E30 Zone

Hi Gents, It's been an age since I was on here ! New website looks great .. Well done .. So as per the listing I am after an e30 engine specialist or engine builder in the Northampton area. Need someone who really knows what they are doing .. Any suggestions and or contact details appreciated. Thank...

Thanks for the clarification Brian ..

Hi Brian,

Does the same go for the tech 2 Sport ? I was under the impression that the B6's were closer to the M-tech 51mm OEM fitment ..

Thanks,

Ric

Well Just found this on the bay , considering the previous set of 16's are no longer for sale but the £ 800 Alpina steering wheel is still listed I'm guessing the wheels sold for 2k or close to that ? Does that mean that this staggered set in ”aexcellent, used but glorious”a condition in need of a r...

Hi,

Need to get some work done on the E30 , mostly light restoration and some paint.

Anyone know of someone reliable local to Northampton / Rushden ?

Thanks,

Ric

Yep. we got pensioners coming this.time. :mad: Looks like I'm camping, and to widen the age range, bringing my 7 and 9 year olds. Although, as I only live 15 mins from Santa Pod, we may head home if it pi$$es down.... Looking at the ticket small print, I'm showing up late afternoon on Saturday, so ...

Whos camping at pod? I'm still in 2 minds on whether to camp or not. I have weekend tickets but no one to look after the dogs :cry: Plus the usual suspects who come to my meets aren't camping by the look of it... Dude !

Really pi**ed to hear this mate ! I would be devastated if it was my Baby that burnt up in the garage ... I will tell you something though .. they broke into my house about 3 years ago , we were upstairs sleeping and they pulled the house key's off the radiator cover through the post flap with a coa...

I know you've checked it but try jiggling the c191 plug around while the car is running. My car used to suffer from very similar issues, I tried so many things to try and resolve it I think I lost track after a while of what I replaced/cleaned up. It could also well be worth checking the fuel pump ...

Do you know when the rotor arm and dizzy cap were last changed? Are the ones currently on the engine from the oem manufacturer? Good luck Removed the Dizzy cap and rotor arm this morning ,they are not new but didnt look 20 years old either so possibly been replaced at some stage.There were some dep...

Ok , so the Hog roast is a no go. We can have a look at doing it another time when we have more interest ...

Was the fuel pump changed for a working second hand one, or is a receipt present for a brand new off the shelf one?? Carb cleaner into the Idle control valve as said above, also carb cleaner into the throttle body itself (do it whilst it is off when inpecting the TPS), clean the inside out with a r...

Thanks again , I'll add it to the list too ..

I saw a thread on here regarding the injectors being cleaned for £ 66.00 inc return postage so I might look at doing them if the easier fixes don't work ..

Thanks for the info , I will add that to my check list ..

Does anyone know if a duff fuel pressure regulator could cause the spluttering ?

I'm not sure so don't mind pulling it off and making sure it's in good shape so I can eliminate the possibility of them being knackered , I'll check in the morning ..

Thanks ..

Ok, I have checked the C191 plug. Opened the plug which was a bit dirty and a couple of contacts were showing signs of corrosion so cleaned these and the plug thread and replaced. on start up she idled a bit high for a few minutes then settled down to normal. I took her for a drive and she revved ok...

Guages and panel lights are normal , the RPM stay's constant when it drops as it does when you hit the rev limiter , if you keep your foot down then it just stay's at 3500 rpm for example and sort of stays there but will not go up or give anymore power until you tap off and accelerate again .. The f...

Will take a look in the morning ... never thought of that ..

Thanks ..

Thanks , I'll see if I can find it in the Wiki
