Excellent video and build thread, thanks for sharing. Watched drifting for the first time yesterday at Castle Combe, and really enjoyed the skills on display. One thing I was very keen to find out though, how do you guys keep the engines vaguely cool? My N/A M30 struggles in traffic let alone a big...

And an awesome video of round 1

Here's a link to a bit of a write up of the car

Hopefully some will pop up soon!

Got plenty of it drifting na but not the same as when its boosted

realised i put this in the wrong section feel free to move it

I only picked the car up on the way to silverstone so hadn't experienced a boosted m30 untill my first hour practice session, its mental! Here's a video of the car at bailey performance dale fitted and mapped the megasquirt for me he's done an amazing job on both counts http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Thought i'd stick some pictures up of my car out at silverstone round 1 of the british drift championship, I qualified 2nd , and came away with 4th place in semi pro the e30 was the only bmw competing http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o16/h34dfuk4r/BDC%202010/round%201/BDCround10133.jpg http://i112...

Hi, ive got a e36 318is engine ive been looking for a 318i e30 to drop the engine in to, i understand that i need to swap the engine mounts and sump so it will fit. well ive just come across a 316i e30 is the swap still as straight forward , ie do they have the same sump and mounts as the 318i? also...

I'm interested and know of someone else who's looking for a set

Ok thanks for the reply

Ive come accross some genuine tweeter pods (replace mirror blanking plate) the tweeters are made by nokia.

I was wondering what they are worth as I havn't seen them before,

anyone know a rough figure?

Had a test drive but its still the same :mad: not sure were to go from here! Ive got a chip fitted from speedtouch im wondering if that has adapted wrongly, another one is I have a cone filter (with cold air feed) fitted could I feel the powerloss that would give from the exhaust mani? an then the c...

Thanks,

Well Ive got a supersprint centre section and at the moment straight pipes out the back, so don't
think its the exhaust!!
But I will try and check the baffles.

So the clearences should be fine,good.

Ive just changed the sensor, I'll take it for a spin in a bit, fingers crossed

This is only slight power loss 10-15 bhp on my butt dyno, Its not there all the time it only happens when its hot, I don't mean red hot just anything over 1/4 temp Its definetly not a missfire, it sort of changes the sound of the revs and drops loads of power off It feels like its restricted by the ...

To me my e30's just another toy to kick to death, untill I get fed up with it.

You need balls to drift, If you like all the shiny shit and talking concours then go for it,

but we all know who's geting the most out of there E30

Right - first a list of the E30 plug colours and functions: 1/ blue, from alternator small terminal to ignition light. 2/ green/yellow, oil level sensor (NC on 318 loom) 3/ NC 4/ brown/purple, water temp to cluster 5/ brown/green, oil pressure to cluster 6/ green/white, fused ignition, feed to lamb...

Ive got it running :D well sort of! just connected the starter wiring, Ignition and fuel pump (I fed the fuel pump from the Ignition) First fire up it literally burst into flames!!!!!! 8O 8O I Forgot to connect the earthstrap I also didnt tighten the jubilee on the fuel hose, so it earthed out from ...

Thought that would be the case, didnt see it coming,

Does anybody no where to find the apropriate diagram's?

Im having a search but no joy yet, I really need to get my car running as its my transport

Has anyone got a picture of the same plugs? so I can compare
