E30 Zone

Our tips take around 4 tyres a week, which makes it easy to get rid of them legally....

Ohhh detailing bits.... get 'um out!

Over 15k of daily driving in e30's with locked diffs, no crashes (off track

). If you want welded diff information come over to www.trampdrift.com otherwise, e30 technical q's can be answered here.

Drifting is shite, your all chavvy wankers who do burnouts and then put photos of them in your sigs

We were not preaching we were defending drifting after someone asked a question which was drift related and you lot laid in to him for no real reason. I don't care if you like drifting or not, I just don't think when someone asks for help that you need to start abusing them and calling them a chav, ...

my thing is speed

So your a fast and furious wannabe? I know that your not but it's basically like saying that anyone that drifts an e30 is a chav that just does endless shit doughnuts on the limiter in 1st

And I'm not taking advice from somone thats drives a convertable.

Pacerpete needs to suck my nuts. Go wax your car and fit some m3 mirrors or something equally lame...

Bah drifting e30's is fine, not so much at the higher level as the standard rear end layout isn't great but nice little capable cars and take abuse all day long if there looked after well.

I think pacerpete is on Trampdrift.com so maybe not sarcastic....

I'll take a set please ZedOne

Installed mine today, was a PITA only because one of the cap heads that bolt through the sill was rounded and I had to angle grind it off, other than that a really easy install. Be wise and WD40 the bolts the night before through as mine didn't look like they'd been touched since the factory 8O . Us...

Got mine this morning too, any suggestions on what to use to lubricate them with for fitting, assuming they don't just slot in dry.

PM'd PayPal addy!

Keep us up to date will ya ;)

I'll take some, means I don't have to drop the subframe off till at least the summer

Will these help on fubar'd bushes because I'm getting silly axel tramp in the rain when I loose traction.

I'm down for one, mine got ripped off ages ago and I never retrieved it

Drift bitch

Replaced the plastic bag with some acrylic

Ahh I was thinking on an exhange basis, e.g old struts replaced for monies and modified ones.

I'd be in for a set... So let me get this straight, for Ã‚£150 you get a modified strut housing and spring, and you can use any shock of your choice for example I've got some Spax (non adjustable) up front. I take it this also applies to the rear, you can use any shock of choice, something like koni...

You have PM Zed

I've been running some spax non-adjustables for over a year now and there giving too much bodyroll. I use the car for drifting and it's too sloppy at the rear. I want some shocks with a short stroke and that are very stiff. I don't want to pay silly money so I was wondering what my options were?

Si, your lame STFU...

Long live tramp drift

I had this problem on the front, thought that when i swapped the springs i'd accidentally put the one of the old springs back on by mistake...

Changed the wheels and tyres and it was fine. Think I was running 1x 14 and 1x 15 and I'd never noticed

Am fitting spacers for chassis clearence on full lock (modified tie rod ends)

I've got some spacers to fit to the front of my e30 once my e36 rack goes in and I shim it up for some more lock. I know standard bolts are m12 x 1.5, whats the standard length as the spacers are 10mm and I need bolts roughly that extra. If no-one knows there some on ebay is the measurement of the t...

Hmmm trying to decide from the many stupid things I've done... Spent a week checking all the electrics with a multimeter because the car wouldn't turn over (after installing a chip) only to click on I should try the standard ecu... surprise surprise! Left brake caliper bolts loose and it fell off mi...

My car see's a garage once a year.... MOT and thats it. Last time I took my 306 (old daily) for a headskim and gasket, they somehow ripped the gearnob, put all the trim in wonkey and unaligned the steering wheel!

My current e30 (325i prefacelift 4dr SE) exhaust hangs very close to the floor (car lowered 60mm) about an inch from the centre box to the floor, so it smacks everything. I was looking around a friends 325i facelift and his exhaust sits flushly underneath the body of the car. I've always assumed the...

I meant the board had been swapped before...

Edit: To clear up, it looked like the SI board has been swapped before at one point in it's life.

Being as my car was a pre-facelift 87' 325i se I assumed it would have the old Nic'd batteries in. When the temp gauge started to play up and the rev gauge started to stutter/stick a bit (engine was reving freely) I though they'd need replacing. So I bought a pre-facelift SI board from here, brand n...

v8's are not for cruising

You need to hear it roar! Averaging 18.9mpg in the 325 and I spent most of the time sideways or on WOT through the forest.

In the e30 diff's there are seals in each output flange, these tend to leak on older diff's.

I've been changing my clutch slave over today and noticed my gearbox mounts are shagged. Is there an uprated version or something poly.

Links would be nice ;)

Or you can use the pikey method

Quick pressure wash and a rattle can of hammerite

I'm currently running some spax (non-adjustables) shocks and springs on a 60/40mm drop on my 4dr 325i SE. I don't have any rubbing problems on the rear but I want to drop it another 20mm. I'll more than likely just cut a coil off each of the rear springs. Only problem is I've got some quite a bit of...

Take off the ICV and give it a blast with some carb/brake cleaner. Make sure the vavle inside is moving freely.

This happened when I left my e30 off the road for a couple of months, it just froze up the vavle inside of the ICV.

Only two but I'm 19

325i 2dr and a 325i 4dr SE which I currently drive, untill the MOT that is.

I've got a matt black exhaust tip, looks fine

Well I say tip, I used VHT paint from the downpipe back, shame it all scrapped off, damn speed bumps.
