Nice car! How did you fit the E36 signals? That must have been a ballsy maneuver...drilling holes in the fender!

[asubimmer]

the dremel and I are one...I fear not ;)

BTW the they are e36/e34 and maybe a 7 also.

nice one. all Aust delivered e30s have turn signals. they are actually e30/e28 specific pieces, being a tad larger and squarer than the e36 style ones.

just got word that my M Coupe LSD has arrived. will have to go about getting that in straight away and tell you guys how it feels.

the 2 things I'm worried about:

1 - it is obviously 8 bolt, so it will be a tad heavier, plus I am told some ///M Coupe diffs are even heavier again.

2 - ratio is 3.9, so I might lose out a little on accel. It should be good on the track though.

however, it is a very tight 60% lock, so it should be good for some fun.

We shall see.

[asubimmer]

ohh wow I didn't notice the E30/e28 one was diff then the e36/e34. I'll have to look on the back of mine to see the other model its for.

BTW I just noticed you have the fog blanks too. Haha I think our cars are twins...but you have nicer shoes :(
not to mention yours looks nicer overal than mine

whachu talkn bout willis? :confused:

[dude8383]

Maybe he means with the wheels off?

[16v of Fury]

whachu talkn bout willis? :confused:

Nah - I just meant more side shots, maybe one or two from a rear quarter and a front quarter, so we can see the drop your suspension is giving you, and so on.

How do you like the Weitec 60/60 kit? Did you get matching shocks? How stiff is it?

[peteM3power]

Very nice as always Jake... Love the mods that you've done to the white one!

[xsjado]

your car is soooo nice!!!

Arr so we meet again Jake. Man your car looks sweet, every time i see it i nearly drove my self off the road. Anywhos whats been going on? I wanted to ask you to see if you know of any BMW performance centres in Adelaide i want to get it chiped and cams tuned. Cheers

All E30's imported for example to Finland & Sweden have them. In the central europe they became mandatory later. So actually it is not a E36 item.
Jake's car do look really nice- AlpineWeiss suits well to E30 body. I just found Alpine Weiss 320IS, let's see how it turns out. Price is almost correct, but we are still negotiating ;)

[gearheadE30]

just the words 320is scream "buy it! buy it!" lol

BTWnice car streetspec. I may do the sidemarker mod. People keep getting mad at me because they can't see my turnsignal. :(

[Nick_318is]

Haven't been on here in a while but you car looks awesome. I notice the common(at least on mine) iS lip beating up.

Hey mate, yeah, we'll have to meet in person one of these days.

KPM Motorsport in Goodwood are the only real 'Performance' workshop round here. But eh, I dunno about them ...

There is another place, but i cant think of the damn name. They are down South.

Shit, seeing pics of this car makes me want to get her back on the road.
