E30 Cabrio S38B38

[Alpina]

Is that and Olds Cruiser in the background?



I can remmber riding around with my Dad in ours. Learned how to drive in a beast like that.

Nice vert only wish mine could look so nice. Not digging the gold wheels but hey to each their own. I would ask how the ride comfort is with 17's but from most pics I have seen of Icelandic roads they are smooth like the roads in Germany.

No this is a BUICK CENTURY

Bump to an old thread,,

pictures,,,,,


ok here is the difference between oem intake with MAF sensor and stainless steel 316 tube,, the outlet diameter of oem is 90 mm but the pipe is 88.9,, the inlet is similair



as you can see the outer ring that connects the inntake airbox is just a lttle bit bigger vs the size that connects the rubber tube 95mm vs 90



and here is a cheap solution ,, boght also an aluminium ring 2 pieces in 95 mm and cut them 16mm wide,, and then cut the one in half glued it on the stainless pipe,, and measured the other part and take 2 :hihi:




You may also made these 2 fellas to get the box tightened to the airbox,,

I did not made these strut by myself,, a fellow on our Icelandic bmwforum made this

but IMO one of the most surpricingly MUST modd ever on a cabrio .. even on 2 door also

total weight is maby MAX 6 kg for both

jebb,,
they were found,, but can not be sure if they are all there,, but the car is flying,, and i am pleased

as said the car is 1440 kg dryweight and i get 13.28 @ 107 17" 245/35 with 36 psi in tires

i think the car is similair to EURO Z3 M/// roadster in performance

Looking good. Are those X-braces only necessary for cabs?

[ben312]

have you done any rear subframe reinforcements? any plans on that?
