The white 318is? yep - though its not quite so shiny these days

But then 4 years of abuse from me...

Yeah not that I've seen any of it, stuck in the dungeon at work

though I'm popping out in a few mins, I'll wave at the white cliffs shall I?

Ahh around, just been more into my music n stuff recently Only seem to drive to and from work these days so i dunno its kinda become more functional, hence not been on here much :( The iS is still going though, despite a high speed headlight/pigeon interface the other day, ewww pulling guts out of t...

Wow the zone was never this good back in my day...

Got any of these in wallpaper sizes??? My desktop could do with brightening up

I pressed the m3 poly ones in using a trolly jack, couple of bits of wood, and the underneath of the car
Seemed to do the trick, dunno if you'd be able to do the rubber ones like that though

I've seen pics of the same car in the same location before I think - recognise the bit of road!

Lucky swine, I'd love to go to iceland, beautiful/crazy scenery, blue lagoons, mad trucks trying to climb cliff faces, good music scence too

I would imagine that the two 10mm nuts on the handbrake cables at the lever end have been tightened to 'adjust' the handbrake, rather than the actual adjusters in the hub. Slacken the two nuts off and then check the proper adjusters. Which you have to do by lining up the hole in the rear brake disc...

no. how do i do that? Stick a bleed hose on the bleed screw and slacken it off. Then push the piston back in squarely. In the absence of a proper tool, the easiest way is to stick a screwdriver between the disc and the old pad on the piston side before you dismantle anything. Thats what I usually d...

Put a 3.91 LSD on, and if you're worried about the slight loss in accel, then put some 195/50/15 tyres on - that'll put the gearing back to normal

You got it then

V nice, I'm jealous!

Lower spec = less weight!

Few shots of my old iS!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/BenE30/LLAYCARS005111.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/BenE30/LLAYCARS002111.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/BenE30/LLAYCARS004111.jpg Still going strong, heres some more pics: http://org22.zorpia.com/0/2777/177729...

195/60 R15 86H Bridgestone Potenza RE 720 Ã‚£36.70 each from mytyres.co.uk

Excellent tyre

AFAIK you can only get old GSD2 stock of 205/55/15 eagle f1, and practically nowhere has them http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/15__Goodyear_Tyres.php has them listed at Ã‚£90 a corner, but no idea if they actually have any If so you could order them, have em delivered? I was thinking of trying 195/...

Well I'm running them at the mo, they're OK, but nothing special
And they turn your BBS brown

I'll probably fork out for DS2500 again next time

Yeah it'd drop the car half an inch and throw the speedo out 5%, but then on eg. on a 318is you could fit a 3.91 lsd, or the 325i maybe a 3.64 to offset this if it really bothered you tomstickland, the guy with Simon13's old 318is seems to run that size: http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forum...

Well you could always try 195/50/15 cause you can get the eagle f1 in that?

I had one that an impact driver rounded the head off it was stuck that tight, tried boiling water/heating it/wd40 etc It refused to drill out, and became so rounded I couldnt hammer anything into it (you seem to hit a harder layer of metal partway into the screw?) The only solution in the end was to...

Not sure, but GSF will have them

Yeah what Adam said about fitting, had to take to a garage on the 325i to get them done Re the difference in feel, they made a fair difference on the 325i, but then the lines where old, you probably wont notice with new lines. However thats not the main reason for getting them, braided hoses wont bu...

I've had both They're both good cars Depends what you want from the car, for most people the 325i is the better choice - you can drive them quite lazy, pull well etc etc If you dont mind driving like in a race everywhere and revving the tits off a car, keeping it in the power band then the 318iS doe...

Wishing everyone a tail-out xmas!

I think 1155 are now road legal, thought they didn't use to be?
It'll probably tell you on their website

I'm pretty sure they are in the manual - right at the back?

You can get pagid fast road from GSF & they're OK, not amazing but better than std Squeal a bit though when you've not used em hard for a while o no u cant! GSF no longer do them, neither do MSW. Euro carparts mite, but GSF have super seeded them with "mintex extreme" which are more expensive and n...

I had to work

If you're getting brake fade for whatever reason, whether it be a soft pedal (fluid boiling) or overheating pads, would it not be wise to address why the existing setup is failing in the first place. Spongy pedal replace the fluid with fresh, preferably Dot5.1, but remeber it will need replacing mo...

hmmm, i would just like to say im no tight arse thanks! ya buggers, :D i paid 250 quid for a damn air filter! lol, :mad: but right now i just want to sort something out until i have saved up for something like an AP conversion or such likes. Just whack on some Ferodo DS2500 or Mintex 1155 pads, and...

Altho, some of the ford boys have had major issues with hispec, especially cooking discs at the first sign of abuse

I wouldnt touch em after reading this!

Yeah I'm on there too
Mostly guys from USA though

First off, what pads/fluid are you running at the moment?
Changing these can make a huge improvement.

Ack only just seen this
Romsey also here, would have loved to have popped along
Avebury is waaaay better than Stonehenge IMHO, love the place

7m40s in to be precise

That'll be Espen then - total nutbar driver always on or over the limit, looks like a hitman :) Dont think he has the e30 now, never did get a lap in it - only a ride back from near mini karusell to the ring car park Here's his site http://www.nordschleife.no/ His car had 232hp and carbon fibre spor...

Yeah but they're pretty small tins from the dealer iirc
