Done part of my 5 stud conversion over the w/end however unwittingly i forgot that m3 have a wider track... so when you use standard e30 steering arms you end up with some interesting toe out! :lol: and the interesting handling characteristics that entails on its own..

Plus it has developed the interesting trait of being able to powerslide 360 round a roundabout in the dry with a 316i auto :eek: 8O :twisted: (the expression on the mx-5 drivers face was priceless)..

Plus i've finally been able to fully appreciate my grandad's saying of the 5P's - Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance with some of the things that have cropped up! :lol:
