[320iAN]

[shedrool83]

Wee up-date
Removed the center vents and fitted the old gauges from the cab.
Still to wire the senders.





Also the 60/40 suspension kit from hottuning arrived yesterday and will be fitted once i get a few other bits to go with it.

[shedrool83]

Another update

Suspensions fitted (cheers gcs325) and it now has 9j borbet a's on the rear.

Bit dark will get better pics tomorrow.

[BigBavarian]

Looks good ith the tech 1 rather than tech 2, think thats what i will do when i get a kit to fit, prefer tech 1 spoilers to the tech 2

[shedrool83]

I'm also going for tech one side skirts rather than the door pods.

[gcs325i]

looks class with the nines mate.

[jbh]

looking good Jake must admit the staggered wheels are sweet just wish i could get hartge wheels like that

[shedrool83]

Cheers guys

[323iNathan]

Looks sweet, love your progress.

If you go Tech I skirts, would you try and find the SA 333i type? I think that would probably match the Tech II kit a bit better, but either would still look good no doubt.

Are they the ones that are straight at the end, they don't come up the arch? I always thought they looked well, but I'd say they're very hard to come by.

The car is looking great by the way. I really like the 9" borbets. Keep up the good work.

Correct and correct, hard to find.

[BigBavarian]

Have you painted you tech 1 spoiler? The rubber looks very smooth.

[shedrool83]

Yeah,the rubber was passed it best so gave it a prime and a couple coats of satin black.

[BigBavarian]

It looks good have you get any pics of it?

I'll get a better pic tomorrow for you.

[gcs325i]

So do you have a spare set of A's? Where abouts did you get the gauges?

[shedrool83]

Have a set of 7.5's gauges were all bought from ebay mate.

[Dan320is]

Any new daylight pics of your car with the new suspension drop?

[shedrool83]

About the best one i have Dan but before the 9's went on

[shedrool83]

HTH Dan

[shedrool83]

[BigBavarian]

The drop looks nice with the borbets, will you go for 9's on the front aswell?
The spoiler looks well nice mate just like new, the rubber on mine is ok but if it gets worse then may have to get it painted. As long as no one squeezes it and cracks the paint

[BadDave]

Them 9's are lookin good Jake

[ImysE30]

Thats one very nice looking car

[shedrool83]

Them 9's are lookin good Jake

They do look the dogs Dave but unfortunately i wont be keeping them.Bought them off ebay advertised as a set of 9's and they turned up as a staggered set so they are going back.One also has a flat spot that i noticed tonight.(Man i hate ebay)

[cliffybabe]

dude 9s on the rear do look wicked, ive just bought a set of 9J borbets off ebay i cant wait to get the staggard setup

Noticed the for sale thread Jake

It's disheartning when omething like that happens
Had something similar happen with a PI data logger, it WAS supposed to connect to the laptop but the unit was faulty.
Got my money back tho and put it towards a Race Technology Dash2 and DL1 data logger which has more features than the PI system had

Have you put in the claim for a refund yet?
Hope it get's sorted reasonably quickly

Not claimed a refund yet mate but have spoke to the seller who said they will refund if i send them back.Just thought i'd see if anyone on here wanted them as i will have to post them anyway.If they are returned to the seller i will but in a claim.

[cliffybabe]

dude im gutted for ya, How did it do running 9J's on the rear??

[shedrool83]

Only drive it a mile or so with them on.there was rubbing issue and if i was keeping them the arches would have needed rolled also the ride wasnt as good but not much of a difference.

[shedrool83]

Totally gutted this morning taking the 9's off and putting the 7.5's back on.
Dont know what to do now,i loved the look with the 9's on the rear.

So this is my dilemma.

1 - When i bought the ones from ebay they had flat caps which i was going to buy anyway(£95)

2 - When i send them back it will cost me another £40 to courier them(doubt i'll get that back)

3 - I'll probably buy another pair of 9's (missing them already)

So do i keep them sell the two 7.5's and get the damaged 9 repaired (if required) or send them back and fight for the postage costs and look out for another pair of 9's?

The set only cost £340 delivered so they were cheap and when you take off the price of flat caps the wheels owe me £245

What would you do?


Gave the 7.5' a good polish before they when back on and they are probably looking the best they ever have but just doesnt look as good now

[cliffybabe]

i think the staggard option on a E30 is alot better in the long run as 9J's all round can cause issue's toherwise id being mounting up my set of borbet b 9J all round but id rather have a better quality ride etc and less issues further up the line

£340 delivered is cheap however can ur 9j s be fixed??? U need to find that bit out first

The centre caps may come with another set of 9Js so do bear that in mind too

[cliffybabe]

also to add to ur confusion i have just seen a set of flat centres for 75including del

[shedrool83]

Cheers cliffy my heads spinning as it is

[cliffybabe]

i like to think u have a informed view theres also this thread u could look at
