E30 Zone

was driving a VR3.2 VW Phaeton for roughly the last year but fancied something a little more fun so sent the big P on and go this today. 2006 (after march so higher tax :cry: ) WRX with 63k on the clock and FSH. totally standard and un molested bar a parrot hands free whatsamajiggy next to the headu...

thats what comes after its all back together, running and motd/taxed winkeye trouble is i do one job on it and notice 3 more that "i may as well" while its off the road. think rear subframe bushes are due a change too, noticed one side sitting higher than the other while shes up on the axle stands :...

cracked her open after work today. all looking good enough in the head/bores. can still see the hone marks on the bores and all, not bad for 140k odd miles. http://imageshack.us/a/img28/1255/3hcd.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img819/4879/5eax.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img854/6089/tqen.jpg http://image...

few teaser pics.. she will be worthy of wearing the ACS badges once the front and rear valences arrive and i get them, the spoiler and the skirts painted. also fitted my OMP stainless steel bonnet pins, the wire keepers (dunno what you would call them?) i made up from some steel (i think stainless) ...

more progress.. test fitted the ACS spoiler, more rust killing and fitted sports shocks in the rear. http://imageshack.us/a/img834/121/bjii.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img600/1931/2m6s.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img16/3047/625v.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img163/4332/9ik5.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/im...

got a new one peice one a few years ago for mine but never fitted it yet. if i recall it wasnt very much.. i got it from border motorworks over here in NI, they post stuff out no problem so maybe worth an email to see how much? http://www.bmwspareparts.com/index.html just dont mention dan or the E46...

haha i know the feeling.. half the time plans go straight out the window. i planned only to stick a turbo on my M20 and thats now turned into a mini restoration with ACS kit, my old mille miglias up for sale to hopefully help fund new wheels and wanting to fit a full interior again as the cars got n...

nice cab.. guessing the tourings being broken to fund goodies for this?

should have some more ££ for you for the valences soon-ish. planning to pay the remainder around the 15th then we can get a courier arranged.

mmm.. bird sh*t looking welds :mad: few passes with the grinder will soon sort that out tho. http://imageshack.us/a/img23/2073/2yss.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img811/6127/b5nx.jpg gonna have to do the same to the other rear arch. also a bit on the rear valence below the towing eye. wont see the sill...

interesting to know.. so no rear ARB seems to work better on track days with non standard (lowered spring/aftermarket shocks)? also how much thicker is the touring rear ARB and are the 4 pot and 6 pot touring rear ARB's the same thickness? touring rear ARB might be a nice little sneaky upgrade for m...

thats a rediculous price.. id rather have as many 100k+ mile E30's as humanly possible for the same price.. id probably end up with 10-15 E30's then, oh the fun i could have with that many..

did BMW ever make a genuine 4 stud version of that wheel or are they all just E36 M3 reps?

if i could tune it on a dyno we could probably try to crack 200.. shame theres a bit of water between us :( had a look for your tune on the laptop but i cant find it, ill check the PC tomorrow when i get a chance as im 99.9% sure i have a copy of it saved somewhere. got a new PC and new lapop a whil...

put me down for a pair also.

and +1 for interest in rears to match..

pm me when/if it comes to deposit collection time as ill probably forget to check the thread.

ask hongkongfuey whats done to his 2.5, hes running an airflow meter and injectors from an M30 with a chip i did for him some time ago and his put out 191bhp and 189lb/ft. think hes got a cam of some sort in there and also a full exhaust. his is that close id love to be able to tune the car in the f...

true.. wish this gas/no gas mig i ordered would hurry up and come. got some bits need patching on the body and my sealey no gas mig only goes down to 55a and just blows holes in the thin stuff

nah, standard M20 flywheel. should have got one when it was converted to manual though..

i can do it in 2nd every time, occasionally into 3rd. M20 needs more power to squeak 3rd properly. once its boosted it will probably light up 1st, 2nd and possibly some of 3rd, cant wait haha

never had any bother finding gears after fitting the poly mounts. i can heel toe down the gears just fine even when braking as hard as possible.. can do it rather quickly also with the M coupe stick too :) id say powerflex trans mounts would probably do the same job.. though i have a feeling the ruf...

the trans mounts dont make too much of a difference driving in a straight line but the first thing i noticed about them was how much easier it was to get gears going round corners quick-ish so rear of engine and box were definately not moving around as much. between the mounts and the Z3 M Coupe gea...

yea but im trying to figure out why they are identical to hartge skirts but clearly branded zender. there must have been some mould sharing or something going on back in the day? also after googling schntzer skirts for the E30 they seem identical to some of the schnitzer items also, allbeit without ...

yea seen those pics which is what got me thinking they must be hartge skirts but they are definately branded zender underneath the skirts. any idea why zender put out a skirt that is identical to the hartge skirt? did zender make the skirts for hartge or something?

ok i scraped off the paint on the bottom where the branding is and they actually are zender skirts.. oddly they look just like hartge skirts though. cant really find any images of a zender skirt that look like these so ill have to troll google some more and try and find out what the story is with th...

yea id expect it to have the name on it somewhere but i mean i saw some that dont appear to have the little recessed bit on the side.. there is branding on the skirts but i cant read it throught the layers of paint.. ill pop out to the shed and strip some off so i can read it.. sort out what brand t...

skirts are rubbery but theres no sign of anything moulded in that recessed bit.. there is branding on the bottom of the skirt along with left and right in german. ill have to sand back some of the paint on the bottom and see what it says as you cant read it under all the various layers of paint. als...

jeez tough crowd

any pics? how much you wanting for them out of curiosity?

i havent played with M50B20 injectors but i can say that M50B25 injectors will drop straight into an M20B25. the M50B25 runs at 3.5 bar fuel pressure while the M20b25 runs at 3 bar. i worked it out some time ago and with the fuel pressure difference the M50 injectors end up only flowing something li...

zenda? haha honestly i dunno what im looking for. i have seen most of the various cool looking E30 kits over the years but only lately thought about putting some sort of kit on mine aside from the tech 1 spoiler and 318is splitter the cars got already. i wasnt thinking id get these skirts as they we...

funny you mention that.. i found a couple pics on google earlier this evening.

can you do the raised enamel type things or is it vinyl/printed only?

ok ill try and bring this up to date as quickly as possible here.. got the car in 09 as a 325i auto, converted it to manual, daily drove it and fixed little things here and there, got started tuning the standard ECU in the car which since spiralled into a little business venture tuning and chipping ...

pair of sideskirts i bought just arrived today.. they were advertised as zender skirts but i just discovered they are actually hartge skirts going by images found on google. quickly mounted and rattle-canned one of them to give myself a rough idea of how they will look on the car, you can see the re...

cheers dude

few new pics with the new alloys. if anyone knows the name of the alloys let me know, they are mille miglia/1000 miglia but cant find any info on them. http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/4461/s7300746.jpg http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/3861/s7300748.jpg http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6529/s7...

i seperated the wires and taped them up and all is working as it was previously.

this was the problem.. casings on all had melted but looks like the blue was shorted to the red (may be red/black, never noticed black on it though).

fairly sure i found atleast 2 wires shorted together where the wires pass through the firewall in the passengers side footwell behind the glovebox. the groub of wires have a tag on them in the footwell saying "kabelmetal electro gmbh FLOSS" and the numbers 1386 258 1, E 3294 A b, 755 510-72 on it. i...
