So... this is probably a question that has not been asked on here before.. I currently have a M42 318is.... and i was wondering if a 1600 bottom end would mate to the head - no i know that you are all probably wondering why.. but its to do with racing classes. so basically, has any one ever fitted a...

Hi there, i seem to have lost ALL forward gears... basically i was driving home, not even thrashing the car! and i lost 3rd, most of 4th, still had 1,2+5 then they went too - before that there was no indacation that anything was broken, noisy, not feeling right, infact the car was running pretty wel...

here we go guys- as promised! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/5176313523_748f57047e.jpg DSC_0201 by clarkyboySE , on Flickr http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/5176279149_aae6a87770.jpg DSC_0184 by clarkyboySE , on Flickr http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/5176295831_b73e999c30.jpg DSC_0195 by ...

and my god is it awesome!

it was in need of a paint - but i decided to vynil it instead in dy/noc stuff, looks good - not an oem look i know but i like it, and it saved my painting it!

pictures to follow!

right so my car 318is m42 1990 has decided to not start, it has power, it wont turn over with the key but it starts fine fro the starter with a screw driver - rough i know! so im guessing starter relay? who know where and what one it is, almost all of my relays click when they key is turned! it work...

i have this problem with my fuel guage at idle sometimes - could this be the same problem?

fitted mine at the weekend, 4300k, awesome, what a difference, looks cool with my smoked lights too - pics to follow!

i did it all myself, from rebulding the engine right up to spraying it, Greame Morrison at retro restorations kindly offered the use of his body shop and he provided all of the materials also. the only think i left to the professional's was the vynil - Roo'd signs did them all for me and needless to...

sure is

cheers guys

will give it ago when i get up tomorrow.

bugger....i bet thats the side i didnt put back on.... replace with ploythene and silicone?

im sure i have seen a post on this before but cant find it, basically, i have a broken ankle right now and my car is sat outside, i went to run the water off it the other day as we have been getting frost/snow up in aberdeen and i noticed a puddle of water in the passengers footwell!! so... whats wr...

that will be my next purchase i think! yours looks great Ajsingh, mine has smoked lights too so should look decent!

cheers guys, TBH the headlights are second hand - they had been tinted already, i was going to strip them back but i didnt have time before i MOT'd it, and now they have grown on me, so they will be staying! as for more pics - you will find them on my flickr page throught the picture links!

well here is my offering! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/5096192053_138e51ee73.jpg DSC_0030 edit by clarkyboySE , on Flickr http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/5094346729_3e22691de4.jpg DSC_0050 by clarkyboySE , on Flickr http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4153/5094900806_d438cb0b26.jpg DSC_0060 by...

was out with the camera the other day, some results im happy with! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4153/5094900806_d438cb0b26.jpg DSC_0060 by clarkyboySE , on Flickr http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/5094346729_3e22691de4.jpg DSC_0050 by clarkyboySE , on Flickr http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4108/5...

on the subject of auto socks - 2 of my mates ran them on thier exige's (thats right exige!!) last year through our shocking scottish winter and they were great!

well done, that looks good, im impressed that they look like they are meant to be there!

i notice the rear cards are still out - do they fit ok with them in?

not something i would do, but im impressed with your result nice one!

you should be able to get it from your local trade/motor factor or if you have a local body shop they would be able to order it in for you i would imagine

aye you can get white, gray or black - im not sure waht other colours are available but those are the three that i have used in the past. also you can get shultz with waxoil added too - its supposed to be the dog's never dries out/hardens etc so you allways have a protective layer

i used a panel beating hammer and a block - thats how it used to get done back in the day.... but you MUST must must protect the paint if any gets cracked, chipped etc, paint then pack with sealer/waxoil/schutz etc..

i have 225/50/15 - et35 compomotive ml's with falken ze912's and a 10mm spacer (making it up to et25) for those 16's you are going to have to machine a bit off the inside to take them to a 25 or so, do your measurements right and they will be great on the back! mine is lowered 60 mm, see below - no ...

and its bloody filthy... white may have been the wrong colour..jokes, i bloody love it!! i had honestly forgotten how nice this was to drive, and now its been tweeked, rebuilt and slammed its even better! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/5071753295_ff8c461fb0.jpg 71780_161031150581179_10000022886...

i had 205/40/17's on my is, lowered more than 60, et 35 offset, there was no rub front or rear, you should be fine, im now on 225/50/15 on the rear (et 25) and 205/50/15 on the front, no scubbing either, delighted, it looks so low and fat! i rolled my arches before the respray too, but i ran the 17'...

i managed to paint mine quote well after struggling for huors trying to take them apart, i gave up when i broke one!

just whip the glass out, and prep them well!

haha, dont worry dont worry! its going to be racing at every opportunity, next year i will be entering in the scottish sprint and hillclimb championship. so it will be put to proper use! its been alot of work, but god damn its been rewarding to know that the car i have owned for 5 years and stipped ...

i would love that bonnet for my sprint/hillclimb e30.....
