I know mate but it's a road car. I know of a 3lt track car that gets its head kicked in and is fine on a standard sach's clutch. That will do me.

Ha ha.
Be nice Steve. I love my baby. I just hate the clutch. It's a touch hard on the front too. Think I will have some fettling over the next few months.

The fine tuning will keep you busy & skint over the next few months mate. It's all about preference isn't it.
I may swap out my B6's as I enter more of the comfort zone. The toyos have made a lovely improvement and the eibachs arrived today. Your car looks hawwt.
What I've learned is what looks nice on a spec list don't necessarily make a nice road car.

I totally agree.
I am over the rock hard ride already. B8s handle great but are a bit hard for me. I will have to research some shortened shocks with more comfort than the B8's?
The paddle clutch is sold and the replacement ordered so another fun job to keep me busy.

Exactly that Steve.
Donk doesn't need to come out. It's not straight forward by any means. I have a plan.
I knew what you meant Steve. I had been thinking he same for ages. Just thought I would try it. Bad move. It's actually ok when your driving it hard.
Anyway whats a couple of hours graft now.

My S50 had a tricky clutch in it when i got it but i decided to go for a new standard sachs item when i bolted it all back together, i figured that the standard clutch was designed with pulling around a bloaty e36 in mind so should be perfectly capable of coping with a few enthusiastic starts in an e30

I think it's a bit of a camera tick and the M3 bushes pushing the wheel forward. I hope anyway.

B8's are a perfect balance, ive used standard dampers (boge or B4's cant remember) on the front with my old M50 and they are not up to hard driving with a 6 pot IMO
Clutches are the bain of my life at the moment also

Toyo`s would be my first choice but the car came with a full set of brand new falkens, they remind me of lego tyres.
it will have toyo`s
