Sup

If I was going e36 route, then I'd probably be doing more research, but I don't see the point of running 17' wheels and completely messing with the stock caster and suspension geometry..

You can run 16" wheels with e36 m3 brakes.

Stock brakes are fine, unles you're tracking or becoming a F1 driver in the e30. Get good pads, rebuild your calipers, replace brake lines to the SS ones and then comeback with a review.
I don't get the thrill of a BBK if you're still on a stock m20?

Try doing a "real" canyon run. Factory upgraded brakes fade after a few minutes going down hill. I had to pull over several times. Last time a did a canyon run with garrett after i did the rx-7 kit and i did not have that issue. Garrett on the other hand suffered major brake fade and ended up plowing through the double yellow a couple times.

ebay h1/h4 headlights , one has a broken lens

Pics of the lows?

Your going bi-turbo???

Just bi

Try pfc endurance pads nigel.. yes rx-7 have gretter stopping power no doubting that.. but i've done "real" canyon, track and autox with those pads and they will not fade!!

Meh. I'm just going to run 6 piston calipers and call it a day.



Memories. That was a good little car.

I'm down, haha

It's hard to explain maybe someone local can take it for a spin and then u can know better

hahaha, i was thinking the same thing.

CPS!!!

that's your answer to everything. just like mikes answer is the fly wheel for everything.

Just made my first international sale (canada does not count). GE is global. :drink:


I'm going to design my own rear BBK setup. Z1 rotors with wilwoods? Re-drilled e30 m3 rotors and e32 calipers? GE designs custom two piece rotor and willwood 1 piston aluminum calipers with integrated cable ebrake? So many options. So little money. lol

car runs , found out it was a spark plug, the metal part in the front was bent, not sure how it was a new plug.. car pulls great! got tire chert 1st to 2nd at 4300rpms :D Only issue im running rich due to no o2 sensor wired up and the idle is a little lumpy

It's always a good idea to check the gaps, you never know if the box was dropped.

Are you going to put a 3.73 in it?

People are offering you suggestions and you're not even responding to them.

Did you try a new crank position sensor?
Did you check the cap/rotor?

yeah it just so happen to be the only new plug i bought weds. since i broke one taking them out of the old head.

Still got the 2.93 in there till i get lucky at the yard for a 3.73/4.10lsd. For the time being ill take advantage of the good mpg and long gears.

Not sure how long i should wait to open it up to redline ;). I drop a bit today and felt good but only took it up to 4500 a few times

Wait, you replaced ONE spark plug? Come on man, Bosch plugs are like $1.70 each!

Why are you waiting to redline it? Rape that thing.

I just replaced all plugs not even a month ago when i bought the car. One broke when i was removing it. I just needed a plug like asap and vatozone didnt have the copper plus plugs. Well i wanna be easy since the new HG. But i think tomorrow it should be fine since I put it threw a few heat cycles today.

I still gotta wire up the o2 sensor, get a valve cover breather hose and fix one small intake leak. Hopefully that cures my cammed sounding exhaust tone lol. however i like that sound haha
