E30 Zone

Dave Kier - MTech is in the Billericay, Essex area and has done great work on my cars

Sorry maybe I didn't make myself clear. A fully working cluster was put into my car and the same issues occurred.

So turns out it was fuse 10. Changed that and everything including the blower have started working. I've heard that the reversing lights might be causing the fuse to blow.

As per the title, a friend brought round a cluster out of a car where all gauges works and exactly the same issue occurred when we swopped them over. I've seen troubleshooting tips for each of the issues in isolation however as both have broken I thought an obvious solution may jump out to you guys ...

As the title please.

Beige leather comfort seats front and rear wanted. As close to immaculate as possible.

Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to write this up, the attention to detail is truly amazing!

As per the title please

My auto has just been converted to manual, all I need now is the gear gater and plastic surround that clips in.

If anyone has one they want to part with please let me know.

Are you going to get the bumpers and mirrors colour coded?
What does history tell you my friend?
Its due an engine at some point?

History does have a nasty habit of repeating itself

Looking good, I really like that colour!

Me too, i think it really works, added 80's flavour.

My wife bloody hates the colour which makes me like it even more!

First drive out.

Amazing, that looks lovely. There's hope for my more door yet! As mentioned previously, interested to hear spec of engine and which ITB's you went for.

Morning, I looked on the e30 wiki and it says a 1988 e30 320i is 4.10 ratio. I assume this is for a manual. What is the diff ratio of the Automatic? I hear they're different. We are pretty much finished with the manual conversion and are in the process of building an m20 2.7 which i read a 3.73 is t...

Needs 15mm raise on the back for me

Agreed, being sorted

I think he's mainly looking for drawings for measurements of the conversion, where the alterations happened, cuts made, etc. Not sure if i'm explaining very well.

A friend of mine is embarking on a Baur restoration. Has anyone got access or links to diagrams of the Baur conversion panels.

Thanks
Ian

I paid £600 for a mint set

Low but not too low:

Apologies for my utter ignorance, i do not profess to be an e30 aficionado, is this a C2 2.7 Touring or something entirely different?

Gaz shocks and Eibach lowering springs are now fitted and work has begun on a 2.7 stroker engine. MTEC1 rear spoiler and iS front lip have been purchased and getting ready for paint Nice work mate :thumb: That 2.0i gets boring quick doesn't it :snigger: I'd defo be going down the 2.7 route as a per...

No-one probably noticed because the B20 crank is useful for nothing other than a large paperweight. People use the rods and bin the crank.

Tbf no-one is probably as sad as me!!!!

I've worked it out, i think the Wiki is wrong it states:

320i - 71mm stroke
323i - 76mm stroke
325e - 81mm stroke
325i - 75mm stroke

When the m20b20 is 66mm stroke which then gives 1991 cc which is correct

I've been a car enthusiast for years but realise i know very little about the mechanics. I've gone off and done a bit of research on engines and ended up reading about how you work out engine displacement which was very interesting and i understand is: (pi /4 x bore squared x stroke x number of cyli...

I was going to put a m54b30 in my e30 however i'm thinking now of staying period and sticking a m20b25 in it with ITB's as they sound great. My car has 85k on the clock but as it's a 320i more door i'm assuming a non original engine isn't going to effect the value? Is this a good idea, and is there ...

The centre caps are worth that

Mart.

TBH i have no idea what the wheels are worth. I was told next to nothing

Car needs a bit of a clean, but you get the idea

One tyre has a puncture, all seem fair tread but assume the tyres are just freebies.

Wheels look okay condition, i didn't really drive the car with them on so can't vouch 100% for them.

Feel free to have a look and walk away if not happy.

Collection only from Essex - £80

Hi, ECU as per picture (m20b20). The link to the fitting instructions on first page doesn't work, can you send me some instructions please. I want to make sure it's within my ability.

15" BBS on, didn't fit centre caps because need to install the Gaz shocks and eibach springs.

More progress on manual conversion.

I'm happy to give a few quid if it helps. I love working from home, reading the forum when i'm supposed to be working. I'd miss it if it was gone.

I have a bit of tech knowledge if help is needed too.

I had a great day today working (well he did most of the work) on the manual conversion with Dave Kear, who has forgotten more about e30's than I will ever know.

Lightened flywheel, clutch and gearbox fitted.

51mm struts also sourced for the Gaz dampers.

Thanks, i have messaged

How much are you looking for to part with it mate?
