E30 Zone

I saw this the other day parked outside Tesco's on Drake Rd, lovely lovely car, my missus had to call me back to the car cos I was admiring it for too long

I like that - don't normally like those wheels on the e30, but seems to work on this one. Change the exhaust though! As stated, looks very clean, nice colour too.

Look up Jags bodyshop in Ilford Essex, he quoted me £500 to fit and spray a tech 2 kit and his work is excellent.

Nice car dude - hey you know that guy with the satin black e30 don't you - man I wish I could get that done! so

Don't get yellows if your driving is fast road at best, as they wont perform to full potential, greens will fade on a track quickly, but ok for road use, reds prob the ones to go for if you want best of both.

Would a 3.64 work with this? Cos I have one I don't need but wasn't sure if it would be suitable.

I remember that swedish cab - that was

if I find it ill post the link, was a while back though!

Nice car though dude, but lose the eyebrows.

No offence taken mate - although someone somewhere must know how to increase displacement and at the same time lower compression - I tell you what, I'll trade a pic of my head exploding next to a mayonaised m20 for the answer!

Maybe speak to the guy and see how many you would need to get a discount, and how much discount that would be - people tend to sign up once they know a definite price, and also once they know how many people are needed for the price. I for one may be interested in this, but I would want to know what...

I can find a pic of one if that makes you feel better

Yeah sorry about that - read the title back to myself and realised that may be what alot of people were expecting! I will be using forged pistons and rods for sure, the issue is the crank is cast on m44, wheras if I use m47 that is forged, so will be more robust. I am unsure as to whether I will hav...

Yeah they have quite a following amongst the m42/m44 lot - from what I can tell they build some excellent engines, not dealt with them personally but heard many good things.

I have an m44 engine that I basically want to extract more power from, and have been looking into stroking it using the m47 crank etc. What I am having trouble getting my head around is compression ration and piston heights etc, as I am not very sure about what is needed. What I want to achieve is t...

Without forced induction you may be able to get towards 200bhp, alot of work though., as I have looked into this myself For instance: m47n crank 90mm stroke bore to 86mm m3 pistons decked 3.8mm m3 300cc injectors uprated cams itb's exhaust live map panel filter/induction kit That would be alot of wo...

I had some on mine - then realised they were s*** (after about 20 minutes)

Was in PBMW a month or so ago, (which prob explains why he thought it would sell itself) and obviously they said the car was great etc etc. I do remember reading the black engine bay has been done puposefully, it is starting to become a bit of a trend (something nicked from the vw scene) I would lik...

£6000? For an ex-submarine with a steering wheel?

W****R.

Wow - now that is tidy!

No practicality whatsoever............ bit like a cossie engine in an e30

The ashtray panel is prob the most practical choice tbh.

Could always put them here..............

Should be back from the good old lake district in time to catch this!

need left and right engine mounts for 318is
(swapping into a 316i, so not 100% sure on exactly what part numbers - sorry!)

Also, part numbers 11131715120 & 11131715266

Cheers.

Big bore throttle body, and then chip after if you have the cash left

Thats good news - thanks mate - will have to look at swapping them over if possible then!

Where is OB's? Do you happen to know how much would he want for the sump? Will struggle to collect though (having no car!)

Dammit, can't seem to find it on real oem - I'm being a "special" at the moment!

I hope you can just use m42 sump, but wanted to get that confirmed before I go out looking for one thats all.

M40 sump may be different, I have an idea..... real oem

Ok, I'm in the middle of an m44 conversion at the mo, engine is in and running, only on the existing 316 mounts as a temp measure. The problem we are having is the sump - it is the wrong way round, and it means we are going to have to modify the anti roll bar, as it was designed to sit round the old...

Its a custom colour if I'm not mistaken, he mixed it himself - looks even better in the flesh (or should i say metal!)

It's kind of difficult to explain, but I want to freshen the car up, but still keep that retro 80's look, as a sort of homage to it's heyday.
I'm even thinking of retaining a SMALL amount of chrome

By the way guys, I have your pm's - once the other shots are done I will send them to you - should only be a couple of days.

Also, I will e-mail pics to anybody else who wants them, just pm me your details.

Cheers guys.

Hey guys, got a few more pics done, and also resized the other two, I do have a few more, so will get those up, prob tomorrow.

I do like that colour combo - I will have to do a photoshop of it for sure to see how it looks. Thanks for that mate.

Bet those lights are pretty darn bright once you get them all switched on!

Thanks guys, I'll be posting some more up tonight if I get time.

hope the ride home wasnt too scary and noisy mick lol

No scarier or noisier than the c2c mate! lol! (Thanks again!)

P.S loved your exit from my road by the way!

I was thinking lachs, or dolphin maybe - after what fozzy said - don't suppose you have any pics of it by any chance?

I'm still struggling with this as well - I think I may use it as my wallpaper on my mac, just in case I ever need reminding of what happens when you style your car after watching an episode of blue peter.
