E30 325i - Learning curve

[jdmcraig]

Well lads picked this up last night one of the lads was going to break it but me and a friend went halfs on it for a good price and got the full car so its going to be a learning curve new to RWD and hope to learn a bit from this its a 89 bmw e30 325i, its a 320i shell with 325i running gear including LSD diff, even has the onboard check computer.
it was sitting up for about 8 years, last tax disc in window is for 06, shell is a bit rusty but nothin too major so will be sorted and will spray it some color for the crack of it, needs a bit of work on the brakes and needs an air flow sensor anyone know if an e36 325 one will fit?

any tips or handy bits to do that will make a difference let me know cheers

Best a luck with it man. Regardin the air flow meter a e36 one will be different. Get your extra steerin lock and camber sorted out anyways. Iad sell off the lsd straight away and get a 4.1 and weld her up

[jdmcraig]

any links or that for extra lock? for camber its just e36 wishbones isnt it?

[mike e30]

Not to go at sending links if u even just search on bmw extra lock u will find it. Its just a matter of cutting the knuckle where the track rod bolts on and shortining it by about 10mm, then take off your inner tie rod and stick the out side part of 2 x €2 coin around the tread (it just works as a washer/spacer)
For the camber its e46 wishbones u us not e36 or if u no a handy welder cut and extend out the wishbone by 30mm

[jdmcraig]

Thanks for that lad will have a go at that so

Good luck with it
