im confused abit about offsets etc. iv read the sticky and kinda get the point but if im laying down my hard earned cash i want to make sure i wont be wasting my money so im still going to be the annoying newbie who asks everything thats...

I like your setup! I'm thinking of going with the fk akx kit, its a non adjustable spring/shock kit and so far has had good reviews, I should be getting a eibach arb kit aswell. Loving my e30 more and more I look at pics :D I used to drive hondas, love jap cars way to much so I'm going with a sr20de...

Cheers for that si, I'm thinking about BC racing coilovers, installed them on my mates civic and he said they were great, he paid 550 I think, if the e30 ones are around the same price I might be tempted, also heard when you lower the back to much it results in the wheels camber changing, anyone kno...

So I'm researching the best suspension setup to go drifting in. I'm on a budget as I'm still a student, you get what you pay and although I wish I could spend a grand on a nice set of coilovers, I can't afford it! So is there a good setup for a reasonable price? What other tuning parts are available...
