E30 Zone

Oh, and no i cant be stretching my budget to Alpha N etc..... Check out my website, www.alexallingham.co.uk Rallying is Mighty expensive !! So cant really afford to spend Absolute fortunes on Extras (like aftermarket exhausts) for my Road car. But YES it is definately Noise i'm after. Just to make t...

It definately noise i'm after. BUT boys and Girls, Supersprint no longer make the Center Section without a Center box, They only make the one with the Center Box. !!!!! I know this because thats the one i wanted, but cant get one. E-mailed Supersprint themselfs, but they no longer produce them (Disc...

Hello Guys, I'm thinking of changing from my Standard E30 M3 center section, to a Supersprint Center Section (single box) Has anyone got one of these ? Did it make much difference as regards sound ? <--- main query. and Performance ?? Let me know, as dammed if im spending Ã‚£200 on one for it to not...

I was thinking, to save buying an expensive Ãƒ”šÃ‚£200 Supersprint Center Section/De-cat, Do you think it would be possible to cut my existing E30 M3 standard center section before and after my cat, say for instance 3 inch's from each side of the cat, and then slide a piece of straight pipe(ever so ...

Correct ! A Friend of mine has an E36 325 6 pot and it has only a scorpion back box. It sounds ******* Awesome.

Yeah, stop bringing the Mrs with you when you go out for a blast.

On a more serious note, Sounds like wheel bearings. Is it equal noise both left and right, ? or noisier on a left for example. ?

The Ride Quality is fine, not as harsh and bumpy as you'd expect (like other cars ive driven) with big wheels with low profiles. It is mainly for Road use, i doubt i'll get chance to bring it to a track day especially with my rallying :- www.alexallingham.co.uk I'm tempted just to lower the rear. Wh...

They are 8.5"x 17" and have 225/35 Falkens on them.

Does look high at they back. Hence I could always just fit the rear springs ?

Look at my car, and tell me, will 30mm Springs look good ? I was thinking of 30mm lowering springs by Apex (Ãƒ”šÃ‚£96 delivered) Or should i choose others ? I must admit, the car seems to sit low on the front, so i may just fit rear springs, although i thing the front springs are "tired" to say the ...

Good Idea Maxfield !!

1.Rallyman M3 (195bhp) Standard car but with Scorpion DTM Rear box and Hamann 17" Deep Dish Alloys, and Smiley headlamps.

Come on, lets make a list of the E30 M3 Owners.

Also has anyone got a Supersprint center section ( with or without center silencer) ?? I see they make a Center Section without the silencer (E.g Straight through)

I'll Start the owners list.

1.Rallyman1984

I'll check today Nadz.

The car was intermittent. Now just wont start at all.

Is there anyone i can get to read/check my ecu ???? auto electricial type person ?

Well, they arent "any old coil" they are all similar coils, similar resistance etc... but still none of them seem to be giving out anything.

Voltmeter, Terminal on + side of coil reads 12V, and terminal on - Side of coil also reads 12V (with ignition on)
E.g Putting red (+) wire off Voltmeter on the coil wire (which ever side) and the Black wire off the Voltmeter (-) onto a good earth (e.g Strut bolt)

Sorry Gareth.

Yes, I meant 12V on both Terminals.

Seem to be getting no output on HT Lead tho ?? Like I say, tried 3 different coils, all the same, surely all three cant be knackered. Going to borrow a "known Good" one tomorrow off my friends Golf.

Right, Changed the Crank Sensor, and the two pulse sensors. But now car wont start at all (as of tonight) No Spark at all. The Coil is seeing 12V in and 12V out, however there seems to be no spark/power coming out of the HT Lead, neither when ignition on, nor when cranked over. The cap and rotor arm...

Result will be tomorrow. ! keep your fingers crossed.

Brian, My CPS is to be in at my local stealer tomorrow thankfully, I seem to remember you saying that they are often temperature sensitive when they fail, now..... When i had the escapade with my car at the local so called mechanic, it wouldnt stall ( Car was hot) But... tonight, it's been sat outsi...

Is there anyway of testing the CPS before i go and get a new one ? Thr black one is approx Ãƒ”šÃ‚£20 from Main Stealer, i dont think EURO car parts do one, and the two other sensors (Pulse generators?) are about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£56 each from Main Stealer. The small black one (1 287 784) I am assuming is the m...

Also, there are three Sensors, all pointing at the flywheel , at the rear of the engine, i take it all three control the timing etc.... E.g Like having three crank position sensors ? There are two at the bottom, both silver and shiny, part no's are both the same on them two :- 1 708 610 and then the...

Dale, How could i find this ??

Be Detailed, as i'm fairly mechanicly minded, but aint no electrictian.

Or do you mean i need to replace the ECU ?

Manchester

Air Flow Meter Possibly ? As when i accidently forgot to plug mine in, it wouldnt rev. (on E30 M3 tho)

Oh Oh Oh, Also, changed the DME relay today as when i took it off and shook it, it seemed like it rattled a little, changed it for another, still made no difference !

UPDATE !!!!! Checked the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge today, and she sits at 3bar constant, even when it stalls. ! So it's not the pump nor the Relay at Fault.(as i have by-passed it before, and makes no difference) I have also changed/checked the coil, it seems it's not this either. HOW...

Well, the prob is, you'll be driving along, and it'll just cut-out/stall. But usually it'll start ok, other times it wont re-start at all. Tryed by-passing the Fuel Relay when it wont start, and it makes no difference. Had a wire on the coil, onto a light into the car, and light doesnt fail to go ou...

Poo

I'm still having problems with my E30 M3. Still stalling etc... and not starting etc... Went upto our local garage who everyone(all other garages) in the local vacinity reckon has all the Diagnostic gear, but he cant get any of his 3/4/ machines to read my E30 M3. Is there anyone who has the reletav...

right, update. Light onto coil, coil is fine. so thats illimated. Started up tonight, fine, then stalled. Cleaned the pins on the Fuel pump relay (orange one) found it !! and it restarted ran for a while then stalled. Now wont restart at all. Just going to by-pass the relay, as brian suggested, and ...

go one, tell me where it is !! ??

On an E30 M3.

It is this powers the fuel pump relay too isnt it ?

Where is the Relay on a normal E30. Cant differ too much from an M3.

Right boys. and girls. Wired up a light to the + of the coil, and it stays on perfectly, then when it dies, it still stays on nice and bright, so that leads me to think it is fuel related. Once it dies, it does start again, but it dies (as if its ran out of fuel) then it'll start and die a few times...

Right Brian, Theres a light rigged up, i'll try it today. i just hope i dont proper "break down"

i can. but maybe it cuts out so intermittently that i dont hear it stop/start its even got me doubting myself. !

reckon there is any possibiltiy it could be the fuel pump relay (where ever it is) ??
