E30 Zone

Cheers guys, got to get busy with a tape measure then!!

Can the engines be run without aircon and pas on a modified loom? Looking at images of the motor with all ancillaries it will never fit unless space framing the front end.

It may well work with a modified sump and run the water pump and alternator only.

I am going to measure the frame rails to check clearance but mounting a bit further back in the chassis isn't totally out of the question. If you can get an LS in there, pretty sure a straight 6 will go in

Hi Dan, litterally have a feed from the ignition switch and to the starter motor

Sounds like a plan, can the ecu be mounted in the engine bay or best to have it int the cabin?

Many thanks, Brian. Just to be clear this isn't going in an e30- Triumph GT6, so engine wiring is going to be pretty critical. Ideally on a cost basis keeping the standard ecu will be beneficial so having a stand alone (standard) ecu will be excellent. Just need to get the body off and start choping...

Hi all, considering using the 328i motor from an e36 into a classic car & wanted to know if anyone can help out with basic dimensions - front pulley to leading edge of bell housing - bell housing to end of gearbox - gear lever point- from rear of engine most importantly is the height- I am very rest...

There is so much more to a car's performance than how much hp.

Are you sure thats not per wheel?

I thinks I'd be more worried about the petrol tank!

There was a case in plymouth where they hid a van up on a bank to the right of the road, not visible from 60 metres. One person contested it, it got into the newspaper, all tickets issued by the van in that location were cancelled/refunded. Embankment rd? there always hiding behind the petrol stati...

if you do find you have been done in a 40 zone, its worth going to court & saying sorry in person etc etc... If you just sign the paper & send it off they will more than likely do you over I got caught on a motorway by VASCAR doing an average of 120, I went to court, said I was very sorry & got 6 po...

its probably worth laquring them after too as the stuff does come off after a while...thats what I done to mine anyway

cheers lads, it was going straight to an mot station...but I could'nt get insurance on the bugger-they said I was trading on my policy so I got it trailered for 25 squids...

cheers lads

No mot or tax (does not even run!)

How do I get it back to my garage?
I will be using a solid towing arm & it will be insured for the journey

If I get stopped by the plod, am I covered?

speak to Carl Sorenson Road Sport in Plymouth...
was talking to him the other day about this & I think he was recommending ebc as a good cheap upgrade...(30-50 squids)

& you get stuck in the shit

The stealership is a nightmare, depending who I speak to in parts they are available or they have never been fitted to an e30? :x I have heard they were after market fitmant by the dealers and they do still have them in stock-in Germany. anyone shed...

True, but the beemers dont have a coolant header tank, or self levelling suspension header tank...they have to go somewhere The rest on the right is all MFI w@nk, could have done a better job on the inlet side of things in all honesty...so much spent in development of the chassis, the engine develop...
