But essentially they go in pretty much the same places as the tin tops.

so i should get right in about the rear inner arches, rear area of the filler neck, lower areas of the front inner arches, fuel tank & bulkhead

cheers guy's, things will probably come back to me once i'm stood next to the car i'm going to see, what i do know is brand new manual hood 2 yrs ago and it's never been out in the rain, it's been stored away "always with the roof up", 114K (FSH) miles, my last E30 cabby was a 320i and i was happy e...

Hi guy's been a while since ive used E30 zone, but like many other's your last E30 never really is? going to see what looks like an excellent 320i Convertible this weekend, it's a 1990 with FSH just a quick question: do they corrode in the same areas as a tin-top? places i know of to check inner rea...

just to let you know there is another show in that same place that you guy's might be intrested in? PS: it has a far bigger display of car's, bike's, truck's.. etc, etc.. "Pre 67 Ford Day @ Bridge Of Allan will be held on the 7th July this year,closing date for entrys 7th june" it's held by the Pre ...

wasn't to sure where to post this.. here goes

ive been thinking about getting my own fault reader to keep in my car (1999 E39) and i thought i'd ask if this (or similar) is worth having?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vgate-VC310-A ... 922wt_1063

not to far away then

only other problem i remember of iS200 was clutch judder when hot... that said they are pretty much bullet proof motors

can't complain at that price... happy motoring

where has the E30 went to?

have you been to see the Lexus yet? mileage is good for it's year & for it having 3 keepers.. check for any wobble at speed if you can, there bad for prop shaft bushes wearing.. did you get any cash of it, bearing in mind what work you say needs done? also i'd remove the tinted windows, they make th...

yeah mate i understand

is the Lexus in "Autopoint"??

don't know if i'm happy or sad for you Paul... is it staying local-ish??

TBH yeah.. there is plenty of space for either another silencer or a larger one where the silencer sit's at the moment.
it was RMS who made the centre section & fitted the back box for me, i actually just found the receipt/life time warranty on Monday night!

Paul.. i wouldn't let anyone open up that back box... just get a larger centre silencer/muffler fitted as there is only one fitted to the system i had built & there should have been 2 silencers as well as the back box (that back box on it's own is over £130 worth of scorpion's finest ever stainless)

I used to own that car. Boyd, i found some pic's i had from a retro car meet from a few years back (May 2007) another E28 you owned, sat with my past E39 http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/jacsuz/E28VE39.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/jacsuz/2.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32...

don't see me owning another E30 to soon?? but when i do i'll probably go for another convertible E30

Paul.. ive a decent knowledge of E30's & i'm only a few miles from you, if there is ever anything your unsure of contact me & we can meet up. i'm home all day tomorrow (Sunday & Monday.. but can't leave home) if you fancy a drive over the erskine bridge.. PM me if you want to come over & i'll PM U b...

Yeah I seen that and its making me nervous about damaging the paint! i wouldn't worry to much as the car was stripped to the bare metal for it's respray and the guy i got it from say's the Tech 1 skirts were added about 4/5 mths after (hence how they look a slightly different shade) and the sill's ...

Absolutely NO FIAT Pandas/Unos etc. Particularly StevieBMW styled ones. HOY! don't knock-em :) if it were not for my daughters wee modded Punto i'd not have got about much this past week.. it's saved me seen as my E39 decided to throw a fit and offer up a knackered & seized viscous :cry: this has b...

Paul.. the skirts on your car were fitted by the owner i bought it from, i had never taken them off but they looked to have the original fitting clips on the underside (along the cill lip) then they had just been screwed in to the lip on each wheel arch, if you look behind the skirts from an above a...

Paul.. do you know the mileage from the day you got your E30?

i sold the iS on the 18th Nov 2011, this pic is from 19 day's before i sold it.. my average miles per week are 12-15 so add 40-45 miles to this

my gallery from when i owned it, feel free to check my car domain history to.. i don't scrimp nor scrape when it come's to my car's & the work they need E30 iS: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3871075/1990-bmw-3-series one of the biggest decisions i ever had to make with any car ive owned was parting ...

have you spoke to previous owner at all ? he had anything to say for selling you a bag of bolts i'm the last owner.. check my history/profile & post's & you'll see the work i put in to this car, some of what Paul has went through is age related "wear & tear" the engine was very unfortunate.. there ...

I trust you and 318isPMK won't be falling out over Britain's Most Expensive IS. lol, doubt it.. :D be good to see the ole-motor again Paul never bought the car from me & i know when i did sell it it was in as near perfect condition as it could have been, He has just been very unfortunate but he has...

it's my daughters engagement party on the 12th so if my head is up to this i'll come along..
for now i'll say: maybe attending (in my E39)

the air box is already drilled in your iS Paul.. (by a past owner) ..just get a decent/performance panel filter

Had the car back on the road tonight I am totally delighted! Couple subtle changes since you had it old wheel is back on new gearstick new seatbacks new ashtray cover planning on a black stereo unit. good stuff, when i traded it, it had a new & proper M badged 318iS gear knob.. http://i60.photobuck...

this is the weld that i was going to have replaced with a sleeve as i didn't like the fact that the whole system inc down pipe were all one piece (after the system was built)

it's sitting on a slight hill in your pic's Paul..better pic's http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/jacsuz/318%20iS/DSC03490.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/jacsuz/318%20iS/DSC03503.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/jacsuz/318%20iS/DSC03489.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h3...

it's fitted with -35mm springs, proper short stroke shocks & i fitted it with "50" series tyres as folk say "55" series tyres fitted to MiM alloys can rub on the rear arches due to there ET/off set ;) springs and rear shocks: 3K miles before i sold it front shocks/inserts: 1500 miles before i sold i...

It wasnt the original engine it was in it, it had an e36 m42 that was in there even though it was sold with loads of history....... relating to an engine that wasnt in the car lol good stuff, glad to see the ole-turd will be back out on the roads again.. :wink: ive always and will always use Boyd f...

i'll tell you how good it is, Boyd actually owned this very car a couple of yrs ago with some intent to break it, 2yrs+ later it's still on the road, fully restored cosmetic's, not to mention the countless amount of new part's fitted and Boyd is still saying it's a good example credit where it's due...

in Pauls defence "he owns one of thee most solid & cleanest E30's out there" i should know..
give the guy a break he's having a rough enough time.

like i said "way back" on page 4 i really do think you have been terribly unfortunate if the chain has snapped but i do believe Mark & his brother won't ignore you & if they are in a position to help i'd like to think they would? WHO POSTED ON PISTONHEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR GOD'S SAKE I AM IN THE MIDD...

Hi Paul.. i'm absolutely gutted for you. when i dealt with Buchanan Motors the E30 was running like a swiss watch & in all the time i owned the car it never missed a beat, never a rattle or even a drop of fluid loss from the M42 lump. i found Mark to be an honest enough bloke when i dealt with him. ...

Your a wealth of knowledge mate :) lol.. not at all, ive had help & info from many others in the past :wink: & like my parents always told me "it's nice to be nice" i know the car fairly well so any time i can help with info just ask :) it's not a problem to help out with what answers i can 8) migh...
