Hi mates!

Don't know why my post didn't appeared in my own Welcome Thread, so i copied my text, (which i saved before :p ) and post it here.
More pics soon!
....

Me again, got some news for you.
First, i got some troubles with my bolt on suspension, a k-sport coilover, the spring which would stable was not delivered.

After that, i got one from my buddy and k-sport specialist, which worked it out.

Here is my finished rear axle, as already told with powerflex bushes, h+r anti roll bar, k-sport spring and damper and my new steel brake lines (?).
PS: Yes, it's a LSD

And here a pic from the front suspension.
As you (or at least the eagle eye's) see, the second spring is mounted and it fits really well in every height i would drive.
I also removed the dust / dirt cover to get a better airflow arround the brakes, because i won't loose the brake power.

And i also got 4 goodies for my 318iS....
4 new tar-ox brakes (don't know if they are well known in the USA) slotted and cross drilled.

And i don't wanna look bad in your eye's and ordered a part of your country

I've heard something about dual mass flywheels w/ AC and single mass w/o.
But also some said that every iS after march '90 is fitted with dual mass fw so i wouldn't risk to take the wrong one

A spec stage 2 clutch and pressure plate incl. a JB Racing flywheel (which weights 9lbs

).

A also removed the catalytic converter out of the stock case. But i will refit a race cat. or a pipe trough, because the noise is annoying, the pressure makes real noisy clank.

I don't got more pics of it, my first drive experience wasn't that bad. I don't wanna commend to much, maybe later with a vid of it on the race track.

I also got some Schrick camshafts (258� each side) which would be fitted next weekend.
This week, the car is going to be painted, i will send you pics if i got one of the complete car.

Also new... I bought some 14'' rims, aaand 15'' rims in a very good condition. Pics later

And not as usually planned, i will not use the car as a daily drive car, it will be my car for my beginning on hill climb racing, because i will get a daily drive from my company

And sorry for all jag fans, the car is sold...
I will look around for a car which could trail a lot, as a F150 lighting or something like that. Maybe later

Cya!

You will love that spec stage 2. I have the un-sprung 6 puck from spec and it is amazing. not sure if they call that stage 3 or 4.....anyways, i have put probably 20,000 miles on it and it is still gripping hard. Starting to get soft compared to what it used to be, but it still has alot of life in it. No slipping on hard launching etc.

How do you like the feel of that lightweight? I have a light weight flywheel and clutch setup to put in when i swap in my M series transmission.

Both my E30's are post march 1990 and neither have a dual mass fly wheel.

Car looks good, get some more pictures up!
