Anyone ?

Hi , got a s/h cup kit to fit my cab but am not sure about the front bump stops , the damper inserts came fitted to struts but one side had the protective sleeve and bump stop the other side had nothing !! i know some dampers have internal stops so you do away with the factory ones . do i leave them...

Thanks guys i will give it a go

Hi can anyone remind me which wire does what on the electric aerial ,the red and white ones , i guess one is the ign live and the other the trigger wire from the head unit ? oh and any one know if its the blue wire on the iso plug of the head unit that is the trigger ?

cheers paul

is it normal and harmless or does something need fixing?

most of them do it and unless its deafing it seems to do no harm ,i belive its the layshaft bearings ? anyway mine did it for 100k of hard use and never got worse or let me down either

God i can relate to your pain there mate , my lovely bright shiney red se that owned for 9 years and spent a fortune on over that time died of terminal rust :cry: :cry: from the outside you would have said what great condition car ,apart from grotty lower arches it looked stunning ,but f##k me can t...

Hi mate ,i know its off topic but did you sort your headlamp wipers ? i did try and call the number you left but no reply !

cheers paul.

Fair enough, it just struck me that to say if you've built a feature worthy car she will know of it' is a bit complacent. No it isn't. It's her job to know. As Booty says, it's a relatively small community. I've certainly not made any contact with PBMW or made any effort to get my car in the magazi...

I used 635csi mounts to help with steering coupling /exhaust issues with an e36 rack conversion. just grind off the locating tab and they fit straight on

cheers paul.

No, needs bleeding from the slave end.... B*ll*cks. :roll: My slave is very tight against the transmission tunnel with the E36 box fitted. I'm pretty sure I have to remove it to be able to bleed it. hi mate ! its sometimes worth unbolting the slave and letting it hang down to " gravity bleed it " b...

I recently had a leak in the passenger footwell and found that one of the rubber pipes that are attached to the matrix pipes coming from the bulk head were not tight enough. I tightened the jubilee clip and the leak has stopped but i still aint got no heat coming from the vents! :cry: HTH. i have j...

i have only just put the dash in !!!

Hi ,anyone replaced a heater matrix insitu before ? just replaced the valve that was leaking , now i think the matrix is leaking too

cheers paul.

In Worthing there's a nice white one, on it's ars3 with a fat splitter and a black cab on 17's (?) oh, and mine of course... 8) not seen a silver one, I was just up there too getting an hair cut... i think it might belong to a zoner who had a really nice white IS but i cant remember his name :o: !!

Really great looking sport on alpinas at the lights by worthing post office today ,
zone member maybe ?

When you say *just* saw, I hope you meant at about 2:15? Otherwise someone has nicked my car :D he he ! i just got home but that would be about right :D you would not have noticed as i was driving my e36 :o: just bought a cab project after the demise of my beloved red 4 door :cry: what suspension s...

Just saw a really nice pale blue cab with hartge rims in shoreham west sussex just wondered if it was a zone member ?

What are you using to lube them ? i have struggled fitting regular and m3 ones with oil ,grease brake fluid etc then used rubberlube and they just fell on

Thanksfully someone had the good sense to paint over the chrome wrongness, same as my cab. Tech 1 looks great, that's what I'd like. I just don't like it without side skirts. i agree :cool: the tech 1 kit looks just right on the cab ,not so keen on the alpina one but hartge would would be different...

Probably all 'no's - cabs were facelifted at a different time to the saloons, & some came with painted metal bumpers (as in pre-facelift rather than plastic post-facelift ones) - this one sounds very much like one of those... You'd have to fit a post-facelift front valance to fit the iS lip (there ...

Hi , just looking at a 90 on the h cab as a project ,hence the rear window questions :D i also wondered about the frt panel , it seems to be a facelift car with painted bumpers etc but the fogs do not look like face lift saloon ones ,more like the early saloon ones ,it also has a black screw on lip ...

cheers paul . oh and thanks for the strut tip too

Hi , has anyone replaced the plastic rear window or the gas struts on the horseshoe cover on an e30 cab ? any idea what they are like to do ?

cheers paul.

could have kept it and spent a lot to keep it in crisp condition but decided to advance to a cab, life goes on...
good luck on whatever makes you happy.

I've had much the same trouble with my 2.7, rust had just taken too strong a hold on the shell. I was sorry to do it but broke her up and scrapped the shell, I've kept the good bits like the engine and suspension etc and sold the rest. I've almost made back the money I needed to buy a mint 325i Tou...

The last time I saw that car is was beautiful.

You've got all the right bits, maybe a reshell would be a good idea?
