E30 Zone

Great looking car, what kind of exhaust are you running?
Too bad about the dear, hope you get it fixed soon!

Danthe --> did you get the STW version? I am also very tempted by the STW scorpion for my chromie cab. Is the length of the tailpipes the same for Le Mans and STW? I contacted Scorpion and they can make a backbox with STW tips, but I will have to wait until they make a new batch of e30 exhausts... O...

I would like to lower my '86 325i cab slightly. Thinking about -35mm, but what brand. I certainly don't want it to be to low, just a bit lower to even out the wheel arches! Anyone has pics to illustrate? Something like this looks good, maybe even too low. It is -35mm KW. http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Grot...

This is truly epic! Congratulations!
I have a similar cab, also fully original 325i.
Is it on mtech springs?

Looks beautiful!

Mileage is getting high, values are going up for good ones (here in Belgium anyway).

I might be looking to replace my E30 318is with some E36 wrongness :o: . Don't really like the E36 styling, even if the coupe is a little nicer than the compact. Because of tax/insurance here in Belgium, i'll stick with a 2 litre engine... Is the M52B20 nice? How about fuel economy. Might be tempted...

Not for sale I'm afraid

Finally presenting my iS, it's mine since 2.5 years after being owned by a german countess and an older belgian woman. I have changed quite alot on this car since I have it, aside from the regular maintenance of a 20 year old car. It now has: - KW -35 spring with B8 Bilsteins - E36 rack - Z3 1.8 sho...

I'm M42 engined, so no oil cooling for me

Been scrolling trough VDO's sender catalogue, nothing available for 170°C scale.
So a regular 150°C won't give an accurate measure?
It would be really handy if it is M12 x 1.5 so it can replace the sump plug...

Long live the search function!
I do have a pressure sensor, with the gauges, not the temp one, but i'm sure i can ork somethin out with an m3 sender.
Thanks for the advice !

Few more questions regarding the install of these audi gauges. From what I've read, the best option for temperature is an E30 M3 temp sensor in place of the sump plug. Then the pressure sensor: why can't the stock pressure sensor from the M42 be used? I read that there is another "hole" in that area...

I want to install a sump guard like this one: http://www.davelength.net/car/skidplate.html
but i can't figure out what a crush nut is (if i google it, it gives met some weird SM scenes

).
So my question: what is the best way to secure this sump guard!
Thanks !

Is it chipped or modded?
Nice figure on an awesome car!

This is seriously epic. Nice supercharger whine!
I would do this in a heartbeat if legislations allowed it here in Belgium. Any idea of the total cost involved?
Congrats !!

If you liked the 1st one with Snyers, then you'll like this one too. It's from the "Tour de Corse" with a nutter called Bernardini...enjoy!

Try ebay.de, new h&r's for around 110â‚¬, add 20â‚¬ of postage to UK and you got yourself some springs!

Greats pictures and Nice house! Congrats on a fantastic looking trip.
Well if you ever go back soon to the Ring, notice it here so I can witness what an S50 touring looks/sounds like. Too bad it's forbidden to swap engines in Belgium

Ha great, I was sure you were on the Zone.
Both great looking cars! The white one was Tim_S's? If I may ask: what were you doing in central brussels? Having a nice trappist beer I hope!

Nice write up, let's see some pics.
I live in Brussels and saw 2 english 318is's (white and grey) and a red vx220, all with "Ring" stickers. Was it you on your way back?

I've just changed the entire timing chain system on my 318is including sprockets, chain, guides, gaskets.... The engine runs fine, but i can hear a slight rubbing noise. Could it just be the new chain and guieds making some noise or should i suspect something else. I have driven the car for 5km and ...

Absolutelu Epic car, seems like you make all the good choices, nice repaint, nice brakes, suspension, tyres....and then the SC-setup, really nice.
Would you ever consider making some SC setups and sell them?
Congrats againg for one if not The nicest Is in the world!

Would indeed be better in a non-cab E30. Good idea tough, i've always secretely dreamed of a E90 2.0d with a tiny chip in an E30....

Very nice car, how much is the suspension dropped? Looks perfect like that!

Hey Guys, I own a '90 318i, it is running great after having a new camshaft installed. I have an exhaust question tough, there don't seem to be a lot of aftermarket exhaust available (Sebring, Supersprint...) but these are expensive and I don't really like how they look. What I would like is the sta...

Hey Bjorn, A buddy of mine just bought your car a few weeks back, he's very happy with it! A question tough: there is a rattling sound coming from the rear left wheel or suspension when you drive over a bump...any idea what it could be? Nice cab you have there! Maybe we should try to organise an e30...

Hey, nice car, got a little question: what kind of exhaust is it? Specific brand or custom made?
Thanks,
Max

Hey Borut, First of all, great looking car, they don't come this clean often these days. I've got a question about your exhaust. Did you modify it? Cause I tought a 325 exhaust has 2 "in" pipes whereas a 318is has only 1. Also congrats on your wheels they look great. Keep the pics coming, Cheers, Max
