Quotewodcutr Holy smokes I found this new forum. I have been having withdrawl symptoms since the old site was routed to that russian website. I was looking at other forums, but nothing was really like the benn. E30tech was the closest, but they use too many texting terms that I am unfamiliar with. R3V is way out there and posters use way to many f words. Anyway, I am glad that you guys took t

since i have felt like i've indirectly been taking some flack for having bigger brakes on my car, i would like to reiterate the fact that, when doing the e36 5-lug conversion, one must use the brakes from the e36 m3. Since they are already on the car, I might as well keep them. I don't think there is much arguing that they are superior to other e36 brakes regardless of the weight of t

QuoteArcheo-peteriX I wonder if we need to revisit that old tire 'patch area' thing again? Or is this just about the macho look factor of the tires? yes fatter tires look cooler. why do they make tires of different width if the width doesnt make a difference?

QuoteArcheo-peteriX QuoteCab Treadway Quotedaniel .... I've never felt any problem with the E30 brakes, and while yes, there's a lot more power from the S52, the car doesn't really weigh all that much more, so I would be willing to give the stock brakes a chance before deciding they need to be upgraded. I've never understood the contrary logic used to justify bigger brake

ha! i just did a search for 245/40-16 tires and they don't appear to exist. Oh well, I have quite some time before I need new tires anyway.

QuoteMichiel 318iS Why did you go for Z-rated tyres? You don't need those and could mean a real difference in the price. The MOMO's weren't bad for aftermarket wheels but these look SO much better. I have Z-rated tires (technically W, but it falls into the Z category) because over a year ago I bought 4 wheels with those four tires. To save myself some money, I put the tires o

QuoteCab Treadway Nice. A definite improvement over the old wheels! Wheel selection is why, when/if I get around to my own S52 conversion, I intend to keep the 4-lug E30 setup. I love my Ronal LS wheels, and have no desire for any wheel larger than 15". Plus, I already have the steelies with Blizzaks for ice racing. I'm glad you are enjoying your new car, even if it does say &q

QuoteArcheo-peteriX Quotedaniel you could either do that or find an M20B25 for pretty cheap. or theres always the M50... You missed the whole point of the post...his brother has the M20B25 and he needsa to know if the M20B27 will swap in without too much trouble. The M20B27 is available and sitting in Evan's garage(or wherever) and it will cost nothing. The M50/52 swap will involve money

QuoteArcheo-peteriX Nice stance and good looking wheels but you gotta do something with the paint man! yes the paint is terrible. the car was keyed by someone and actually says FUCK ME in the RR quarter panel. Photographs really bring out the terrible paint. it doesnt look as bad in person. It is worst on the hood and the roof (the spoiler is bad too). I could easily/cheaply paint the hood

Hello everyone. I am back safely from Venezuela and sometime in the next week (once I have all of my photos hosted online) I will make a nice post about my trip with my favorite pictures. Until then, I have some other news. As some of you may remember, I have an e36 5-lug setup on my e30. After doing a lot of wheel searching, I got a bit disappointed because I really wanted 16 inch wheels, no

QuoteBob P 325is 88 Switching to a 15W40 oil from a 5W40 because 'the engine is older and needs thicker oil' is nonsense. Both oils, especially if they are synthetic, act as a 40 oil when at normal engine temperatures. The 15W oil is thicker at cold start temperatures and actually offers less engine protection due to its lower flowing capabilities at those temperatures. Stick with

i think another reason the thread was locked is in general the moderators are conservative right wingers, and they started to see that you were making great, coherent arguments that were generally against their beliefs. and by the way, i can assure you that if you start any kind of political discussion here, I will not use my moderating powers to hinder the progress of the thread as long as no
