E30 Zone

a friend of mine has a 318ti compact and is interested in putting an M3 lump in it. is this doable? i would have thought it would be, but i would have thought the ECU and the driveshaft would be the big job to convert as most of the other stuff is similar to the regular E36 on the front end. is this...

hmm yeah....

i thought the timing chains on these and M30s were meant to last the life of the car though. isnt it possible to join the chains together and feed the new one through when the tensioner is off?

yeah.... he likes the sports..... me too... i'd probably try and rebuild the bodyshell on it tho... as i would want any excuse to use my welder.

yeah but my mate is poor and cant afford the fuel on a 325 or similar. its an allright car apart from this... needs some tidying but then again most cars do. so it could be the tensioner? i'll look into that side of things cheers mate....

my mate has a 4 door 316, and it is aparrent that the valve clearances need doing. however, we did the valve clearances and there is still a clatter. could the camshaft be knackered? i always thought M10s were bulletproof..... this one goes allright but its clattery... anyone got any ideas

Saab 900 turbo 16! doesnt look like it goes but it does... the only thing that toasted me off the lights when i had mine was an E46 M3. Lol. same fuel economy as a 325i and sounds nearly as good (standard 3inch exhaust all the way through with 2 boxes instead of 3) they go forever too if looked afte...

you be watching out for pirates fellow cabin boy!

You could also get replacement cluster seals.... i suggested sealant a few months back to someone with same problem and got bombed by Scott. LOL

ive known of these for ages, you could only get them on the continent yada yada yada etc but what is this?

its RHD...... i dont understand.... this may cure my issue with fuel consumption and no e30

Bought my first car after searching through the usual trawl of first cars. i had Ãƒ”šÃ‚£500 to spend and i was looking at AX Gt's, Fiestas, Clio 1.4 RTs, etc..... took an AX out once, hated it, bean can with quarterlights that were too small...... then my dad peered over my shoulder one night while ...

cool beans... any way of telling the differemnce between a stock and a race cam on the M20? never worked on one before you see, (all my e30s have been four pots)

yeah, although i cant find the lead to my digital camera at the mo... stage 2 was done yesterday night, chav bumpers removed and originals test fitted back on. they will be removed today, cleaned up and sprayed to be colour coded.... and a good colour code job too, just like std ones. its also in di...

That was me. the convosation. to be fair i thought he was okay until i went back to uni and wasnt there to buy stuff off him and help with his car breaking mission. lol.. datourer if you want your smoked rears email me your address, my email is (address removed), and we can organise stuff for postag...

Sorry mate, misinterpreted the post... i thought youd actually bought some off someone else and wanted to have these if they were already on the car and were going to be removed. i vaguely remember that some people didnt get their bits when he pissed off to SA. i wouldnt say he was a little prick......

hang on... did you buy them off damtheman?

it has smoked rears, but they are not fitted. they will be. sorry dude.

its all in the pipeline, along with the red neons in the footwell, and the red leds in the brake ducts. if anyone wants some silver mesh to do something tastefull with there is some spare..

no, a chavectomy merely stops it spreading. To fully remove the chavness of this car it has to undergo a chavotomy. LMAO

my mate who knew "damtheman" decided to buy his car when he dissapeared off to SA, and even tho it looks rubbish, F390 MUT isnt actually that bad of a car. due to me and my mate being bored we offered to de-chav his chariot over the course of the next couple of weeks. as you guys know, the only way ...

it wont do because the damage has been done.

the low oil pressure would knacker the camshaft and rockers, as it would run dry due to the M40s bad spraybar design.

dont bother with the wynns noise reduction stuff its a waste of money. the best thing you could do to stop the noise for once and for all would be to get a brand new or nearly new camshaft (from breakers) with the matching rockers, then the noise would go. to be fair trhe only thing that affects per...

Car parks can be a "warzone"... however if i park next to someone who hasnt parked properly, i make it impossible for them to get in their drivers side, so then they cant damage my car with their door. and i take a photo with my phone as to have their reg so if their is any damage i know the car. th...

if i remember any others ill post them too....

also, do you have a sub box in the boot that isnt lashed down? cause i had similar issue and it was that.

nice motor mate, it reminds me of my 1st e30... same colour. the us bumpers dont look that bad from the side....... good call with getting hold of the seats and the plans for the euro bumpers.

yeah... but its a long stoy and ill just get jipped. LMAO

good old fad3n is in athens, greece....

its ok for some

jambacorn: get some duckhams 10w 40 oil, whack that in in your next service, and use that wynns hydraulic lifter cleaner (it did nothing for mine but still try it its not much) it will make it better but wont make it dissapear duckhams oil is best suited for older engines as it quietens it down.... ...

both e30s ive had the rear demister has been really good. i have a bronse tint screen still if anyone needs one lol

i have a spare alternator that is basically brand new if thats any use.... im not sure if they are the same on M10 as the M20
