E30 Zone

yea, this is FL....but it has gotten into the 50's lately....... still not cold by my North GA standards..... anyhoot..... this ticking noise is not normal. I have two E30's and am very aware of normal valve train ticking..... I am also VERY aware of the sounds my cars make. It was NOT making this n...

well, I had my girlfriend start the car a few mins ago. She said ther eis no smoke and car is running fine with no misfire or sputtering........ someone in a thread on another board said that might be because the head is cracked and it let coolant in the cylider when warm, sat overnight..... cooled ...

well, after spending almost a grand on my car and only having it back for about 4 days, she starting smoking. It is pure white smoke and is constantly coming through the exhaust. I also noticed a coolant smell while the car is running. (which has me worried it is the head gasket) this is what I had ...

I'm stateside and have no clue what you guys are talking about....lol

I am loving the sawblade tires......lol did you buy those on ebay? http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y198/Andyvrs/May2006026-3.jpg seriously, though.... I would have had the tires unmounted from the rim before painting them. Every time a tire gets changed now,the paint is going to flake off the edge....

love the wheels........

but a hard top will always come in at a close second to the sexy cabrio!!!!

Classy....wooden seat.

Don't most Alpina's come with wood grain?

haha

the bottom seat pops out. grab the bottom edge of the bottom seat and lift up and out. Once that is out, there are two bolts you have to undo at the bottom of the top seat. There is one on each side. After the bolts are out, the seat comes right out. the two bolts should look like this.... http://e3...

is this supposed to be heated? I have checked both of my cabrio's and the motor blows fine, but no heat. This may be why neither of them actually defrost the window. lol

So, are these supposed to be heated like a blow dryer? or do they just simply blow air???

I have actually decided to just replace the fan clutch for now. However, this will be a mod that I perform later on, when all the modding begins!!!

I got a PM from someone that gave me all the details. Thanks!

you don't think a car will stop in a shorter distance with traction, versus locking up the wheels and sliding?

I have no idea what is being asked in this thread......

extra rear light on the boot lid, not like never have. other then that classic car looking classy not sure if I follow what you are saying? Are you saying I should remove the third brake light? Did you mean to say..... "You have the third brake light on the boot lid. I don't like it. I never have."...

She looks great..same year as mine, also not to far from you i'm stationed in Savannah GA. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/pilotskillse30/144019634693_290_1.jpg I was actually born in Savannah and lived there until I was about 12. Still have tons of family there. In fact, I will be up in De...

I saw in another thread where BrianMoore was discussing using a fan from an E34 and the temp sensor. In addition, that the E30 came equiped with a relay and fuse that could be used??? Is there a DIY that illustrates this process? I am sending my baby to the shop for the timing belt, water pump, valv...

the rear deck lid doesn't need adjusting, it needs to be latched!!! It's a power top that was converted (rod's disconnected) to a manual top after it quit working by the previous owner. This means that there is no way to actually lock down the top cover. I recently bought a manual top cabrio with al...

I am also looking for opinions as to what to do next with this car. While I do not plan on modding it out, I do want to do such things like the Euro Smilies. Any other good ideas for OEM stuff?

my local club founder, Frankie, and I met up last night and had our run of Crane's Roost in Altamonte Springs, FL........ here are a few samples that have been resized...... These are very low res versions that do not do the pics any justice. They are currently undergoing retouching...... I will pos...

what is "intensive wash"

I replaced my old top with a top that was off a parts car I bought at the auction. When the car was delived, the fork lift operator scraped the top of the roof causing a few smal tears. Since it had a back window, and mine didn't, I decided to use it anyway. I tore off small sections of the inside f...

IS THIS TRUE FOR ANY MANUAL GEARBOX?

my fuel light comes on when I have 3 - 4 liters left.....

the front bumper, maybe with a few more accepts might look cool.

but anyone that thinks that fuel filler door is cool, should just start buying their accessories from autozone.

here it is. you can post your vin in the thread, or pm the guy......

he will tell you everything that can be had from your vin........

I think he knows it doesn't have an LSD in it now. He is asking if it should have come with one. That link above doesn't help him either. The guy on that side said none of them listed had the LSD option. Which means they either ALL came with one, or NONE came with one. There is a thread on a differe...

my tach and econo gauge went out, too. at the same time. but no check lights are on.

I figure this has to be a connection as they both went out at the same time......

any thoughts?

p.s. - future owners of your car will love you for this.......

If you need to change the backlight for the LCD..... you can undo the two top and bottom screws in the dash trim panel that houses the OBC. pull it out just enough where you can see the side of the OBC on the passenger side. You will see there is a white square that houses the light board. The trim ...

if someone wants in your car, they will find a way in it. I am sure this info can be found somewhere else on the net. On the flip side, as I have been having problems with my central locking, this could be useful. I have an aftermarket keyless entry, and I am not sure, but I think the batteries are ...

if your car came with C/L to begin with, why not keep the factory servo's andjust trip them with a wire connection?

If it didn't, I don't know what to tell you then to start replacing stuff or maybe try using some graphite lube.....

what would cause the odometer to quit work...... but the speedometer still works.....

don't they work off the same input?

that is one trashy course.........

:-p

do they have grounds keepers?

maybe people are keeping them in fear the one they are buying to replace the old one doesn't have them......

kind of a ripple effect......lol
