right moving on, my mate is a pro audio guy (pm me if you need anything done), so i got him out today, to do me an alarm system - pukka... so at least i will still have the car by the time it is finished lol a white bmw is crying out to be stolen.
also trail fitted the SD rollcage today, fits Perfect, (took about 10 mins to get it in) it is not bolted in yet, because i am going to be re-routing some of the wires and looming them up and making it look alot more neater, also going to respray some of the bare metal that is on show as it is scratched in places.

whacked on me beloved sweade 320mm steering wheel the other day, much better, it does'nt feel like driving a lorry now lol
all the bushes have arrived apart from the poly diff bush (should arrive monday) then it will be all hands on deck !!!
then will be on the 4 wheel algiment for the geomatry to be setup (adding neg camber)
after that i think its weight reduction time, Safety devices cage, and find some suitable buckets (opting for sparco's which is what i had in my polo and loved them)
not much else to report at the moment in time

does'nt anyone make an aftermarket motor mount for the M42 - instead of having to use E28 or original M42 mounts again?
What style or type of mounts did the E30 M3 have?

thanks lads, the extra bottle is a seperate washer tank for the headlight washers (must of been an optional extra) hence why there is headlight wipers aswel
the laserline box is a crappy alarm that does'nt work lol, so i will be ripping that out and installing a decent one.
the Intake utilizes a K&N end filter, (pics are a bit dogey lol)

General Topics / coil-over
« on: October 02, 2008, 05:38:06 PM »
nice, but GAZ can do you a fully adjustable coilover setup for around £650 (strut exchange) thats included rear strengthend shocker mounts, bump,rebound,damping,height adjustable, its called the "Gaz gold" range, for track and road usage, but you can specify what you want with custom springs rates and what sort of motorsport you will be doing
and if any of you watched the top gear when they entered the BMW Diesel into the 24hr brit-car, they set that up with their coilover systems
