yep adapters and spacers do eat bearings quicker, but its sometimes and easier way to get the look you want from the cars stance.

That's right Steve, its the last Wednesday of every month, had one last night too. Next on will be Sept.

Felix, cheers mate, i'll take you up on that just to be cheeky, i've had a couple of 325s. Just wondering what its like in a touring.

lol, yeh it was mental weather.. ah the brown caddy, he's only just bought that, we did a few things on it, but most of that was built by the previous owner himself. keep an eye out, we are going to do another car in the bar soon ;)

Were you at the last one with the mk1 i chromed, in the bar?

wow boys got talent!!! Some lucky southall boy got your old one now

Are you at ultimate BMW boss? Would love to have a look at your motor and have chat paaji

So who's taking me for a spin at ultimate bmw ??

Lovely motor mate, love the wheels and stance, looks sweet in brown too...

First motor i saw in brown was Sunnys 190, you probably know him, another body shop boy from london, but East sides (works at jags place). Got to be the sweetest touring i've ever seen mate.

Hey Dips, not seen your e30 there mate, and you Rushy, get down there.. I organise it along with a mate of mine from London ends. The meet is called prept, more details and pictures at www.prept.co.uk

Whipsey thanks for the link mate. E30 m3 bits, now that must be like rocking horse poo nowadays.

So how about adapters, i know the 4 x 100 to 5 x 120 over lap slightly, apparently FK are now making them though?? Any one know?

I don't know if this is the right section, but was wondering, what is required in terms of parts and work, to convert a 4 x 100 e30 to 5 x 120 fitment.

e36 hub conversion?

Thanks Morat, i would definately be looking for a well looked after model, else you always spending that money later on the car if its a little rough to begin i guess.

Wow!! thats awesome!! The BBS really suit it!!

That looks sweeeeeet

Nice motor mate, wheels look tough in that colour. The shot in front of the speed hump looks cool

Think i'll have a run in both, any one up for handing me their keys at ultimate bmw

As for an e36... its like the mk3 of the vw golfs, what was BMW thinking? I absolutely hate that dipped side skirt they have put on them. Its so wrong!!!

Cheers lads, now its all about the sound, i'll have to go hear a 318, may be at ultimate bmw show. As for engine conversions, i just want a reliable e30 to be honest, don't want to have the car off the road for a period of time... rather stick with the original lump. Just going to use it, and restor...

Right. i've driven them all and owned a couple of 325s but now looking for a touring. Is the 316 and 18 really not powerful enough, or are they fairly good all rounders. I've been told the 320 is sluggish and a heavy drinker, a 325 i know is lovely. So basically wanted to know is the 316 and 318 mod...

Toplines are nice, but you can't beat a set of 9 x 16 borbet Bs

Its going to be cruised more than thrown around corners to be honest, just got used to driving this way now. Must be getting old, or maybe because i'm almost always carry some type of load in the back. So boring around bends etc is not an issue.. boring to look at would be a no, thats why i love the...

So frenchy you would say a 2.0 e36 for economy, a 318 if i want to rev the t1ts off it.

Or a 325i e30 if i just want to look

Oakey is yours manual or auto?

Also what mileage should i be looking at, for a cambelt change to be done on the history?

Well no point in a 320 if i can get the same cost out of a 325. Do they insure under classic insurance category yet?

thanks agan

Hi all Right i'm looking to change my motor for an auto, and an estate, after looking at many diesels, i keep forgetting the sensible option and following what i always wanted, a nice e30. Just a few questions, to help me make my mind up.. 1) Which would be the best engine, i need something (fairly)...

The frost kit is definately the best one for a DIY job, closest you will ge to a professional job.. or you can give me a shout and check some of the finishes we do in the gallery here: www.pureklas.co.uk What wheels are thy that people are refurbing, as its best to polish to a line, if your wheels h...

There is a good kit on frosts website. It about 45 pound. Great for people who want to give it a go them selves, and for small areas like ips of wheels. IÃƒ”šÃ‚´m not sure if its compatible with a regular drill. should be fine as long as the mops large enough. The compounds are supplied with the kit...

As long as you give them a dry wipe at the end of each day, with a micro fibre cloth, you will not have to polish them often. Make sure you chamois them at the end of the day if they are wet. Its more difficult for the dished wheels as the water and dust has some where to sit. Personally i would say...

I would have a Passat B5 in a dark green with beige leather and merc toplines on it.

Give lloyds direct a call mate. I must have called about 12 insurance companies, and they were all about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£540 fully comp, i called lloyds and they said Ãƒ”šÃ‚£320, thats protected no claims fully comp. I had to go through the details again to make sure she hadn't made a mistake. Next company i...

jealous bstards ...

Was the motor parked in an area with cameras nav?

seen some vw's using them too 4 x 100 ..

but yep would need spacers... they do look good though.

So basically if its a low owner, fully regularly serviced one, and clean, then the engines are not really and issue i take it.

cheers lads, this will help me make my decision as to which motor to get now for some of the work i do.

Much appreciated

I'm looking ot buy an estate, and looking at the touring and vw golf estate. I know how strong the vw engines are, and roughly when its time to start looking at a rebuild, but i was wondering if some one could let me know at what kind of mileage would it be sensible to consider rebuilding an engine ...

:bling: 8) How long does it take to polish those up? I've done a few small things and it take forever! The results are certainly rewarding though! :D A good few days mate, not too long though, as we got the heavy duty machines .. Jonb? How can you put toplines.. and tints n chrome arches in the sam...
