Where abouts are you? I know a man who will give a good quote but they are in Southampton area.

If you look under the Articles section at the top and in the technical menu. You will find information for removing and refitting the on board computer. Should tell you everything you need to know.

by the way... this should probably be in the 'technical help' section

Now thats some mad ass funny sh1t!!!

Not far from Blackburn. about 15 miles.

picking up and taking where?

I am in Lancashire area and will be going back to Southampton on the 28th.

managed to get 100 out of the semi hightop long wheelbase refrigerated sprinter van.

Thats some nice work people!

242kph is 150.38mph NICE.

try the M1. thats a good road. i go from j14a to j42 and back the otherway about once a month. plenty of room there!!! (of course i stick to 70mph)

Kos wrote:145mph in 4th and still pulling like peter stringfellow in a girls school!!

now thats a fast sounding motor car. nice work kos.
did you build the car yourself?

What sort of top speeds have you seen out of your motor? Have managed to see 145mph on the clock in my 325i (not on a public highway, obviously :lol: that would be illegal) got a video of the clocks somewhere. will try and find it. reckon it would have squeezed out another 5mph before hitting the li...

Possibly a very nosey question to ask, but why is anyone wanting to know about this car? Is it just for the badge or has it been seen behaving inappropriately?

Good point.

1987 - E reg
just under 180,000 miles
Don't really have any service history, although I had it serviced shortly after buying it nearly a year ago.
Has some rust on the n/s/r arch and a little on the sunroof.
new engine mounts and has just been washed.

Opinions please!!! How much would you say it's worth? it is a red 4 door model with 17" multispoke alloys (resently refurbished in a silver and flip) 205/40/17 tyres that are almost new. Mtech 2 spoiler, Recaro front seats. (drivers seat a bit worn), White plasma dials (the numbers light up blue and...

The red e30 in worthing to which you are refering originated in Southampton and belonged to my mate Rob, who put the 'e30' badge on the back. I believe it now lives in Lancing but am unsure where. It is a 325i. (engine added by myself and Rob) the badge is actually from a merc!

He is at Hound farm. There are two industrial estates there. From Tescos in Bursledon go down hamble lane until you get to the third roundabout (including the one outside tesco) then take 2nd exit. The second industrial estate on the right and follow through the gates past Abbey autos. He is in unit...

Trade Only in Hamble. Currently have a resto job on a 323i on the go as well as a love for the cars. Do a good job at a good price. I've known the owner for years and I sometimes help out. Might be worth you getting a quote.

Am running the standard rubber mounts. At the risk of sounding a little on the simple side... I didn't know changing to solid mounts was an option. Does the engine not need the rubber mounts then? It's mainly used as a road car, doesnt see the track very often. Altough it doesn't get a simathetic li...

Good stuff. Had a quick look on there, can't see them but will phone them during the week.

Cheers.

I will be installing new engine mounts today and then back on the road. I also had to get the car recovered back to Southampton (not cheap!!!) on tha back of a low loader. Not entirely sure if they were the AA but was arranged through them on the phone.

Well. Was a good day (I suppose) For some reason there was no lap times though. The unfortunate part of the day came when I got a nice bit of open track and was on a flyer! until the engine decided it wanted to part with its mounts and try and leave the car through the radiator :cry: The car returne...

Definatly going. Its booked.

Both myself and my mate Rob have booked up to go to Brands Hatch next Saturday (28th) for their 'Novice' Track day in our 325's.

Just thought i'd put this post up in case anyone else was up for it.

Its crazy. I've seen the Brighton meet posted before. Do many show up? and is it just a weekday thing?

I drive to Brighton and Worthing everyday and the number of E30's I see is incredible. There seems to be more there than anywhere else.

Are many of the owners enthusiasts?

Does anyone know more about this strange phonomenon?

Congratulations.

You can also get the whole thing out with gear stick still attached. Did it the other weekend. good luck.

I have a few cars sat around for sale at the moment if they are of any interest to you mate? They are in the 'e30's for sale' section.

Am in the middle of changing a 316i auto into a 325i manual and thats not too bad. Just a couple of small details to change. Wiring, fuel pump and a few other bits. Not sure on the differences from auto to manual on a 325 though.

Good luck anyway.

Yep, Should keep us busy for a few days. I think the main concern at the momnet is the wiring loom and having to remove the dash to change it. I haven't looked at it yet but Rob say's it could be difficult.

Cheers mate. I've certainly got a bit more confidence in doing tohe job now.

My friend Rob has a 316i auto and has recently got hold of a 325i with a rotten shell. The plan is to change the engines and all running gear, suspension, brakes etc... Was just wondering if anyone had any tips or know of any problems we may encounter whilst doing this? Any info could be a big help....

Fair enough. Will you be coming along to any of the meets. Perhaps the event at Rockingham in May. Possibly not to far from you.

Nice motor. So whats your plans for the new one then?

Cool cool. I've been looking forward to those ones. still have to get a few more myself. think there is a couple of vids aswell.

Any plans for doing this one again by the way?
