Thanks chaps, springs/dampers appear fine . Looks like rear beam bushes could be cause. Will look into costs of upgrading to poly as Car is predominantly for track use. Thanks s

My car appears to lean towards the passenger side. It has always done so since purchase and I've recently upgraded to an H&R kit but the stance remains. I'm not great mecanically but wondered if anyone could shed anylight onto why this may occur? I'm thinking bushes or suspension mount failings?

Got a qoute for £289 for annual cover limited to 2000 miles. Insurer is Reis. I'm still on the lookout tho!

cheers grantorino, will check it out.

Evening all, I have a faulty fog light switch that I need to replace or refurbish. I've trawler the forum for a guide to dismantling the switch but to no avail, can anyone help?

Sorry wrong topic! 'twas a dodgy fuse, will wait to see if it goes again

Found it! Dodgy switch, just need to source another or rebuild it- how? Cheers

?!?! Don't think a battery should have anything to do with the rev counter?

Just started up my car and the gauges, bar the speedo, has packed up - no temp, no fuel, no revs. The revs do register for a couple of secOnds then dies. Any ideas chaps?

Hello Chaps,
Do any of you have any advice as to how to insure my track day car in the cheapest possible way. I only require cover for driving to and from trackdays (not on track). I normally do about 6 events per yer.
Thanks
Scott

thank you very much. all sorted.

Is the tech 1 front bumper removal process the same as that of a facelift car..ie. two t55 torx bolts and slide off?

Your car sounds great Al, did you notice any real gains from the exhaust and manifold? do you know how loud it is? LPG sounds interesting too, I take it you intend on keeping the car for some time then. My Dad has bought an absolutely mint pre-facelift 325i which could benefit from LPG ~ did it cost...

Hello Al, hope you and the misses are well. My E30 is now a dedicated track car (sorn) and in need of a bit of TLC having spent the last 24 months being hammered around various tracks up and down the country. I've just ordered new rear wings, a pair of fronts (second hand) and a new exhaust. I'm mea...

thanks for your help chaps.

is the perfect answer. Thanks Dezzy, hence our problem with getting them to sit properly!

Help! I have a Tech 1 Sport which requires two new rear wings. The car registration is 'E' which is 1988 (correct me if wrong) and I've always considered the car to be a pre-facelift but I am now begining to wonder. Hadrians provide two different rear wing profiles, one pre-1987 and one post 1987 wh...

benn toying with g60 wheels for ages. banded just look ridiculously sick

My old man will be giving his 325 its competion debut tomorrow at Castle Combe. Its his stock daily with a cheap set of springs but should be fun.

could be worth a watch.

I like the idea of having some drilled out units, might do that!

its a bit of a track slag djk and I could get the the facelift stuff for free.

Cheers John, will a later unit algin with the rear wheelarch ok as I'm aware that they are a slightly different profile?

I'm guessing the different brackets would be relatively simple to fit, just drill a few new holes?!

Well I had a look yester. Ones a four pot and the other a six but both are very poor indeed. Moor brambles than you can believe and the 'owner' is unsure as to wheter he wants to part with them :evil: Will let you know if anything comes of it but here's a question, will a facelift rear bumper fit on...

will let you know how I get on. Cheers

great stuff. cheers

I've found two e30's in a field. One is engineless and the other is a six cylinder unit but I dont know if its a 20 or 25? Is there an easy way to identify which engine is which?

The car is stripped out so the rear will be lighter but would be surprised if this would result in raising ride height by 2 inches! Dezzy ~ thanks for your comments, the car has the smallest rear spring pads (5mm); I guess you still have pads on your car? Crying out for a quality rear spring, I trie...

Thanks for the replies. I had no idea that the rear wheel arch was different to later models and explains my problem fully. The car runs 15" wheels with 205x50 tyres. The car has settled and I'm pleased witht eh way the kit has improved the handling of my car (has done a couple of track days like it...

Its an 88 pre facelift so you think it will sit higher then?

fair point, will sort tom.

the ride height of my car is killing me. I have an H&R cup kit with a 60/40 drop but the rear of the car looks like its only had about a 20mm drop at the most. The front is super low with a stupid high ass. I bought the kit as a complete package to provide my track car with a purpose designed handli...

cheers RPM will take a look.

Nickso, thanks for the info. My car is black and the rear wings have gone around the radius and thought this may be a great way of addresing the issue and adding a bit of individualism to the car. I think they look great! My car is track only so finish aint what it needs to be for a daily but I stil...

Cheers Geoff, I'm astounded at the limited towing capacity of the hi-lux! My car is stripped out but I think it could be worth sticking it on the scales to get an accurate idea of whats required.

Cheers Uwe, I've been doing the maths this morning. I appreciate your comments and am not someone who under estimates what's involved. On reflection I'll probaly be looking to purchase a new Brian James Clubman and tow it with my bro's hilux.
