E30 Zone

Cheers guys. E46 rack it is then.

Ok, I know this has been covered loads of times but could someone list exactly what parts I will need to fit e36 steering rack onto my e30 89 325i sport. My old rack is knackered so thought this would be ideal time to upgrade.

Many thanks.

p.s, any pics would be heplful.

Hi.. can someone please give me the torque wrench settings for the rocker cover on a M20 engine in a 525i, and the setting for the big bolt that holds the oil filter housing onto the block. cheers

PLEASE HELP. I am trying to source a material supplier so I can re-upholster my car. I already know where I can get leather from but I am after some standard interior fabric, any ideas?

HELP

. I have just fitted some new leads to my 325i sport but when I started the car after fitting them my alarm activated and the immobiliser cut the engine. Now whenever I try to start the car the same thing happens!!!!!?????

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Can anyone help? I am trying to locate a supplier of upholstery fabric suitable for a BMW. I have tried the dealers and the fabric I am after is no longer available through them.

Any idea where I might get it preferably in the UK?

Thanks.

Thanks for the comments guys. As to my arm.......well I was happily finishing and polishing up the rim of one of my original bbs wheels.

Ok, been getting some of the bodywork sorted. Started with the big hole I found in the osr arch. Took it to a mates workshop. Am really pleased with the job he done. Also got it done for mates rates winkeye . http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e217/younp/000_0002-6.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albu...

looking real good matey, how much you dropping it 60/40 or 80 all round. -80 would look smooth for the stealth, unless you have speed bumps round your manor. oh and nice cut 8) Will probally lower 60/40 to start with. See how that looks. Plenty of speed humps in my town :-x . Thanks for your commen...

Thanks. Lowering is the next mod.

Ok, time for update on my progress with my sport. Unfortunately due to a small incident with a cutting tool I was unable to do anything for 5 weeks :( . If you are squeamish please do not view this image, http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e217/younp/20072007085.jpg Got some new shoes which I think l...

Ok, thanks. Will check these and see if they are the problem. Hopefully not to expensive to fix.

Help, when i turn my steering wheel i get a strange sort of creaking sound? Really obvious at low speed or when pulling off.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e217/younp/000_0012.jpg Looking good - although I'd budget for a new front tyre and some alignment judging by your OSF! Wheels will look SWEET when all done! 8) Go for BMW badges - more authentic... :D Maybe black & silver ones like the bonnet/boot roundels? winkey...

Ok, I have been cleaning and undersealing the car. Still have some small areas to do. Unfortunatley I have found a whole in my rear offside arch which will need to be sorted befor I can underseal the arch. :( I have managed to find two doors which are the same colour as my car :D . http://i40.photob...

Another quick update. I have started to clean and apply new underseal. Messy job but worth doing. I will get some pics up soon.

Wll eventually have whole car resprayed in original colour. Loads of other things planned. Will keep updating as I prog...

You can waste hours doing that!

Cheers, car is pretty good and want to keep it that way. A beer sounds like a good idea.

Thanks Hyperion, going to take week off work soon so I can really get stuck into it.

Thanks for the ideas on the problem everyone. I will have a look at sorting it asap. Think i will start with the AFM. Only just changed plugs and that didnt cure it.

smithy318i, been reading the thread. Cheers.

Ii would acutally leave the 325 badge off the back, looks smooth with no badges and much neater.

I agree, the hella ones look great.

Still cant decide bout badge. might trial fit to see how it looks.

Cheers.

Help please, between 2000-2500rpm in any gear I get a kangerooing feeling from the car? Any idea what might be causing this

Looking good. Gonna do the all red lights on mine too. I did have smoked ones but they lookd a bit rubbish tbh. Keep up the good work. I do like the red, especially on a darker coloured car.

Great looking car :D ,is it diamond black? How much is it costing for the work and respray as I need to get mine done? Thanks and yes it is diamond black and its costing me Ã‚£1250 for the panel and paint with me doing the strip and fitting and thats with a discount! Alot of money but well worth it...
