E30 Zone

Hello all, Ive not been on for a while as some of you know i lost my 320i in a smash while my good lady was driving us all to dinner,ive finally got a settlement offer from the insurers,they've offered me Ãƒ”šÃ‚£350 which i dont think is in anyway a fair offer,i know my car was 18 years old but it w...

I was thinking it was a zoners motor! a mighty sweet car though!

Ive read somewhere that the trailing arms from the 1.9 Z3 is a good modification if you dont want to use secondhand stuff.

Thanks for all your kind messages boys,the family are very keen on another E30,one of the 1st things Lisa said was 'Thanks god it was the bmw and not her citroen'............and you all know you want to see some pics of the dead motor!

...I'll get some up tonight for you all.

Just bruised and battered nothing serious though....thank god!

It was certainly interesting!

As you say cars are replacable mate.

Me,the missus and kids were on the way out for dinner last night about 7pm (missus driving),when as we crested a slight hill and followed a downhill righthand bend at about 40mph,slow for this A road,the back end broke away to the left and then snapped to the right as my other half fought to correct...

Always worth a little elbow grease to save a few pennies,your saying that you wont do it as well as the pro's,but it will help alot if all they have to do is a final bit of prep before painting mate.

Now there's a thought! The mechanicals would be the easiest bit,but the electronics would be a bit of a pain in the butt!

Cool idea though!!!

Not so bad daz,how about you mate?

The missus had an operation for carpal tunnel on wednesday but she thought she'd burst her stitches last night so i spent 2.5 hours at the local casualty dept....oh joy!!! (local means 23 miles away)

Any more developments on the deck mate?

Im pretty sure from memory that as long as the new sills are fitted in the same way as the factory(a complete sill) ie spot welds in the correct place then that is fine,but any repairs/patches must be seam welded to maintain the structural integrity of the sill.
Hope this helps a little

You can buy it on a roll from halfords (its tool box tray lining),or if you pm me your address ill post you some mate?

Tng21 im not being funny here mate but if you can find a double glazing supplier or similar you can but an industrial superglue with an activator spray which is whats used to glue the trim etc onto new dg windows so its pretty strong stuff,just wash with a strong detergent solution to degrease it 1st.

Ill be building some too and i have the advantage of working for a big builders merchants so i get to raid the stock piles for pennies!

As daz says Ãƒ”šÃ‚£180! a weekend with some mdf and filler etc and you could be well proud of your efforts mate,its not difficult to do if you take your time

did you get my pm mate,sent about 5 mins ago?

Could any of you photoshop wizards out there do my a HUUUUUUUUGE favour,id like to see what my lachs silver 87 2 dr would look like on 15"BBS's and 17"alpina reps,but i dont have any mates that have them so would it be possible to do a couple of pics for some beer tokens so i can have a look see at ...

Beemerboy, i dont know if this hasd been answered but MAF stands for Mass Air Flow sensor,its just a different type of inlet system than is fitted as standard....there a few of the boys on here that should be able to explain in more detail for you,hope this helps mate

Or give Bexley motor works a try mate,there at 10a Lion road,Bexleyheath,Kent not sure of a phone number or postcode mate sorry... my mind has gone!!

I actually prefer the non pas feel.,ive found the pas cars can be a bit vague at times

I seem to remember looking at kent cams before but coulnd find much but ill have another look,yep a 272ish range dont want to lose to much drivability

can anybody recommend a good supplier of schrick cams as im planning a 2.7 build and would like to fit a schrick cam as i know they're some of the best around.
Any idea's on what i should be paying? and do they just supply the cam or are cam kits available with springs etc also?

thanks in advance

yep its an airlield in fife,nearer to edinburgh than knockhill and further over towards the coast

yep knockhill or crail

Id personally buy the new rad funds allowing mate,but thats me!

I have a few cells left still,wish i was coming with you mate,until last august i lived about 25 mins from brands hatch

Sooooo not fair!!!!

,show us some more pics then to really rub it in?

Guessing you mean hygroscopic,ie absorbs water and the 5.1 is a silicon based fluid if i remember? as long as you use say 1.5-2 ltrs you should be fine braking systems actually dont contain that much fluid mate,and they dont mix really as ones mineral based and the other isnt so you shouldnt really ...

Chance would be nice,the person was in southend and im in scotland,thats the only time ive not received anything

Sounds good mate,with regards to the brakefluid change ive always found the easy bleed bery good,just fill it it and after a little while of bleeding the new stuff will flush the old stuff out,just make sure the level doesnt drop too far or its air bubble city!

Good luck though mate.

I lost Ãƒ”šÃ‚£60 inc postage,which i really could have done without!

Thats a pretty good price for the full gasket set and bolts from the stealer,you pay Ãƒ”šÃ‚£35+ for just a head set from ecp etc

I gave the person just over a month to send them albeit witmails between so it was too late for a refund....me being to trusting because i wouldnt do something like that!

Im reading this with interest,i bid on and one some replacement snap on sockets as id had some stolen when i was in london,ive got a wife and two daughters so money is at a premium in our house...so i paid for them,payment cleared and ive never recieved anything depite numerous emails and alerting e...

I think maybe we should put it down to and keep it as friendly rivalry,just a bit of fun......i cant afford anything bigger(yet!

)

Lets keep it fun boys as i dont want to see anything get out of hand,be cool
