E30 Zone

hi has anyone taken their clocks out and put in their own gauge cluster, is so is there any wiring diagrams available, as wanting to put my own clocks into my car, will have an mot so will be using indicators ect, thanks.

wish i could make this meet, but getting married the next day so no chance. maybe next time when there is one. hope its a good evening for all that are going.

if the misses reads this she will kill me as i have to use her car at the moment, 1987 bmw track car- half way through engine rebuild as ran to much boost, 1981 mitsubishi lancer turbo - half way through complete bare shell restore, 1981 mitsubishi lancer in storage- imported it from new zealand, 19...

sprits sounds fun, do you have any websites or details of the sports libra class. thanks .

one for all you racers out there, ive got an e30 with a 2litre turbo mitsi engine in it, its built to a high spec, with 4pots, stripped out, suspension ect. im trying to find a race champioship that i may be able to race it in, circuit not rally, is there anything out there that may allow different ...

thats an awesome picture. where is it from? who built it. any more pictures of in?

hi yes i could do these for you. pm me on quanity and any other details.
regards nigel.

hi ijahn2000 i make and sell alloy fuel tanks to go in the spare wheel well. they use the oem sender unit, and come with an aero style filler cap, roll over valve and can be foam filled using FIA spec foam, and have a removeable inspection cover. if you can pm me your email address i can send you a ...

hi zerocool i was the one the made the spare wheel tank for the touring, they are designed to bolt in, as in the picture. they are baffled and foam filled, and use the oem bmw sender unit. its the same as the one shorty posted up. i can also make custom ones to customer requirements. hope this is of...

i used perspex for some rear windows on a ren5, and they scratched very easily, so i went back to a local plastics company and got some poly carbonate ones made up, just took them the old ones and they cut them to shape, was about £40. and they dont stratch as easily and are harder wearing.. thickne...

im converting my fronts to coil overs but unsure what lbs spring to use. its a 316 shell, stripped out, fibreglass bonnet, and a 4 cylinder engine in it, (non bmw).
would like to know what lbs springs do people use and what open lenght are they. thanks.

i would like to replace my frontera 4x4 with a tow car, but cant seem to find anything good. was thinking of a 325td e36 but i think there over the tow capacity, what about a 525td, is that any good? thanks.

do it if you can, although price does depend on how much you can do yourself. need to think about sump, mounts gearbox, water cooling and propshaft mods. as well. ive seen a few in mk2 escorts now. i fitted a 2litre mitsubishi lancer turbo engine into my e30, very good power to weight. and nothing w...

thanks for all the info,

i was speaking to x-sport this week. they make cages for a few of the pbmw cars, and very well priced. i think there mainly weld in ones thought.

i dont know how to add my name to the list, but can someone be kind enough to add my name and james3320 name to the list please. thanks.

im thinking of putting a 325 flywheel on my newly acquired 318is, as ive been old the flywheel on a 325 is lighter. what other parts do i need, i know clutch, but do i need a 325 starter as well. thanks.

i would agree with uwem3 on the pump set up. if you put the swirl pot in the spare wheel well then used an alloy cover, your boot would remain useable. will sort some pics out next week of the set up. or an enclosor should work just as well. hi oldroydsr4 you shouldnt have this problem as the tank i...

hi theo ive just started making these for a few pbmw racers, dave kear uses the standard lift pump and the standard external pump on the swirl pots. if you dont have a lift pump in your tank, then you can use a facet red top lift pump, then the standard external pump as a feed from the pot to the fu...

thanks jason for the mention,i have made quite a few inlets now, hardest one was on the e30 m50 tourer thats doing the rounds on here. engine builder wise, try pete whitfield at www.whitfieldraceengines.co.uk he mainly does 700bhp japan stuff but also has alot of got background with other cars.

heres another pic of mine and james cars together at his farm. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee57/nigel79/bmw4g63/DSCF1121.jpg looks like i will be busy sorting a bigger intercooler out for this thing. its definatly one of the quickest cars ive been in. and that was before the remap. think we w...

heres a few of mine, first car i put together when i was quite young, been sitting for a while in my mums garage, finally got it out. looks a bit of a dog from the outside, but its what is under the bonnet that counts. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee57/nigel79/bmw4g63/DSCF1115.jpg http://i230....

i have just recieved a PM from shorty73, as we are going to be sponsoring his race car this season. we are going to try and get one on his car to test on the track, and dyno if possible. we can and will flow bench the heads before and after to show the results.

hi oze30
yes we can, but unfortunalty we dont have one as an exchange unit, so you would need to send one to us.

we are now able to offer fully ported and polished cylinder heads, ideal for track and race use. they are also skimmed and pressure tested as well. we are able to get these done by a professional engine builder who has many years experience in formula1, indy car and nascar and used to work for illmo...

the car is very quick, i provided all the alloy products for it, even the inlet manifold which was hand made, and also helped with the emerald ecu. was at the dyno with james and it sounded lovely, hardly any lag with that turbo. enigine advantages said there was another 150bhp to be had on that tur...

hi oze30 afriad i cant baffle any sumo unless i have the block and pick up so i know clearance will be ok. if your engine is out being rebuild then i could.

i can get an m20 and a 24v 325 sump so they can be used as exchanges.

995kgs, thats very good, is that still with oem doors and metal front wings. so with fibreglass panels all round it could be less. would be nice if youve got any more pics of it. thanks.

on my old track car, i cut the spare wheel well out and made an alloy fuel tank to put there. it was lighter than the steel wheel well, plus i got to save the weight from removing the oem fuel tanks. with the rear seats out, my car used to sit high at the rear, even with 60mm springs. had to put coi...

hi the automotive one is being designed at the moment, but theres alot more to it, as we have alot of projects on the go that we would like to include.

hi all
we have now completed the first of our websites. although this one is mainly for the welding side of the company, not the automotive, it gives an idea what can do. site is www.cdh-uk.com or click on link below. thanks
regards nigel.

hi guys best to contact me, price depends on what you want. turn around is approx 1 week.

im not sure what type of track le mans is, but i would recommend the sump for any track days.

hi furbster the current turn round is approx 1 week. if its for track days then i would recommend having the extra capicty added as well.
regards nigel.
