Re: e30 lower arm rear bush for track use best option?
I already have the Powerflex kit ;) To be fair we get a mssive discount on Poweflex, I hear what you are saying we are reluctant to fit certain bushes on the vag cars due to quality issues. Ill get them installed and see how it fairs up, seen as we have them. Can change / evolve as we go along. The ...

Re: e30 lower arm rear bush for track use best option?
Cheers for the feed back guys, I was looking at e30 m3 bushes. Ill see how it feels on the power flex, we want to do some hill climbs, maybe tarmac rallys in it as well as it being road legal.
Cool pic in your Sig GB69!

Going to use powerflex, front and rear see how they fair up. The tree house racing ones do indeed look a bit stiff.

Re:
Thats it then, a decoy had come up so was just a thought. 344hp sounds better to start with any way ;)

S54 vs S50 3.2
So with most of the parts for my little E30 project purchased / on order I'm down to sourcing an engine etc. I can see the s54 is clearly 24hp more that the s50 3.2 which is a nice start, but the conversion is quite costly. Is it worth the extra effort or for a substantially smaller figire is the s5...

Re: s14 Omex upgrade
Omex is very good, Ive used it on a number of cars, the 600 series. The guys at Omex are very friendly and very very helpful.
I believe they use mech repairs at Gloucester for their mapping and their tunes are top notch. SO I suppose it depends where your based, emerald is more southern I believe?

Re: Which engine?!! S50, S54, M50/52 with Turbo etc etc etc
Blimey, it probably was harder to make a complete hash of that manifold and design than it would of been to sort it out properly! Its why I'm dubious over forums and recommendations, so many sharks out there. I'm glad I can hold my head high in the knowledge that I run my business to a high standard...

Plenty out there that talk the talk!
We'll get some pics up of the E30 as it progresses, looks like the s54 is the best base to start. Good point re turbo 2.5 machines, there will be some pretty impressive motors!

Ok, looking for opinions on what engine for an E30 Conversion. First BMW Ive modded / converted so after a bit of guidance and opinion. Was originally set on a s54 conversion, liked the idea that it would be fast and take loads of stick. How ever it seems the 340ish hp they give will be quick, but n...
