Thanks for the continued help guys.

Bss325i I have sent you a pm, as I have to others aswell

Thanks for the fast replies guys.

I am based around Reading, Berkshire and its currently a not so healthy 1.8is

so I would either be looking to have another is put in or a 2.5 I guess.

How much roughly do you guys charge, and would you be able to source the engine or would I need to provide one?

Hi, I remember from quite a while back that there was a guy, or a couple of guys that were offering engine swaps for a fixed price. For the life of me I cant remember the zoners name and searching hasnt turned up anything. I was wondering if anyone knew who this person is, if they are still doing it...

Thanks

The car is awesome, but I cant claim any credit for it.

I bought it as it stands a few weeks back. I do have some small changes in the pipeline but thought I would enjoy it for a bit.

Im excited, so thought I would vent some of it and make a post. Im there with a few friends until the 10th (my e30, a chevette, some new golf, and something else that I cant remember lol). So if anyone is at the ring this week and see's the below around, its me! http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s1...

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the input, only just had a chance to check back here, working 12 hour days at the moment

I should have some time at the weekend to make some sort of progress on this

Thanks for the replys, ill take a much better look into it now and update when ive made a decision :) . Although I fear a lot of the decision is going to be based on being able to get a good engine and extras within a reasonable distance of where I live. Is the following everything I need then? Engi...

Hi All, I currently have a G reg 316i that I have been using as my daily driver, but with an upcoming trip to the ring im thinking about doing an m42 conversion to spice it up a bit :). I have looked around this part of the forum but cant seem to find a definitive list of what is actually needed to ...

Hmm, well I think I was doing it right. Im going to give it another go tomorrow and try to get to the breakers to get another lock (that should be a good indicator if I am doing it right).

I will update tomorrow

Thanks guys

Stu

Im having real trouble getting the lock out using the pin / pliars. The pin appears to be going in about the same length as the key, maybe 2 / 3 mm less. Does anyone know how far it should be going in? Im using a long pin and ive put quite a bit of stress / hammered / sworn at it to see if it goes i...

Thanks, will give that a go, I went down to the breakers and they were closed anyway, so I cant get a replacement till Monday at the earliest now. Were you able to fix your problem or was it just a case of replacement?

I have no idea of the inner workings of the key barrel lol.

Thanks

Stu.

Hi Guys / Brian :P Checked the switch and it works fine, starting my car with a screwdriver was novel lol. I guess that means its the lock? The scrapyard near me closes shortly, so a fast respose would be amazing, but how do you get the lock etc off? Im hoping that they will have keys etc so I can g...

Thanks for the response Brian, I will have time to look at this later this afternoon and get back to you.

Hi Guys, Quite simply, I cant turn my car on :( Heres what happened: I got back late last night, turned the engine off, but the key wouldnt turn all the way, seemed to be getting stuck in the first ignition position so I was unable to take the key out. The car still started but just wouldnt turn all...

The wires should already be running through the car, the tweeter wires are usually hidden behind the standard mirror blanks. The other end of the wires also need to be connected up, these are behind the footwell speakers. This post helped when I was doing mine: http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?nam...

This looks cool

I was going to get an iS front spoiler, but I might see if I can get one of these a lot cheaper from a scrappy / breakers, if I can then a could be a nice little project

Driver in the first vid has some serious skill

I love the sound of the m3 lol

such a waste

some of us have to

Welcome

looks like a good buy.

I want snow aswell

!!

Ive never seen that before, its awesome!

congrats dude

ill check out the article

Im getting some decent cleaning stuff for the car (meguiars 3 step stuff), and new tools

£5 per metre is quite a lot, but I didnt pay for mine and it is really good cable. Morat I suggest you get this stuff, its probably more suited to a car as its a bit thinner, but still v good stuff: http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=AUDI-ULTRAMICRO-200M ....and its half...

^^ I agree with the above, but if they dont like it and dont want you to look everywhere then walk away as there will always be another one

There is a screw in both of the kick panels which needs to be undone, and then on the passenger side you will need to unscrew the bonnet release aswell. It might be easier for you to drop the glove box to get access (open the glove box and push out the 2 plastic pins holding the straps on) When this...

Fair enough

to be honest I think I read your first post wrong, I thought you were after a project, so apologies

Do get an e30 though, they are such sexy cars

.

Good job mate

the breakers near me isnt half as nice and decent as yours sounds lol!

Good cable isnt a rip off, audiophiles generally recommend that 10% of the value of your system should be spent on cables as they do make a difference to sound quality. I was lucky though, I got mine for free when I bought my speakers

Welcome to the zone mate

This is an ideal winter project if you dont mind painting, and comes with everything you need to get it on the road, even has an LSD

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=120317

I was hoping to get it but its out of my price range

Woo, people agree with me

Just because I'm ignorant and lazy... does anyone have any links to some appropriate speaker cable? The cable in my car atm is, well, minging. This is the stuff I have in my car: http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=AUDI-ULTRA100-100MRL I got a load of speaker cable when ...

Haha, no worries Dave. If I was you, ebay the pioneers and take the whole infinity set, or get the infinity set and ebay the drivers that come with it? Might be able to get everything for less than the £30 plud del that you will pay for just the tweeters. (im a poor recent graduate :P) Use that thre...

The black and orange one is cool

I think that was the original rrp, although it was quickly at 100, but you really cant go wrong for £48 delivered or whatever they are. When I ordered mine from that seller I got them next day aswell :D If you have lots of cash then the bmw mirror mounts are good, but seeing as though there is a set...
