... the solutions very simple...

...bin the old e30... maybe use for parts...

...buy a properly sorted e30 2dr, touring or cab...

... it's not the car that's the issue but it's condition...

...that's the stuff try www.dynamat.com

You may have to do a bit of research on google.

I recall seeing some special soundproofing material supplied by a company in the US.

...btw while I'm here, one thought that did occur to me... what's involved increasing the engine capacity to 2.0 or more? Since you've still got to rebuild the engine. Plus, the cost of all the 320iS major components will be around Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1,500 to Ãƒ”šÃ‚£2,000 if I recall correctly! Then there's fit...

yeah... I checked this conversion out with Wayne last year. You will need 320iS: . engine plus associated electronic control components . gearbox . prop shaft . diff There's also another issue. Because the 318iS is RHD and the engine comes from a LHD car the exhaust manifold may interfere with the s...

Hi Guys,

Anyone ever looked into overboring the 16v 1.8 engine to 2.0?

Cheers

... it maybe worthwhile getting everything you can. Including propshaft and diff plus all the running gear. The e30 318iS was equiped with motorsport suspension as standard. Exhaust shoudn't be too bad. Just check it's not had a cat fitted. Providing its a pre-92 e30 318iS shouldn't be too much of a...

...they'll probably tell you to try Spit n Polish. I think they're based in Birmingham. So you'll need to send to away by courier.

... as for cost Ãƒ”šÃ‚£35 per wheeel?

Cheers Dude... have you got one? Why are they better than the standard BMW system?

Hi Guys,

The back box needs replacing. Should I stay with the BMW original item or move to an after market one? If so which is the best? Don't want anything too loud.

Cheers.

Thanks to everyone on this post. I for one have learnt a great deal here. I will never again use washing up liquid, a spong or a shamy! BTW, re-bird poo stains. I used a body colured wax polish plus a body coloured wax crayon. The results are extremely good. The wax crayon does a great job of hiding...

Bollloxs it's all the same stuff with different smells!

Dude... I know you've done this but double triple check the arches on the 86 car. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they are are a1. 86 is getting a tad early.

Good luck and go with your heart. It might be a 100 nicka well spent!

Hi Guys, Well I've got a 318iS at the moment . But not too long ago I - very foolishly - sold a 325 se 2 dr rightness - of course. As much as I like the 318iS the 6 cylinder 325 was just a complete hoot. So in my view go for the 325 even though the 318iS is a bit more rare. That's not to say that th...

Hi Guys,

Anyone know how to get rid of marks left on paintwork by bird poo... apart from respraying the car!

Cheers

Cheers all.

...er ABS, well it's a safety feature, but... as I can see from the lonnnnng list of items needed that it might be to much to do.

Donor car might be way forward.

You bunch of muppets amaze me. Talk about an abbbrogggation of responsibility... Lets look at the real world. Most businesses you deal with don't give a sh1t. Largely because they have to employ low trade straff... and that might include some of you lot... who don't give a sh1t. Since most people ar...

Guys... I really appreciate all your comments. It's helped loads..

No I havn't bought any bits as yet. Still doing the rearch first to figure what's what and if it's really worth doing.

I'll keep you posted on progress... cheeeers...

Thanks Guys, yeah this is the 318i twin cam engine I'm talking about and replacing it with th S14 out of an Italian (stallion) 320iS. Whay I have found out is that if I do it I'll need the complete drive train. Engine, gearbox and diff. Just changing the engine isn't going to release the full potent...

Anyone have any experience of doing this? Not to keen on LHD. So upgrading the engine in the 318iS to a 320iS seems the way to go.

We've currently got a 318iS in Lazer Blue and a 325 auto cab. And last year I sold, very stupidly, a very nice 325i 2dr manual... of course. Now although the 318iS is great car I still prefer the 325i. Not quite so good in corners I know. But the extra horses does it for me. And the sound of the 6 c...
