Drew, i hate to advise someone to buy mg, but with the demise of rover there are some very cheap mg out there at the moment, cheap top down motoring, alternatively cut the roof off the corsa and buy an umbrella

£795 with avon z33 + £25 uk delivery @ rochfordtyres

front 8x18 225/ 40, rear 9x18 255/35

piss off then

lmao just kidding...don't be a stranger m8

zanzi

Lovin those wheels dude

zanzi

mine are from rochfords...no gripes from me other than the tacky plastic centres that were supplied, i just used the orignal centres typically you want 8 inch wide rims all round, but on a wide body you want 9 inch rims on the rear, the offset for a non ///M is ET38/40. tyres...either 225 front 245/...

zanzi

does this help you zanzi Cheers m8 Im looking at pricing up healdight replacements too, so you UK guys can have the same "projector" based lights that the yanks have. These look truly awesome with a retrofitted HID Xenon conversion.more pics and instructions to follow :D :D :D Nice one Be...

zanzi

would be good if someone can post up some full car shots, might be tempted myself

Question Mr Sweet......could you remove the orange indicator lens while doing the rings

zanzi

yup, mine is exactly the same, soaking outside, bone dry inside.

zanzi

lmao @ spokey

You are so right about the e30 m3, bmw's finest hour in my opinion, a car that handles supremely well and gives astounding levels of driver satisfaction although only in a left hooker

zanzi

I have always found that by 70,000 miles Boge dampers (as used for standard BMW suspension) have lost most of their gas filling, and the ride quality is rather joggly. I prefer Bilstein Sprintline above all else, finding that it gives the best combination of ride and handling ever experienced. Expe...

zanzi

i think you'll find a vacuum controlled butterfly valve in one of the twin pipes on all 2.8 engines....haven't looked on the zed but i definately had it on the 328 sport

zanzi

8j on the front and 9j on the rear both with a 40 mm offset or as near as, "j" is the width of the rim but also (i could be wrong on this though) the profile of the rim lip.

No comment

zanzi

ps this really is my last comment lmao

zanzi

well they dont actually boost power, they just don't sap power under acceleration, with a given load (static rpm) there would be zero difference between a light or heavy wheel, it is only under acceleration that it becomes significant

p.s. the name not zansi, it pansi...err i mean zanzi

zanzi

well they were the first two replys to a search on "wheel inertia" that supported what i already know through many many years of modifying cars with the influence of such ppl as Nolan Pitt, Alan Jefferyand David Vizard, also i should have used a better term than "talking bollocks"...

zanzi

Ligter flywheels etc improve throttle response, but don't make much real difference to acceleration - the total vehicle weight and the power/torque characteristics of the engine are the important things here. Larger wheels will not make any difference, unless we are talking about an increase in the...

zanzi

The weight of ALL the moving parts in the drivetrain sap the engines power/torque (rotational and linear mass has a far greater effect than that of its static mass), therefore the lighter these parts are the quicker the car will accelerate, simple logic really.

zanzi

One point to remember is that the through road through Dartmoor (north/south , east/west) is mainly 40mph all the way, for good reason. There will be pony's and sheep all over the main road. Oops, i forgot to mention that, musn't break the speed limit, alternatively the wildlife make interesting bo...

zanzi

Hehe, no offence girlie

I used to have a set on my old E30 and know exactly how "good" they are

zanzi

Foxy.....Gmax are budget springs, they offer nothing positive other than lowering, if you want good springs buy Eibach.

zanzi

Unfortunately Honiton comes before Dartmoor but only by about ten minutes

But you have to drive thru dartmoor while your down here Alfie, take the B3212 from Dunsford to Yelverton, right through the heart of Dartmoor, then take one of the perimeter roads back

zanzi

Welcome m8, >inserty happy welcoming smiley<

wow, i like it......also surprised at the colour difference between the two photos

E36 wheels will fit fine as they have the same offsets as all non ///M zeds

zanzi

thanks :D ...they were £820 inc delivery, front 8x18 et40 225/40, rear 9x18 et38 255/35, they are avons, pretty good although the rim protectors are worthless on these tyres. this wheel setup up is perfect for any wide bodied z3d, the ///m needs a radically different offset for the rears, et8 i beli...

zanzi

FWIW, I had the ///M on a rolling road the other day. 255.7BHP at the wheels with a 31.9 Transmission loss makes just under 288BHP for what is supposed to be a 325BHP motor. The fan used to cool the engine did its job, but was nothing like the airflow at even 30mph. Add that to a 32 degree ambiant ...

hi jas

chipped uk's reputation is spot on peeps, i'll be up for a remap but i have to get ian to do my manifold and throttle body first m8

the orange indicators always look naff imo, except on a few colour cars orange for example

Hehe sorry about that :) a few beers and ...... :oops: With the seats in the car, i did both as i had installed two ///M seat from a coupe :roll: , the first took about 50 mins and the second about 35.
