Hey

Im looking for a 30mm thin walled deep socket for getting the transmission output shaft collar nut off.
Does anyone have one/know where I can get hold of one that will fit ?

Cheers

Hey
Does anyone know where to get inner clutch discs for a small case LSD from in the UK ?

Cheers

Hi

Does anybody out there know of a center cap that will just lock into the bore of the 15" BBS Wheels when not using the standard center caps ?

Cheers

Thanks I think it may no longer be a problem because as I noticed that the Hel brake lines I have seem to use a universal flare on them and are the same thread. I checked the mating between the brake line and calliper by putting black marker around the concave part of the flare and winding it into t...

Thanks Carl I'll check it out.

Yeh ive done alot of that and haven't come up with anything in the UK. I think making up a brake pipe will be the only option.

Thanks

Can anyone help me please ? I've been searching about but can't seem to find anywhere I can hold of the brake line adapter needed to fit RX7 calipers to the standard E30 brake line. the adapter needed is : M10 male inverted flare to M10 female bubble flare Does anybody know where I can get hold of t...

Does anybody know which adapter is needed to convert the E30 brake line to RX7 calliper ?

Cheers

Mines got 115k - still breaking it in ;)

Hi all, please HELP ! I had to remove my head after the chain tensioner boss cracked and required welding back on (previous owner didn't use a crush washer and over tightened the chain tensioner to stop oil leak !). The engine was running fine before removing the head and under inspection everything...

Trip postponed until next year due to a few issues (Chain tensioner boss blew of the head!! & found some more rust). Don't want to rush getting it on the road...

Ok yeh im going to need to get the metal bumper, pre-facelift valance and bumper mounts. I was unsure if the the rear apron would ever sit right as I read somewhere that the facelift models have lower wheel arches.

Thanks

Hi
I've always really liked the Mtech 1 kits and I now have one in my possession. I have searched around forums but have found very little info on what is required to make the Mtech 1 kit fit a facelift E30. I would really like to hear from someone who has done this before...

Cheers

Would it be difficult to make it fit ?

Cheers

I am wondering if it is possible to directly fit an MTech 1 body kit to a facelift 1991 318is ?
If not what is required ?

Thanks

I have a very small amount of welding to do on the E30 but unfortunately I don't have the equipment or skill to do it myself. Can anybody recommend a decent place to get some welding done in Hampshire ? I took it to a classic car restoration garage the other day but the quote they gave me was crazy ...

Hi Unfortunately due to a cracked chain tensioner boss I need to replace my cylinder head... :( Im pretty sure I have most of the procedure down, my only uncertainty is the removal of the cams. I have found a write up on pelican parts but this details the removal of cams on a 6 cylinder. Is this pro...

The car is getting there, just fitted e46 clubsport steering rack, new control arms and M3 offset bushes. I've refurbed my struts and fitted the bilstein prokit, also testing custom brackets and disks for RX7 caliper conversion... Next thing I need to do is get it on some wheels and down to the body...

I had trouble with the banjo bolt going to the power steering pump. This was because of the E28 M5 engine mounts though. I had to bend the pipe slightly. Not by much, just about managed to do it by hand so wasn't an issue.

Cheers

So I've got the rack in, used the e28 m5 mounts and put it in the front mounting holes. There's plenty of clearance with the manifold so no need to shorten the steering link. http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/jamesetbentley/IMG_0111_zpswlq16gmi.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/jam...

Yes I just found this last night. I think The previous owner didn't put a crush washer in and over tightened the chain tensioner in an attempt to stop the leak... There's a crack where you mentioned ! I'm going to try and use some Belzona molecular metal on it, see how that works.

I have oil leaking out of the chain tensioner on my M42. I have replaced the crush washer but there is still a bit of oil dripping out. Is this normal ?

Cheers

Right so Ive got custom pipes and e28 m5 mounts on the way so ill see how I get on. If not ill do the guibo delete and if that doesn't work ill try the corsa link.
Is anybody here using e28 m5 mounts , what notable difference do they make ?

Cheers

Moving the rack affects scrub radius, can be good for high power fast bend tracks but not so good for fast road cars. How exactly does it affect the scrub radius, does it make it more negative ? Im using this car for fast road use and summer daily drive. My intentions were simply just to have a qui...

No need to change the engine mounts.

Is that on a 318is with E46 rack mate ?

So if I get the E28 M5 mounts and mount the rack in the front holes I shouldn't need to shorten the steering link ?

thanks for the responses !

Already on it. Thanks

Hi Ive been struggling with what exactly is required to do this conversion on my 318is. Ive made the spacers to go on the top of the rack, test fitted it all and played around with the pipes a bit. So all i need to do is bend the pipes and shorten the steering link by 25mm ? Will this solve all of t...

Thanks for the responses ! Ill sort out a spare fuel pump and crank position sensor for sure. Ill also get a load of pictures and try keep a little blog. Heres the latest picture of the car to start things off. http://s30.postimg.org/tb1y955b1/e30_no_wings.jpg Its currently on jack stands now with t...

Hello zone, I have an E30 318is 1991 that I have been working over the last year. It has 115k approx on the clock, passed its last MOT no problem (due again next month) and seems to run fine. By the time I take it I will have replaced bushes, suspension, brake lines and front calipers. Im also putti...

Yes but they were for collection only and i didn't live close to the seller.

Yes decided to stick with OEM so just ordered a pair of Lemforder control arms from CP4L using one of the code, got them for £105. Not too bad i suppose...
Cheers

So is there a real difference between control arms from Lemforder and cheaper brands such as Febi. The Lemforder ones are quite pricey !

Cheers
