Title: Flexz
Post by: Flexz on January 12, 2009, 03:34:43 PM: hi Guys,

I`m Alex from the Netherlands, so my english ain`t all that:p
Little bit addicted to the e30, and especially to the 4cylinder models, because of the handling..
long hoped for an s14, but with those prices....:(

so I bought myself a nice 318is.... instantly going crazy about the character of the m42.. nice and raw:cool:

wanting to push some more performance out of the m42, I bought myself the necessary products to increase some performance.. but not ready yet!
I own 3 e30`ers at this moment and some spare parts and stuff....

I rent a little garage with a friend of mine... in which we spend quite a bit of our time..

very fond of the `tief und breit` principle;)

my 1989 sterlingsilber 318is:

some specs:
Gruppe-n suspension (75/50 lowering)
black leather m3 interior
ebay el-cheapo custom chip
stainless exhaust
green `airbox` (just a little insignificant little thing)
z3m shortshift
alpina topmounts
raid gauges in console
3.91 visco
4x100 wheels: keskin kt1 (9j) - Original alpina 7j - rial 8j - powertec 9j/8j

Post by: JP 91iS on January 13, 2009, 10:51:58 PM: Welcome, you've got some clean cars. Looks like you're putting a turbo on the 318? Whats the tief und breit principle? (I tried a halfass search on google but didn't get anything)

Deep and wide.
To make the car stable both laterally and vertically. It also gives the car a more profound and aggressive presence.

Welcome Alex, it's nice to have you onboard.

JP, I think Alex was about to sell his Mosselman Turbo-kit. He wants to go NA with ITB's and stuff.
