Jason

great thanks very much for the info, top man!

the ebay lister must have them confused with another model of bmw, will all 4 stud bmw wheels be 4x100?

[quote="e21Jason"]The pcd is 5x120 and you need to change the suspension or use pcd adaptors to fit an e30[/

the wheels iv seen are on ebay with a four stud fitting so may be the lister is wrong and there not off a 5 series?

cheers for the help tho mate.

anybody know if the pcd on a 5 series 4 stud is x100? and what the offset is need to put them on my e30

316i lux 90 reg

basically checked the plugs as there was a strong smell of petrol in the cabin, evidence of the engine running quite richly, have adjusted the throttle and air flow to how i think it should run idles at 800-850 rpm still runs rich tho anything iv missed? has adjusting the airflow affected it?

inexperienced drifting in the rain = bad idea

all thats left mechanically is to find out whys its running really rich, checked the plugs and they show its rich and can distinctly smell it in the cabin, adjusted both the throttle and the air flow meter so its idling at 800 - 850 rpm yet it still runs rich anybody any ideas?

so got a bit bored and with a dodgy icv decided to remove and clean http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae149/kiefer09_mk2/my%20e30%20project/DSC01187.jpg http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae149/kiefer09_mk2/my%20e30%20project/DSC01186.jpg took the icv off and flushed out the gunk with clutch cleane...

thanks very much mate shall be trying that today, cheers!

cheers mate

yehh fair bit of a bargain, cost 45 for mot and that was it, got the pass towed it home and done what needed to be done

was quite bad when i got it almost a year ago, dealt with it all now tho, well that i know of

slowly gettin to half decent now bar the constant breaking down

been wanting to pressure test but havent been able to buy a tester as of yet, as for the regulator can it be stripped? when i looked at it, it looked like it was a compact unit that couldnt be opened without breaking lol will definatly check and do everything uv said muchly appreciate the advice che...

saying that there is a poor idle issue, will defiantly try this idea tonight! is this the pipe from regulator to injector rail?

right iv checked the fuel pump the regulator the lines the tank itself stopped the leak from the filler neck, had the inlet manifold off, checked the idle, pcv checked steering belt and fan belt and it still cuts out, this morning i just pulled into my parking spot and turned swiftly left and then r...

ah ok thats thrown that idea out of the window lol cheers, got any other ideas that would cause the engine to stop when cornering under load, also by happy mistake realised by taking the fuel feed pipe off the manifold start the engine then reconnect it the engine will start and run up until it cuts...

but would any air getting into the tank and up into the pump cause the loss of pressure? i took the pump out and checked the fuel pressure regulator which both seem fine but havent been able to pressure test it as of yet, just trying narrow down the possible causes, appreciate the info tho cheers.

i put an topic up earlier about engine cutting out, quick question would a petrol leak from the filler neck bottom hose to tank, cause air to get into the system causing fuel pressure to be lost and the engine to cut out?

ok ignore that, the car died 8 times this morning, all at various speeds ngles of cornereing and in a straight line, had to get to college. i rechecked all the wires and theres nothing unprotected touching the chassis etc, iv adjusted the powersteering belt so its not that, adjusted the throttle and...

im actually fairly embarresed to say that it was actually a loose wire connected to the pass door for the central locking that i had disconnected when i removed an aftermarket alarm from it, forgot to reconnect it :o: so under heavy cornering eg roundabouts the wire was moving across and tripping ou...

best way to check there woprking? dont want to go unnecessarily changing the parts, cheers for the advice

no isnt engine mounts checked it while its been running isnt moving.

basically since i changed the oil, filter and plugs etc the car will die whilst driving its only happened three times, and so far its only been when iv started driving it from cold, and noticed that its when i go round a roundabout or take a hard corner, not thrashing it just heavy turning, first th...

yeh passed fine did get adviserys on some rust near the rear arch which was spottable as soon as it was up on the four poster, only missed it seeing as all i got is axle stands lol and the offset on the vw steels cause it to rub on the struts which would of been a fail but know the guys up there and...

ok aim of the game get the smoothed stuff lol cheers guys

not sure if this is the right place for it, but what would the finish be like with hammerite paint if i sprayed my alloys? only wondering as my mate just give me a load of gold and silver, which i reckon would be good colour scheme for alloys, seen that hammerite is used for less showable parts, but...
