Are you using standard suspension or what suspension mods have you got?

Running cheapy Ta-Technix coilovers which I'm actually very impressed with.
And Powerflex wishbone bushes. That's it No lock mods and everything else standard.

Put my ta-technix in today, very happy with the front but disappointed with the rears, they dont go anywhere near as low as i want, are yours the same?

E36 are always high on the rear, did you remove the height adjusters from the rear springs?
With my old suspension all I had was the springs in with no height adjusters and it sat down at a nice height.

This man speaks the truth! They are always going to be higher at the rear and when i first started adjusting mine
i wasn't happy with the rear either was waaay too high so i whipped the adjusters out and shaved the bump stops down a tad
much happier with it now Could probably go down another bit but wasn't expecting mega lows for the price of the coilovers.

Yeah ive the adjusters out, the cut springs that were in it were just as low though :L at least it'll handle better

Coilovers seriously help them! I drifted for a long time on standard suspension! Rack spacers if you find yourself running out of lock but to be fair e36 are not bad standard!

So there's been few things happening lately so thought i would do an update.
Put the word out to a few tyre shops that i was looking for some cheap rubber if not free
and luckily enough the sound lads in my local tyre shop have been putting some aside for me to take away!
Needed to get some more wheels for the freebie tyre's. I found a set of terribly sprayed style 27's and one style 28
For a bargain price of €40 and they where just 20 mins down the road from me.
So i set about changing the tyre's over.





The intake boot and MAF sensor where both completely knackered causing it to run horribly!
So i thought whilst i was replacing them i my as well completely re-do the intake system.
These are the parts i got from Murray Motorsport so i could make it happen.

*80mm Samco Elbow
*80mm Samco Joiner
*76mm 45% Alloy Pipe
*K&N Filter
*Second Hand MAF





After cutting them down to size and fiddling about i mocked it up.



And finally got it all bolted together Just need to get a new set of plugs for it but it runs like a champ now!

Stumbled across this last night on the internet and wanted some opinions.
Most of you will know what it is but for those of you that dont its a BN Sports R32 roof spoiler.

[Ptank]

Feck thats nice. Iv a seat ibiza spoiler to stick on mine, angle isnt as aggressive as that so was gona chop it, and make up a rocket bunny style spoiler for the boot. Do the above before I do
