E30 Zone

Haha aye ages, I was knocked off my motorcycle in 2009 and was in no state to finish the engine conversion, so stuck it in storage at my grans farm. Not sure when I sold it, but it was a fella local to Manchester who was looking to get it back on the road. It's probably sitting in a workshop somewhe...

A few years ago I sold D95 OUH, a dolphin grey (I think) 4 door e30, as basically a complete car except no engine and box.

I sold it long distance via my parents and somehow the thing is still in my name. Anyone know whom has it ?

Hi Its not an e30 but it is an old bmw, its a 535i reg D480 ETR I'm getting a nearly new second hand exhaust for it but will no doubt need the extra bits and bobs for hanging it, could I have a prive for -gasket with manifold -hanging rubbers -hanging clamp for back box any other bits I may have for...

thanks for replies, in ref to them cheers guys :D , i'm healing well another 3 or 4 weeks and i'll be finally walking again without crutches thanks to the titanium nail in my thigh the 180 a month would be me sharing with 2 mates , ones on the cards already need to find another, its an expensive wor...

Hi Its been ages since i've been on here The low down is i've been attempting to build an e30 with a m60 engine in for more then a year. Current state of play is I have malchite (i think) 4 door saloon, pre face lift. The old engine is out and the m60 is sat in it waiting for me to make the mounts. ...

its the manual rad i have, no harm in measuring yours if its not too difficult, its width was the problem height and depth seemed all good

i've now chopped a lot of my battery box away and a hole in the bulkhead, so i'll have to put the master there now :) , e30 was tad large and didnt like the fit so i've got a golf mk1 one coming and my mate has a ford ka servo which i'll try this weekend what radiator you using jonsku? the e30.de si...

slight problem as i lose my workshop the 1st of august, so i think the plan now is ignore suspension ect, get the engine actually in and running and then finish the rest on axle stands in the back yard, not really ideal main thing stopping quick progress is money for new parts such as flywheel and c...

norman marshells (sp?) have had two e30's in for ages, half way down the shed one on the left one on the right, 4 door blue 318 maybe and 4 door silverish 316, think the carpet in the blue one is mint but may be blue and not sure aboutt he carpet in the silver i want the doors off them for the elect...

cheers for your help guys I don't like asking these bone questions , but after spending every day sat infront of a computer designing stuff i can't face sitting infront of google for a few hours when i know you guys know already So thank you :) Not sure whats happening with project at moment as work...

oze which fan radiator combo you using? any pictures of the master cylinders for the brakes? bone engine question time as i really have no time for research - on the back of the engine you have the twoi water outlets lets call them left and right when looking at the front of the car, which is out an...

alright having trouble with my brakes as i cant get the left hand drive 540 master here, wondering if i can use master with no servo, is your ecu going to live under the dash or in a box i engine bay like the 540? whats the stuff in the battery tray? abs? anyway i digress, which fuel pump are you us...

it definitly fits, have a search there are several people further on then i am, not cheap to do mind

finally done some stuff to the car, bought some e39 525 tds mounts or whatever the heck jonsku recommended , stuck them on the subframe and bolted plates to them, http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a398/matt12023/v8latest003.jpg heat shield is to protect them when i weld the mounts up i then cut out ...

i'm barely even started with mine, i've chucked 350 at the engine, 600 on a 530 for the gearbox and various other bits, and probably 200 on other related bits. i'm also changing the bouncey bits and stopping bits to keep up so thats going to cost about a grand at least. i view it as one of my hobbie...

brake wise i was thinking wms calipers, not decided about master yet, was considering master cylinder where battery is , with or without servo, trying to find one small enough

what engine mounts and manifolds have you used?

finally done something to this, been in america with work and moving workshop. new workshop is lovely so that'll help. i thought i'd start with a simple job to get going so map light mirror is in and electric sunroof mod nearly finished just need to calibrate the stops and i can pop the trim back on...

excellent, thank you both of you thats just what i needed, i'll get that sorted tonight then the trim can go back on

if anyone has an electric sunroof can they just say where it stops when they operate it

HI I'm retro fitting and electric sunroof to my manual, motor is on and it moves backwards and forwrds fine except it stops i random places as the motor and roof position arent in sync. i'm going to take the motor off with the roof closed i then just need to get the motor stopped in the correct plac...

they are very good, i was 24 when took out policy and got my 5 litre chimeara for 400 pounds a year , they don't use your no claims, very frindly personal touch as well

steering wheel, remove bmw badge, big nut underneath, undo, pull, dont hit yourself in the face with it if its a bit stiff to pull off

i use 3/8ths the most i'd say, half inch for the big stuff, 1/4 for the diddy stuff but 90% of time i use 3/8. deep sockets are blooming handy though

only thing i'd do is change the lip a la mine

What are you using for mounts? My sump's not even close to the subframe! E34 V8 mounts and 10mm spacer (total height should be around 75mm). E39 525tds mounts would've been plug'n'play in E30 subframe and 75mm in height. That i learned later :( hmm nearly bought the standard mounts last week, i mig...

i had a google but i dont think you can get them here,

that halfords cabinet offer is good but i'd then have a very nice cabinet and not many tools, had a look and found this opinions?

teng tool kit

i have this problem with my four door, tried to die it and not impressed with the results. local place is willing to chop mine at the seams and make me one from black material, think they want 150 for the privalidge though. i may go through with it though

saw that today, its their most expensive one, think its 374 for the bottom, get the top free. very tempting

a couple of my mates have the big sets they do in the black cases, but they dont fit in the cabinet unless you cut the hinge or something, i'm tempted to get small top cabinet straight away and get the drawer sets so they fit in. at a later date i can then get the bottom cabinet section

i've got access to a halfords card so looks like they might be a winner I bought the Halfords set at xmas, was £190 down to £100, good kit, can't fault it so far. When you moving? i'm back in the office tomorrow so i'll drop you an e mail , but basically moving this week, then can hopefully get on w...

hi i'm not sure which section, this one seems as good as any. i'm moving workshop to do my m60 conversion due to lack of space in the old one. one of the perks though was that i could use my mates tools of which he had a lot. the main part being a halfords proffesional tool kit, which worked well an...

i'm planning to put a small master in the battery area. But in middle of moving workshop and in kansas for a week with work so no chance to do any research

very nice car both of them, loving the gt6 my last car was a mk3 one

not as nice condition as that one, but blooming reliable

not trying to hijack thread just love gt6's

what do you study again its some sort of engineering isnt it? i feel rather bad about asking all these simple questions considering i'm meant to be an engineer but we are busy as hell at work at the moment so just havent got any time to research the project, :cry: though it is good we are busy at wo...

any ideas about my lack of pin number nine?
