Pretty good, jumping to pages from the list view could be easier with slightly bigger finger friendly buttons. No othrr problems so far.

Feels a bit weird not having a load of opinions jump all over this! Haven't seen many project cars sell so don't have an idea what the market is like at the mo.

Keep, break or sell whole..

Seeing a long road ahead I'm toying with selling my e30. Its a little bit of a frankenstein but here what I've got so far... I haven't finished with what I would like but I also just don't drive it. If its not worth much because its a bit rough and modded I'll keep it but if in this state I could ge...

Re: Which E30 would you buy for £10-14k? 325i or 318is perh

I've had 2 e30s - a 318iS and a 325i. They are different to drive and the iS is a fun and more economical driver. the iS was only made over a 2 year period to compete with the golf GTI and failed. It was a marketing term used at the time to call it the baby M3 as it was a 4 pot and took some good po...

Avoid Fritz and Grants like the plague. I lived in Taunton for 5 years and used both. For Hampshire I used Iridium Engineering outside Southampton but does depend on where you are as to what is convenient.

Re: Tech 1 to Tech 2 Steering Wheel

No idea if the e46 wheel will fit (I very much doubt it..) but bear in mind it is much chunkier than the tech2 e30 wheel. Go for the smaller diameter if you can 375mm I think but that's £80-150 for 2nd hand. You can get smaller diameter such as some of the Alpina ones but very rare. Can't help you w...

Re: Battery chargers

I just use this...



And periodically plug the battery in, did it about 3 times over 6 months and its still going on the car. As long as the battery isn't wired in the car the charge shouldn't dissipate too quickly.

Re: LSD Units - Ask me anything.

When I had my 325i ('89) converted to manual Eko fitted a 2.0l gearbox. My question is what LSD ratio would you recommend? I was hoping it would be 3.91... From what I've read this would keep it pretty punchy - its a weekend toy now so want to lean more toward the acceleration rather than top speed...

Or just return it to original colour...which is black?

Bit like selling a house, go for the colour that will give the biggest appeal...and as much as I don't mind that colour, I doubt brown sells!

Carl, if you do decide to take it to somewhere else, I can recommend http://www.iridiumengineering.co.uk/ I've found Sean to be a solid guy who knows his stuff and loves E30s! Not sure how easy it'll be to get the car there if the engine is in bits but it is another option.
