E30 M50'd Tourer

[ImysE30]

I work at Cardinal Square opposite. Was on my break. I thought you did a 3 point turn in the tunnel.

[GemE30]

No

I come round and somehow ended up spinning round. Shook me up as I wasn't expecting it and I wasn't going fast

What car was you in? I used to work at Cardinal Square.

[MurphyE30]

Borbets are sold and I'm now buying John's, but they will be getting a respray or may just leave them white.

Not sure what to do, but it'll either be Black or white.

ill look forward to pics once you have decided , ive just got some borbets sorted and im stuck on which way to go Black? or White?

[GemE30]

We're keeping mine white now.. after feedback on another site they look better on mine white.

[MurphyE30]

yeah i like the white on your too from looking at that pic

mine are borbet t's, dont know if they will look as good in white

[Duke137]

Leave them with a shiney lip mate black hides them, white ruins them

[GemE30]

Are they the ones with the smaller dish? I was looking at avzev (?) K's on Retro rides, they'd suit an E30 I think

I was thinking of going all black to be honest, not too sure on the polished lip

9x16 all round

the azev k's are nice aswell

[GemE30]

I'd love 9x16's all round but gonna save for something better I think

[ImysE30]

Too much power The tunnel's great for that 6 pot noise

Was on foot.

[GemE30]

When a car's running right yeah Mine has a weird vibration atm and it's doing my nut in.

Manifold valley is awesome for tunnel fun

[GemE30]

Eventually the wheels will all be one colour and powder coated and a splitter will be on soon.

[rancido64]

Awesome

[GemE30]

I'm so glad I went for them, its loads better

[MurphyE30]

what susspension set up are you running hieght wise? any issues with fitting the 9js at the front?

Looks awsome btw

[GemE30]

Thanks!

From what I know, they are coupe springs and it's 60mm. The front's have 5mm spacers otherwise they went straight on

Now to talk fella into putting 195's on the rear wheels too

[bridgemond]

Looks great

Might be a tyre size issue then dude?

[GemE30]

Cheers BM.

What's up with Murph's?

[Duke137]

His car is too low for 16x9 at the fronts on 5mm spacers like yours. Only difference is the tyres are 215/40

Don't think he wants to risk knackering his arches though

[GemE30]

Mine rears are 205 45s and fronts 195 45's. Might be worth trying those sizes?

[GemE30]

Few pics from Manifold Valley yesterday.













Got lows?

With a mate's merc

[Forsman]

Wow. Awesome shooting! ;)
A bit lower in the front, and the splitter on. Then it's enough.

[The_Haywood]

gem get a smaller SS sticker... it ruins the car IMO

i used to love stickers (as you probs saw gem by my old accord lol) but only stickers that will adorn my touring will be small zone stickers and my "moredoorwhores" sticker i designed

[jonnyboy]

i seen this on the a38 coming into derby sometime ago looks fat.

Cheers, It will be going lower, I'm just waiting for my partner to change my sump and fit a proper sump guard then it's going down.. the splitter will be on tomorrow hopefully.

Chris, don't worry, it's coming off after Fast Show, we don't like it as much now, just sticking with 3 baby sparkly ones.

Cheers, what are you usually in? Will give you a flash next time.. Hopefully you'll see the side that doesn't have a steelie

[GemE30]

Pressed plates


Bought a new camera couple weeks ago, and been playing around..



I LOVE this shot <3




& she got her eyebrows back yesterday

[MurphyE30]

Some nice shots there looking good!

[GemE30]

Cheers, Few more, playing around with reflections

[aj_mckay]

[rancido64]

stop posting pics, you're making me jealous

[GemE30]

Sorry

I'm not 100% happy with her atm, she's losing her paint on the arches so needs some work doing.

[GemE30]

Few new arty pics with the new eyebrows & her current look, due to problems with my rear 9's.

[GemE30]

Well she's fully borbeted up again, unfortunately on 7.5j and 9js as my rear ones haven't been fixed yet.

I got a crack free dash board for her yesterday and she's had a couple of new niggly bits inside, handbrake / gear leather cover thing, mine had a habit of getting thrown in the boot everytime it p*ssed me off me off.

She's still running crap, I have to warm her up for 5/10 mins before I can drive her so hopefully after we come back from Devon, she'll be getting sorted once and for all

[Forsman]

Tell us what the problem was if you manage to fix it!

Looks super hard! Must get some pics of my 325 tourer up on here soon.

What happened to the left fog-light though?
