Grab the steering rack too

ok chaps thanks. i'll have to get busy

some sexual wheels there maxfield

erm, i quite like em

hi guys i bought an Automatic 316i Touring the other day and it has a couple things i dont like. firstly once you get over 60 there is a wierd, quite bad vibration throughout the whole car and it starts to slow down sometimes. If you take your foot off the throttle it stops. Its hard to describe but...

nice. are the e36 seats a direct fit?

27 and on 4th E30

so bleed it with the engine off?

so i should put the hoses back on, then start the car and release the bleed screw on top of the thermostat housing till just coolant is coming out right?

hi chaps, right, ive had to undo 2 hoses that go to the thermostat housing to carry out a temp repair to one which had split. Ive wrapped it with some amalgamating tape for now. I just want to know if its ok to just put the hoses back on and start it as normal or do i need to bleed the system or any...

haha love it ok cheers guys

ok mate thanks for the info. I prefer non power myself anyway just wondered if having an m30 will make it too heavy

just toying with the idea as i said. i always preferred the feel of manual steering plus theres less to go wrong which is always a good thing in my eyes. My cars going to be used for a lot of drifting and the occasional track days so not sure really. Do you know if theres any difference in the amoun...

does anybody run manual steering with an m30? Im toying with converting mine from power steering to manual when it gets converted but just wondered if it would make it uber-heavy with the m30 up front?

nice mate best colour

ok turns out i have a really handy friend! He came round my house with a broken key extractor tool. he trained as a locksmith years ago. had the broken part out in minutes so im off to a locksmith tomorrow to see if i can get a key cut from both halfs. Im in a better mood now

ill try again tomorrow. ive given up and calming down before the petrol cutter comes out.

Thanks for the help chaps

right, i hooked up a battery in the hope of being able to use the central locking but all my alarm does when you press the fob is beep and doesn't unlock anything. i thought about the ski hatch but the only problem is the massive strutbrace going across the opening :cry: Maybe ill just keep it as a ...

yea i guess so. How do i open the boot now tho to remove the old lock?

ok mate thanks. Just one more problem. Ive just snapped the only key i have for it in the bootlock! I just thought i'd try it gently one more time and didn't hear or feel it snap but when i pulled the key out half of it is still in the bootlid barrel. FOR F*CKS SAKE!

my e30 has been off the road for a while sitting on my drive. I wanted to start it up today to move it, i knew the battery was flat but thats ok i thought, the clifford alarm isn't working due to being flat but the doors open with the key. Only thing is, the boot wont open with the key and guess whe...

dont like anything except the rear window louvres sorry mate

ive got the front and rear strut braces from RPM. Look smart and definitely noticed it stiffen up. Think its just over 100 quid delivered

lol cheers guys im looking forward to it!

im going to be running this diff with 17 inch wheels on 40 profile tyres. Is it going to be ok or way too high a ratio? The car will mainly be for drifting/taking up the strip/the occasional trackday and will only be used on the road maybe once or twice a week so not worried about fuel consumption o...

ok lee thanks for that

my mate has the donor car at his garage and is pulling the stuff i need out. He just text me asking how much of the loom he needs. What shall i tell him guys? Donor is e34 535 auto into 325

cool beans cheers

ok cool and yea i'll give you a pm when i got the money for the mounts lee. If i remember correctly, i can use my 325 prop with your mounts cant i?

would that mate to e34 box or is there no difference? Ive seen a billet m30 flywheel on here before i'd like. If i remember its 230 quid

it hasn't got aircon mate. I'll buy an e28 rad later. I was going to source an e34 manual box, clutch and i want a lightened flywheel but that will have to come later when funds allow. Just going to get what i need from the donor first so can weigh it in and make some space. Thanks for the reply lee

hi chaps, me and a mate are in the process of stripping my e34 535 auto for parts needed for the conversion. Could someone tell whats needed other than engine, loom, ecu, and throttle cable please? Thanks lads

ok thanks guys

anyone please?

is there any strength in the tinny metal the rear seat backrest is against and the parcel shelf and would it make any difference to structural integrity if the car is fitted with 6 point bolt in cage and front and rear strut braces?

cheers
