E30 Zone

A proper wrong 'un.

No parts, no replies on text or on here.

A small amount of cash lost but that's not the point is it?

AVOID!!!!

Thanks Brian - lets see what the damage is from a stealer...

Hi Folks,

A quick one for all you lovely people - are fuel pipes bought from a BMW dealer supplied with the bends in them already or do you have to make them fit yourself?

Appreciate your help!

Makes sense Brian...

It's a track car with all the sound deadening removed so it's gonna rattle like 2 skeletons shagging in a biscuit tin

Cheers Dan :thumb: It was removed by the body shop when they did the paint - the only blimmin' part I didn't get a picture of! Looking at the door, I'm guessing it's there just to stop the outer panel flapping about? *Edit* just had a quick look and it attaches to the outer door panel and braces acr...

Hi everyone, 2 door non electric window car, 1990. I'm doing a front door rebuild after paint and I'm a bit bemused where part 15 fits in the door or if I can discard it? It's a track build so if it's not going to hurt, I'll leave it out: https://www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/search/selectCar/E30/2-T/BMW+32...

Another great deal from Brutus on some exterior trims - great guy to deal with and the master of great packaging!!

Double nice - that fuel tank baffling is something to keep an eye on for my build...

Loving the side exhaust - having it on the RHS of the car is clever - intake nose on the left of the car and exhaust noise on the right does wonders for the noise balance and drive by levels...

Nice... Is your current fuel cell not baffled? That swirl pot should sort things out nicely!

Easier to drive?? That'll be all that lovely torque then??

A big thank you to Brutus for helping me out with some exterior door trims. Spot on all the way from first contact right through to getting the parts here - no hesitation in dealing with him again.

Mental... I love it!!

Time for another update”¦ :thumb: After the interior had been painted, the chaps doing the job wanted to get the exterior apint sorted so that the shell could be shown at the Cholmondely Speed and Power weekend ”“ so, in for exterior prep (these shots were take on an iPhone so a bit naff): http://i1...

Thanks guys!! :thumb: I've gone with Ford Grey Matter on the inside of the car for a couple of reasons - White is great for Motorsport interiors but they get crudded up quick and look a bit pants if you aren't constantly cleaning them. The Ford grey is a flat colour so easy to touch up if it gets ma...

The interior, engine bay and boot paint is progressing nicely... :thumb: Apologies for the orientation of the pictures - photobucket ain't playin' nice again! :? Engine bay: http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x329/michaelcopson/BMW%20LHD%20Track%20Car%20Build/IMG_3037_zpsg583amxo.jpg http://i1176.p...

A quick update... :thumb: After quite a bit of mucking around understanding where everything was going to go, the car is finally off for paint!! :cool: http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x329/michaelcopson/BMW%20LHD%20Track%20Car%20Build/IMG_3014_zpskiuyli46.jpg I've agreed on a colour scheme with ...

Superb work!! Keep the updates coming....

Thanks guys :thumb: I'm with you Dan on the scratching - If I do it I'm aiming on getting hard coated windows to try and minimise that problem. I'm defo going to replace the rear 3 windows with plastic - I still want to keep the window winders so might end up just leaving the fronts as they are... T...

Whilst I am waiting for the car to go into the body shop, I've been thinking about the final spec of the car. I'm going to replace the rear screen and rear side windows with plastic, probably from Plastics for Performance. I'm looking at the fronts and thinking they could do with replacing too, but ...

Time for another update”¦ :thumb: When I was doing the dry build work, originally I fitted the fiberglass bonnet as this has served me very well in the past, but I really wanted a carbon bonnet on there to save an extra kilo or so, hence why I bought the item shown a few posts above.. I also wanted ...

Anglesey is truly *EPIC*

It's worth the drive and the Marshalls have a pretty relaxed view on hanging the arse out so long as you are in control...

Great track to spectate at too! Plus, the locals are also loons

Thanks guys...

@Dan - there's a good chance I'll be local to Oulton on 12th March so I'll come and see you for a chat.

Time to crack on! More updates soon I hope!

Cheers for the kind comments!

Dan - I'm gonna need your help with a steering linkage and some steering pipes - I'll let you know what I need as and when buddy..

Plan is to get her up and running hopefully for sometime this trackday season - lots to do!!!

A really long overdue up and hopefully some more progress to share... :thumb: Last September I eventually got the rolling ”˜Shell home ”“ long story short, the chap who was doing the cage started off really well and the quality of the work that *was* done really is the business, but then things dete...

Hi folks, Hoping someone can help please - it's not actually for my E30 but another track car that needs a bit of welding carrying out on sills. Can anyone recommend a decent welder / body shop in Cheshire or North Wales? Not worried about price, but the quality of the work needs to be good. Thanks ...

^^^Grand - I am aiming for an early dart on 6th to have a watch in the afternoon...

^^^^ blimey!

Mig weld them Dan....!

You gonna be at Oulton on 6th??

^^^ an oil cooler is always going to help the heat balance!!

And yes, the plastic undertray *may* make a small difference to channeling the air out but I wouldn't lose any sleep over that yet - sealing the rad in the aperture will make more difference...

Hello dude - great to see the progress here! :thumb: Just a couple of suggestions from me that might help (and no doubt you probably thought of...!): You are definitely sure that the fan is pulling air the right way?? Sounds silly but certainly a place to start.. Is the radiator completely sealed ar...

^^Fantastic! Looks excellent...

I'm a big fan of Zircotec - makes a BIG difference to both engine bay and cabin temps - aiming on using them for my new exhaust manifold.

Dan - that's looking fecking fantastic mate! Love those brakes...

Given its a wet Bank Holiday, I've had a bit of time at the PC to sort a few pics of what's been happening lately. Fingers crossed, the car will be heading back my way in a few weeks so I can start on the rest of the build. For now, plenty has been going on. First up - pedal box - the pics above sho...

^^^ Tasty!!
