E30 Zone

i dunno the answer to either of your questions but i've owned my 'is' for over 2 years now and its fantastic it gets generally abused all the time and it just seems to lap it up there not the fastest car on the road by a long shot but get on a nice twisty road and keep the revs above 4k and you'll b...

i'm from newton aycliffe the county durham variety (dunno if theres another )
did the seller also have a white tech 2 on alpinas and a grey one the same

my tax is up next month then mines getting put away under lock and key

you'll have to go see dirty nige winkeye in bishop aswell, he's normally more expensive than john but his work speaks volumes he's turned out loads of shit hot dubs for people ,he's just touched up deans tech 2 and didnt charge him a fortune http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=54.658288,-1.675512&num=1&...

alex, my mate john has a place on aycliffe industrial estate called body modz
his works resonable but his prices are fantastic

i dont use my e30 everyday so it might be parked up for a few days at a time and after them few days i get the urge to flog it on and get summit differant but the second i turn the key i get a smile and by the end of the street i'd never part with it and i've probably spent more time under it than i...

check the back arches and door bottoms other than that there a spot on cheap car i've had 3 year out of mine and it never skips a beat and it gets the death all the time

the irwins are fantastic i've only ever had them not work once trying to remove an exhaust stud it sheared first

but there fantastic 99.9% of the time

when i did a manual conversion on mine the original auto starter wont work it just spun away to its self when i swapped it for the one off the manual car it worked fine and they looked (to me) identical

sounds terminal to me my friend as i'm a really nice person i'll give you 50 whole pounds for it

sorry i had no constructive advice

Just dont build the revs up and drop in D

thats not even funny alex

i know this is away from the op but does anyone else think autos sound wrong i hate the noise they make

i'm really sorry guys but i'm about to pi$$ you's all off my cabby stands me at the £1000 mark and i've since added nearly new apex springs n shocks all round (i came to an arrangement with a fellow zoner and spent the day working on his house for these ) and got rid of the horrible auto box and in ...

alex ditch the auto mate its the best thing you can do for it

well done
i'd maybe check your idle control valve first bud
then i'd ditch the autobox (the devil made them)lmao
also

and welcome to the zone from a relative newby tis a good place to be

i'm assuming the plate on the white cabby is for photos and shows if not how do you not get pulled everyday of the week??

i'd love black n silver plates on mine but i swear the local plod would be parked at the end of my drive waiting for me

i've bridged the remote from the live on an amp loadsa times its never damaged my amp

alex wait until you get your 2.5 on the road you'll definatly think your gauge is broken then
you put fuel in

the needle goes up

next time you look the needles back down again

and that i'm afraid happens in a very short space of time

do it its the best thing i did to my cabbie off your donor car you will need .... gearbox with slave cylinder prop (point to note my donor was a coupe and the centre bearing mount was different) pedal box with master cylinder fluid resevoir fly wheel reverse light switch loom things that a probably ...

yeah i've been in two minds about the lenses they were on when i bought it i'll get round to doing summit about them at some point

hi dean,
yeah its a good pedal box

its about time you got on here lad
get some piccy's up bud

195/50's buddy

15" buddy

imho it depends on how heavy footed you are

i'm the proud owner of a super huge lead foot

and my auto box lasted no time at all

cheers for the advice trevski
ps your car looks awesome red cabby ftw lmao

looks very nice and the same as mine :P if you click my sig pic below it will show you what colour the sill should be, key it up they use stone chip and after thats dry a coat os satin black will make the black trim not so prominant! looks very low to :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: http://i989.photobuc...

problem is if i remove it i'll be left with clip holes that'll need welding
hmmm decisions

the trims as per standard as far as i know but its suppossed to be black below the trim
i may be wrong like sure some one will correct me if i am
i dunno weather to paint it black or red below the trim as its mainly overspray instead of being painted

i've not had my cabby very long its been emotional so far first off my ecu packed up after 3 days of ownership then my autobox spat its dummy all within a month or so BUT all is well now :D :D :D i got an ecu from ebay and a mate of mine let me strip his rotten tintop for a manual conversion in exch...

i'm sorry to say this but i had a bad experience dealing with fmh thankfully i was given a refund as my item didnt turn up after over a month but i found him hard to get a reply from

i'm in the middle of this conversion at the mo for the spigot bearing i went to a local bearing traders and asked for a 10 mmx 32mmx 12mm 12 mm being the imput shaft size and 32 mm the overall size and 10mm deep the charged me the huge sum of 2 great british pounds cant be robbed :D the actual mecha...

i had a look on eurocarparts and couldnt find the filters i'll give em a tinkle my plan is to service the new box on the bench before i put it in the car

i'm hoping its not slim pickings winkeye firstly where can i get a filter for a 325 switchable autobox plus a rough guide price pls plus how much of what oil will i need secondly are the windows on a cabby supposed to drop a little when opening and shutting the doors as my windows catch my roof a ta...

i've not read it all but i got the idea bud and that sucks big time just shows though a bit of graft goes a long way most people would have written them seats off my cab looked very similar to that when it came back from paint white n red wet residue and polish everywhere i still keep finding it i w...
