Hi all

Loads of things have been done to the Cab. in the past week (bushes, seals. gaskets etc.).

Also replaced the -60/40mm H&R springs with -30mm H&R springs all round and new H&R Anti-Roll Bars all round.

Thanks for the comments.

15" BBS rims will go on soon as the 'pinas are going to be sent off to Lepsons for a refurb. in time for the summer.

Cliffybabe: skirts not a priority at the moment. Next is a new CAT I alarm, blue softop and new hardtop. I will then tackle the sideskirts.

andyp: got the springs from Sal on the Zone shop. Saved on postage by collecting them :D

G: No clears, I have gone off them and smoked and all reds. OE amber jobbies for me. In fact I am taking clears off the MTECH 1 Sport and replacing them with OE amber ones.


Also what's your opinions on the different H&R springs ??
Well, I was running -60/40 H&R before this. Car rides much better, doesn't crash over bumps and no catching the Goodyears on the rear wheel arches. To be honest, she handles much better now the ARBs have been sorted out also. Much more confidence inspiring espescially cornering. Much more stable car now. That nose down ar5e up stance on the -60/40 was not the best.

See you at Easter G :D

Mahmood, that motor of your looks awsome dude, the original look is always the best look (for me that is)and with your car being pritty rare nower days its really is good to see a clean example friving around. It will still turn heads even in Kensington London. (and they all drive newer motors)

I agree with you keep the original indicators, I hve done so on my tech 1 sport.

I'm trying to find a Cabby at the mow as I will have to give the e36 328 Vert to the other half in the summer in fact I dont think she will give it me back.

G: H&R make -30mm Cab. springs. I bought them from Sal (Zone Shop). I wouldn't have gone for -35mm as I wanted more height. In fact, if I could find some -25mm H&R even better.

Thanks Simon but I'll pass on the 'scraping the car on the floor look' and the inability to use the boot for anything heavy.
