Is my car sitting a bit high?

[318isPMK]

I'm noticing it at the rear a bit?

[boxclever1753]

have you taken your spare out?

[BEERBOY123]

Surely better than the collapsed bushes 'look'?

(You need an Tech 1 rear spoiler on that.)

[318isPMK]

nope theres a bit ugly black alloy in there.

I think it had 17's on it and I think my MIM's are 15's

I dont want it silly low at all. just looks a little hight to my inexperienced eye.

I need to see a pic of the tech 1 in red first.

[Rtaylor2208]

It does look a little high at the back. What size are the tyres though? It should be 205x55x15 so if running something like a 195x50x15 that's probably why they look a little bit lost.

Is it running again?

[harry_p]

Does look high in that pic, maybe it's parked on an odd slope. Looks fine in your sig pig.

[318isPMK]

205/50/15 is on them

I think its the road right enough looks less noticeable on other pics

[asmith88]

looks like its sitting fine to me, in fact it actually looks like it is slightly lower at the front than standard

Get some 55's on there to fill those arches a bit more come new tyre time, looks like its sitting fine to me

Wrong size tyres!

To small.

[TPS]

Shouldn't they be 205/55 VR15?

[bss325i]

Shouldn't they be 205/55 VR15?

Correct!

[320iAN]

it's fitted with -35mm springs, proper short stroke shocks & i fitted it with "50" series tyres as folk say "55" series tyres fitted to MiM alloys can rub on the rear arches due to there ET/off set ;)

springs and rear shocks: 3K miles before i sold it
front shocks/inserts: 1500 miles before i sold i

hope this helps.

[320iAN]

it's sitting on a slight hill in your pic's Paul..better pic's





and a wee pic of the front shocks/inserts before i fitted them

It doesn't have to be painted red though. It can be all black as it's only a small upper panel that is normally painted

[mwggriffiths]

That, sir, is stunning. Any more details? Build thread? You can't just leave me with just those pictures!

[toby]

Erm.. no... can't remember

Erm... it has wheels made by a company called image... Can't remember if it was a zoner's car. Pictures are 5 years old at least.

I've got over 500 pictures of E30s... sad init?

[318isPMK]

Mine is going Black in the next few weeks or so and I'll be looking into black tech 1 me thinks I like that.

Was going to fit that german badge too but undecided as yet

Thanks for those pics its almost exactly what I'm aiming at.

Cheers for the info Ian!

I seen it in the flesh tonight for the first time in weeks and its true that was just a wonky slope its sitting nice.

Think my tracking is a bit off.

Had the car up the new M74 i'm in love all over again!

[toby]

Good, I thought those pics were a bit of you!

[318isPMK]

A bit of me? eh?

[tonybtonyb]

Looks ok fella

[318isPMK]

whats the ideal Tyre pressure on 205 55 15 continental Premium contact2?

How hopeless am I lol I'll need to contact a zoner when it needs oil to see where I put it in

Look on the B post, below the drivers door latch. It has a list of tyre pressures for the various sizes of tyres that are standard fit to the E30. It'll tell you there, I can't remember off the top of my head though

Have you not heard that expression?
'A bit of you' = you'd like it, it suits you (your car)

[matt86]

Can I just say 318isPNK and toby, both those 318is are gorgeous, secondly that looks a spot on ride height to me, just watch the sump and front splitter on kerbs and bumps.lol

I really like those cars, have decided I may have to get one after my convertible or as well as if funds allow.

[318isPMK]

Cool i thought it was specific to the tyre

Nope thats a new one on me.

thanks though
