E30 Zone

After 14 months into my e30 project I was faced with a dilemma, half way into ripping into the underside of my car I had to move the car out of where I was working on it and push it into a corner in storage :( since I couldn't work on it and it was unfit to be moved anywhere (still can't find anywhe...

progress!!!!!

bump!

That's because your passat key will have electronics in the back section - that will need to be programmed. The bmw key is very basic.

exactly! the joys of older cars

the dealers do full kits for each end which includes new grease and circlips etc...from memory i paid about £50.00 or so for each end..(about 4 months ago) Dont be tempted with the aftermarket boots..the ones that i was presertned with, even from some quality parts companys was very poor. hope this...

as long as I can get them somewhere I'm happy! I'll give cotswold a ring next time I place an order thanks

Thanks mate! its coming along a bit better nowadays!
anythings better than that old m40 I had before haha
m50 will do the job for now! s50 would be my top choice

Nice little build up of my struts tonight.. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/600/frb0.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/843/gbqg.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/197/9r3n.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/809/qub1.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.u...

haha I did have a past with vag fags, (still own a passat) but fortunately I woke up before things got to serious! I must admit I'm very impressed with the quality of these bad boys!! But I do require the new thin metal plate/cups which hold everything in, Where can I buy them individually?, or are ...

Got a set of 2.5 driveshafts with my rear disc upgrade and want to refurb them, couple of the boots had split so rather than messing around fitting new ones I've stripped them down to rebuild them fully, and if necessary replace them. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/854/06eo.jpg Everythi...

what a ridiculous car!

I've recently finished mine, got these off a car which had been stood up for 5 years. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/819/um73.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/59/7ql1.jpg new bleed nipples, seal kits +dust boots, rear spring clips and Three coats of High temperature paint...

I'm glad most things for my build are off the shelf parts

This has gotta be my favourite build on here! as well as being an insane engine its got some great thought and hard work in it! can't wait to here this thing growl!

£15 for a cut key is mad!!! volkswagen quoted me £200 before on my passat!

that intake you made for your m20 turbo was a piece of art!!

loving that fabrication mate!

I'm no expert but the m50 seems to be the favourable engine for turbo's, very strong and the ability to swap in the 2.8 crank rods and pistons, in which case you'd virtually have a cast m52, was reading an article about them in performance bmw the other month and they claim you can push 400bhp on st...

Ordering new arms,ends, drop links and wishbones from ATP soon (: what I mean is I got whole e46 jobby half the price I initially expected to pay for a bare rack!! Seems there's money to be made from buying these racks and relisting them with big words like "quickrack" and "club sport"

Just secured mine for £51.99 posted! along with arms and ends

reading this post has me sold on the eibach springs! both those pictures look identical to my desired look!!

any rack with a part number of 6 755 067 is a clubsport??

thats what I mean mate! I bid on that rack! thankfully didn't win it!! I'd been watching several racks all at around £100 that were advertised as "e46 quick rack 3.0 turns clubsport" Then I did a search of the part number and realised they sell from around £50? wanted to double check I'm buying the ...

as far as I know theres seems to be a lot of confusion on these steering racks at the moment among ebayers? They're not directly recognisable by the purple tag as some have different part numbers? But is this part number 6755067 a genuine 3.0 turn clubsport rack? The e30 zone wiki says the 067 is th...

I'd prefer it if the fronts a little lower! will help with the look I'm going for! I was just worried 30mm wouldn't be enough... I think I'll order them and if worse comes to worse I'm sure I can sort something out!

Ever since I bought that twist knot grinding blade every things become a lot shinier!!

Been looking at eibach springs and bilstein b4 shocks.. They claim a 30mm drop all round but with my m50 I think it will be a little more upfront! Anyone run these and could recommend them or if not any other quality springs? Cheers

Almost all done!! :D http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/834/ra8d.jpg The left strut proved to be ridiculously frustrating!! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/811/qzy3.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/268/ix1o.jpg But its now ready for paint! http://imagizer.imagesha...

Pull out the fuel pump relay and link together pins 30 and 87 of its base, which will make the pump run continuously without the engine or ignition on, so allowing you to hear if that's the same noise. P.S. Do you have a M50/52 (24 valve six, cylinder engine) in this 318, or have you simply posted ...

without hearing it, its a job to say.. take out the lower half of the rear bench seat and put your ear against the inspection hatch (drivers side) you'll know if its coming from the pump or not straight away!
