Midlands meet come on guys???? Update 18/02/09

[Ritz]

That is a nice looking touring.

I like tourers/estates anyway, my other car is an estate.

Very useful tools.

True mate, I've been to the skips for my old man a few times. I like the space (but didn't like the unpredictable sideways handling in the snow today heheh)

[blackcountrybimmerman]

In these conditions everything on wheels is unpredictable...

My FWD was a little bit unruly to say the least.

[ImysE30]

Any updates?

[blackcountrybimmerman]

I'm waiting to hear too, but with how the weather has been I'd assume he'll wait until the weekend. I'm sure he'll update us as soon as he's been to see the chap at the pub....

[ImysE30]

No rush, just wondering that's all

[Rav335uk]

Imy, seen my e21 in the pics section???Finally got round to putting them on there.

[ImysE30]

Yeah i've seen them. Interesting project. Looks a bit battered at the moment but with some inspiration (and money ) i reckon it will look very nice. Plus with that 'Big 6' in the front, it's gonna fly . Did you not think of doing a different engine conversion M50/M52?

[The_Diddler]

Bit of an update, still havent met the manager yet, i always seem to miss them, any way am told the manager will be available tomorrow, so i'll try again then

Fair play mucka...

[ImysE30]

Hope they'll be in this time, thanks for trying to sort it

No mate, M30 all the way for me

I don't blame ya, going to be rapid. You already got the engine?

[Rav335uk]

Yea, already have engine, box loom ecu and engine mounts similar to the alpina ones made for the M30 b6.

[ImysE30]

You've got 2 and i aint even got 1 yet . Will it be quicker than the cab?

[Rav335uk]

Should be, i was on the e21 forum earlier and one of the guys has a m20b25 conversion and hits 60 in around 6.5secs, so this should be a monster with the right gearing.Loads of investigating to do to find out whats needed.

[ImysE30]

POWAAAHHH Looks and power, what more can a guy want

Spoke to a guy today regarding my M30, he said he knows somone who can do it £600 fully fitted included all the parts. Too cheap?

[Rav335uk]

What parts????

[ImysE30]

Engine, loom, afm, box etc. Basically everything needed for the conversion

[Rav335uk]

F*CK ME that's cheap, is that start to finish.If it is and he knows what he's doing bite his hand off.Don't forget the diff too and bushes.

[ImysE30]

I'm assuming start to finish. Went round to see inital_g's track car and he was telling me. I think it's MJG on here (the guy with the banged out track car). Gonna try contacting him and see what he says. What diff have you got? Powerflex bushes?

[Rav335uk]

Diff is a 3.46, best suited as its close to the e34 diff ratio and will work good with the e34 g/box, and I polyflexed all my bushes, whole set front and rear will knock you back about £250.00

[ImysE30]

That's cool Rav. I've got about a grand to spend so hopefully will be able to do everything within budget. I want more powaahh

[Rav335uk]

Try BBB on here for your diff, it cost me £100 delivered.
Power is what your gonna get!!!!!!
You'll love it, brilliant for overtaking and trafficlight take offs, oh and make sure you get a strutbrace too, you'll need it to stop it flexing!

[ImysE30]

I'll try them when i know for certain he can do it.
That's what i like to hear
I can't wait, b20 putting me down
Which strutbrace do you recommend?

[Rav335uk]

Can't say, but the one I have is adjustable in the middle so you can pust the top of the struts out further if you want.Will put some pics up tomorrow for you in the pics section.

[ImysE30]
