Sparkle Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hey man, looks nice/ heaps tidier than mine! M42 swap will be quite choice. Keen for your 5spd if you don't use it, and probably the 1.8 too! Will have to get the cars together for a couple shots once wheels + slam is achieved. Ideas on lowering?

Berjjj Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks mate. M42 swap is ideal due to how far back it sits, found a wrecker that I could suss the engine off but now it's down to being able to do it myself, if it's much more than a backyard job I might have to pay someone to do it (any offers??) seeing as I don't have many tools nor a welder. Will deffo let you know when the time comes, the m10 has done 250 odd k's mind you. Have done some research, can't get past the adjustability of coilovers but all my current options are from overseas, GAZ does a complete setup for our cars which looks nice, or a Koni/GC setup, but they're damn pricey. Have you found anything local? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 gosh these things a multiplying!! looks good man, very tidy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 nah nothing local, the Gaz ones look good but seem to only lower 65mm at full drop. There's Jamex springs that do a 60mm drop. Can get the springs for about $200 locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berjjj Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Cheers Bistro. Sparkle the Gaz ones seem to go much lower than the 65mm stated on the website, this example is on them and they're not maxed out by a bit http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showt ... 590&page=3. Have seen others in the weeds on the same set up, will track the pics down for you. Otherwise do you know anyone that's able to shorten/weld up a Koni/GC setup if I got the hardware in? I don't have a welder or the skills, or if someone's willing to take on an apprentice for a day edit: another one on them http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showt ... 204&page=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Those ones may be wound right down and uncaptive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berjjj Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Have pm'd one of the members on SW and they're captive most of the way down, unless you max them. Sweet ride quality too apparently. I can't find any other options that would better it. Shipping from the UK sucks though, and I'm keen to find more reasonably priced alternative before shelling out that sort of money (could do alot with 2k). Otherwise I'll give GC in the states a call seeing as our dollar isn't too bad at the mo. Oooor anyone able to weld up a set? Would pay in advance and all that.

Sparkle Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Didn't realise they went that low. Could order 2x pairs and split the shipping perhaps? They might discount for x2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Did you bring this into Repco Albany around Midday today? Swear I saw this as I went off on lunch break. Pretty bloody tidy if it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berjjj Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'll flick them an email and see what they say, here's hoping. Are you a member on bimmersport? Think there might be a few more e21's on there so I'll see if we can get a bit of interest, probably not group buy prices but a decent shipping discount would be mint. Have found two distributors http://www.raceperformancemodified.com/BMW-E21-Shop or http://gazcoilovers.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berjjj Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Did you bring this into Repco Albany around Midday today? Swear I saw this as I went off on lunch break.Pretty bloody tidy if it was! Yeah mate that would have been me, do you work there? Was looking for some floor mats but I can't find any with a decent floor gas pedal cut out, might have to trip a rubber one, it's the small things ya know.

Taistorm Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yea bro. As for the floor mats, none have gas pedal cut outs. Could give Autodec a call, they might have something suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berjjj Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ah not too fussed, might just do a cut jobby on one of the rubber ones you've got in stock, can't go wrong for $10. Might stop by again at the end of the week aye. @ Sparkle, flicked an email off to rpm uk. but check out gazcoilovers.com, their calculator quotes free shipping for NZ, dunno if that's a glitch but I'd be stoked.

Hostge Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 If its anything like an e30 dash, theres a little chip in the dash that tells it whether its a 4 or a 6 cylinder (m10 vs m20 etc)...dunno e21s though. Mean car though haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
