E30 Zone

Some great info there guys :) Anyone got a sump? I repaired the sump with quicksteel and filled it up with oil, went for a quick drive and its as good as new.. but on leaving the unit I cought the sump and knocked off the quick steel repair lol so I need a new sump so I can get this car sold.. Or i ...

Trimmed lowering springs + dodgy English roads + 2.5" sump clearance = Merry Christmas Winston http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h175/76ball/The%20iS/IMG_1026.jpg Fingers crossed i can work my magic with some Quicksteel, it was due an oil change anyway lol.. I will have a closer look on monday A cou...

195/50 is the best i can do

Let me do some digging ;)

8Jx15" G60 Banded steels with 195/45's

Its abit of boring update but an update non the less. I removed the banded steels because they were leaking air.. After taking them to my mate at ATS to be inspected it turned out it was the valves that were leaking and lucky for me not the bands.. After stripping the tyres off it was clear to see t...

WOW <3

A tiny bit of work on the rear arches... but then i gave up doing more and just took the 5mm spacers off which sloved the scrubbing

Borbets <3... 9's all round?

Cheers rob0r.. Its on Gmax 60mm springs and shocks... Full tank of juice and a boot full of junk lol

Cheers Kemix.. Its on G-max shocks all round but they are past their best and haven't handled the chop to well lol.. whats yours lowered on? The plates came on the car... but im guessing they are uk font pressed plates from dubmeister.. These ones are not legal as they have no stamps or postcode etc...

They are not quite tucked yet harry... but lets just say i drive round with my arse cheeks clenched lol I set the BM up for the snow on Monday. It turned up yesterday but by the time it came to going skidding in it.. it was all ice but its snowing (ish) now so fingers crossed for tonight I fitted so...

Very very nice

Cheers Folks

Get some pics up K20trew.. sounds awesome.. 9's drooooool

I was thinking green bulbs but was worried they wouldn't shine bright enough?

Ive got 15" VW G60 steels banded to 8" on my E30

When i have my 5mm spacers on the rear it rubs a touch even with minor arch rolling.. you might be able to push 9's on a full rolled/flared arch

But im using 195/45's.. might be able to go wider using a skinner tyre also

Im sorry I can't ignore the fact they will be lensos

... Im out

If they are lensos NO.. If they are BBS yes

Thanks man.. This is my real love :o: It did have 1.8 8V GTi engine but ive just taken that out to fit a.... 1300cc Mk1 Golf driver engine lol... It lets me get mega low and paves way for a headache from G40 Turbo engine at the end of next show season... Its only on cheapo coilovers and has the orig...

195/45/15 Why thank you sir.... I like the mix of e30's on here... Track, drift, oem, council, sleepers and the odd few stanced ones winkeye I like a well stanced car, have done for years even before it became mainstream... It might go more track based after winter tho This is my other car thats off...

Im thinking of returning to standard rear lights.. as the indicators flash red at the moment and it does my head in

Quite fancy some front lights like yours had tho

Cheers man

Very nice man

^Im loving that.. sure ive seen it before?^ I did want to give it a wash for these pictures... but in this weather its pointless.. White cars suck lol Im pretty happy with how its sat but I still might put my 5mm rear spacers back on once ive done a little more arch work... I will have to get coilov...

Im not happy to hear how low the RPM sump guard sits... But thanks you have saved me buying one now.. I will just have to keep my eyes peeled for an OEM guard Mines on "trimmed" 60mm springs, apex shocks and 45 profile tyres... which forces me to drive very carefully indeed :eek: .. foolish maybe bu...

Im not sure what the LSD on my M42 is from.. but it goes sideways in first gear, non of my older open diff E30's would ever do that I went out my way to buy a car with an LSD because the volvo 340 16V i had with a welded diff was horrid to drive unless it was going sideways... If its an all out drif...

The pleasure was all mine

7am... OUCH!!!!!!

Cheers again dude

The threads gone wing and indicator crazy

.. thanks for all the knowledge, loving the stealth side markers

Ive just seen a white 5 door on black banded G60's.... Weight wise.. they are very heavy.. erm 18kg inc tyre at a guess

And yes!!! it does need to go lower

Cheers folks

I replyed on edition but will post do an updated post here I was going to sell the OZ but they have taken a battering on my mates caddy so they are not the straightest of wheels.. I would just want what i paid for them.. £200 (come with centre caps as well).. So guess no one will pay that so might a...

Ouch!! that much... forgive me im northern.. I just see it as having a cure that would cost me nothing.. I was just going to wire the fan to a switch as im used to driving oldish cars and keeping an eye on temps.. long term plans would be to fit a thermo triggered switch before summer What triggers ...

Cheers man.. I bought them from the edition38 forum classifieds.. They were banded by the guys friend who builds custom hot rods and bikes

The fan comes on everytime i start the car from cold but it stops (well the noise goes away) after a couple minutes of driving.. Ive had no problems with over heating.. I can't say ive heard it kicking in when ive been sat in traffic Can you get viscous couplings brand new? or is it a case of findin...

The standard fan on my M42 is rather loud.. Ive got a spare electric slim line fan i was thinking of fitting

Has anyone else fitted an electric fan? pros and cons?

Cheers
Winston

Few updates... New rims and standard splitter fitted... G60 8x15 banded steels... I was worried they might have to much poke but i very pleased with the results, they should tuck nicely.. Im going to buy a sump guard off ebay today and once its fitted i will give the springs a trim winkeye http://i6...
