Geoff

I was out testing my new touring today after going through the brakes to ensure all was well, got to a junction looked right, looked left, pulled out and a big bang, wondered "what the hell is that" so nursed it home, not really driving as nice as it should be, parked up and looked under the back en...

yes it is nick stoners car in my sig, i sold it tol him a`while back, bin to the garage today and steamed all the green moss off my car and give it a quick wash, it looks great, cant wait to polish it and sort out the water features i have in the back lol

Well after nearly 12 months of non e30 ownership i'm back again (new i would) today i wntto look at a 2001 WRX scooby in blue with 82k on the clock,very nice car but for some reason it just didn't gell so didnt buy but while i was out i nipped into a local garage where they happened to have a 325i t...

Maybe a silly question but i'm an infrequent user of this site since selling my E30 but is the E30 touring with racing stickers and a full cage anyones on here, i saw it a few times whie i was there and thought it looks the nuts. 1st french car i saw on departing the port was a 324d i was so tempted...

Thanks for the comments guys, not only does the car look like new it also smells like new. interior wise i agree with you, it needs a leather nob and a blue leather gaiter, i have a Z3 short shifter to fit somewhere and the plan was to replace these parts then, as for the under bonnet i can see what...

The engine and engine bay are exactly as i got the car )appart from servicing of course) I didn't want to steam it off as it still has the factory wax protecting it all, you can make one with 200k look like new with a steam cleaner. If i keep the car it will have a fresh 2.7 dropped in

finished now so youve missed it, goreous car

Geoff H

MIB 627 reg Mike Brewers own car, does he get on here

Geoff H

E30 M3 on rite now, ITV

Geoff H

so why not just chip up the standard eta lump

I'm all confused now, can i not put 325 pistons onto the eta rods and build it in the eta bottom end and put the 325 head on, if putting the 320 head on keeps the same compression ratio how come it produces so much mor power and torque that with the eta head

Geoff H

Thanks for that, you seem to have hit the nail on the had with what i want out of the engine and the car, i have a nova that is my toy and my E30 is my baby but it is used every day for every day duties so i'm never going to throw huge amounts of money at it i just want it to be quicker as i'm fed u...

so what advantage do i get from the 325 head, could i not just port the 320 head to the same shape ports as the 325 and if possible fit 325 valves (question i will be asking later) it will cost me Ã‚£80 to have my block decked and Ã‚£45 to have my early 325 piston skirts machined so not stupid money...

Thanks for all the replys but one thing i'm still struggling to get my head round is what is the advantage of using the 325 parts and skimming the block etc over just putting a 320 head onto an eta bottom end

Sorry if i seem thick

Geoff H

Thanks for the replys, i need to build the engine and get it installed over the winter with very little spare time and many other projects so think i'l try and put the 320 head onto the eta bottom end and see how it fairs, whats the difference between the 320 head and the 525e head then

Geoff H

fowler - Which rods would i use? what differences are there in the early and late 325 pistons and what machining would the head need? that sounds like a completely different way than ant suggests

Geoff H

Thanks for the replys, so basically either way will give me good power and torque figures. I run a garage and have built a few engines now so the putting together of the bits isn't a problem, its just all the different options people use it gets confusing. Basically in my eyes the simplest option is...

Hope you guys don't mind this post as its probably all been covered but i cant find the info. Rite, i have a H reg 320i with low miles, i also have a complete engine from a D reg 325 Sport and a 525e complete engine. My question is which is the best option with the parts i have? Do i put the head of...

Fitted my slipper today and it has brought it down to just over 2000 at 60 so i'm a lot happier, it also gives me the longer legs needed for when i have more power

Cheers all that replyed

Geoff H

why were the iS's the only ones to be galvanised, that means my minty fresh SE is even more of a testiment to the previous owner

Geoff

What fluid should i use in my LSD, i what grade of oil, any special requirements

Cheers for your help

Geoff H

Cheers Turbo, anyone else with any figures

Geoff H

Anyone?!?

I was just wondering what most of you lot get speed/revs with in to gear, so i can compare mine. Iv recently replace my 2.0 aut box with a 325 sport box but as yet havn't fitted the slippy diff from the sport, im still running the 2.0 auto diff, now in fifth at 60 mph im doing 2900 rpm. So what RPM ...

I have a 325 manual box from an 87 D reg Sport, is there and difference between this box and the ones found in the later face lift cars say H or J reg

Cheers For your Hepl

There was no washer spacer on my auto flywheel apart from the big 3 pin one that goes between the torque converter and the flywheel, also if the washer goes betwwen the bolts and the flywheel, what is it there for as it will no alter the distace betwwen the pressure plate and the release bearing Geo...

What engine are we talking as some suffer with pourus heads and this sounds like a prime example, don't forget it takes bugger all oil in the water to make a rite mess

Geoff H

well in just converting my auto to manual but have missplaced a few bits and i dont want to put it altogether if the thin washer needs to be there between the crank and flywheel, if there is even a washer at all
