E30 Zone

I've started to get mayo on my oil cap on my 320 cab :cry: It's using water and its gone all milky! so i assume this is surely the headgasket? My friend with a mk2 golf said he has similar symptons and it turned out to be the oil cooler failing, could this the case? What sort of price am i looking a...

try http://www.potn.co.uk they have quite a wide variety of suspension kits.

Mine does not have a zip either

and yes i'm sure and no i won't go outside and check.....

Hi, I've got an '89 320 m20 and i need to replace the thermostat housing as one of the pipes have broken off :( I've got the housing loose, all the bolts out...however it won't come off as it hits the fuel rail, have i got to remove the manifold and fuel rail to remove it?! I hope that makes sense, ...

Yeah, It was funny, the conversation I was having with my Buddy as we were behind you that time was "is that me smelling of burning oil or is it the MG???" it all came apparent after I'd gone past, hopethe old B is running OK, it didn't seem too bad though... Well i can't use the mg at all at the m...

Highly Recommended it, I use it mostly when we run to the Le Mans 24 Hour every year... along with the usual Track stuff, Gavin's B , sorry that's all I've got from Saturday... you get to capture things like this Turn up your sound!!! Cheers Dodge that was on the last session we did when my dad was...

Forgot to say that the other good thing about the SD1 V8 is that its an alluminium block and actually weighs less than the standard cast 1800cc fitted now!

yeah i know but with v8's its more about torque that overall bhp, it will have twice the *bang* than the 4 pot fitted currently. For example a 4600cc v8 Standard Engine Fully balanced, high torque cam only puts out 220 bhp but 280 lbs/ft. With a ported/polished head and cam i should get 180-190bhp h...

I bought it with the intention to use it for trackdays and its proved to be a cracking little car, i've got the handling pretty much sorted using lowered springs, uprated shock absorbers, front and rear anti rollbar etc. But the only thing its really lacking is top end speed on the straights which i...

Dodge what camera set up did you have?

I wouldn't mind getting some footage next time...

Excellent day, first time i have done Donington in the rain :D Was nice to meet you Dave, was it you that had the red e30 spin right in front of you just after the Craner Curves on about the 2nd lap? I was in my mates MK2 golf GTI that spun off as we tried to avoid both of you! lol My MG didn't surv...

Not long now :D wonder what the weather is going to be like?!? :mad: Important note for those wanting a passenger ride with Davetouring -you must be there first thing and attend the breifing in order to be a passenger... No briefing = no passenger wrist band. I would offer passenger rides in my MG b...

So you enjoyed it then

Glad to hear the car performed well with no issues - where are you thinking of booking the next one? going to go for a circuit this time? Donington Silverstone, etc

www.potn.com - i got a gmax kit from there

Glad its getting fixed

That happened so quick you had no chance of trying to control it

unlucky.

What camera set up have you got? as i want to get some footage from my trackdays and i currently have no kit, no camcorder or mount....

I only started going on trackdays this year and i'm doing my 5th next month so its highly addictive! My first bit of advice is take it easy and don't rush into going quick - sometimes this can be hard when quicker more experienced drivers are on the track but you just need to ignore them- at the end...

Josemi - the most ironic thing about Donington is that its right next to East Midlands Airport and we all know how noisy planes are....

I've noticed quite a few cars having problems at donington with the noise limit :( I remember seeing one guy using his socks to reduce his induction noise!! Last time i went this guy with an elise was to noisy because of his exhaust system and resorted to using a a red bull can and black insulation ...

I've booked for the 3rd Decmeber at Donington and mine went through ok, got the confirmation email etc But i then booked it for my mate who has no internet access and they sent the confirmation details for the wrong event! tried calling with no response, sent an email with no response, then all of a...

I'd NEVER take my sport on the track when its done! Come to think about it, id never have taken my iS or my dolphin grey 325 (pretend SE) on a track either... quality solid cars shouldnt be tracked unless you have money to burn... in which case, you dont drive an E30 as a daily.. you drive a ferrar...

I've booked up, i'll be in the mg though - I wasn't planning to do another trackday until i did the V8 convesion but i couldn't resist at that price as its an excellent price for an open day at Donny. Like Dave said it's a superb track and this will be 4th time there - one thing to bear in mind is t...

Couldn't resist it, i've just booked

I use my MGB Quite regular for trackdays did my last one Thursday at Silverstone :D Like some other people have said its not about red lining it in every gear as it's not a race. It's all about mastering the track and finding your cars limits. Providing your car is well maintained you should have no...

Thanks for explaining that Adam, I think the big problem with forums is that its very easy to come across the wrong way or even cause offence without actually meaning to.....and in most cases i think this is very much the case. Let hope this thread is a step forward to making the e30zone a better pl...

I've been on the zone for quite a while now and it has changed and not for the better and i don't visit the forum as much any more, as i enjoy looking at forums with less dictatorship! Just things like this that annoy me, http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=19438 I wond...

Giles the way round it is to have tubular manifolds that fit nice and snug to the engine, so it saves you cutting the inner wings. But they still suggest putting vents on the inner wings to allow the heat to escape. I've just priced up a set of mild steel tubular manifolds & join pipes at Ãƒ”šÃ‚£230...

OOps double post!

I've got a '78 MGB GT, http://www.trackphoto.co.uk/events/20051007_Don_LoT_web/A-Orange/UOC671S/DSC_4610.jpg http://www.trackphoto.co.uk/events/20051007_Don_LoT_web/A-Orange/UOC671S/DSC_2793.jpg Pic's from Friday's track action at Donington 8) It will soon be powered by this, http://i3.ebayimg.com/0...

I have to agree Elises are very quick round the track if driven properly. I went on a trackday jointly organised by an MG club and Lotus club and there was some new MGZS 180's(v6) on the track that are around 180bhp and quite high spec (uprated suspension as standard etc) and they could not touch th...

Opps double post!

Cheers guys, might see how cheap i could get it for next time i go.

This made me smile when i saw it

Just spotted this wheel in my local scrap yard, how much do they sell for? i don't need it but thought it might be worth buying and selling on....

My cabs an auto and i can't fault it, its great for just cruising around in, I find the petrol economy pretty good to as i don't tend to race around everywhere in an auto!!

But saying this i do have have 2 other cars that are manuals but if i only had 1 car it would have to be a manual........

It would of been my brothers as he works in Walsall so has to go through Brownhill every day.

Hi Chris,
My brother bought it, which i'm glad about as it gives me chance to buy it back one day
