thanks brian thats good news then, thats my next move to source a m10 lump complete!!

was the m10 ever fitted to the e30? the rules state that if i have injection i have to convert it to carb setup if a carb was fitted to this model?
so i have an e30,if it ever came with a carb the most logical solution would be to find a m10 lump with carb and dizzy/ignition control unit.

i'am currently building my E30 into a stock car for next year, problem being the formula states carb only, now my E30 is 1800cc on injection. Can i get a carb and inlet manifold from a m40 1600 and bolt it on???, if so i guess the ecu would be useless, so would i need ignition parts and or ecu from ...

super replies guys, i will tie it out of the way then.

ste, the project was put to one side for ages due to work commitments but its now up and running again, no rallies yet but looking to getting her finished and tested by middle of march.

re cage, yes i can take more pics, sounds intriguing tho lol, pm me re leon.

i made a flyoff handbrake today, using a self tapper!!! works a treat

modded the airbox and fitted a k&n from a vectra i got for nothing.

thanks ste, have you looked at my project? its coming on, is yours road rally spec???

any ideas??

the engine is an m40

it doesnt look like its been plugged into anything recently and everything still works.

Just a quick update, i made a panel for the switches and fuse box. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n222/ianclapham/bmw/IMG_0548.jpg Cut off switch cable pull fitted also. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n222/ianclapham/bmw/IMG_0546.jpg I found the reason why the front carpet was wet!!! my trun...

Are haynes manuals the best for wiring diagrams or is there a website or a pdf link etc?

Car is a 1989 318i m40

Thanks

thanks Adam, perfect.

Good idea Adam, where did you source the sheet and how did you fix to the underside? Presumably lots of self tappers and large washers?

Muppet Motor!!!!!!
Looks like he wants to do road rallies, not allowed 6 forward facing beams!!!!

top job, this forum is mint

Does anyone have experience of tank guards?
cost? supplier? etc

is it the outer strut diameter then i presume??

45mm or 51mm?????

i have a 1990 318i m40

can i measure in situ or does it need to be striped? and where is the measurement taken from?

thanks in advance

Yes mate, due to the road rally regulations i need to retain the interior trim.

Well after 16 months the rallycar build gets underway. £100 rear cage courtesy of Leon Newton :D fitted today. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n222/ianclapham/bmw/IMG_05291.jpg £100 RWD Challenge sumpguard courtesy of Avtovaz :D fitted today. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n222/ianclapham/bmw...

thank you

does anyone know if the fuel tank on a 1990 318i e30 is the same as the 318i e36?

reason iam asking is that my mate had had tank guards made up for his e36 rallycar and i want some for my e30, just saves grief if the tanks are the same, i can get the same made up.

thanks all

well change of plan guys, i have been given a m52 engine so its my plan to transplant into my e30 and keep it a standard look, due to work commitments i cannot find the time needed to build and rally the car, photos will be posted as and when

i have just bought a 1989 e30 with a m40 lump for road rallying, if i can find a m42 engine what kind of a job is it to put into my standard m40 car.

thanks

ian clapham

is this the m40 engine?

on the drive home, i can hear i whine from the rear, i guess its the diff, is this a common fault?

also the fuel pump is quite loud, is this normal??

thanks

I have just bought this one owner 85K mile 318i with t&t for £100 I am going to use her in the ANWCC roadrally championship in 2009. I will post photos on here during the build. I would also appreciate and advice on weak points on the car, i.e suspension, engine, transmission. http://i113.photobucke...
