Relisted again under a different user who seems to have a track record of selling dodgy cars judging my feedback!

Item: 161057766640 just incase anyone was considering buying it (I wouldn't!)

Yes you're right but wondered how genuine the claims of the engine work may be and whether the car just has an exhaust and hartge badges....I should have been more specific in my original post.

Wondering if anyone knows the car?

What's this all about then? A genuine hartge or a bodged up after market job?

Looks tidy in the pics, shame it doesn't have hartge wheels.

Where can you get Bosal systems from? Directly? Or outlets?

I have ran Jetex systems on my Golfs for years and they are excellent. I've heard similar comments as stated above on the Scorpion and Mongoose. 99% of people who I have spoken to with Powerflow systems have complained that they are boomy and too loud....so might be down to the place they had theirs...

its a minter (grew up in jersey) auto, white, leather, solid underneath, looks amazing... 1600 without mot, tax??? The key here for menus the no MOT bit. Why doesn't it have one and why won't he put it through an MoT? I would be suspicious unless I knew the car 1st hand and pay significantly low pr...

For any retrim work in the midlands I would use 'bespoke leather' there work that I have seen is near on flawless although they are not cheap but well worth doing it properly.

It would be more cost effective buying these used and fitting BMW specific runners and retrimming rather than spending 5k!! This recaro seat is readily available in many cars, I nearly bought a set for my e36 but opted not to. Can't recall which recaro model they are? Possibly speed? I might be wrong.

Any thoughts.......

These don't look too good IMO, mass produced seat covers as oppose to custom bespoke retrim.

Any thoughts....... Most leather re-trims look bloody awful. Spend the money on a set of original seats in which don't need a re-trim. You obviously haven't seen decent ones then? Buying a set of original seats is a great idea but with the e30 approaching near 25 years of age there is not many dece...

Air ride is 99% for show and VERY expensive! although the quality of the drive is meant to be as good as a decent set of coilovers and not alot should go wrong other than a burst bag which isn't too common - but when it goes, you will be stranded! I was thinking of installing air on one of my prev...

Thanks kos, you've made my mind up for me.....I'm going with the cup kit. There are some Stonkingly good deals over on German eBay! A saving of over £100 to what they are here in the UK!

Thanks all for the advice. cup kit on the cab the B8's or B6's will be too stiff. there other option would be the B4 bilstein shocks aslo a cab sits low on the back, i'd only consider a slight drop on the front only Thanks kos, do you know of any springs that have a similar drop to my motorsport sus...

anothere21323i - thanks for that! i have heard exactly that of the B8/eibach set up and wanted to know how the H&R compared as there is a price difference. From my experience of the H&R coilovers they are quite harsh. The Americans love the H&R set up on their modern BMWs - probably because they...

Which one would you go for and why?
Any comments on ride quality/harshness much appreciated.

Many thanks

In addition to this, can anyone tell me their experience of running 16" wheels with an approximate drop of 60mm Fronts and 40mm rears - does the car rub all over bumps and bad camber roads?? Dude shouldn't do, although will all be dependant on the tyre size, if you are thinking of doing this to tha...

the rs wheels will only improve drivability and looks, the best wheels ever. If u was to put replicas would make it look cheap but original rs are the only way to go if you have a nice e30. I have some pics of 16 inch,will upload later I wouldn't go for reps no way! I'll look fwd to some pics, much...

Wanting to know if anyone who has them
On their pride and joy? What widths/offsets are you running?

Pics would be good too!

I'm on the hunt for the ultimate OE rim for my 325.

Thanks

Cheers Rob that's a great starting point....I'll try and take a look within the next few days and see how I get on. As for the 3rd point, it's a weird one! Nothing in the boot, nothing on the arches. I'll get it up in the air and see if it's anything obvious. May have to get someone to drive and I'l...

Hi, Picked up my Convertible the other day and there are a few niggles I needed your help with diagnosing please. 1) Central locking was working when I picked it up but then stopped and now I can't even lock the door and the passengers side door remains locked and so does the petrol flap (I had to p...

PMSL! The joys of technology!

I am pretty new to the E30-Zone but I agree that the buyer has no come back at all! At the same time I know that a forum should be like a community - we all help eachother out and not rip one another off. I can tell that you sold the engine in good faith and the chap should have installed it straigh...

Damn - these cars must get stolen to order to be shipped out to other countries as there are so few left here they would easily be traced.

Bad times!

whoah! 4 year thread revival goldysingh..... :D i know jotz no longer has his motorsport, dont know about the rest though... haha, better than starting a new thread! Couldn't agree more....I'm having a nose about to see how many motorsport cabs there are on here. Hopefully i'll be one of them soon!

Thanks Dips lol! I get that these cars can be a labour of love a bit like the mk2 Golfs I have owned, although they were cheap to fix, replace engines and gearbox or even updating engines were quite straight fwd. Anything in particular you are referring to? This will rarely get used anyway as the 54...

Damn right! Would never dream of modding a car like that!

Thanks mate - yeah I've had 1 E30 before but quite a few cars from that era.

Hows it going Kos?

Just thought I would ask about on here before I go over to pay the man the money for it.

LINK REMOVED

Does anyone know the history of this car? good/bad?

Does it belong to anyone on here......i'm looking to buy this if all goes well.

Many Thanks

possibly - will get back to you tomorrow - in the meantime can you send my pics and how much you want to h4rvsingh@hotmail.com

Can anyone help?

Just wanted to know if there were any recommended places?

I did a search on google and came across car hood warehouse - in the chessington area who will do a Mohair hood for approx £550 fitted.

Let me know if anyone has any experience with them? and how much I should expect to pay.

Thanks

318-is - This is a useful bit of info, Thanks![/quote]

ok, they have the same stud pattern as an E30 but require spacers.

Does anyone know what other cars share the same stud pattern as the E30's?

Many Thanks
