We are comparing a 20+ year old design of car to a F1 racer Yeah, but the theory is still the same!!! I'm surprised you've swapped your wheels from standard, i would've thought yours work better than after market ones....... Same with rally. On tarmac stages (normal roads) they tend to use huge all...

ali, you have THE philosophy on life!! however, we do need to keep some girls happy! after all, you cant f*ck your car!!! So what you're really saying there is....... Women.... If you couldn't f**k them, you wouldn't have anything to do with them!!! (a bloke i work with is always moaning about his ...

Not easily done mate. It's a pain mating them up to the head etc..... If you have a 318 iS then you could have a go at what tim s has tried in this thread http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=28199 There was a thread that kicked it all off but i can't find it. Basically ...

http://schoolforchampions.com/science/f ... uation.htm

Can't argue with that!!! (however much people may try!!!!)

Yeah that's about right! Because the pads are a little smaller that means you can get away with running a more servere friction compound because they heat up quicker. So you can run EBC Reds instead of Greens to get more bite but you don't have shit brakes from cold because you have the increased le...

Just playing devils advocate here.....

If you look closely the inner edge of the friction material on that disc isn't covered by the pad either!!

More than is visible in the pic i would suspect too!!!

Keri, maybe you should do some chromed calipers...... for the bling factor!!

Hahaaaa!! Glad it sounds like an M3!!!!!!

Was hoping i would do!!!

I know from my college days that the coefficient of friction is independant of surface area.......But that's about as much as i can remember...(i'm sure this has an effect on whats going on here). (Keri, i can smell the dispare!!!!!) BUT, trying to design a brake kit to improve dramatically over OEM...

But the 325 exhaust won't flow as nicely as an M3 one and could possibly reduce the power output of the 3.5.......

tommy, thanks ever so much for the micromesh, you're a gent!...... i'm really impressed by the micromesh, thats going to get me a great finish. Don't forget to use it wet, and keep wetting it as you're using it. It lasts much longer because the water stops it clogging. That little lot should keep y...

Hey tim, hows tricks?? Sorry for not sending the promised micromesh, been so bloody busy since getting back that this is the first time i've had a chance to log on!! (and get your address from the PM you sent). I've now got hold of 1800, 2400, 6000 and 12000 grit stuff so i'll have some in the post ...

That's lookin' damn good mate!!!!!!!!! I'll deffo try and get you some micromesh for your smooth finish cos the badges etc, will make it look like a BMW made one off!!!!!!!!!! Unless you could work out a way of very preciely masking off the badges once they're on there and then crinkle paint it........

Oh well. Might look him up if i end up out here again this year......

Skiing would be diffcult here. It's a nice 20-25 degC!!!! I've burned myself already!!!!! Is it still all rainy and horrible back in blighty???

I'm quite surprised by the amonut of them i've seen so far, and i've only been here 7days of a 5week stay. Suppose the heat and dryness preserves them.... (although the standard of driving makes me think there's been quite a few written off here in the past!! Everyone's a looney behind the wheel :cl...

How the plenum going tim?? Made much progress???

Managed to get on the 'net' out here (even if it's only for 1/2hour at a time, when i'm in work....

)

Well, i go in 7hours!! Didn't have a chance to get you some Micromesh Tim, but i'll have a look when i get back (although you'll probably have a plenum made by then and be telling everyone how good it is and how much quicker the car goes with TB's on it!!!!!! :D :D ). If i can get internet access wh...

Sunny Bahrain!!!! Be nice to get away from all this horrible coldness and rain for a while!! Just not too happy about being away for 5weeks on the trot. Went last year in may/june and it can get very boring towards the end........ And we're moving to Cyprus when the GP is on so we can't go and see t...

That brings a whole new meaning to the term "petrol head"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6000 is only half way!!!!

Then you go 8000 and use 12000 to finish off (well, using micromesh you do).

Tim, PM me you address and i'll post some to you (if we have any in stores). You'll have to be quick though, i'm going abroad for 5weeks on Tuesday!!! Damn last minute changes.........

tommygarethgermanese (c) :lol: LOL , have you had a fun ride today ? Oooh yeah!! Gareth has restored the sensible/stupid balance with that car. I have recently fitted cruise control to my daily driver and can now get 41mpg on the motorway........and gareth reported earlier he got 90 miles to a tankf...

I could try and get you some different grades Micromesh so you can sand back the final layer and polish it up nicely?!! (Micromesh is what we use in the aviation industry for polishing out scratches in ploycarbonate windows and canopies. As well as blending out damage on jet engine compressor blades...

Right, i'll see you saturday for a blat round the block!!!!!!!!

600cc's, a 14,000rpm redline and two wheels!!!! Did a track day this weekend with a mate at Cadwell Park on my Kawasaki ninja 600 road bike!! Cost Ãƒ”šÃ‚£60 for 6 20min sessions! Was fantastic!!!!!!!

Tim, that is looking FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! I wish i could say the same for my iS. I am still having trouble getting money together. I went to the same breakers that Gareth got his M3 bits from for his M30 conversion. I asked about some S50 TB's and the bloke wanted Ãƒ”šÃ‚£300 for them!!!!!!! :eek: :ee...

Come on man..... i can smell the

Shotgun on the first run round the block!!!!!

(although i'm sure your brothers and missus are in the que already and argueing who's gonna be first!!!!!)

If i'd have thought about it i could've brought down a centre cap from my E30.......

If you haven't found any in a couple of weeks time let me know and i'll bring one down then!!

Just bought the mag today.
