E30 Zone

bound to of bent the wishbone i would of thought, ive clipped kerbs at much lower speeds in e30s and e36s and ended up with bent wishbones.

yeah think it was just running onto the manifold a bit, no worries there.

no hes talking about buying proper lowering springs, I told him hes going soft. first thing he plans on doing is sorting the engine issues i belive, it was chuffing plumes of smoke out the side of the bonnet on friday lol.

maybe the front ARB mount is cracked. i had this on my 320. Lee (ladylumps) is overjoyed with the e46 btw, i enjoyed driving it back. my e30 felt like a frickin antique to drive when i got back in it

i just think with the fact that there is no other chrome on the car the chrome grills look odd, fair enough on a e30 that doesnt have shadowline trim

the photos actually make the lights look very dark, in reality they are a very light smoke, light enough that you can clearly see all the beam aim lines and writing on the glass. they just dont photograph very well.

few council mods for you all as i know you love them, smoked headlights and a little german flag inspired vinyl addition

bought tec2 doorpods and skirts, as new condition and arrived within2 days! awesome

driving it would of given it as good a charge as a standard battery charger would

also if you have just bought this check the tire pressures. ive had 8 e30s but when i bought my most recent one the drive home was terrifying, steering felt dangerously light. next day i checked the tire pressures...........50psi in one front and 46 in the other!!! FAR too high. reduced to the corre...

ive had this twice in recent times just due to the belt being a bit too slack!

loving the wheels, what are they? size etc?

i got fined for having german font pressed plates on my last e30. the coppers first words to me after he pulled me up were 'do you speak much german'. My reply was 'ja ich weiÃŸ' he then said 'dont get funny with me, get in the back of the police car' after me losing my temper and arguing the toss i...

can share ya pain there..........My Husky Kira is rather strong willed and stubborn!

Ok, as title really what brakes are you guys all running? No point having 24V power if you can't stop it right? :D why? an m50 is only 20bhp up on a m20 2.5 and an m52 2.5 is the same power as standard e30 325i. people talk about these m50/52 conversions as if its creating some kinda rocket ship. a...

ah sorry forgot you were running the m20 box and flywheel etc.

we fitted a m52 sump with the engine in the car. we did have to lift the engine right up off its mounts though with the crane.

could you not just drain it down of oil and use some more jb weld or the like. im surprised you didnt notice the damage when you went to fit it. sad times

my point is the distance from sump guard to road will vary from car to car due to springs/wheels but the distance from sump to sump guard is near on the same for all m20's hence i need to know how far it sits from the sump not how far it sits from the road

anyoen who has an RPM E30 sumpguard fitted on a m20 e30............how much gap is there between the sump and the sump guard? my sump is currently 2.5" off the floor. im wanting to know how much clearance i will have between road/sumpguard with one fitted

i had my touring fault code read when it was playing up and it came up with MAF sensor................ changed this and it made no odds, changed the crank sensor and all was fine again. this was on the main dealer diagnostic and launch. me thinks the diagnostic on these things is not as comprehensiv...

moi

Now that im keepi9ng this rather than selling up.......... today i bought some new wheels off a mate, onlys 15" with some dish. basically it was a case of buy new tyres for my BBS or buy these which had just been refurbed with new tyres,. I had a few issues with fitting in that the track rod end tou...

i had a similar issue with my m52 powered e36 touring, was indeed the crank sensor.

valve clearances, get them checked/adjusted

looks cool. where did you get the banded steels made and what are the steels originally from?

loving this car, funny thing is my mate in Plymouth almost bought this car about a year ago (well actually he was going to do a swap on it with his e34) but he decided aganist it as he didnt like the wind noise (nes never owned any cabrio before)....................hes kicking himself now hes seen t...

i should imagine it also costs about 5 times as much too

lol!!! i did this years ago when i converted a my nova from 1.3 to 2ltr XE lump. had me miffed for 2 days before i realised the mistake!!

i would guess that the live you have taken for the violet/white connection that needs to be live when at acc, igntiion and when cranking is not actually live when cranking, alot of lives drop out under cranking. just connect the violet/white wire to a permenent 12v live to see if it fires http://img...

yep for deffo. newman or schrick both do some decent duration/lift cams for similar prices. the most expensive part of the whole build is the cam really

few pics seeing as i gave it a wash and a little video. open diffs suck. Ive since fitted some rear beam bush void fillers. these things have transformed the handling. no more squirming and shimmy or wheel hop. excellent mod for £20ish quid http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u165/pauldeacs_2007/DSCF...

doesnt work?

i bought one of these a couple weeks ago, looks fantastic, arrived within two days and fits spot on. perfect imo. £110 delivered to the door

not that reare but saying that ive sold two on ebay in recent times...........both sold within 5 mins of being listed for over £30 plus post so there must be a demand for them
