E30 Zone

That brown tourin looks delightful.
Has he a build thread??

I've had a read and I'm very impressed.

Keep it up man!
Can't wait to see it finished in that maclaren yellow.

I'm the same. Need an update dude! Come on

The car is receiving a full m51 swap. Engine gear box and diff all going well.
I have all the parts now. Just getting my head around a few bits.

I've realised I have got the diff upside down in those pictures so they are useless to you all as you can even see the mounting points haha.

Thanks. Is that all I have to do? It just seems too simple haha.

I shall have a better look at it tomorrow night and measure the top holes. ive read somwhere on other forums about them having to be 188mm apart?

Thanks for the reply Sanchez.
I was wondering how to de-code it!

Hello zone. Wondering if any of you can help me out. I've picked up a diff from an 1993/94 e34 2.5 TDS SE for my engine conversion. The diff I believe is an LSD as the tag reads S2 65 9912. http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a582/antroeling/2FB28439-87E5-4C0C-A80A-C63F54A26D97_zps6hh9scjd.jpg I wan...

ive got a pair of e34 trailing arms spare.

can these be used for a 5 stud swap on an E30?

just asking before they go on the scrap.

That's great advice thank you.
Looks like I'll continue my hunt for some e36 TDS arms instead of risking any other 6cylinder arms.

In need of some advice.

Are the engine arms the same across all the 6 clyinder e36 engines the same?

For example are the m52 arms the same as what's used on the m51 Diesel engines that are fit to the e36?

Cheers

Wow!
That's pretty impressive.

My touring kept going through these. I even blew through a set of e46 one in no time.
I've since got some polish ebay polly top mounts and they have been in 8months ish with no problems.

And the rim width. I missed the main one.

People will need to know the wrong the wheels and maybe even the tyre size you are using and what kind of look you are going for. I.e. A bit of poke of you just want the wheels to be a bit more flush.
Some pics would also be useful man

Hey guys! Great news. She passed her MOT with flying colours and no advisories. I'm pretty chuffed. She has also had a brand new set of propper lemforder track control arms. I just want to make a big deal out of the packaging they come in. They each come in a propper lemforder carrier bag thing. Tha...

There will be some soon. Like in the next week or two. Just getting the MOT passed. Fitting new front sus,new lemforder track control arms, a strut brace I picked up cheap off here, a refurbished set of calipers new pads and discs and a Volvo front chin tonight. Then I need to fit some studs on the ...

Oh my god.
This is amazing. You f#####g legend.

Well done.

I really like that! And top work on the seats. If it helps the guy at Gliptone can supply a matching dye you can use on vinyl! Used it on my Corrado to good effect. Thanks caddydaddy. And welcome to the zone. I did contemplate matching door cards but I'm happy with the black ones for now. If I was ...

That looks spot on. Wheels rly suit the colour.

Can t wait for the rot hunt, make sure you get loads of pics

That's brilliant.
Wish I could pick one up that cheap.

Just watched mine roll over the 200 000 mile mark!

Bingerz. You a local zoner mr goldfield?

Haha cheers guys. Mechanics are spot on and the car practically got rebuilt before I even re-trimmed the headliner and re-dyed some sports seats. Not to everyone's tats but it beats a saggy one :) and I like it for now. Easy to do so I'm not fussed :) What sort of mpg does peoples m50/m52 swaps get?...

Hello guys. Ive been getting 27.5MPg out of my 1.8 touring recently mixed driving. Not trashing it and not driving like a nun either. Is this the normal expected fuel consumption for a m40 1.8 in a touring? What do you guys get? How can i make it more economical? How does it compare to other engines...

Hello!

Sorry I can't help too much with the water use age problem but for your brake pad sensor flashing on and off I'd have a look at the wires leading from the passenger side front caliper back in to the engine bay.
I've found they tend to get brittle and break along this section.

Good luck

They left it rusty? Crap it is rust isn't it.

First time I watched it I was too bussy looking at the shiny bits and all the fabrication skills. I just thought is was a brown primer or something. Haha

Is the tec2 kit genuine BMW or is it an ebay kit?

Some details on the rust you have seen would help a lot in deciding if this car is worth stripping or fixing

It does look rather nice tho.

Cheers.

Sorry if it's been on here before but wow. It looks amazing.[/url]

Niether can I.

Might get them on next weekend.
I want to swap my front struts over, fit new track control arms first.

That's interesting then I didn't realise it could knock it outso much when swapping like for like bits.

I'll go get my tracking redone then.

Cheers guys

Oh. I figured that if I was swapping them like for like I wouldn't have too. There are no adjustability on the part I have changed. If I had fit a new adjustable part like a track rod end then I would defiantly see why the tracking would need doing again. Sorry if I'm wrong. I usually am :D I see ho...

I have Polly offset bushes and I kept them as they were and swapped it on to the new wishbone. Its bugging me about because I can't figure it out. I can't of fit it wrong. There's nothing to get wrong. Also I need to buy a new one or pair now and fit them and get the tracking done again haha

Hi hi hi

Just wondering, were the wish bones slightly different between the 4pot models and the 6pot models including tourings.

Just replaced one on my touring with one I had spare off a 4pot saloon and its changed my tracking.

What's going on???

Cheers.

Ouch my eyes. That kit is horrid.
