E30 Zone

i would reccomend one of them wild chips as i fitted one in mine a few weeks back. car is standard apart from a induction kit.
makes a big difference higher up the revs and is much more responsive.
seems to have made it better on fuel aswell if you drive normal.

think i might try this. cheers

haha hope there aint no one in the boot.
i will try get it on ramps at the weekend and have a good look at it

when driving my 325 normally over bumps ect there is no knocking or noise but sometimes when i get the wheels spinning theres a loud bangin noise coming from the back end. thought it was the exhaust at first so go it looked at and my mate says its fine. felt like it could be the probs hitting the fl...

wont it have a lsd aswell if it a sport?
get alot of car for your money with a e36 328.
shame they getting broken up as i quite like em.

cant decide on coilovers or banded steels first haha.
or maybe a mot would be a good idea !

coilovers are for another thread haha.

these ones?

its lowered but not by much. but will be getting dropped 60mm.
love the pics.
was thinking of selling mine until i seen the wheels i want and them pics look awesome.

not to sure on the make but want something as mine seems to roll to much

ive seen some coilovers on ebay that are just over £200
seems cheap to me just wondered has anyone used them before and are they any good?
or would i be better off buying some second hand adjustables with 60mm springs.

ive seen some 8x15 deep dish steelies on ebay that iam thinking of buying but ive never seen a e30 on wides steels and want to see what they look like.
will they fit under the archs ok on 195/50/15s?

i go every month. always a good selection of cars there. its a american car club but over the years theres more and more old skool fords, veedubs ect turning up. normally about 100 ish cars turn up.
its the car park next to toys r us/mcdonalds/pizza hut.
well worth a look if you are doing nowt.

does anyone from the north east go to the metrocentre meet on the 2nd wednesday of the month?
its this week. i know its mostly yank stuff but seem a lovely red e30 325 sport there an a nice 5 series a few weeks back.
wouldnt mind a bit of advice on what to do with my 325 if anybody is there.

the battery in the boot of my e30 is just wedged in with wood which seems to work ok but how is it suppose to be strapped down?
any ideas or pictures how i can secure it

engine is really healthy. just fitted one of them wild chips off here and makes quite a difference! bit more top end but so much more responsive! best £35 ive spent. got a strange knock coming from the back end when i launch it so going to try and find out what the problem is tommorrow. also need to...

am thinking about heading down to york dragstrip non sunday in the e30 and might have a go at run what ya brung. never done anything like this before just wondered what sort of times e30 325s do? mine is stripped out ,quickshift,exhaust, filter and just fitted one of those wild chips off here. doesn...

cant see myself in a auto. would rather have a coupe to be honest as i like the look of them and can get a nice one for around 3.5k which seems alot of car for the money.

was behind a y reg one earlier in red with the mv18s on it and it looked really smart.

been thinkin about getting a e46 330i coupe as a daily runner. has anybody got one or been in one and are they quick? are they much quicker than a e30 325? ive always liked the look of them and they have come down in price alot lately. wouldnt mind a 330 diesel coupe but they are twice as much to bu...

thanks guys. will just get new pads,lines and fluid in there and see how it does.

love them wheels.

i think i will try a new set of pads,braided hoses and brake fluid and see how its feels after.
is it a big job fitting a clio servo? which one do i need?

the brakes on my 325 seem really crap. it has new discs allround (off when i bought it) and am guessing new pads. they work fine i suppose for normal driving but i intend on doing a trackday and dont think they will last 2 minutes. they just dont seem very sharp if you know what i mean. am after a c...

cheers mate will go have a look now.

iam going to get some paint from halfords to tidy up my sideskirts but not to sure what red to get.
how do i find out what colour it is?
heres a pic if it helps

yeah polished up canny. could do with a lsd and the brakes looking at before goes anywhere near a track though.
was tempted to put a mtec 2 kit on it but dont want to spend to much on bodywork. would rather make it go and stop better.

sold my last e30 in january as it needed to much work but still got a soft spot for them and another one came up local ish for not alot of money so snapped it up. its got 155k but engine runs really sweet,pulls well too. new discs and pads alround (but they still feel a bit crap?) aparently new suse...

the steering on my 325 feels really vague. its running 15bbs wheels off a sport with new tyres,lowered around 50mm. its fine for normal driving but i have no confidence in the front end if i try and push it a bit. can you buy a off the shelf quickrack? ive heard about using the e36 rack but am not s...

its a second car anyway so i dont have to drive it.
cheers for the advice

is it common for it to fail completely or is the car still driveable ?
thinkin about putting a cheaper open diff in.

he says he only had to put a bit oil in as it was almost full.
so looks like its fucked.
was told it was a good one but was also told that the wheels i bought aswell where good depite them needing 3 tyres and one of them was buckled.
lookin like it will end up on pistonheads

he had some 75/90 in his garage. sounds like theres none in though. never heard a diff whine as much as this but probs sounds a bit louder as ive stripped the interior and carpet out.
the welded diff didnt make noise just made the car crap on the road.

ive got the old welded diff so could i use the sensor out of that? it worked fine before lastnight.
as for the diff i will check the oil tommorrow. i asked my mate who fitted it to top the oil up and am now hoping he forgot haha. the noise goes away if am not on the accelerator
