E30 Zone

i dont have a spare head, or any spares at all,

, decided its goin the distance, soon to be in the for sale saction.

my cars popped, sudden loss of power whilst at 70mph, big miss fire, lumpy idle, slight over heating and frothy and bubbling coolant, i very much suspect the head gasket so want to ask how much time it normally takes?? and do these heads need pressure testing and skimming when they're removed? the c...

not the usual one i mean take your old struts, cut off the spring cup then have the coil over tube welded on?? to give adjustable ride hieght coil overs? im doing it on my mk2 escort and the kits are only £21 per side and springs are only £15, just wondered if anyone on here has done it?? might give...

its already done, i jus cut the split bit off the end n pushed it back on, ive been toying with the webber conversion but need wings 1st, cheers for the reply.

this pipe recently split and made the car drive like a bag of poo, missin, stalling, no power at low revs etc etc, i'm jus curious what it does?? it goes on the bottom of the carb, its a totally standard 316 with original carb. http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/qq252/mk2scort/DSC01142.jpg pipe on t...

ok, nice one, i'll have a look down at the weekend,

my cars being an arse, missing and stalling at tickover, ive had a quick look and it seems to be seaping fluid around the inlet manifold and seaping under the carb on that rubber mounting gasket, but can't see anywhere that sells them, anyone recomend a place??

thats a bloody lovely motor, wouldn't mind lining up against that for a blast :cool: what spec is yours running? pretty sure Bills is running a 1740 Burton or along those lines mines a 1660 xflow, kent 234 cam, 1300 flat top pistons, stage 2 head, kawasaki ninja bike carbs, H&H sports ignition kit,...

im mainly on oldskoolford, ill keep an eye out for him. and as for the prices, i have to agree, they're a bit silly now, specially when my little 1600 xflow out paces standard RS2000's, i have spent a bit of money on it but it makes me smile when we're on a run n they cant quite keep up, hahaha. rat...

no i wasnt at the lakes this year, i will be next year, the cars in bits right now, cracked the head and had new wings n stuff put on, should have it back in 6-8 weeks. thanks for the suggestions, think i'm gonna save the beemer, should look good parked next to the scort at shows, cheers lads.

real ones?? not heard that said bout it, how you mean?

I would agree if you like it save it it doesnt sound that bad.. you got pics of your mk2 please winkeye gotta love how easy a thread ends up with a :gay: post, haha, and as for the MK2, will these do? http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/qq252/mk2scort/100_0453.jpg http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/...

i have a 1988 316 2 door with 71,000miles on, 2 owners, totally standard (apart from the wierd alloys), interior is in pretty much mint nick, boots the same, spare wheels never been fitted, etc etc, BUT the wings have perished last winter, must've been filled with bodge and the cold made it drop out...

14 inch, n yeah the tyres are pretty narrow, but i dont chuck it around much, so not fussed on the handling issues they cause, got a mk2 escort for the fun stuff, heres what they look like on the motor, not fantastic but not a minger, in my opinion anyway. and i'll try n have a good look for any mar...

oh yeah, they're not too nice, but i dont mind them, had the car 9 months and the seem to suit it, so not gonna change them anytime soon, plus, thay get alot of grip in the snow n shit over winter,

these are on my e30, all the paper work i have indicates that they were on the car when it was bought new from the dealership, but i can't find other e30's with them, they're rolling on 175/70/14's, i know they're not worth anything, jus wondered if anyones got them or had them?? http://i453.photobu...

the car was serviced about 4 months ago when i bought it, i've put a new rev limiting rotor arm and dizzy cap on at the same time, im thinking some new HT leads are needed.

yes it is dude, its the M10 engine

its overheating on the move, it cools down alot when i drive with the bonnet popped, its like a massive air scoop, lol

1988 316. over the past few weeks my car has started to miss when i accelerate, its fine at full throttle but when i want to go it jerks and then accelerates , also, it does it alot more after a fast run, sitting at 80ish, then last week i looked at the temp guage it was almost on the red (in town),...

on the 316 i'm with CIS, have been for years, very good service and you can drive any other car 3rd party, even if your cover is only 3 party, fire n theft, or at least they used to, defo do if your fully comp. and they do an online quote, but its best to ring them.

agreed, though i dont know if the mk3 escort would be classed as a classic yet, but i have a mk2 escort on normal insurance and a 86 316 on normal, 2 seperate policies, both come to less than £400 in total, but i have 6yrs ncb and im 24.

hahaha, i had that thought, i kept blaming my steel toe cap boots for my mpg, i put some trainers on and its much better now, haha

just a quick thought, how bout not driving at 80mph? :? i have a 2 door 316 and i've found it to be pretty reasonable on fuel, the 316 wasn't designed to go fast, so if your driving it like a 325 then it will be shit on fuel, drive it like a criuser rather than a bruiser and it'll save you loads of ...

cool, i'm not keen on boggs, used them for the conversion on my mk2 escort n the after sales service is shockin, so im stayin away, jus tryin to find anyone who reckons they can make a manifold, but i'll do a search, cheers dude.

has anyone done this before? or more to the piont are there any welding wiz kids on here who think they can make me a manifold?

cheers lads,

i have a 1988 316, and thanks to the snow and ice, all the bodge that was holding the wings together has fallen out, so im lookin for replacements, i've mailed a few breakers and they have red ones like mine, but is there different shades of red, or did they just do 1?

Sadly I only had about 4" this morning!

is this thread still about snow???

well, my 316, with standard everything, including the 175 tires is the best car ive ever driven in the snow, goes where i point it, stops when i tell it too and goes sideways when asked to, ive never been stuck, plus there no bloody dangerous ABS on it, so it stops quicker than my lasses 07 corsa, h...

well, as i was defrosting the 316 this morning, i de-iced the windsreen n flipped the switch to wipe, but only the drivers arm moved, then i did it again n only the passenger one moved, then about 5 mins later, with a filthy windscreen they both stopped moving, on the bypass! :x i get to work, have ...

haha, stop hijacking my thread,

, anyway, if anyone has a decent condition tourer that they fancy swapping, let me know.
