E30 Zone

Cheers, I think you're right- an Evo Merc would have made for a closer test and been a more visually exciting model to feature. Unfortunately I was just working with what was available to me at the time and I borrowed the Merc from the Classic Car Club which meant I got to drive it for a week and ge...

I've put my name on the list and sort out the SAE. Cheers.

That looks great- I'll be sure to mention it and if there's a spare place for my M3 I'd be happy to come along

Oh, and Simon- It's all in the interests of making your steering wheel the most famous around

Yeah, I was just looking for a bit of feedback really. Hoping to do some more E30 stuff in the future as well- perhaps something on the zone, a meet or a track day or something if there's anything coming up in the future I can have a crack at pitching.

Evening all- long time no posting, good to see the forum back up and running.

Anyone seen the article this month?

Tonight people... http://fifthgear.five.tv/jsp/5gmain.jsp ... tureid=190

Glenn, thanks for your reponse- my PM's kept coming up as failed so I don't know if you will get them. 'I just said Thanks for coming back to me. By Hi-res I just meant if you could maybe e-mail me a couple of the original pics rather than the smaller ones on the topic? Just that when printed they h...

Hi guys- I am currently researching an article on V8 conversions and was looking to you guys for a little help if at all possible. :D The basic premise of the piece is to look at V8 conversions outside the 'normal' Rover/Ford lumps. i.e. Lexus, BMW, Jag, Audi and Mercedes. So if anyone knows anyone ...

Right, well my car was Ãƒ”šÃ‚£5k and I have spent about a further Ãƒ”šÃ‚£10k on (mostly preventative) maintenance, servicing and repairs. That's over about 30k and about two and a half years though. If I sold mine (i.e. gun to the head time!) then I'd probably only get Ãƒ”šÃ‚£9k for it even if the i...

I got mine from Dumeister- the VW tuning place. They were expensive still but cheaper than Ãƒ”šÃ‚£30 each... it was about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£70 including plates.

Not too sure- afraid I'll have to check over the weekend once I'm back home.

I have his original feature on the M-Power evolutions on my PC at home- but I guess it's just finding somewhere to host it.

Oops, double post. Bloody AOL!

Actually one of the researchers posted on here a few months ago and I just mailed him some pics of my car- guess it helped that they were the professional shots they took for the BMWCar article. Afraid no Zone sticker- I meant to but didn't get round to sorting one out as I had a load of work to do ...

Unfortunately he didn't know replacement tyres were part of the deal when he did his timed lap the first day so said he was taking it 'slow' (all relative!) but the second day they did the corner shots and I think it gave it a little more gusto! The laps I did with him in the XJR were just awesome t...

Yup, need at least two new tyres but he says he was going easy! The TV company cover the tyres though

How do I know?! Because it's mine! Over the last couple of days I have been filming an episode of the upcoming series of Fifth Gear in which Tiff tracks my M3. Afraid I didn't get any great pics due to the filming taking place but it was a cool couple of days and I got the opportunity to take in a f...

The PPC trip is next weekend- I was planning to attend but lucky I'm not what with my MOT woes! Look out for Will in his V8 Capri!

Are you going on the PPC mag trip?

Hi, my M3 failed it's MOT yesterday and I need a little help. Basically there is a bit of rust on the rear quarter passenger side at the bottom of the wing near the seal and it seems this has moved (at least started moving) towards the sill and is too close to the suspension. I really need the car f...

On the upside I saw this on the way back-

Hmmm, someone had to ask... I haven't got the sheet in front of me but it was 179 at the fly I recall. :oops: Actually, I recall being upset mostly! :cry: They only took it up to 5000rpm though because it was leaning out badly above that so I need to get that sorted. Thinking a remap but cash is a b...

I'll sort out a few pics in a minute.

Be down there about 9am, just pop down and ask for me if you can make it mate.

Good cheers (hopefully the power run will support this!), just had it serviced so should be running sweet. Actually, I currently got it serviced for nowt as my mechanic's missus had a baby so he dashed off and said he'd give me a call re: the bill. Haven't heard anything yet... 8) Although he knows ...

No worries guys... shame there's no E30 takers but I appreciate it's very late notice.

Here's a little more info to entice you in case you were too shy to ask :wink: It's at T&M in Colchester (http://www.t-m.co.uk/) on Saturday 30th July. It's going to start around about 9am and go on until lunch time or so, depending on how many people turn up. Cost is Ãƒ”šÃ‚£20 and they only give a ...

I'm attending an RR event in Colchester tomorrow- starting at 9am and there's a few places left. Anyone who can make it to Colchester that early up for a power run? I believe it's literally just a power run from the info I've been provided with but it's only Ãƒ”šÃ‚£20 and I'm covering it for Practic...

Hi, I haven't scanned it yet but obviously I have one or two copies (7!) of the magazine so I can scan it I guess

I'm with you on that mate- would love to do what they do, in fact, I studied with the intention of becoming a journalist but ended up doing accounts as a career instead!

Yup. Nice bunch of guys, I meet them earlier in the year when I took my car there for the photoshoot for Toby's E30 M3 article.

Peterborough, East of England Showground.

btw- I saw your letter in PPC with the pic in your sig, nice one
