Saying no to a double exhaust



???????????????????????

Large acohol = speak b*****s

Sorry

What I meant was: I love Q cars, basically it looks stock but god help you if you take it on!!

Therefore I think you should not badge it at all (imo)

Double exhaust (one back box either side) will give the game away (imo)

It's just a thing I have.

On a different note, many years ago a mate of mine dropped a V8 into a Firenza - first time he took it out and floored it the back axle wound up and ripped the trailing link brackets out from the shell - is that gonna be an issue? Or is the rear setup man enough for the job?

BTW SEW now has 1800m of fresh black.

Thought youd gone a bit

Where is this??

[spoon320]

Oakdale, Wales

About 3 miles from glenn (i think)

It's not continuous yet (another 2K to go) but I recon the new Penmaen roundabout will provide oooooooodles of fun

And not a speed camera in sight!

[E30cabalan]

Glenn thanks again for the wheels....
A post is in order as I was lucky enough to see Glenns E39 M5 in his E30.
It fits and looks like it should be in there too.
Its truely bloody amasing to see, you just do not expect it under the bonnet.
Well done mate a real inspiration to those of us worrying over 325 transplants.

that's ok mate,
wasn't sure if you were having a dig or smoking something exotic

agreed on both accounts

i just spent the last hour reading through this thread, where i am its 6.08 in the morning, just would like to say this is a great project! its not everyday you get to read about a m5 in a e30! would love to do something like that someday, well maybe start with a smaller engine. anyway i will be following this thread religiously, keep the good work up!

[Chaos]

[Skar]

nice video clip, the true sound of a monster

[glenn]

got the bbs wheels today ( thanks mark @ bmautosport)
they 're 8x17 et20 offset with 215/40 on the front
and 235/40 on the rear.
it needs a fair drop at the front.
i'll have to see how it settles first as it's been up on blocks for a while.
what do you think?

[E30BeemerLad]

I reckon dropped down a fair old bit, may need some arch rolling perhaps? but it will then look a right proper euro slaaag

[320Touring]

mint

needs 60/40 drop, but mint

[glenn]

just put the brake calipers on.
not much room to spare,
couldn't have gone smaller than 17's!
anyone spot my mistake?
ps, no one can accuse me of not putting enough pics up

[320Touring]

directional tyres on the wrong way round???

that'd be fun with the m5 engine

[glenn]

guilty!!!!!!!

[320Touring]

OOOH! whats my prize?????

a wee passenger seat ride would be sweet

[dazleeds]

glenn you are a true legend fella

[glenn]

OOOH! whats my prize?????

a wee passenger seat ride would be sweet

no problem neil,
but make sure you bring spare trousers

[e30_Turbo]

I've done that too Glenn, only noticed when I took them off they had directional arrows

[320Touring]

plastic pants is the answer mate




how difficult is it to get to your part of the world?

[Andy335Touring]

Sweet rims !

[jmc330i]

Youve probably said before, but what brakes/calipers are they?

Get them cleaned up and they will look especially with those wheels

james,
they're the complete front legs, discs and calipers off an e36 m3.
i agree with you about cleaning them james, but i'm b*ll*xed this afternoon,
but it's on my long list of 'must remember to do that' jobs

[Dominitry]

those wheels look mint glenn! i want

[jmc330i]

but it's on my long list of 'must remember to do that' jobs

Ive got a list like that - its massive

Those discs 315mm then? I nearly got hold of a set of E36 M3 stuff, but TBH, Im glad I didnt - I dont want to run 17s and I dont think those discs and calipers will fit behind 16s

[bmautosport]

Looking good glenn,glad you are happy with them they are quality rims.As i said before you may need to go down a profile on the rear but you can have some fun getting used to it with those tyres before you pay the money for a pair of pirellis!I think that the E36 front set up must sit the wheels out slighty more then the E30 m3 set up on an E30 ,but looks like you will be fine and when car is lowered will sit in more and always the options of streching some 205's on the front!Keep up the good work mate!!

i'll measure them tomorrow james, but i dont think there's half an inch between the caliper and the wheel.
