E30 Zone

If you want fast road tires you may as we'll go to Yoko's, I run them on mine at 28psi and they stick like s**t to a blanket.
If you need to increase the pressure to "get rid of the sloppy feel" would suggest the side walls of the tire are the problem.

Photos, picture paints a thousand and all that!

I've always thought this was down to the fuel rail absorbing the heat of the engine when shut off causing low pressure, until when cranking the rail pressure is restored then whooa there she goes.

mine goes first turn when cold, 5-10s or so when warn/hot

I should be there by about 8

foggy

I'll be coming but without my motor (no tax)

A quickie regarding the dim/dip relay could you piggy back this to run the normal headlamps and the driving lamps at the same time ie. have the four headlights on sidelight mode only or would it be to much for the resistor

foggy

Just a quickie you can change the rockers without lifting the head or removing the cam belt, you have to remove the front grill and rad dizzy cap and jiggle the engine but if it saves disturbing gaskets it's worth it and GSF also sell the rockers and cams for around £10.

Nice option but another to look into is removing the M6 studs and replacing with stainless pan head allen bolts. It looks sweet

Foggy

If you've changed the sparks and there is sill no joy, it could be a short or tracking problem on the no.2 lead or in the dizzy cap or if you drive it like you stole it as all E30's should be you may have dropped a rocker it's common on hard driven m20's as the design of the rocker is poor at best, ...

Cheers will try that

Hi Guys, My ABS light comes on after driving for a meter or a mile if it doesn't come on the braking force is greatly reduced and will then come on violently on one side (drivers) pulling the car in the same direction, if the light is on braking force is normal but with no anti-lock. My assumption i...

The only thing you couldn't buy wih a cheque book for an i is the black headlining everything else was an option from the stealership

I'm currently running a boosted M20 10psi with approx 280 BHP and over 300 ft/lb with a piggy back BBR ECU and standard internals only real mechanical problem I have is destroying rockers, but it does run lean at cruise and full throttle with but not enough for pinking with 99 oct fuel

Me as well. Foggy 325i Garret t4 260bhp going for megasquirt I think

My experience with actuators and early turbo's are they come with a pneumatic actuators i.e. Use turbo pressure to work on a sprung diaphragm to open the bypass valve and limit how much pressure delivered, the use of electric actuators with newer turbo applications is misleading, the method of limit...

Don't know if this has been said but get every photo that shows off your car looking spotless, get BM club secretaries to value it or trophies from shows and also find the nearest car/s for sale that are similar and get your insurance company assessor to come and look at your car show him the detail...

I wouldn't mind a coolant set, my engine bay needs it.

What's the damage

no, would love to get one though. it also needs a good clean as you can see

I looked in the bentley manual for final drive oil spec. but it said go to BMW but they will give me the standard stuff does anybody know what is the best to put in any help would be great.

I've always wanted to put porsche turbo wheels on my E30, I think they would look fine!

I know he didn't say it, but as the old quote goes.
Henry Ford had it right you can have any colour you want as long as it's BLACK

V nice and that really is the only colour 325's should be

Cheers guys, I would go back to the dealer but I'm running 2.5 turbo and it was formed from the inlet pre-turbo to the air idle valve when built. Ill drop SFS an E-mail

Again cheers..........

Does anyone out there know where I can get a rubber hose formed to replace a damaged hose on my engine. Preferred location would be South Wales.

If noobies are allowed on the stand, all things going well I will be there with my turbo and it will be clean by then I hope

I'm with Miniblob air is the only way to go best of both worlds

Has anybody got lamps like these if so do they look good

thanks for looking

Why swap the unmatch sound of a straight 6 for a poxy 4 pot and it is a poxy 4 pot F**d (God I can even type it)had to get somebody else to build it for them (all of them burn oil by the mile if it's diesel or not). If you want big power spend less by adding a hover to a 2.5 or if you want a 4x4 an ...

I'm going to have to do some serious thinking about this, also which is the best replacement fuel pump and injectors to go for. I'm hoping to use the bosch oem system but reprogrammed with also a wideband by a tuning firm called MSD(motor sport developements) in England

Thanks Foggy

Hi everyone, I would like to build the perfect turbo engine for my '88 325i. I was going to try to keep to block and crank standard but refurbed and balanced, what are the best rods and pistons to go for, I'm looking for about 400whp, also what size injectors to go for and has anybody use 666 fabs e...
