bit of a break through. we disconnected the MAF sensor and it runs almost perfectly! very strange!

ok thanks, il check the pipe under the cover, where is the cyclone valve? ive got a new intake pipe coming as ive only taped it for now. the car is so slow its almost un-driveable, you can put your foot flat down and it wont make a difference. its funny because my neighbour's management light has co...

dont quote me on those codes, thats just from memory

hi, p0170 and p0173 cheers

it says something like banks 1-3 4-6 deviation? thanks il check the pipe tomorrow, what normally happens to the running of the car if a lambda sensor is faulty? i know some cars dont drive much different if the lambda is knackered.

hi, ive been trying to repair my friends e46 328 i scanned the car using my ethos, it came up with several codes, after replacing the cam shaftsensor and the thermostat control sensor, i am left with 4 codes..... all of which seem to be related to the lambda sensors codes 227 228 along with two othe...

the wheels are a spot on fit, if i space them out the rim will hit the arch. i dont really want a mega tight clearance incase a stone or something gets lodged in there, this is my daily driver.

I think maybe the camera angle makes it look iffy......

Thanks chaps..... going to start work on the engine in the next few months.

few pics from the snow......Turbo time in january. :D http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss74/dirtydog25/DSCN0461.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss74/dirtydog25/DSCN0462.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss74/dirtydog25/DSCN0461.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss74/dirtydog25/DSC...

That 'was' my old work horse lol, i sold it yesterday. Had a 200bhp v6 in it though.

ps...headlight wipers will be back on soon, ive just sourced a set of working motors

no worries dude, I built it how I wanted it and i like it exactly how it is. it is a tidy sport tho, certainly not 'Mint' by any means, most bushes have been replaced to be honest, it drives straight as an arrow and isnt as bumpy as you'd expect. The wheels and ride height can always be put back to ...

Cheers chaps, nice to hear some good things about it after the time i spent getting him back on the road! il add some nicer pics after ive given it a clean and proper polish up. i only painted the sides a week ago. The wheels are 7.5j lenso's on the front 195/45/16 the rears are 9j 215/40/16 The rid...

ive sorted the dash lights now

found a dodgy connection.
still need to sort the rev counter, and for some reason the speedo seems to be miles out now too???? 40mph on the clock feels like 30

custom springs on adjustable seats, koni rear shocks and some coilovers on the front,

cheers, i love it, only had it back on the road a few days! ive owned it over a year now.

hopefully someone can shed some light then lol

Hi, ive got an 87 325i sport which has a few issues, ive recently changed the clutch as the biting point felt very high and wasnt very nice to drive, however with a new valeo clutch kit fitted, it still seems alot higher than all my other e30's.....Anyone know what else i can do? Ive bled the clutch...

cool, im still fiddling around with mine, il have pics up soon i hope

well......good news......the sport stays a sport, im re-building the engine at present and fitting the triple carbs i already have, along with the deep dished bbs rims and a respray. i just dont have the heart to cut up such a classic car. Thanks for the pointers, especially that legal minefield reg...

Matto thats pretty interesting stuff. quite in depth. i cant work out if cutting half the roof off would mean having q plates or not? that would suck. at the end of the day everything else is going to be the same so it would get over 8 points? thats just your opinion blitz, i would'nt be raising min...

il be doing all the work, im pretty good at fabrication and i run my own garage. I can guarantee it will be done spot on as ive done a pick up before along with various other vehicles, But is it a big mistake doing it to an early sport????? its a bit scruffy at the mo but non the less a complete car...

Hi, not sure if i chose the right category to ask this/discuss. I currently own a genuine 1986 e30 sport and im toying with the idea of turning it into a retro looking pick up truck......ive got a set of triple carbs for it and maybe a set of 9.5 inch wide rear dished bbs wheel, narrower on the fron...

i see, thanks for the info. well done getting them to fit, seems like alot of work involved. im not that fussed to be honest, the calipers seemed like a bargain thats all. cheers

its a standard e30, i just wondered if anyone uses them, i was hoping i may be able to use the standard discs but just use the larger caliper. probably not a brilliant idea mind you.

do this fit the e30's easily? what is involved? any info on them appreciated, ive been offered a set quite cheap and dont want to miss out.

Cheers

cool, thanks for your info there guys. im concentrating on my carb'd one for the time being but will be starting the turbo one in the following months. thanks alot

im still gathering parts at the mo, i shall be starting it in the next few weeks, should only take a weekend to do if i work efficiently. as far as i can tell the worst part about the whole job is the brake servo location. im going to bin the servo and abs set up and fit a bias pedal box. im looking...

oh right ok, where is the best place to find those injectors?can i get them from a different car?
only reason i asked about the timing is because a mate of mine reckons he can build me a chip that will retard the timing by say 6 degrees to allow for boost. bit crude i guess but would it work?
