E30 Zone

Near Swansea, South Wales. There's not many E30's down this way, sports are even rarer. My minds made up now, its going in the garage next monday, its gotta be on the road within 2 weeks. It is a genuine sport, so going by the feedback i cant lose really. Cheers zoners, just what i needed to hear.

unless it's a proper nail you can't go wrong with a tech 2 bought for £500 Have you checked for rust under the bodykit? that would be the deciding factor for me Lol! It aint that bad, all the underneath has been undersealed, the only real rust issue is below the rear number plate and a few bubbly p...

keep going at it mate they aren't major major jobs they are a joy to own daily especially a good sorted sport, are you sure the clutch has gone and it's not a master or slave cylinder or fluid? Last time i took it out, i went to pull off like a loon and the clutch slipped like a bitch, its nearly d...

I bought my sport about 3-4 months ago, it'd been standing for the best part of 4 years. 99000 miles on the clock. I knew then it needed work-jus didn't think it would be that much. The more i poked around the car, the more work i found, some cowboy has had hold of this and made a right meal of some...

Had a letter from the insurance firm today. There gonna pay out £600 on a cash in lieu basis, so i can repair it myself. So i'm pretty chuffed with the outcome.

Out of a matter of intrest how has the 1st case gone. I just read the thread and seems the scum bag who hit you has been trying it on. Still waiting on the 1st case to go to court, which is a nightmare! My solicitor is fairly confident due to the fact it was a rear end shunt. Update on the front en...

Poor chromey :cry: BTW mate the fact he is african is irrelevant :? He is a **** though :P Bonnet may well be "straightenable" and keep an eye out for a matching 2nd hand wing and grill. Ask your dumbass neighbor for some money to cover it. Jobs a gooden. At least the bumper is not damaged! Just to...

How much dosh did they give you last time?

£650. but it was practically mint then.

My dumbass neighbor, (who is african and cant drive for sh*t) reversed out of his lane 12 ft across the pavement into my 318 this morning. http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm473/Dangerman_08/DSC00197.jpg http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm473/Dangerman_08/DSC00195.jpg So looks like it's going to...

You could try the wanted parts section on here... Or try www.1stchoice.co.uk

Thanks for the input. Will crack on with that later in the week. Been changing the Discs and pads all day, Brembo, all round, very nice! :cool: Took the sport for a little test drive, ended up going to far, snaked up the rd, spun out and hit a kurb :o: So new rear arm to go in the week + 1 oz multi ...

Are these inlets/outlets? should there be anything coming off them? http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm473/Dangerman_08/DSC03703.jpg A different view. I can see something was there/has been removed. http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm473/Dangerman_08/DSC03705.jpg Wanted:Haynes manual for 1989 32...

I been rolling on a 60mm drop for the past 10 months, the issue i got is speed bumps, and multi storeys. The only real problem i have is each time i go over a bump the exhaust drags over it. Try a higher profile tire or a bigger rim, doesn't solve the problem, but sure helps.

Once again, thanks for your input Brian. I shall let you know the outcome.

Has anyone any ideas?

Problems with the central locking mod... Today i done the easy to follow 'red/black' mod guide http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=79331 Did it all as shown in the pictures, very simple, and yes the live pins were corroded! Plugged the connecter back in and now i have no ...

Ok, thanks Brian. Shall let you know.

Right where 2 start? 1. Central locking, as i've seen from previous posts from members with locking problems i decided 2 tackle mine myself. Not being the worlds most intelligent enthusiast, it didn't take me long to find myself in a pickle. Now i've only just read BrianMoore's locking mod, so i'll ...

My 318i is dropped 60mm on 16's. Great fun to drive, till you come across a speed bump, pothole or trying to park in a multi storey. Plus due to the camber lots of uneven tire wear. Still... looks the bollocks

?????? What's he claiming? You reversed into him at high speed? He's claiming i over took him and slammed on. He'll still struggle with that one as the impact is "square" in the rear, if you were overtaking and then veering into his lane whilst slamming on then the damage would be concentrated to t...

What was muppet driving? An M reg fiat punto, and claiming his paint job was worth more than my old peice of s**t. LOL! Had the engineers report back, i should be getting £650 for the car. The personal injury, well they wont give me a valuation til i've had 8 sessions of physio (for the whiplash) a...

Speedtouch wrote:Remarkably little damage for a 30mph impact. Was the chassis/boot floor bent? Just that from the photos, it looks like a relatively easy car to repair.

No, just the back panel. but it'll cost me more 2 repair it than, 1. i paid for the car. 2. what the car is worth.

The 1st car i've owned in over 2yrs... http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm473/Dangerman_08/DSC00247.jpg Then some local asbo (on the f***in phone) comes in2 the back end at 30mph http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm473/Dangerman_08/DSC00212.jpg http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm473/Dangerman_0...

Got them on the front of my car... Great for understeer! Proper nasty! Get some milleniums, faultless in my experience.

Hell yeah! LMAO

Type r's, clio sports, ford st. Clit cars in my opinion. We all know its all about the driver not the car .

Who wants to race in a straight line? Where's the fun in that?
2.5 straight 6, with a slipp diff.

Need i say more.

Damn???? should it be earthed? The car wouldn't rev over 3 till my mate gave it a knock. Then all of a sudden the engine was running differently (smoother) and hitting limiter. Same happened last nite when i had to move the car. 1st mile she kept cutting out, then all of a sudden the change happened...

http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm47 ... C03590.jpg

I believe its causing the fuel problem on my new 325is, its situated under the coil.

:repost: Some real advice please. Just got it, turns and idles fine, will hit limiter when on a stand still... But as soon as she hits 3-4 grand when driving she dies. Fuel pump + ecu has been changed, but i still haven't got a clue. I know its lack of fuel, :banghead: so please only genuine advice....

Pi sports springs. easy to fit, great value for money, mean aggresive stance and awesome handling. All for under £100

I finally got the car i've wanted since i was teenager, and at last a slip diff. winkeye Got it at a great price, but she needs a bit of tlc. She'll turn over, idle, but as soon as you hit 3-4 grand she cuts out, completely dies. I know the ecu unit has been replaced, apparently so has the fuel pump...
