Does anyone have access to an alignment machine where I could get a few measurements? I've installed rear toe and camber adjusters, but at the max toe-out adjustment I still have an obscene amount of tow-in. I tried measuring it using jack stands, string, and a laser measure, but my calculation ends up with only 0.5 deg toe-in. Based on the picture below (and Inventor), I'm guessing that I have roughly 1.76 deg of toe-in.
I'd like to measure it as it is, then adjust to full toe-in. This should give me my full range of motion, allowing me to calculate where the adjusters should be welded.

Hey all,
If anyone happens to see a 1989 325i/is for sale in red brilliant or zinno or a mtech2 in red for sale over the next few months, please let me know. Im not interested in swapped cars unless it is clean and able to be converted back to an m20.
I am planning on re-shelling my e30 as I really hate 4drs.
I would also be interested in buying a full coupe mtech2 kit if I cant get a

I have changed my engine from an e to an i. (Auto to manual transmission change as well.)
I am working on getting an appointment with a referee.
Smog test places won't touch the car. Cat as been changed to match the engine, but doesn't match the VIN.
Does anyone know where I can get a pre-test smog check?
Does anyone have a 5 gas exhaust analyzer?
Any ideas to put me at ease for my referee visit?

If you do go to a referee, based on what I've read, you just need to make sure all the stock emissions stuff is present and working (cat, charcoal canister, and purge valve). The engine has to be newer than the car. You'll need all kinds of documentation to prove what is in the car is correct and complete. It just seems like a huge waste of time to BAR a 325i engine into a 325e.sigpic
