That sound exactly what I'm after .. Thankyou so much guys ..

Hi guys . Just finished my m52 conversion , cars been built for country lane and track work focused , went for a shorter box and a 3:91 medium case diff .. The car goes through the gears like a motorbike which is awesome but it literally runs out of gearing at 105/110 mph , oops , slightly misjudged...

Easier said then done dan , almost blind fabbing .. Iirc pickups need to be 4mm from sump base .. Without sacrificing a e34 sump to cut a window in , that's a tough job ..

£150 quid for a new one . Have you got any kicking about Dan ?

Hi guys ? I'm
Having a bit of trouble sourcing a e34 m50 oil pickup for my m52 conversion .. Has anyone fabbed up there own to suit ? Are there any ways round my issue ? Need to get this sorted ASAP , thanks .

Hi guys , rather than make the bullet when combining the clio servo and e30 master cylinder , what's stopping you running the clio master cylinder ? Cheers guys

No replies ?

Cheers guys , got a few more updates to post up when I get some time ..

Thanks dude , I'm Gonna refresh my entire rear end and prop to eliminate any play that's amplifying the diff movement .

Cheers guys .. It's not really bad just slight play and I'm absoloutly anal about stuff like that .. If it's loose , rattles , creaks or leaks i will find it !!!

Hi guys , I recently purchased a diff on here for my car , it's a medium case 3:91 torsen LSD , it's been on about a month now and I've noticed I'm hearing a clunking noise in between throttle apllication and lift , I've had the car on a ramp to investigate , the guibo looks fine as does the joint a...

I'm a Huge fan of variant's personally .. But Ast's are equally impressive ..

In that case .. Yeah will be awesome .. Some proper Coilovers (ast's or kw's ) , some braking tweeks , a good diff and some geo work and it will be mega fun .. As always there is no substitute for seat time .. Learning how to properly drive your car on track. Seen some of the biggest spec cars crawl...

The earth wire should pass through a small hole in the boss and attach to a spade connector . Piece of cake

Hmmm ... Yeah they make awesome track cars .. But comparing them to really modern stuff especially in tbd wet is always going to be difficult .. In the dry I'd say yes , if your wallets are deep . But with all the electric assist on the newer stuff not a chance in the wet ..

Hi all . I was wondering if you guys could help me , What clutch would you guys advise for me to use with my Getrag 220.0.0225 98 gearbox . Will pe paired with a fettled m52b28 . So needs to be up to it .. Had a search but it seems not such a common box .. Any feedback or advise is as always greatfl...

Updates .... So been quite busy the last few weekends with kids and awesome Motorsport events and general awesomeness .. However , I did manage to source some bits and bobs and get Some stuff done on the old girl. So with this build the plan is to do all of the chassis , suspension , brakes etc befo...

I bought the kit second hand but never used .. Think there 35mm .

Post them up .. Yeah they are getting very hard to find . They do pop up on here from time to time .. There are loads in America ( eBay.com ) .

Love it mate ! Colour is awesome ? Is it a porsche gt3 colour ? Very similar if not .
As for the welded diff . Get it off ASAP .. Massively promotes understeer .. Ruins the car . Any more pics dude ?

So a little update guys .. Managed to get my new inserts into my refurbed struts . They turned out really good . So I'm well chuffed with that .. New and old .. The bilstein setup looks far superior . http://i.imgur.com/n14ryj6.jpg Got a set of the e30 m3 front bushes to go on aswell .. Extra castor...

Best part of £600 mate .. You might get them slightly cheaper if you look hard enough .

Hi guys , just fitted my new bilstein b8's and h&r springs .. They have settled a little but are still sitting quite high .. More noticeable on the front .. The ride quality is amazing but I'd like it a touch lower to be honest .. Do h&r offer more than one model of lowering spring , different heigh...

Anyone doing good deals on the arb kits ?

Make much difference magpie ?

The struts I got from a chap called Pete down uxbridge way , I actually think the pic I uploaded was the wrong struts .. They were basically the same condition though lol ..

Goodies have arrived â˜ºï¸aâ˜ºï¸a

Bilstein b8's and h&r spring kit , head lots of good things about these .. Can't wait to get them on .

So the refurb began . I attacked them
With an underseal grinder , designed to take the paint off but minimal amounts of metal ..

Lick of paint..

Token bilstein sticker .. â˜ºï¸a all ready for there new inserts ..

Right .. So up first on the to do list was the suspension .. The eBay Coilovers wernt really cutting the mustard on the b-road stuff . Springs felt far to soft and the car felt nervous when pressing on .. Time for somthing a bit more appropriate .. With the car being a 320 it was on 45mm struts , an...

Hi guys , well I'm new to the forum and to e30s for that matter , my background is all things fast road / track orientated , couple of my previous cars being a 205 mi16 and a mk2 golf 16v on jenvey throttle bodies .. The e30 had been on the bucket list for as long as I can remember and the itch for ...

Euro car parts

How much real world difference is there between the performance of a bilstein b8 damper in a 45mm strut and a 51 mm strut ? Massively noticeable ? , I think the m52 in 1 kg heavier so no real difference there ? Yes magpie it's a saloon , does that change matters ? Sorry I'm new to the bm's guys so i...

You guys are awesome .. So 51mm struts , bilstein b12 inserts and eibach/h&r springs , is there any difference in charecters sticks between the 2 spring brands ? I.e would either of them more suit my 24v swap for instance . Many thanks guys .. Really appreciate this

That's just the info I needed , cheers lads .. Now moving forward I'm going to need to source 2 front struts to house the inserts , I understand that these come in 2 different sizes , will my 320 take the smaller size leg ? Many thanks

Hi guys , before I start I'd like to make it cleR that I'm new to e30's so please bare with me , this forum has been great so far, very helpful and factual .. So..I bought my H- reg 320i recently with the plans to build a fast road / light use track car ( 4 or so a year ) , these plans were to swap ...
