Right will do thank you

Hi guys, my central locking has suddenly died. Was working perfectly now nothing. I can here the relay click when I manually press the drivers door pin inside the car. Any suggestions before I start ripping it apart? Fyi dosent work from any door lock now inc boot or interior pins. Thanks in advance...

Thank you!

Looking into a direct and hopefully easy swap. Question is do I need the tank mounted m20 fuel pump or will my m40 be ok? Thanks Alex

Hi all, sorry if already done to death - I have looked with no success.

Which hoses for e46 purple tag steering rack into e30? Standard e30 bent a bit or e36?

Thanks in advance

ok thanks for the quick reply. How about the other way around, ie m40 man box (getrag 240???) to the 325i? I presume looking at the wiki pages that the box will fit, but what about diff and prop? Thanks again, Alex

As above, will m20 manual box fit m40? Reason for this is eventually I will drop in an m20 and don't want to have to buy another box. Any suggestions on prop and diff? Thanks in advance. Alex

bump - still need this! Thanks

haha id love to. But it wont be happening sorry!

Hi all, I am trying to make my future wifes day by using an e30 as our wedding car. Its 9th August this year, obviously I will pay for car and driver. I asked ages ago, but didn't get much offered. I'm really keen for any, chromie early model, mtec, 2 or 4 door, m3 etc etc. Wedding at 11 30 and woul...

Still looking, north west anyone? After anything really immaculately tidy, from M3 to 316i, not bothered, just mint. Will pay for expenses and obviously you to drive us to reception (approx 1 mile) and to take new wife to registry office. Alex

9th August 2014

Cheers for the responses!

Hi all,

Im getting married in August, and obviously want the bridal car to be a smart e30, any ideas folks? I will provide payment and expenses for the day. Im based in Southport, any suggestions?

Cheers

I urgently need a flywheel to fit an m10 1.8. Can anyone help!Thankyou Alex

nice point - 58mph in 2nd really does my head in. When you say cheap what are we talking? Can I fit it with my limited electronic skills? Do you know any prefered suppliers? Thanks Alex

Is there any point to chipping a 318is? If so what are the likely gains/costs etc? Thankyou Alex

I know a m10 fly will bolt onto a m30, but will an m30 fly bolt to an m10? Will it physically fit into the m10 box? Its a long story as to why! Thankyou Alex

just read your post aceraf, cheers for that.Alex

I feel so bad for hijacking the zone, but anyone else????

As an owner of an e30 and a e36 I use both forums, like a few of us. However I havn't been able to acess e36coupe.co.uk for 2 days. Anybody else had this problem? Sorry for having nothing to do with the zone!Alex

Intrested, my m30 project has been on hold now for months, been really busy, but defo intrested. How on earth did you get the blueprints?Alex

I disagree, Im half way through a m30 3.0 conversion at the moment, the engine etc was cheap and externally the 3 and 3.5 are the same so when the time comes to change it should be a straightforward swap. However you will need an e34 sump and oil pickup, manual box etc. If the 730 is cheap enough th...

Thats so sh%t. Sorry to here that mate. Im in the Southport area, will keep my eye out. Have you any photos? Have you told the police?Alex

hey everyone, sorry about the misleading thread. Basicly I work with this kid who absolutly cremes of his 1million trillion bhp civic turbo. He dosnt seem to understand when I inform him that civics are poo, front wheel drive and have no charicter whatsoever. Does anyone else have anoying experience...

Yes you should. Although they might not squeel at the moment, they may do in the future. All the squeel is vibration of the pad at such a frequency thay it squeels, if you get me. Copper grease ensures this wont happen, even under heavy aplication of the brakes. BMW mechanics (and most mechanics) us...

whoopy doo. Ill have a fire extingisher (sp?) ready and ill pray!

Diamondblacke28 - I think it will be ok, it seems pretty strong, what type of metal would you recomend?

update time, havnt finished the mounts, I decided to have a go at sorting the rusty battery tray. I definitly opened up a can of worms with this one, I removed the pedal box, to gain proper access. All good so i thort, weld a plate in job done......ill just move this carpet as its a fire hazzard.......

hey ppl, any tips to removing the pedal assembly?Im trying to sort the battery tray which has bad rust, and i need to remove the pedals to weld the replacement. Thanks in advance Alex

Yeh they are very nice!

fair enuf, i think my fave is dolphin grey (first fast e30 i went in when i was 14 - hooked ever since), but maybe lachs silver. I agree that helrot red on 318is and touring is perfect, i sell paint where i work and the most common we sell is alpine white. dunno why tho....

(can somone who understands the forum do a poll please???)

What is the 'best' e30 colour?Tried to do a poll, couldnt work it out!
Mine is alpine white, but my favorite - lachs silver. How about you lot???

Yeh the welds are crappy, im new to this welding lark, the main stress points, ie the top and bottom have been 'properly' welded, i only welded the brace parts if you get me. Oh well if it brakes whats the worst that can happen.Actually PLEASE dont answer that!Cheers Alex
