E30 Zone

can i just say how much im enjoying this post,fascinating stuff keep it up and good luck with the project theo

im assuming youve started wth the easy stuff like radiator,water pump and checked the small header tank pipe for blockages!

on the home straight now gary,looks like a brilliant job cant wait to see it

do it once and do it right,fit a new cam,rockers and shafts,job done

spot on e30 beemerlad,guy round the corner from me had a tuned evo 9 gt,he used to go racing superbikes as performance was similar,it was fun until he clipped a bike at 90mph and was done for dangerous driving losing his license for a year.

that is def finished,ive had lots of 02's and thats one of the worst ive seen.not sure its a tii either as it should have a round clock to the left of the instruments and as someone says has lost its injection motor,rare zender bodykit though and they look great.

that sounds like a well sorted 02,i had a tii which used to scare the shit out of me when it was wet! i learned a lot about oversteer then

my best e30 dual - standard 200bhp m3 driving down slip road something pulls in behind me travelling quickly lights on so cant make out what it is,onto dual carraigeway and i floor it shit its coming past me,silver subaru impreza wagen with huge exhaust an import with its square number plate,i catch...

i like the way he's proudly displaying the tit of the day trophy on the roof

get yourself a workshop manual and just remember its nuts and bolts,its not difficult but it can be time consuming if your a virgin,id say its a 3 but as someone else said if your not happy to set your valve clearances dont even think about it,good luck mate

the name rimstock came to mind so 100+ sounds spot on,you guys are good !

lucky sod,been a while since ive been but its an amazing place be prepared to get completely hooked,oh and take it easy its very costly if you go off! & keep your eye on your mirrors some very quick stuff will be there at that time of year,have fun

i know this car,it belonged to a friend who sold it to a local guy recently,he spent a bit of cash getting the bodywork work right but fitted aftermarket springs when a front one broke iirc it was euro car parts springs he fitted :eek: ,i have the other 3 original springs in my workshop,your right a...

maybe check the thermostat is still there,if not expect the worst

13.64 seems fine to me,did you fit the new battery to your car and then have to charge it? as a new battery shouldnt need charged,if the car has drained the battery that would explain why its dropping voltage.

eh,open it up? why would you want to do that its only an old m30 we're talking about here.

first ones are awfull,get a grip man! and yeah i agree borbets are better but way too big.say 100 times 16,16,16 etc

either 245 bhp or 260 for the later( b10) engine.probably worth Ã‚£500

get the springs from a dealer,they are not too expensive about Ã‚£80 each iirc

what made you think it was the motor? a motor can only turn if it has a feed.has to be your stalk.ps Ayrshore where are you from?only asking as im from ayrshire.

you have removed the 3 bolts from the bottom of the strut havnt you?

think you have a case for a refund but only because they lied to you about the part fitted,they would get more discount from gsf so probably paid about Ã‚£80 for the pump so have doubled the price which is about right for a business,you should have asked for an estimate to repair it as you didnt the...

sounds well dodgy mate,i would be checking the tightness of the wheel bolts and cleaning the hub faces,it could be the wheel is not flush on the hub.if not that the tyre company have bent a steering rod or something.good luck

so obviously a scam im surprised you had to ask

your right in thinking that imports dont have the engine number logged.

they wheels aint the same mate look at the centres,might be borbets but certainly not those ones.

similar to e28 m535,michelin made an unusual size of tyre,i assume they done a deal with bmw to supply them and you had to buy michelin when they were worn out,very clever but they were rubbish in the wet very dangerous,if you look closely at the pictures you can make out the large distinctive tread...

they are the wheels that mk motorsport used to fit to their tuned e30,s,they claimed they were their own design of wheels but someone must have made them for them,they are stunning imo and were a metric fitting strangely.

no problem thats what this forum is for,to help one another.engine mods were forged pistons to raise the compression,hot camshaft,flowed head,fancy manifold and exhaust and that lovely cast alloy cam cover,not sure about performance maybe ian could help with that,but id guess at 325I performance ie ...

h23 had 170 bhp h26 same car just capacity increase to 190 bhp,no saving in weight but both well worth having,could be a full conversion or just an engine kit as unlike alpina,hartge would sell you an engine kit alone. if its a full conversion it could have lots of nice parts like 40% lock up diffs ...

i could be wrong here but im sure the h27 was based on the 325,h23,h26 cars were based on the 323,h26 could be 325 too ,if im right then this cant be a h27.

that red hartge is stunning,but i thought the sp models had a trick inlet manifold system,this one doesnt have it even though the plaque says its a sp??.note its an auto again japs love autos.i think someone should buy it!

ok fuzz we're never going to agree on this one,but if i ever find out you have bought one i'll be round to give you grief mate

oh your right fuzzy,when i got into bmw's it was a touring that i really wanted!why dont you guys just buy a skyline and tune it to 500bhp,job done,no you love how your e30 feels and the m3 was the best, evo mag just voted it best m car ever,nuff said

an e3o enthusiast who wouldnt want a m3?
