hi all, i currently have a 316i touring as my daily runner (its cheap to run while im back at college) but want to upgrade a few things to have some sideways fun. im looking to run a 318is engine in the future but want to sort the braking/ handling before the transplant. i know the tourings run the ...

aaah yes very good point mate. yeah its trying to find a 1/2 mm spacer. preferrably 1mm as the tyre is close to the legal/ illegal line of the tyre protruding the arch!

cheers foe the advise bud. will take it easy on the calliper tho

lol

ive just got a set of borbet A's 9x16'' all round. the wheels just touch the calliper slider on the fronts, do people modify the calliper or the wheel to get their borbets on. im guessing remove a small amount of material from the wheel but just wanted to see if anyone had any cunning ideas/ tips fi...

the rear springs went in fine and the car sits lovely...... whats the difference between the saloon springs and the touring springs?? if it just weight differences i think i will leave them as it sits nicely but if they wont fit properly as they'r a differnt shape or something i will remove them and...

hi guys, i picked up a bilstein damper kit and -40mm springs for my '93 1.6 touring yesterday and started fitting it up. the kit came from a 318 2dr. the rears went on fine but the front insert diameters were bigger on the original parts than the replacement parts.... quite noticeable larger! what s...

i posted a while ago about my 320i not starting, the smptoms were it would crank over but wouldnt ever fire up. i changed the plugs, air and fuel filters etc, checked for spark to each cylinder which is strong etc. got it pretty much diagnosed as the fuel pump and got one ordered up, had a bit of a ...

ta mate, shame, i thought the pump i had here spare would be a nice coincidental direct replacement. never mind.

thanks for the info.

cheers. paul

ta buddy ....... '>' stands for 87 onwards?? sorry i can never remember which way round those symbols work.
ta. paul

.... pretty much as above.... does anyone know what the fuel pump part no. is for a 320i e30??

ive got a pump that will cover part no's:
16 12 1 115 862
16 14 1 178 751
16 14 1 179 232

are these stand alone pumps as opposed to in tank pumps?? thanks. paul

ta for those ideas buddy, i will get a fuel pump and give it a go, failing that crank sensor is next.
ta. for the info.
