salam smua...saya ada prob nak nanya,hope all u guys can help me..
saya baru beli sebuah e30 318i 89,3 bulan yang lepas..
my question are
1) knapa bila say hi rev engine ,kluar asap hitam?? sedangkan 2 minggu yg lepas sudah CO tuned,spark plug(ngk paltinum) changed,oil filter changed..
2) front tyre camber negative >3degree after done lowering,last month saya press camber at tyre shop,and now it happened again...my frens said,e30 cant do for press camber,others said can...so,how to solve this two question??
plsss help....your contribtion answer is really appreciated...

wow lagilagi... welcome to malatbimmer community, lagi baik kalo boleh intro dulu sebelum minta tolong ya

Exhaust ada bersih tak? over the years black carbon deposit from engine tends to fill up your exhaust manifold from 89 sampai 2010 mesti built up kan?
so when your hirev mesti habuk karr sampah karr semua terkeluar lorr (kira macam hingus lahh).. anyway black smoke is friendly smoke BUT bukan asap puteh kebiruan dah lahh.

Lowering for any car (most of it conti) memang camber lari kangkang. Camber E30 memang boleh press, tapi NOT effective, you akan press press lagilagi press sampai camber loose pegi tukar dan sama gak.
Saya tak pernah press camber.

Avoid lowering spring and use standard spring.:) hope this helps.

Actually instead of avoiding lowering springs, you should use lowering springs, THEN get camber plates.

camber plates not cheap right?

im abit skeptical bout the spark plugs, can the 318i uses the platinum spark plugs? i know m20b25 cannot use those platinum plugs

en razak, i think pressing your camber repeatedly will decrease its fatigue life. in simpler terms it will bound to fail faster. unless you really notice the diff. when driving, i suggest u let it be. garang jugak kalau tayar mengangkang ni hehe..

jangan press camber lagi dahhh... like i said i never press my camber... just leave as it is, you can post a picture of your car for us to see (kalau boleh) see how bad is the kangkang. If too bad, then you need to find Whole trailing arm set... then again, over the years the camber pun masih boleh lari gak.

Camber is to accommodate heavy weight of the car, maybe your previous owner use to run on heavy weight..:) ------> maybe i'm wrong in this

what springs did you use?

hello.. lagilagi..

black smoke ? tiuning too rich.. car sure torquey..

camber -3 ? maybe your suspension tower crashed in already or front accident, weak or karat, usually lowered ride is about -2 to -2.3max..

the prob is,only front right wheel yg camber lebih,for the left looks normal...
