well well well. my new motor. u heard a bit about her already. 1988 5dr, grey full service history an a few extras from factory. she looks alitlle raw now but i think shes gonna b a monster. last owner claimed 205bhp, 0-60 6.37sec but i dont no. all i no is shes a fast 1. she drinks petrol like homer drinks duff £25 quid nearly back from birmingham yesterday. i dont no how tupac worked this out mr officer but he recons 110mph is around 4000revs so i think shes gud 4 140mph+.
savin a bit o cash now for paint and a little tlc but hope to have her ready 4 ultimate street car at the pod were i think u will c me a tupac rippin up the strip in a bit o a contest. lsd and extra bhp shud help me but tupac is a quality driver so i wud think it will b close.
cannot wait.

looks sweet mate, feel sorry for ya though with that fuel bill! keep it stealthy lookin thats the only way

Very nice mate, Tell us your plans then........

look even beta in the flesh an its got a nice nice to engine. i sat in it an gave it abit of a boot an the chasis did that lovely wobbly me al know an love 205bhp proven an i hope we hav as much fun on this as we did on the 5

new bootlid. possible sports spoiler. will post as i think really. got to go low!!

Looks v nice with so much potential!
Glad you got it in the end fella

Looks a minter Dikky!

Lookin forward to seein it in the metal!

they r a nice motor dikky and last for eva but i think the figures the previuse owner gave you are out with mine it had 100,000 on the clock and the engine was so smooth i got about 7.5-60 and it did 135mph okay but wou itld struggle to go any quicker bet you p.ssed ya self laughin tho when ya booted it u r defo goin up the ladder not down. have u got insured yet i got insured by norwich union by mistake with 1 years ncb for 1000 but they wernt to insure me till i was 24 but they gave me a qoute so they had no choice. nice car tho look after it xcelent in the wet he he he i wana see some kick ass donut action of ya he he he

Nice motor Dickky enjoyed the drive home defo feels quicker than mine and you havnt got a zorst or filter yet BRING ON THE POD.

love it

please put a 316 badge on it

hope you dont mind me popping round soon to have a little look at it

Sweet! RWD is soooo much fun, even in my jeep!

Dickky go with adams idea. Only peps who would prob know the diff is bm nutts or put 313 on the back. PS you forgot to put its an SE

Looks very sleeperish matey

Tidy looking car, and a nice 205bhp to put through an LSD *drools*

i had a dream last nite. it looked like this!!!

p.s sorry bout crap foto chop. if any1 wants to have a better go 4 me it will b gr8ly appreciated

what u tink o this

Is that bad boy'd?!!

SWEET MATE!

Post i8t in the photoshop forum matey, they work wonders

Get me on msn mate and send us the base pic and a good pic of the wheels u want, ill sort it
[email protected]

Sweet dikka doo, lovin the new ride look forward to seeing it pimped.

meesh she is badboyd bbot. not too sure tho. dont no wether to do smooth no spoiler or m-tec spoiler.

Every e-30 you see has a M3 spoiler or a sport spoiler or smooth boot its something i have been lookin for for a while its a hard one to pick that.

nice

doh batterys dead on my babe!!!!!!!
i left interior light on 4 3days!!!! ooooooooopps. goin to play wid her tommorow hopefully if weathers gud!!!!!

Shud i go cheaper option or what?

springs r -60mm @£100ish
or springs n dampers £250ish

is -60 to low. oooo i dont no!!!!!

Mine rides on lowered springs 60mm and standard shocks not a good idea. 60mm is a good drop but the inside of my tyres are getting a little worn you can drop them 80mm if you run 14" wheels or 15" on low pro tyres.

i say go for the springs and dampers as you will get a better ride quality. its defo worth spending the extra cash

60mm on springs and dampers, if you go for just springs your dampers will not last very long

make sure there enough clearence for the tyres too so you dont get dreaded rubbing, if it rubs on the insides of the arch then possible put spacers on to push the wheels out a little possibly??

hth

dikky, anythin more than 30mm should be accompanied by dampers aswell. Also ur handling will become worse if u dont get the dampers and itll bottom out dead easy. Get the dampers and itll be rock solid on its butt

i thinks this could be the kit 4 my new german friend. its a breyton front spioler, rear apron and sideskirts.





what ya thinkin peeps!!!!!

i think its more oldskool euro than a old french woman riding naked on a bicycle with onions round her wrinkly neck

just won myself a spoiler. Check it out!!!!!

nice spolier mate

im gonna try an buy it

bought it!!!!!! Yippee

Dickky good buy mate cos the change on any e30 is no good (not the word i wanted to use) you moving the monster along well.

just de blinged the kidney grill on the front o my car. its now a matt black lightly laquered so it looks almost colourless.

very sleepishly boring i hope. Camera has broke tho. pikkys soon.

so now my front grill luks somat like dis 1 2!!

Very nice mate, you and Tupac will be 'blinging' soon lol..

Dikky mate, you need a bad boy style bonnet

found this one to tease ya with

Yuck at colour

look at the camber on it tho, horrible colour, but great drifting camber

got to say yuck @ bonnet 2. sorry meesha.im probably gonna do brows. simula just a little sleepier.

will be super ace if its pure sleeper matey, sorry not too keen on that bonnet but brows are stealthy

heres the promisd pikkys o my new de blingd sleepy frontend

its starting to look nice now. thats made a big improvement. is that a couple of marks that i can see on the number plate? if so get a new one

plates r knackerd lawton. this car has certainly hit sum big flys!!!!!!lol

lookin good dikky! you'll be pimping women in no time

just an update. still waitin 4 ova nite parts from japan. had the doctor (stu mac) luk ova my wagon and it got the seal of approval apart from 1 thing. my lsd diddnt behave in the same way as his. mmmmm. i cud b havin a trip 2 birmingham to kick sum **** if it aint got an lsd.
grip is still gud tho. still gets traction off rear wheels up to 5grand ish so im still pretty happy. it seems to have bin chipped and ecu isnt a standard 1 and engine and it has bin chipped as it has 1 o the strangest rev limiters ive ever seen and it idles slightly higher so it seems to have the tother work dun the fella said.get paid nxt week so ill have to see what i do nxt month. ill keep u informed.

Nice car you have there Mr5

Your user name is missing a "32" now

i got my spioler. yippe!!!! pikkys 2 follow

just had a v cheap quote. im soooo tempted. cheap tat is considerin its grp 16/17 dependin on insurers and im still only 19.

mmmmmm. bmw.

got a new stereo. v gud deal. second hand yet immaculate. here she is.

mmm. question 4 u guys. spoil or not 2 spoil again. what ya tink. mmmmmmmm. i ain to sure. its just rested on at the mo but eventually when i sort my life out n get her sorted properly i dont no wether to put it on or not. i bought it off ebay a while ago but now i aint sure.

HEEEEELLLLLP my friends?????!!!!!

NOT SPOIL

SPOIL





What ya think

not spoil

appreciated sanchez.

I think that spoiler will spoil

Dont like it mate sorry

V.nice head unit mate, what model is it? Don't put that spoiler on.

Nice head as jimbo said,What are the controls to the left of it for,they look like stereo controls. As for the spoiler i say no way. Looks too wide for the car.I think the boot needs somethin but thats not it mate

control 2 left is trip computer. dnt no wether to spoil. keep ur views cumin guys. thanx

DONT PUT THAT ON. If you are going to put a spoiler on dikky boy go amd find one that nobody has. There are few spoilers out there that look good on e-30's m-tec look good and verysmall one's like mine but there are some very good ones out there. For £149 you can get an none evo m3 spoiler they look good but if you want the smooth euro look keep it off.

PS cars stayin got £1700 but the lad couldn't insurance for it.

arr. toni. i new u cuddnt do it. i cant find any 1 wid this spoiler on m8. thats the 1 thing goin 4 it. i have seen what i now wanna do. and it aint involvin this spoiler.

Dikky when we gonner see the motor on the road mate come on.

Might be joining you with an E30 soon verynice aswell

bmw is gettin on road 4 august 8th. all probs fixd n im just waitin 4 funds 4 small insurance premium. all i gotta say is 2k+

ya car is looking sweet matey but i would defo leave that spoiler off it doesnt do itself justice. Am made up for ya.

lol 'small' if small meant big id be a happy man!

glad your getting it sorted mate, im pleased for you in know how annoyed youve been not havin on the road!

27th u know you have to take me out dikky.

Lets see if you can drift like me.

thursday. barring all disasters is tax mot and insurance day. so if u c me singing on a street corner near you donate generously as its all going towards fuel and tyre money.

very nice!! i like it alot!!

mot 2moro. just insured her yippe. im gettin there. roll on usc

its about time u got the car on the road, cant wait to see it!!

on road. back from usc i luv her. pretty powerfull just gettin grip was trikky on the track. most runs i were still spinnin in second gear!!!!! doh!!!! lukkd n sounded cool doin a 1/4 mile burnout but werent fast te he.

got better as weekend went on, 17.6sec 1st run (v smoky tires n squeely) then 5 runs later a 16.1 (only spinnin in 1st gear). soooooo much fun cant wait till next year. i want 325 sport gearbox and lsd n racin slicks 2. n tats about that. just so u guys have a comparison a lad i met had a 325 sport which ran 16.3s consistantly and a 1 off 15.9. 3rd gear killd me. its just to far away the ratio to carry any power through. Yipppe

Click here to watch Dicky on the Strip ......................

Looking good matey

cheers scoob 4 video luks mad. tat were my fastest run on saturday. day 2 were better 4 me. lmao at me runnin down the strip all weekend wid my tools 4 journey rattlin round in the boot. te he. most o the cars had no interior and were runnin slicks. im sittin there surrounded by the worlds amount rubbish. so much fun tho

Exellent dikky well done matey glad you like it and glad you have it on the road at long last.

well, i went in this little trixy last night, very smoooooth, and quite supprised how well it stopped from great speeds. nice one mr dick.

Dikkadont its looking fab Go you @ USC!!!

just bid on this on ebay. cud 4 first real mod. will probably loose power but hey. it luks nice.o i yeah. cheap enough 2.

Back Box



what ya rekon kids?

That'll suit it nicely i think

that will be ace,how u mean "lose power" Gonna get the rest of the zorst worked one day?

i mean lose power as in box isnt exact size as bmw wanted for back pressure so i rekon i willlose maximum bhp. however i wud think as exhaust is high flow i rekon i will get better throttle responce and freer reving performance.

isnt that made out of aluminium, if so, i have heard bad things about them ones off ebay

didnt get exaust. talkin 2 fella bout straight swap 4 this 1. will post piccs when i get em.

Possibly my new project?????????

He will even post it for £15 seems a bargain mate! lol

lol, bargain there, £15 p+p, lol.

have you got any pics of it, is it cheaper to insure then the bmw? i think you should go for it

"in car adjustable boost"

which means manual boost controller which means make your engine explode faster :rolleyes:

Stick with the BM dikky, the 5 will only blow up all the time, you'll never make it to the end of a tank of petrol without something breaking on it

5s only blow up cos they boil ova. i.e traffic jams, long trips. this can be aided by

1. good ventilation 2 engine
2. putting the fan operation on a switch. this means u can have the fan on constantly which cud help me stay cool.

i dunno what 2 do. hes askd me 4 pikkys iv sentem n asd him 4 pikkys o dat 1.mmm. we will c.

by the way any1 no wtf a hybrid turbo is? i aint a clue.

its just a make of turbo

like hks

x

No its not. A hybrid turbo is one that is made with better blades and stronger parts. I don't know all the ins and outs but theyre generally used for more power. StuyMac or Adam will know more about it. Ask them!

theres more info on them there Click Me

and there Click Me

oh and hybrid is a company... they make intercoolers and stuff

i just thought it was the same company! sorry!

What is a Hybrid Turbo?

A hybrid turbocharger combines the quick boost response required at low engine revs, with the extra air-flow capacity needed for more power at higher revs - with excellent Turbo Technics reliability.

Hybrid turbochargers are not a new idea. Turbo Technics started producing hybrids as long ago as 1985, and today continues to lead this specialised field. A language has even evolved to describe the components employed in hybrid turbos - words such as cut-back, 360°, screw-down and quick release.

But what does it all mean?

For most road going cars, a standard specification, good quality Service Exchange Turbocharger is sufficient. Hybrid turbos only become necessary when significant performance improvement is required, normally on a modified engine. Most hybrid turbochargers will look identical to standard units from the outside. The changes occur inside, by using different aerodynamic configurations, both in the compressor and turbine housings.

As a Garrett turbo dealer, Turbo Technics are in a unique position to choose from a comprehensive range of components. This allows our engineers to "blueprint" turbocharger components to achieve the desired characteristics needed for a particular application. Obviously there are limits, but this ability sets Turbo Technics apart from others in producing very effective hybrid turbos. Most turbocharged engines respond well to increased boost pressure, but only if the engine is modified to capitalise on the change. The same can be said of turbochargers. A hybrid turbo on a standard engine may offer a small benefit, but will be more effective on a modified engine. Unfortunately, increasing the boost pressure also increases the internal loading within the turbocharger significantly. In order to compensate for this, a "screwed down" thrust bearing is sometimes used. This prevents the bearing from "lifting" at high load which can lead to oil starvation and component failure.

To continue up the hybrid ladder of performance, a "360°" thrust bearing is used. This is an entirely new bearing, manufactured by Turbo Technics, and originally developed for our competition customers, such as Ford Motorsport. It has a greater bearing contact face to withstand the high loads, which would otherwise destroy a standard bearing very quickly. Turbo Technics will occasionally specify a "cut-back" shaft wheel. This is the main exhaust-driven turbine wheel inside the turbocharger. To limit its speed to acceptable, reliable levels, and to improve the airflow, the blades are "cut back". This is a very high precision machining operation, requiring highly accurate grinding and balancing. The Turbo Technics designed and manufactured VSR balancing machine ensures that exact limits are achieved every time, regardless of the vehicle to which the turbo will be fitted, from the humble Mondeo turbo diesel to a full works Group A' Escort Cosworth.

Another way in which a hybrid turbocharger can improve an engine's performance is by improving response, or reducing turbo lag. By designing a more efficient turbocharger compatible with the engine's characteristics, Turbo Technics offer hybrid turbos which can transform a cars driveability.

The Turbo Technics range of hybrid turbochargers are also available throughout the UK Dealer Network. But beware of copies!

Some imitation hybrids are cheaper, but when inspected are found to contain only standard internal components! Only Turbo Technics turbos carry an identification plate to guarantee the genuine article.

Sums it up really. Hybrid for example would be a Renault 5 standard turbo but with an uprated ceramic turbine or stuff like that. I say get the 5 mate. U cant beat turbod motors.But then again,it looks like a bit of a worse for wear 5. Theres much better out there.And ur gonna give him a BMW 325 for that? i wouldnt. Get a standard minter if you can. My 2p

scoop that may o bin a cut n paste but scoop thats the 1st usefull thing uv eva sed. thanx. still an high level of ford concerntration in this post tho.

your gonna be hard pushed to find a 5 that hasn't been ragged unfortunatly as thats what thry're renowned for i think stay with the bmw mate, its a bit different

5s fell through. insurance company have put loads a ureasonale conditions on it. o well. im bk 2 buyin 4 my bm again. mmm. shud have an exhaust from rotheram off ebay. keep u posted. its stainless steel dtm upswept by powerflow. £60 im thinkin bargain. twin inlet twin outlet jobby. yippee

mmm. what 2 say. mmm. unluck ebay sprint continues. just aint got the bottle i dont think. didnt get exhaust. got myself ne bootlid n spoiler. alpina style rocker cover now on and engine bay cleaner than micheal jacksons bedroom. te he. pikkys 2 follow

before my bbq paint



after my paint.



te he

Lookin good dikster....!! Get the burgers on the go! lol

Nice touch dikky, looks so much tidier in there now.

GOIN ON THE TRACKDAY!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!! i cant wait. mmmmmmmmm.
