FCUK me..

...How'd you manage to boil that stuff.....wat track were you on?

Alright m8 As said knockhill is VERY hard on brakes, at the very least change your fluid, to summin like ATE Super blue, it's not the most expensive but i found it well up to the task wen i had it in the tourer, and its the only fluid that i ever use. Its a good little circuit to really learn your a...

I run 8x17 comp MO's on the tourer,wi 224x45-17 on the back and 215x45-17 on the front,all wi R888 tyres,just right in my opinion for my set up

As above,anyone removed the vanos on the m3 evo motor,my engines out due to a spun bearing on no6 journal,for attempted repair...Want to take the head off and check the pistons and rods..Dont wanna just bash in and completley balls it up

Any info would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Guys S50/B32 engine>....... Due to a knocking from the bottom end a full rebuild will shortly begin,a set of Arrow rods have been purchased along wi a set o Shrick cams...,now a set of high comp forged pistons are on the wishlist....i,ve found they're a bit hard to come by...any info on suppliers wo...

So got to get a new one.

WAT A FANNY!!!!!!!!!!

If you take yer time and use a heat gun to soften the paint then its possible to do it without crackin it,but am in no doubt watsoever that i'm gonna crack it....i'll keep you posted!

Wasn't too bad,delivered for £280 odds.......A dont see why a couldn't hire it out...Should be here by tuesday

A hope!

Just ordered an arch pullin machine,so i'll see wat happens wen it gets here,a did think bout the cossie kit as well,the 2002 kit looks alright!

wat was the spring rates on these bad boys dave

fuzzy wrote:couldnt you buy bigger replacement metal arches for a different car and weld them on to the e30 for the desired effect? what cars have big arches you can think off?

Mk1 escort buble arches,modded to fit and trimmed back!!!!!lol

Sparco single tube steel, the cheapest and best. It's listed as an M3 part, but will fit all E30s (apart from the iX). If the S52 motor isn't significantly taller than an M20 it will fit fine. who sells the steel sparco item? demontweeks? :D Aye they do m8,the M3 steel one sells for £52.81 suppose ...

Like the back arches on the top one!

Wat happened to the orange one m8,pretty sure a saw it in Dundee agaes ago,i was in mine and you passed on the other side o the road..

Welcome to the forum m8,good bunch on here and a wealth o knowlege!!!

A know wat yer sayin m8,i've started on the fronts,and a quite like wat am seein so far,took the lip right out,obviously need to tidy it up a lot,but i'll get there

Alritee guys

Does anyone know of an arch kit i can put on the tourer,nothin vulgar or fckn max power,just a wee extension,cause am sick o the tyres sometimes catchin on the back arches.....somethin similar to the ix kit would be nice

cheers

Tam

In ma old tourer,headin out the road,wet one night,shitty tyres on the back,lost the back eng,does a 180,and ends up damagin an electricalbloody substation,knock out a whole village for a day!!!!!! very lucky the car was still drivable...just...and made good my escape!!!! it gets knocked out regular...

Looks good what gains do u see with it?? I say its a good copy of a alpina maybe its as good as the evolve sell any dyno to show priven figures etc?? nice and shiny too Its nothing like an alpina manifold and is a copy of a BTB2. It,s exactly what it say,s it is at the top of the page. nothing more...

That is one sexy lookin manifold!!

Well its meant to be...but we all know wat the m3 engines are like for power. I had the same set up as yours in my 4x4 saff,and to be honest ,there's not much between them. Think mine might leave yours a bit,but once on boost yours would catch up,wen they're goin right the cossie motor is awsome.......

A did wonder bout the rear ones

Alright guys

am lookin for a quality strut brace..its to fit a tourer wi anS50b32 motor....any suggestions would be tops...

and is there any real advantages in fitting one to the rear

cheers
Tam

I'll look forward to it fuzzy,wats still needin done to her,

Hopefully my future mods will make me keep up wi you...
