Finally had the rubber fitted onto the BBS :)


Touring going in for engineers/rego next week so not long until it's legitimately on the road and I can start playing with it more.

The new sump and gasket finally arrived. Installed and then decided to raise the coupe up a bit to make it a bit more daily friendly, also put the OEM 14" bbs back on.



How the skidplate looks after about 12 months or so:

Just a few shots with my K24 civic Track car :) Also, new sump for the 318is came in today, just waiting on the new gasket to come in now.

Sell me your borbets you wheel whore!

Thanks guys :) Thought i'd sort of make this like a build thread for the wagon and the coupe because they are both going to be going through some changes. Nothing major, just want to keep them clean etc

Plus I might be able to get some help off some of the members here if I need it (which I most likely will)

So here are some photo's of the coupe from the last meet that happened over the weekend:






And this is what happened a couple of days later :(


Big crack in the sump (as you can see from the arrows) Have been riding at this height for about 6 months, with the skidplate on without an issue. The skidplate has taken some very solid hits thats for sure. I guess the skidplate eventually bent just enough to mate up to the underside of the sump, which then resulted in any big hits to transfer the force direct to the sump... Scraping wasn't an issue, but the impact hits at speed were what caused the problem.

I was parked at Coles, did the shopping, came back to the car to find a huge pool of oil underneath O_O dang, lucky i wasn't too fr from home, got the car back. Currently on jack stands waiting for the new sump and gasket to get here (posting from the UK so gonna be a little while...) until then, I am driving the wagon around on temp rego as a daily... :/

Engineer gets back from holidays next week so should be able to get rego organised then and get the wagon on the road finally... Also BBS are at the tire place getting tires stretched on :)

Both your cars are fucking sick

[e30smith]

OH GOD I want that so bad. Why the F can't we just make it easy to bring these cars in?

[MattTHEe30GURU]

[bmwandhonda]

Took a few iphone pics of my two whips :) Coupe has been slammed to lowest point again. Still waiting on tires for the bbs (arriving on wednesday) and still waiting to get rego/engineers for the wagon but wil happen soon enough.

Yeh sweet as :)

My indicators barely work, like the globes are fine. Just when I'm driving they wil work perfect for the start of the drive but then they start to just not work, like the hit the stalk and the blinkers just don't flash, or will flash reallllllly slow... Prob just needs the relay replaced i'd say.

Yeah I had a similar issue (not with indicators) but one of my relays was heating up apparently (as it was rooted) so after the car was on for a while a couple of things weren't working as they should. So sounds pretty much the same. I ended up replacing all the relays with new anyway

[bmwandhonda]

No not at all... indicators are fine, what are yours doing? (rattles and bumps etc from the tailgate are not lol) Next time we're back in Melb i'll definately hit you up for a couple of photos, would be awesome!

haha Hell yeh man, got the NES up and running the other day. California games is the best!! haha

I actually never thought there would have been another touring with the M-Tech2 kit in Aus, let alone the same wheels lol nice. Would be an awesome photo opportunity to have the black and white version of the exact same car :)

By the way, have any issues with the indicators by any chance?
