Those wheels are feckin awesome, really suit the car.

IMHO of course

Ropeman - I saw that car advertised, looked nice, good purchase I reckon.

It seems their project ewok has changed direction. Not going to be orange now. Hopefully it will still see some development in future issues.

Nice car BTW Ant.

I knew there'd be a simple explanation

Are all speakers correctly and fully attached? I've lost ALL sound on a head unit before because one connection on one speaker dropped out. Stange but true.

If the springs have been on it from day one, they would benefit from replacement.

Are all the front bushes fairly new?

I run pagid fast road pads on ebc grooved discs for track use and find them reallt good but givin the choice i wouldnt buy the ebc discs again. Managed to warp the first pair so ebc sent me replacements. I agree that ebc products leave a bit to be desired, but read this and it points to a pad issue...

lol, things have moved on nowadays!

but you do have to though!

Gotta be a bad earth somewhere.

At a guess, as its common between them, check the battery to chassis is making a good clean contact?

Not sure what your issue is, but it is possible to get the injectors ultrasonically cleaned rather than replaced. Its a cheaper option if you ever need it.

They've given themselves a little problem by producing a 335i which will be quite quick. Hopefully the M3 will be more hardcore a la E46 M3 CSL. The 335 seems to be more of a GT car. 0-60 times are only a small part of the enjoyment. With any luck, they'll stick some AP brakes on the M3 from the off...

Integra is an awesome car, much better on a track than on a road though. Prices are very high, stilll about 8k for a 80k miler. You can get a much newer civic type r with less miles and better engine for the same money. I'd still go for the teg tho. And yes, change the HG, especially if you can do t...

The boxster is a very nice car indeed, handles brilliantly. Shame is looks a bit like a hairdressers car. Only the S is worth bothering with, the standard boxster is a car for looks only IMHO. The S is quite quick, TBH fuzzy I would expect you to beat one in a straight line, probably not in corners ...

Reverse lights aren't part of the MOT anyway dude.... though they help to see whats behind you when going backwards in the dark

Timing out somehow (belt slipped mebbe)?

lol @ this thread

theres alot of issues with women coming out here

Just accept they're all the same amount of pain in the arse, just some have bigger tits than others

So you'd go for the one that appeals to you least? Good answer. :D sounds daft I know. What I meant was that the s38 is a bit more old school design compared with the s50, its simpler and hence why as mspilot said 'its a tank of an engine and never go wrong' newer engines get more and more complica...

s38 appeals to me more as an engine (not saying its better), but I would go s50.

Depends on whether you want rid of it or not. Two of the options, the car goes, the other it stays albeit in an E30 shell. Personally I just seem to chuck good money after bad on all my cars so I would try and fix it. Another option would be to turn it in a track bitch. Would be great to see a hard ...

I've got a lightened flywheel in my car (not an E30, but principles apply). Basically revs rise and fall more quickly, around town in stop start traffic, this can be a bit of a pain in the arse just because of the lack of enertia in the flywheel. You have to adapt your driving slightly to deal with ...

Sorry to hear this bud, I'm sure it will all work out, just remember to stay calm and don't resort to arguments with him. You're much more likely to get a good outcome if you're not shouting at him.

What does your mate say?

Everyones got a different opinion, need to respect other people point of view. It would be nice if every member of the zone felt a kindred community spirit for each other, but less face it thats unrealistic. Seller can sell for what they want and if a potential buyer isn't happy with any aspect of t...

im listening to dire straits ''sultans of swing'' through the clarion and original pioneer speakers

you're just having an 80's timewarp moment aren't you?

This should work: http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... wforum&f=8

I have a good friend with a CSL and the brakes are indeed shite as standard, but, the AP conversion for them is excellent and sorts the issue. Its an awesome track car, I think there's some footage here: http://www.justgofaster.com/Media/VideoGallery/tabid/132/Default.aspx have a look at Bedford GT ...

Hi. I have to say that I disagree with Andreas, at least in part. I use old tyres on track purly because with newish road tyres, the tyre will very likely overheat due to block movement. This will eat the tyre quite easily and ruin a perfectly good set of road tyres quite quickly. Old tyres have muc...

thanks. sounds like I can include a 320 in my hunt and upgrade as time allows.

One more question - is it easy/worth it to upgrade an auto to a manual? I see lots of autos coming up but few manuals.

thanks

is it difficult to put the 325 engine into a 320/318? Thinking any loom issues really?

Hi guys,

what a coincidence, I'm looking for a touring for exactly the same reason.

useful thread.

Tell me, is a 320/318 touring any good for drifting or are they underpowered.

The eagles come in GSD2 pattern only in your size. See http://www.goodyear.co.uk/services/tyreguide/feat_eagle_f1_gsd3.html The GSD2 is a good tyre but a bit harder than the 3. On the road, the 3 will grip better from cold, but the 2 will last longer on track (IMHO). Also, I have used a set of Kumho...
