BC are your best bet mate to be honest but bit more cash needed

Bilt hamber is what i used mate, I aslo used bilt hamber cavity wax. Dinitrol is also not bad stuff.

Bloody hell, this is a great build..

POR 15 is crap if you dont get the surfaces blasted so i would stay clear of that stuff, Epoxy primer is the stuff to get, I used the Jotun stuff 2 part like jimmyspeed mentioned for my body and then used 3M stonegard which is great stuff.

Goodluck

Its as if the guy in the stamping dept says o F**K sake not another E30 Scuttle

Holy shit!!!!

Sorry but do not believe I can do the job with the degree of confidence required and certainly don't want to muck it up! Anybody had theirs done professionally?? :) :) :) :) You could probably take it to an old school electrical repair shop, Tv shop etc and they would do it for you, Obviously suppl...

BMW car club UK do these.

There is a fee though (About £30/40) You could try contacting them.

ECU Dry solder joints?

Bilstein are good, B6 or B8 for lowered cars though

I just looked online and I think i see your dilema Outer tie rods m14 inner tie rod m18 quick ebay found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Tie-rod-end-Track-rod-end-Track-rod-ends-Front-left-right-BMW-3-Series-E30-/131826033606?hash=item1eb171a3c6:g:BxAAAOSwyjBW6R8z look in this link you can clearly...

Facebook? What is that?

Hey chaps cheers for yesterday

Nice to have a friendly welcome from you guys, Was worth the trek from Wales.

Leigh

I got them on my m3 but obviously the arches are wider. I would assume they would sit out far on a 318/325, but others will chime in and tell you.

Leigh

Also you will need spigot rings to convert the wheels so they stay centralised. The hole in the middle of a BBS rc090 is 74.1mm and most bmw hub sizes are 72.5mm so you would require the 4 rings. Not more than a tenner for a set. Something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-BMW-SPIGOT-RINGS-72-6-...

There seem to be a few BC coilovers on ebay, Other brands to consider would be Bilstein,GAZ,KW.

Not sure on the pro sport ones beiong sold cheap, I have no review on them

Leigh

Only 2 ways to fit the prop together If you have no dots align as per drawing and try and if your still getting problems turn one half 180 degrees and try again , As per your diagram, Some props have small weights on them to balance also. If you have tried both ways and still have problems you might...

Hi guys

Has anyone ordered any drive shafts from GSF lately?

They are about £80 each with weekend discount,
Are they new units or reconditioned? I cannot see any notes saying you have to part exchange yours or anything?

Cheers

Leigh

Yer glenn but for £500 !!!

Seller has nothing to do with me but thought you guys would like to look at these.

Nice price but a nice bit of kit also, Would look great in the dashboard.

All done did exactly what you suggested, No leaves but I removed and lubricated and span it with power in my hand, Replaced and all quiet again.

Thanks

Leigh

Cheers Brian

I will have a look and make sure there is no leaves or anything before I remove the motor.

Leigh

Hey all The car has been doing this for a few months now, Sounds like I have a budgie in my dashboard on blower fan position 1. I am guessing I have to remove the blower fan and lube the bearings up but what would you use for this as I had a quick google and dry lube was mentioned? Not sure if that ...

Yer but im sure you can just try it out with a few spade connectors and a pliers etc I bet that china one is the same as the £5 ones but they added the few weeks waiting cost to it for un-patient folk like me.

Let us know if your loom blows up in smoke or indeed if it works

Leigh

As KW355 post I did the same but have wondered if the E46 one would fit?

They are about a fiver to buy from ebay.

Hoobs

I was down Castle combe, your car looks great, Also seen you several times taking passengers out for a run.

Did not get to meet you though you were busy, I did get to go out with the top 25 cars though.

Leigh

The fuel pump mod is the best thing you can do and its not expensive to carry out either just a bit of time thats all.
But if they lift it away with a tow truck then i would say a hidden tracker is your best option.

Leigh

Nice one guys, Well at least a few are interested.

Byron that little show Jimbom mentioned, I just hope the white sierra is going to be there again with the disc conversion.

Leigh

Are there any events or meetings planned in Wales this year guys?

Just getting the ball rolling and if anyone is interested just post your name up here.

Leigh

Looks like someones already selling on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E30-M3-S1 ... SwoudW3w9F

I have a 6 button so yes the pin hole might be different then.

Probably the different settings for the clock as in 12Hr/24Hr and then there is temperature C and F

I bought a 186 a good few years ago after buying a cheaper clarke set and not getting very far.

£620 is a lot to pay but results were far superior
