E30 Zone

AVA have a very good name.

you could also ask on passionford for other recomendations in your area.

1144 are great road pads, and not too harsh on disks and pretty quiet. 1155 are AWESOME fast road / trackday pads, the level of friction is incredible and they dont fade until the disks are actually glowing but they are very aggressive on the disks themselves and are also quite noisey when used very...

well straightend out mate. hope you getting on to build another e30! a real shame bout the day and the car but at least you came to no harm.that has not put me off going to the ring it just tells me to make sure i have insurance and watch 4 that corner!!!! Not sure if i will do another E30 or not, ...

Some local german kiddy wont be able to believe his luck when he wanders into the local scrapyard and finds a set of alpina rims and a mint heated leatehr interior, lol

To be fair the damage doesnt seem all that bad.. Not good by any means.. Front end is all bolt on stuff, rear needs a new quarter, could maybe work with the rear panel Like you say tho, metal can be replaced and rumours have blown stuff waaay out of proportion No mate, you cant see it from that pic...

If i brought it back here at my own expense (which would be hundreds of pounds and 2 days of time gone) the insurance company may still not choose to sell me the salvage cheaply, its just not worth it sadly. As there was no oil leaking and car was driveable it seemed reasonable to "limp it home" but...

Yeah its a bit gutting not being able to keep the salvage, as that would have easily made my mind up what "ring car" to get next, as i would have got another E30 if i had all those spare bits for it. Not sure what im going to pick now though, probably wont even thinking about it till around new year...

Gutting thing is the car is still in germany and the insurance company are BOUND to scrap it there locally, so i wont get a chacne to buy the "salvage rights" to it, so the wheels and interior etc are all going to end up in a german scrapyard!

Hello lads, im back online now :D NO oil leaked from my car at all, not one drop, the sump was completely undamaged, as Nick says the only thing that dripped from my car was a bit of water from the engine with a very weak summer coolant mix, and 90% of that ended up right next to the barrier instnat...

if u ever find the cunts that took it,.. ill join the trip to say "hello" to them with cricket bats!

trust me, if K's mate bruno find out, none of the rest of us would be of any use

Danny J, you wouldnt happen to know what i mean if i siad "5 door johnson" would you? If so, its a small world, if not, ignore me, lol What the fuck you doing on an E30 board :D 8O PS Yes... how are you mate? More to the point what the fuck are you doing here? LOL Im good thanks mate. Must meet up ...

cheers.

didnt check the e30 bit of the forum as i figured if it was posted there it would have been moved by now, lol

A good friend of mine had his car nicked last night, if anyone happens to see it (very long shot i realise!) please let me know!

Didnt really get that many pictures in the end, as there was far too much open diff wrongness going on :cry: But here are a few that i did get. Ive got larger the orginals if people want the pics of their own cars. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/chip-3door/haynes-e30/haynes1.jpg http://i7.pho...

Just bumping this one for any extra input, as ive just cracked the sump on our E30 and so need to fit a new one now.

Sounds exactly like ours.

You cant beat these old nail e30's for a bit of cheap fun

325 IMHO

Its the perfect combination of having a bit of pace, but due to the low output per litre, still being a good lazy cruiser.

Rotrex's are fantastic bits of kit, but a little pricey. SP30-94 on a well specced 325 motor would be awesome though :D As above, they tend to make more boost at high RPM, which IMHO is perfect, because it means you can keep the CR high and dont end up with loads of midrange torque, its a much more ...

LOL

Fair play

suspension is only a 35/40mm drop as well!

shows how hard its cornering!

Nice pic. How are you both finding the E30 now then? Still fun or have you got bored of it yet? Well, its a bit half and half really, we both quite like the car as a car for chomping up motorway miles and stuff like that, and it handles in a fairly pleasant way, but TBH no matter what we do to it i...

You making an appearance at haynes in a week?

Yes mate i should be popping along to haynes to spectate and meet you all.

yeah it is the exhaust you can see im afraid, its had a chavvy exhaust since we got it and we havent bothered to replace it as it works ok and we arent really bothered what it looks like anyway. Will be barrier shaped soon anyway i suspect! (if anyone wants to buy a nice set of good nick heated leat...

Fantastic bit of photography this i reckon

Was taken at llandow yesterday on the bus-stop corner (aka the drift complex! lmao )

335i would be a nice finishing touch i think.

If they are worth that much it sounds like its worth returning to standard trim, selling on, buying a good nick normal one and using the 5 grand change to do it up with

Dont ask me cos im new to this Motorsport game!! Bharat?? But i do have a working electric hood, full motorsport grey leather with sport colours stiched into the corners of the seats. Stiched centre consol in matching leather, colour coded stiched door cards, colour coded boot lid cover (tool kit o...

Is there a lot of call for power hoods when on a car used in motorsport then?

casnt really see that it makes much difference, but it seems to make you happy for some reason so congratulations

A question for the Tech Guru's but can the cars (e30's) actually automatically map themselves to this high octane fuel (98,99,100 ron) Becuase if it cant then why pay for it? I would be surprised if that age of vehicle does much in terms of advancing the ignition to take advantage of the higher oct...

Just wondering if either of the other 2 E30's on track at the RS owners club day at bedford were off this forum, there were 3 of us there in E30's in the end but didnt get a chance to chat to the other two.

Im up for a meet in reading providing its midweek in an evening, as im not in this part of the world except mon-thur

Ant, you say maybe the cam is retarded, surely you have that the wrong way round? Retarding a cam will move the power up the rev range, not down it. Or am i misreading what you have put? Glad to hear its up and running anyway, the megasquirt "autotune" when attached to a lambda sensor and given a ta...

I really cant believe you lot are still carrying on with this. This thread was just a simple question about whether a Noz set up can be run on a E30 and we now have 6 pages af abuse :( At the end of the day, there is more than one way to get to any location, so can you lot just beg to differ and le...
