E30 Zone

As Jos says, I've had no problems with the shampoo at all. The paint on my car is pretty crap - it had gone a nice pink colour in just over 2 years.

Just a Vauxhall Astra, but at least it was built just up the road from the BMW factory.

Keep the Sport, Ken. M3s are like arseholes to be honest. A clean E30 like yours is pretty rare, as most are sheds or rotboxes. Or 318's.

Ken, I work in the Gasworks too, but you (or whoever) was coming more out of the city centre towards the Gasworks.

Ken or Jonny, were either of you in Belfast yesterday? Was a mint looking E30 similar to both yours coming out of Ormeau Ave turning down Cromac Ave towards the city centre around this time yesterday.

There's myself (a Zoner, but with no BMW oddly) and Jos (who has at least 1 E30).

Any Remus stuff I've seen has been very good, but I'm talking from a Vauxhall (Holden to you) side of things - no doubt someone will let you know what Remus stuff for BMWs is like.

Months is hardly going to set oil in the sump, unless it hasn't been changed in years upon years. Tyres might be lumpy for the first mile, and may need some air. Also make sure to apply the brakes to rub the rust off the discs before you actually need to stop at some traffic lights and discover they...

324TD conversion.

I get 400-600 miles to 52 litres of diesel in the Astra. TD is the way to go.

Love the Stilson on the V12. Real driveway mechanicing. ;)

Vauxhall's oil is made by Delco. It's pretty good budget oil, probably better than Castrol Magnatex anyway

I'm a big fan of Silkolene/Fuchs oils. They're particularly good.

THe iX was pretty popular in the States. The Ferguson 4WD system was also used in the Sierra. Considering Mr. Ferguson designed it back in the 50s it's a pretty good system.

If there's coolant going into the rocker cover then there's something very, very wrong with your engine.

There's a few local guys heading over there this weekend too. Looks like it'll be busy.

They're driving a wee metallic blue Nova. Be sure to give them a wave

NCT5 is a good tyre - used by the Police over here, so can't be bad. Probably going to put a pair on the back of my motor when the BF's wear out.

On the Vauxhall side of things, the chips don't tend to do much as Vauxhall always rate their engines low.

For example, my stock 75hp rated 1.2 Corsa dynoed to 80.3hp on a RR that's considered to read slightly low.

NOOOOOooooooo!!!!!11oneeleven

Not P6000. The only thing they're good for is helping to light a particularly stubborn bonfire.

Squashed plug sounds like a broken valve.

Sorry to hear it.

Well, I've used one of those wee round wire brush things that go into a drill to clean the major crap off the side of a Standard Vangard engine, and it worked OK. Again, not wonderful, but it did a reasonable job. I just sprayed the engine with red primer to keep the rust down a bit.

Sand blasting the bare block is the only way to make a really good job if it.

Insurance has come down a lot here in the last few years. They've stopped paying out huge claims, gone are the days of Ãƒ”šÃ‚£20k payout in whiplash claims. Max they're paying is Ãƒ”šÃ‚£4-6k now. I saw a seriously nice E30 320i in black heading towards Holywood the other day, again an english reg, H...

Good grip and good life are difficult to get together in a tyre, unless you go up to the big boys like Michelin, Goodyear or Bridgestone. All the elcheapos are either soft with good grip or hard as hell with no grip. Take something like a Michelin Pilot Primacy HX - they last forever, yet there's so...

I've noticed this too - I know of several E30s with old grannies driving them. There's a totally mint, unadulterated red 320i Touring toddles around near work. There's a very nice black 316i I've seen around the back streets near the house too, again with old granny at the wheel. Someone brought up ...

Slow - nothing else is possible in a 1.2 Corsa with 80hp/tonne.

Another vote for the Potenza RE720. Cracking tyre.

Used that stuff on a diseasal Clio that had head gasket issues. Fixed the head issues, but the stuff blocked the heater matrix. Fine running engine but ice on the inside of the screen in the winter. Replaced the matrix and the old one was totally blocked. Just a word of warning and something to cons...

Your challenge now is to get the light to come on when you unlock the door. ;)

A539 is the replacement for the A520 - the A520 has been discontinued for quite a while. You're likely to be running on old stock if you get a A520 now.

Ah, the old Holiday section trick. Should have mentioned that earlier.

Nice Escrot van.

Oh, and the Beemers too.

Well, come on, look at his name. Obviously just someone looking for trouble, or his parents were taking the piss.

Think they call it a "boss".

Bridgestone all the way.

I've Potenza RE720s on my motor, they'd smash wood into pulp before puncturing, and they're the best gripping tyre I've used (and I've used most tyres at one time or another).

Oh, and they can even make decent F1 tyres.

Anti-squeal shims might be a good idea too.
