Yeah man Def the best city in Australia. Got caught on the trams and didnt pay the fine so no doubt that will be a nice present waiting for me at the airport lol. Got right into the free pub poker nights, and the AFL. Where abouts in Melbourne are you?
some updates for today:
after 3 bad days i finsihed the front susspension, one of the cross memeber bolts snaped inside the chassis rail. took me 4 hours to get it out
anyway i cleaned and painted, fitted the control arm bushes, rebuild and painted the calipers, changed sway bar bushes and links.
here is a few pics, hope u guys like the gold

It will physically fit but you will have to f*ck about to get the plug coil wiring through and possibly the breather hoses.
Easiest way is to drop your M50 cover at your local powder coaters and have it blasted, dipped and coated

You should consider getting an american M3 valve cover sent over.. Yes it would make you a tart but it'd say MPower... LOL Bling.
Keep up the updates dude.

Using a standard bore master cylinder, the servo assistance will be reduced exactly in proportion to the reduction in area of the servo.Yaninnya wrote:Cheers for that info, I still consider what configuration will be the best.DanThe wrote:Exactly the same as standard, benjy has this setup also and he said its better than standard!

). And as I'm going to use E32 750i master cylinder with bigger (25.4 mm) diameter of pistons it will be even more reduced. But I don't want to use hydraulic servo by all means (more weight, more complicated, more potential weak points).
