Hitting the track and the street with Do88

Posted on May 15, 2017 by eEuroparts.com

When we embarked on the journey that is building a Saab racing car, we knew Do88 would be a fundamental part of the performance of the machine. When it was finally time to get to the nitty gritty, we already had all the parts we needed picked out. Of course that meant a few boxes showed up from Sweden once we pulled the trigger. In them was a Do88 intercooler, aluminum radiator, as well as a full set of hoses. After our first AER of the season at Watkins Glen International, it was clear we made the right decision. If you are looking for performance cooling products for your Swedish or German car, we have a huge number of products from Sweden’s premiere speed shop. Over 500 to be exact, but if you can’t find the right silicone hose set or performance cooler, we have a number of other options

The eEuro 9-3 Race Car debuts THIS WEEKEND and we’re broadcasting live!

Posted on April 20, 2017 by eEuroparts.com

This weekend, April 21-23, we are debuting the brand new eEuro 9-3 at Watkins Glen International at our third season opener for American Endurance Racing (AER) (click for schedule). We’re entering the third year of our partnership with AER as the official parts sponsor. As car and racing enthusiasts, we’re dedicated to supporting AER, their staff and all of our fellow racers, near and far. As some of you have been following, we’ve been building a Saab 9-3 race car to be competitive as a class 3 race car at AER. To recap the Saab 9-3 parts we upgraded, our new car is brandishing a tuned 4cyl turbo B207 engine using Wiseco forged pistons and Molnar forged H-Beam connecting rods. The engine is connected to a huge Do88 intercooler cooling system on one side, and a fat Krona 3in Downpipe exhaust system on the other, this eEuro 9-3 is lean and mean, with

Performance BMW Parts: E46 Cooling System Kit Adds Durability

Posted on February 7, 2017 by Adam Goral

As someone that keeps track of BMW parts sales to notice trends (& all Euro brands for that matter!), one trend became obvious pretty quickly. BMW cooling system parts have always been huge movers. This is mostly due to both the design and materials used, especially in parts for BMW E36’s and E46’s, but we have a solution. We’ve come up with a BMW E46 cooling system kit that replaces the brittle and failure prone components with uprated aluminum parts to ensure you’ll never have to replace them again. Mishimoto has been in the business of making high-quality all-aluminum cooling system parts and we’ve assembled them into an easy to install kit that will keep your BMW reliable, even under severe abuse. The kit itself is compatible with both Automatic and Manual transmissions, as it does not include the radiator part. We have both radiators ready to go on the site,

Driving Fast In The Dark – Hella 350 Light Bar Review

Posted on November 11, 2016 by Michael Hooper of River City Rally

RCR recently had a chance to try out the new Hella 350 LED light bars. Our E30 rally car affectionately named Nemo (Never Ending Maintenance Opportunity) has been running a cheap eBay light bar and stock ellipsoids for the last year. This combination seems very impressive on the street and playing around in the woods on open roads, but on the stage we have been consistently overdriving them. We have been looking at affordable solutions, so when these light bars came available through eEuropart.com we were ecstatic to have a chance to run them. Up until know, LEDs are know to throw a ton of light in a broad pattern but often struggle to produce light at long range. I was a little skeptical to try another LED bar for distance but know Hella to be a quality manufacturer and figured it was worth a shot. I’m glad we did

Solving Saab 9-5 Rear Suspension Issues

Posted on November 10, 2016 by Daniel Routley

In my last blog entry, I wrote about my challenges with oversteer during my time attack event. In doing a lot of research since that event, I discovered that the extreme oversteer that I experience could happen to anyone driving their 9-5. The Saab 9-5 rear suspension design incorporates more than twice the number of rubber bushings as the front. That’s double the places that can wear out and create excessive slop and movement in the suspension. When the bushings begin to wear out, wheel alignments no longer hold, and things go south. The rear suspension uses 3 different control arm bushings, labelled in this diagram as #7 (4566378 click here to view), #15 (4567244 click here to view), and #17 (12781136 click here to view). The most common culprits are the upper #15, and #17 for wear. If you’re experiencing excessive negative camber, then #15 is your problem! Camber
