looks too good to frag to me, bet then I haven't seen under the arches and the scuttle panel etc :D can't see a massive amount of dollar coming your way in parts if you did frag it especially with the current climate. maybe best to serve to someone with a fetish for that chrome stuff? looks pretty t...

Only the M3 and 318is have a timing chain. M20 and M40 are both belts.

M10 has a chain too! not reallly applicable here but....

What the bore size of an M10 and the rod length as i have some beetle pistons here lol can check! Searched this site but can't find anything so maybe i dreamt it lol

Oh and bike carb wise Lance1a is the guy to talk too he had an m10 running on them.

old thread but a good read about M10..

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... hlight=m10

I have heard something in the past about vw beetle pistons...I think.....
Or maybe I dreamt it lol

M10 can be a cracking motor if done right, I was gonna build one with my old lump but my brother weighed it in!!! was gutted as it had a schrick cam in it!

my 325 with a chip and a 3.64 slipper running on 15's would do 6.74, stripped out with a cage. thats with slightly more wheelspin than is ideal in first and second lol. with perfect traction i would say maybe 6.6 ish..... the forthcoming m50 project should be even better!

I took a pug 405 diesel estate in last week which weighed in at 1120kg and only got £113.20, I was a bit gutted to be honest but thats how it goes, at least it's something towards the rebuild....

Ok basically I have a 2 door track car which needs welding to the inner rear arches, is this a big job to do well? does not need to look pretty but does need to be strong, I have a welder so thats not an issue or do I go out and get a better shell? This is the only rot I have found on the car apart ...

I was gonna go and have a mooch about but the insureance docs have not come through for my daily derv so still no tax on it. oh well, had a look about on my track car and found more rust than i wanted too... decision time now

What would be perfect is a section titled scrapyards or similar within there each post could be titled with town and county then within the post, details of breakers in there ideally with a contact number of said yard (and aything to watch out for if they are a bit dodgy) . I did list the bits avail...

I fitted some buckets (mamba they are originally destined for a classic mini but never used - ebay bargain!) in mine using box section from B&Q, think its about 20mm square and proper steel so nice and strong!

will get some pics if and when the rain ever stops!

I think i remember reading somewhere on here that the offset is all wrong and they will fit with spacers. I could be wrong tho

Oh yes it will go no problem! even go back in the same way if you would want to do such a perverted thing!

according to my gtech i have done 6.74 in my stripped out 325i with a 3.64 on 15's

Originally a 320i SE auto in calypso red. Came to me already fitted with a 325i sport engine and manual box bot with a 4.1 open diff so first gear was useless! Away went the 14" bbs wheels (once I had "used" the tread up). Interior stripped out and a pair of mamba bucket seat fitted on home made bra...

Looks a bit like mine!

Though I already have the cage and buckets with harnesses and a distinct lack of Borbets.....

Here is my slag

no need for spacers with et13. 195 tyres are a little stretched but look good

7*15 ET13 on my track slag, painted black and fitted with 195/50*15 Yokohama tyres.

Mine are the RH version, practically identical though

I get over 300 to the tank out of mine, drive mostly a roads at speed 55mile round trip to work a day. Do give it some beans as and when required and make the lsd earn its keep! average on the obc is normally between 28 and 30 though i did get almost 40 on a recent trip (took bloody ages though!) 8O

This the link you are after??

Something missing on that picture......can't quite place it

was from a local motor factors, cheaper than halfords and they know what a car is! Halfords paint should do the job though. car Looked better in the pics than in real life, the laquer peel was terrible in places and rear quarter had been badly painted so I did this..... If I were to do it again I wo...

Here is how i did mine, still looking good now! the other set i did over a year ago and they still look mint also! http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=76629&highlight= hope that helps! roughly 1 250ml can per wheel did the job, couple of free papers, 1 roll of masking tap...

Damn it!

My track slag is black with an iS lip

Thats the one i saw!

Max, was it you car i saw parked in a layby early on i think friday morning last week on the A453 heading towards nottingham?

Was about 7am when i saw it, was a touring with l plates and a big exhaust. Rear L plate in the window

Whoohoo!

Can i collect mine from you and pay cash as i am only down the road

A worthy winner!!!

Was going to enter my track slag until I saw JimmyC in there!

[waits patiently for the rat look month]

Where would one aquire these 'proper' E30 quick rack jobbies?

sounds just the job for my track slag

If it has the weber conversion on it (most do) the mpg gauge won't work I am afraid!

Small price to pay though as the weber upgrade is much better than the standard carb

Is the car a 316 with the 1.8 carb (M10 engine) fitted?

That explains why the diff was easy enough to get off then! Spec has changed a bit since you had it BBS wheels are gone and replaced with the RH Mims lookalikes with yokohama tyres all round Old diff off and replaced with a 3.64 LSD headlights have been smoked interior stripped and two bucket seats ...
