sidrick Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Interesting stuff. Could potentially be a very good purchase. Drive it sensibly for a while, eh. If you go and try to fling it about like your E36 straight away then it'll end up in disaster, and if you write a clean one off then I'll hunt you down and do bad things to you.

sidrick Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hhhhmmmm. Don't think I ever managed to lock the brakes up on my E30s. Quite surprised you did on a test drive..... The steering rack is much longer lock to lock than the E36, but with a slight modification you can fit the E36 rack to it which completely transforms the steering. The E30 should be STIFFER generally than the E36, not 'more floaty'. You may have bushing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykez69 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Lol Ross. Have i created a monster? Nice purchase though. I'm still looking. I just do the daily search over the forums, pistonheads and ebay. There is a few I like but a bit far to travel. One will pop up though for me.

Martin Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Nah, rat is over and done with now. Dude, you have a great attitude! You try something different (and it's always different) and you don't care what other people think. You do it for you then when your sick off it you do something else. Keep it up (and you've also got me looking at old beemers now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
