Re: Suspension or coilovers i need new ones asap HELP NEEDED

B8s are great but bc coilovers are a step up in my opinion. Gaz are good but need rebuilding frequently if used on the road. Anyone who tells you to go for a shock and spring kit over bc's has never driven a car on them. I've had them in a few different e30's and had b8's and they are awesome, but ...

Re: Noisy fuel pump.

'Uprated' in fuel pump terms, usually means higher flow/pressure, which has absolutely no beneficial effect with any standard engine, and just puts higher demands on the fuel pressure regulator. With a few well documented exceptions (E46 rear top mounts, M3 control arm bushes, etc.), There isn't mu...

Bmw 320i 1987 standard set up new fuel filter fitted 3 months ago. My fuel pump has just died on me. Did you replace with a standard fuel pump or would it be a nice idea to fit a upgrade pump or not really worth it ?? If things break in my cars i usually replace with uprated parts depending on what ...

Re: Suspension or coilovers i need new ones asap HELP NEEDED

Save up for AST's it will be the best mod you have ever done believe me! I know they aren't cheap but they are brilliant value for money. If they had KW or Bilstein stamped on them they would be over £5000 the AST's are worth every penny!!! Had a look at those they looks really well built but gona ...
