That's totally amazing, loved every word and picture. What astonishes me, is the length that dedicated individuals will go to to add so much extra to a motor. Basically, that car looks the bees anyway, but to do all that to make it extra special, well mate, you deserve so much respect for that. And ...

Re: Just a few pics enjoy!!!!

With all the 17 and 18 inch rims you see shoved on the majority of cars nowadays, it's nice to see a british car with smaller rims. Normally reserved for the euro crowd's Golfs etc which seems to be forever popular, I gotta say I really like 'em and it's different on an E30 too. Car's superb budd, y...

Re: 318i engine ticking!! help bmw newbie

Mine's definitely sounding more like Maxlee's, tinnier rather than lumpy, but i'd say they're all forms of 'cam-knock'. Am VERY surprised that yours is sounding quite SO Lumpy at 70 odd k BMWshed. Mine's done in the region of 150 odd! It doesn't so much as bother me as annoy me, especially when my S...

Mine does the same too, just for my 2 pennies worth. I've been told it's 'normal' and not to worry about it, and even to "just turn your stereo up mate" ha ha, however, it's NOT normal and I would like to fix it as it's getting worse, louder etc and it bugs the hell out of me. Mine's a 1.8i 8v too a...

Re: fitting a throttle cable

Is that why my 318 might seem really sluggish on pickup? After a while, she gets going, but I had a 1.6 festa that seemed to go quicker?!?!?

318i with 154 odd K on the clock, lowered 40 mil, K&N induction, scorpion system (downpipe back)

Should be fairly quick i'd have thought?

I Placed an excort/orion (as listed at the local HELLfrauds store) exhaust rubber between my stationary rear beam and the top of the exhaust. This cured the 'knocking' I was getting. Now i know it'll burn and eventually wear down, or disappear but it'll do for a trip to Bournemouth and back :? Maybe...

I've got a knocking at the rear of my E30 too. Developed about 100 miles after purchase!?!?! Which didn't impress me in the slightest by the way, anyhow, I remember there being a rubber mount attached to the Scorpion system that held a rubber 'block' to space the exhaust away from the rear beam.
