Re: M52 or S50

s50 gets my vote but i think its a little more complicated. (expensive) but it sound awesome and flys.
if moneys no issue m52 plus turbo will be alot of fun.

Re: ARB near exhaust manifold/wishbones

mine touched whilst jacked up but when on the ground left me with a 1cm gap, didnt feel comfortable with it so i ended up using spacers on the arb mounts, now i have 3cm.
but some people dont have problems i did.

Re: SUSPENSION SET UP

SUSPENSION SET UP

can someone recommend a good setup for suspension. its a m3 with s50b32 6 speed.
front looks a little low and i can feel every thing on the road.
i want a stock height or maybe a little drop. (roads are shit)
improved handling is a must.

Re: wont start

i see your point, i need to buy a pressure tester. i have a new walbro 255 in tank, i was under the presumption it would be more than adequate. do you know of a way to test the pressure without buying a tester?

Re: wont start
