Epic family roast yesterday, about 14 of us!

[JonnyBoi]

i had a roast today.. Only me though.. doesn't compete to 14 people

[Minuki]

Anyone know what indicators fit Tourings? I'm guessing compacts and saloons?

[Dr.AK]

Right you are!

Tourings, Sedans and Compacts share the same front end up to the A-Pillar, so everything up to that point fits each of these models. Front doors on the Touring and sedan are the same also, Compacts are longer.

[Minuki]

Thought so. There's a sedan in the scrappies, but it's in worse condition than mine

[Dr.AK]

Fuck HSD for not getting back to me yet.

I want to order those coils soon but with stiffer springs if possible... Want to ask if they can do 10kg/mms all around since I read somewhere that is the most their damps will support.

[Minuki]

Who did you contact?

Driftworks are their supplier, could maybe try through them?

[NeilP]

So when the HSD's get fitted, can we all expect to see the touring drift around the Ring?

[Dr.AK]

Nah, prob'ly not. But what I'm planning for my new daily just might.

[NeilP]

Please elaborate.

[Dr.AK]

See. This is where it gets weird.

Cause I always said I don't like Diesels. But a friends 525tds made me change my mind.

So the plan is for a 325tds and have said friend go over the engine cause he's a diesel wizard. His 525tds is pushing around 200hp, and he's currently building E36 compact with a TDS lump and a HX50 truck turbo or something.

Black smoke, wheeeeeh.

I'm in the same boat (near enough)

When I used to work for the local car audio company, one of the regulars had a stupid low e46 touring on rota grids, diesel naturally with a straight pipe and a map. That alone left it being stupid quick.

No idea what block was in it but I did love the sound.

I say do it (even though it feels so wrong to say).

Drove a e90 325d a few months back. Nothing interesting about it, but the torque delivery was infectious to say the least.

I wanted a Diesel, but I couldn't find one with a decent mileage

[NeilP]

But what I can't understand is a diesel sports car.

Saw a diesel slk today and I'm just left wondering what's the point?
