What about Jurid brake pads? heard of them? if so are they any good?

LOL, when you put it like that!

Anyone ever heard of them? theyre Ãƒ”šÃ‚£12.99 on e-bay, but i dont want em if theyre just gonna fade away the first sign of loonacy! (alternatively anyone know any clever places to get good priced, good pads!?)

Lol, i dont think even that noise would make me want to touch my bits with a tape measure, rusty or otherwise! Im gonna send it back and have the box adapted, he seems pretty happy about it, so hopefully everyone will end up relatively pleased.....! it does look nice!

well no more than any baffle in a normal exhaust, the fact is that it has no baffles at the mo, and i asked for it to be made WITH baffles, so its far too loud! you ought to have some degree of backpressure in an exhaust, and at the moment its effectively straight through, and not helping performanc...

Right, had contact from the chap at MOD MART, he's actually been very very helpful, and has offered to either rebuild the backbox, enlarging it to accomodate more sound deadening, or supply me with an inline baffle to add to the back of the box to muffle the sound more. Now he says that this wont af...

ok mate, cheers, Just to let you know, the guy from MODMART has stopped answering his e-mails, and would appear not to be sorting me out with a refund, wouldnt really recommend them to anyone after this! I'll keep you posted on the outcome.

was that including the mid section, or will just putting a decent backbox on help?

yeah i bought the fitting kit which is absolute joke, its a piece of flexi pipe... lot of money for that! i have contacted the seller who got very shirty and says hes sold hundreds to BMW owners and never had a single problem, and that i am obviously doing something wrong.... well i int daft and hav...

Anyone fitted an Alloy exhaust from modmart before? theyre always advertised on E-bay, usually twin exit or weird quad exits... Anyway i made (what would appear to be) the mistake of buying one such exhaust for my 320i (i got a DTM version) that supposedly was tailor made for the e30.. well i fitted...

As suggested, turned out to be a section of knackered wire, thanks for your help once again guys!

haha ive got a mate whos just put a Celica GT4 turbo engine in a mk1 MR2 with NOS, thats scary too!!

FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally sorted it, turns out to be the TPS which wasnt working (thanks TouringMatt, Kam-325, etc), i put the multimeter on it and wasnt getting any resistance on the closed throttle position (thanks for the tip Brian), ive swapped the tps for my old one (whi...

cheers Brian, much appreciated

does anyone know if you can test the TPS while its off the car to see if its workin properly?? i have a multimeter, and have taken the tps of the throttle body... Telski, is this the test you were talking about?

ok, i'll change it today and see if it does anything! i took the ICV off and cleaned it out, it wasnt too dirty, and the insides moved about freely enough, so i reckon it has to be something specifically wrong with the throttle body itself, (having put the old one back on and found the car to run pe...

not that i can find locally, i dont really know sunderland very well, should just have looked in the yellow pages i guess!

Cheers Kam-325, i'll keep that in mind next time the rozzers are following me around sunderland! (its scary when youve no idea what speed your doin!) Sorry to hear about your Mayo issues... i used to have head gasket problems every week with my old 5turbo, not fun. I just scrapped my old diff that h...

Is this a likely cause of the problems im having then Brian do you think? are they straight forward to swap over, and do i need to look out for any bits pinging out when i strip them down!? (oh yeah, what does AFAIK mean!?)
Kiesh

did your tps still click on and off tho? mine is doing. ive swapped the tb back to the 320i one until i get a new gasket on tuesday. Telski can i still phone you to run through that tps setup? if mines knackered can i swap it for the one off my 320 unit as i know that to be ok

thanks then mate, glad i didnt buy them then! wheres a good sit to order bmw parts from? i cant find find a gennuine bmw parts department!?

Ok guys thanks for the help, sorry i havent replied, ive had other problems with the car now!! (did a throtle body conversion and its idling at 3k rpm!!) the things we do for speed eh! just been guessing what speed im doing! ( i reckon 1500rpm in 5th gear is about 30...who knows!) ive checked the pl...

i noticed something else today that might cast some light on the issue... Those of you that have the fuel economy dial will probably have noticed that while the car is moving if you let your foot comlpetely off the throttle the gauge flicks right up to 50+mpg (obviously enough) but there is a point,...

righty ho, the butterfly should be set to a 0.75mm gap, (checked with feeler gauges) which mine is, like the idea of spraying carb cleaner to test for leaks, will try that tmoro after church! the throttle position sensor clicks in perfic just as you open th throttle the tiniest bit, so i figure that...

yeah ive got one, whens a good time to phone mate?

nope, how do i do that mate?

just took it for a drive, and as the engines warmed up it seems to have improved, but still idling at 1800-2000rpm, and is very slow to drop once youve blipped the throttle...its wierd, ive tried the obvious thing of bashing everything in the engine bay with a hammer, but it still didnt fix it! that...

I have JUST changed the throttle body and elbow by the way, not the AFM or anything else at all to do with the throttle body, so should i have put a 325 afm on it too? (i also serviced it today with new oil, filter, dizzy cap and rotor arm....cant really see any of that making a difference)

Im in sunderland mate, the butterfly in the throttle body operates properly, closes fully etc, i checked it worked before fitting it, and the cable allows the throttle to close fully too, goes nice and loose when sat in the closed position... the throttle body was off the zone, and i noticed its bee...

Thanks for the reply mate, i didnt fit a new gasket, but my ones ok, ive had a look/listen for air, but it seems fine in that respect. it revs really crisply, and idles smoothly, its just like its set far too high

Hi people, ive just swapped the throttle body on my 320i (e30 1989) for a newer and bigger 325i version. having finished the conversion the car now idles at 3000rpm!!! very cleanly mind, but obviously far too high, anybody had similar problems? i need the car for work tmoro morning, and dont fancy s...

yeah i thought that, the plug is nicely located, and isnt loose at all. do these suffer from dodgey speed sensors in the diff, or any other known issue that would affect it? dont want to start rep[lacing random things to try and solve the problem that way, starts getting expensive then!

Hi there, i was on my way back from wales the other day, and my speedo starting flickering between 0 and my actual speed, then stopped working all together... is there a common fault with these (1989 e30 320i)? i checked the fuses, and theyre all ok, so i dont really know what to do now! all the oth...

ok mate, and do they ever suffer from fade?

Thanks for the response guys, been very helpful, i found a guy selling both cap and rotor arm for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£20 the pair so i snapped em up! if anyones interested PM me and i'll send you his details to get one if he still has em. Still want to know whats so special about them that they can charge Ãƒ”šÃ‚...
