That would be good enough for me, can you PM me his details? Cheers fella

Anybody know of any scrappers in the South that will pick up a non-rolling shell for metal value?

Can only find scrappers interested in 'whole' car so far.

Arse, I'm buggered then. Cheers for the reply!

I was cruising along the M1 when the engine started coughing and the accelerator gradually stopped working. Pulled over and got towed home, and noticed an oil leak from underneath the clutch area, wasn't the best light but had a good poke around and saw that there were two holes open on the side of ...

Ah, my apologies, I misread it as a yearly event! Must have been the mention of the year anniversary that threw me off. Thanks for letting me know, but no need for the capitals next time - it was a genuine mistake.

Just moved to Nottingham from down South and keen to say hello, when's the next one? This is really difficult to work out when the meet is held on the FIRST MONDAY OF EACH MONTH! I read the first and last pages and couldn't find any mention of that. Do hope you won't be at any of them if that's how...

That's a shame, but I don't blame you, that Porsche is lovely.

If on the off chance you decide to break it, or sell any of the goodies, would be v interested in the coilovers, steering wheel and rear beam

I'm building a CR32v at the mo

Seriously tho Rav get posting some more pictures, I keep getting excited when I get a notification but nooooooo pics

For 2 i'm assuming? Where from? Need to order a set as some vw chap put superstretched on these alloys

Those rear-facing seats are so funny to drive behind - anyone sitting in them always feels a right lemon you can tell by the way they don't dare make eye contact.

About 18mpg when I treat the pedal like it's made of thin glass. About 12 when I drive it 'normally'.

M20B20 auto. Don't buy one. Ever.

Soon to be replaced by an M30, which will probably be as thirsty, but at least fun..

My advice, fit the modern stereo you want, when you need to serve the car up to some paedo type and it needs to be all OEM bufty like, replace with the old snotter headunit.

this!

You can't complain that cars look the same and then suggest using original wheels in the same breath, it's a ridiculous contradiction. I wasn't the one saying most VWs wear BBS-styled wheels and look the same actually, you were :mad: And in your first sentence you seem to comprehend that BBS wheels ...

Why do people want there cars to look the same? Its a little boring and then... but would look great on original wheels or alpina wheels from that era! That doesn't even make sense dude. It's quite simple, a lot of people believe cars look better lowered. The majority, in fact. The BBS mesh-styled ...

Haha worst comes to worst paint over the brake light with a rattle can so you can't tell it's meant to be one. Should pass then.

Sprayed whilst ON the boot

Did stevie paint it?

Spot on advice everyone, thank you. Reckon I've enough info to bite the bullet now

Also chuck a cheapo black heck spoiler on instead of that blue monstrosity for now

Cheers, hadn't considered the ford studs. Rallynuts do a set of generic conversion studs which would make life a lot easier, as don't have the tools to smooth bore the hubs myself. These seem about right: http://www.rallynuts.com/wheel-studs/ait-m12-x-150-to-m12-x-150-conversion-wheel-studs.html E30...

Lots of fun:

Is gorgeous, isn't a Mike Burroughs car though, he just took the pics, it's his mate's I believe. He's rocking an E9 now, and it's bloody sexual: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6028/5949268529_1cac5d8e33_o.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6140/5949825606_32f0d86dc9_o.jpg More at: http://www.stance...

Keep the Hartges, they look superb. If you can manage to de-chav as much as possible I reckon that colour could actually look quite good. It certainly does in the photos of just the front arch.

As title, anyone know where I can get a wheel stud setup from for a normal 4x100 E30? Fed up of fannying about lining up spacers and extended bolts.

Both fully dressed yeah, the only thing I'm unsure of at the mo is whether it was a euro-spec S50 or a US-spec S50, will give him a buzz to ask. I'd love to have the opportunity to weigh the same shell fitted with both motors on a 4 point scale, to check the distribution etc. My point isn't to prove...

Not sure why people are so obsessed with an M30's weight, paired with their respective boxes the S50 actually weighs more than the M30. Tested on scales by my buddy.

Sepang Bronze, my favourite BMW colour ever. Was never standard on an E30 though: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f121/sk8trhockman/262186_170954126301812_161354103928481_471062_199989_n.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f121/sk8trhockman/IMG_20110619_083730.jpg Also, looking forward to seeing...

That's one beautiful exhaust. Sound clip coming?

Looks awesome, what lip is that?

Perfect opportunity to fit some fogs

I do love the look of minty panels

Definitely mate

I'll have a go now

The only plastic there is the Airbox, and the cover for the AFM

Haha not even slightly! Given the choice between M50 and M30 I go M30 every time. But between S50 and M30, it's got to be S50. And looks-wise, there's no contest for me

Your photo only looks better than the one I posted because of the angle, and can still see lots of messy wires and cables in it. Also, I see lots of plastic too!!!

My plates were about £9 a pair delivered from eBay, too. Very cheap way to improve looks a lot. Can find the seller if you're interested? This is what almost all of the M30 transplants I've seen look like: http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs435.snc3/25059_10150115907350006_534430005_10961006_5755960_n....

As much as I think the 24v preachers are a bit :gay:, the plastic excuse is pathetic. I remember the first time I saw an M50 in an E30 bay and all I could think was holy fuck, that engine was designed to fit there. The fit, look, everything, was just perfect. I love driving M30s and low end torque b...
