E30 Zone

Si, i know a bit about this car and could find out the full story on it, my mate knows the trader and i know who had the head off the engine...... txt or call me if you want to know more.

Had a great day there again yesterday,the car was going really well.I am going to see if i can find any pics on the net of the days action. I let my mate have a go in my E30 and i nad a go in his E36 328i sport.Not sure i will be able convert him to the world of e30's. His car does go well and i was...

Will be in the track slag

I will be there as always

Going out at 9.15 session also 2 afternoon sessions and going to let my dad have a blast around there again. Hoping for a dry day.

Just go to a BMW dealership and they should have a master set and will then order you the correct one or might even sell you their one and they will just order themselves another.No need to start hammering

From cold fill the gearbox until the fluid just starts coming out of the bung,refit the bung. Then run the car up to between 30 and 50 degrees. While running it up to temp run it through all the gears a few times. Then at the right temp undo the bung again and top up until just running out again. Ma...

First make sure you have the correct autobox oil, the only reason you need it connected to the computer is to make sure its at the right temperature ( 30 to 50 degress ). Make sure the car is level too. Check the level at idle speed and in park. You can then undo the level fill bung and top up as re...

It takes about 25 mins from the airport to drive or can get there on the s-bahn and u-bahn( trains), its easy and does not take long. Well worth a trip there.

Where abouts are you, i have one out of the car. PM me if interested.

Inlet and exhaust clearances are the same for the s50 b30 which are 0.28-0.33mm. ( cold ).

I used to have a E46 325ti, was a really good car. They have a good m54 engine, reliable and handle quite well too. I took mine around the ring ( totally standard ) and it did sub ten min lap. Nice and refined and good on fuel if driven carefully too. Can pick them up for a decent price now, i do mi...

I have two track sessions for sale as my friend has had to drop out last minute, the sessions are 11.00 ( bmw session )and 1.45. I brought them in advance so just want money back £25 per session ( £30 on day ) otherwise i will sell them when i get there, thought i would offer here first. Cheers stu

That was one great trip, a big thanks for Dave for organizing it. I learned lots more this trip about the track and my car went really well. I also got a ride in the ring taxi, however i got a ride in the 'Dave taxi ' and it was just as quick and more sideways!!! Proper HERO!! Can't wait to get back...

Also replacing the engine cyclone breather could cure the problem, i would do that first then i would do what Andboy says, change oil and filter first and give it a proper long run and see how things go from there. No point in doing head work if not needed.

The gearbox problem is quite common. Parts to repair are cheap enough and only takes 30 mins when the box is out. Easy fix.

Si, you should have called me if you wanted the bodywork done, give me a caal anyway when you have time and we can catch up, i have been real busy lately but hopefully getting quieter nearer to christmas.

It was a dissapointing turn out on the e30 front. :( There were about 4 other e30's only that i saw on track. The e36 boys had a good showing though and put us to shame. It was a great day never the less and my car was actually going well out on track and overtook plenty. That was my last planned tr...

I am going to go now. Booked some track time yesterday. They still have quite a few slots left, mainly in the afternoon though. Would be good to see some more e30's there.

It could have stripped some of the teeth off the cambelt. Would remove the belt and inspect. Have a look at the valve timing first to see if its moved.

Thanks for all the well wishing people. He is going to be fine, just needs to take it easy for a while. The car was worth more to him that he will get from the insurance payout. The search begins to get him another E30 now. If anyone knows of a cheapie 4 pot ( under Ã‚£150 ) Please PM me. Cheers. Wi...

It's still not 100% clear what happened, he cant remember it all. There was a van a few cars ahead of him, engine in van blew up, smoke everywhere then people in front slammed on brakes. He 'lightly' hit the car in front. Then its all a bit vague, thinks he got hit by another car, then while he was ...

Another E30 ended its days early. I brought this for my father-in-law to replace the last E30 that he had run into the ground. He had only had this 6 months. It would have still had a few years left had this not happened. Still main thing is that he is ok. I will be looking for another E30 soon to r...

I think they are about Ã‚£52 each disc.

Si, i will bring my engine crane around and get the engine out for you. I have been away for a few weeks getting some sun

I will give you a call in the next couple of days.

Yeah was a really good day, weather was very good too. We had a bbq down at Quarry and were almost the last to leave the circuit. I brought the 318is with a blown engine so i never tracked it in standard form. Now its a 325i lump, 323i dogleg box, m3 lsd, chip, elec fan, k+n etc. Also taken lots of ...

If you are after VW Golf size car in diesel and on a budget of around 4 grand you could get a 98-99 318tds compact. Cheap car to run and if your missus don't like big cars she will be fine with this.

I was there!! Saw your sport, it looked good. I did just the one session in my red 318is ( 325 lump). I was out at the same time as the red 335. What happened to it, my mate told me he went off and hit the tyre wall? Not sure if i got a pic of your car, will have a look on the camera when i upload t...

316I M43 = 1596CC - 75 KW 318I M43 = 1796CC - 85 KW 318TI M44 = 1895CC - 103 KW The 318i m43 from a 4 door e36 will go straight in as e36 compact did not do just 318i, will need the dme though. The 318ti m44 is another option. Depends if you want to keep it or fix it and sell it on? I have a 316i m4...

I have just been on a 150 mile round trip to collect my car, it did look sorry for itself in the video being towed back in. Next track day at combe is june 9th for me on the classic plus sportscars day, would be good for another meet up there.

I would check the wiring loom near the boot hinge, the wiring often breaks and shorts together. Pull the rubber protection off the loom and take a look, a good place to start.

yeah i think the sunroof is fine, will take it off. prob get it picked up sat am so strip bits on fri eve. Its got about 40 brake discs and another e30 rear subframe inside it now as its getting weighed in. Not sure if i should keep the engine, its so good seems a shame to let it go. Already got 2 o...

The shell is sound si, i am having the bonnet, wings, doors onto the red track slag and a couple of other bits and pieces( i am such a hoarder ). The engine is brilliant, i am worried that the m40 lump wont put up with the way he treats cars. Still the lux was only Ã‚£80, just dont need the aggro of...

He seriously did use to sleep in it if he was working late at one job and starting the next one early to save making a 100 mile round trip for 2 or 3 hours sleep. He used to keep an alarm clock on the dash too.

It should have had a health warning on the inside, its disgusting. I have had to move it every morning off site and back again at 5 and always have to wash my hands after. Have to use a screwdriver in the ignition switch as the ignition housing and barrell is seized, he got quizzed by the police onc...

Its been a great workhorse, i brought it about 3 years ago for Ã‚£100. It was jammed in reverse so i stuck a box in it got a mot and all good. My missus old man needed a motor and he then used it. He put 38,000 miles on it in about 18 months and all i did on it in that time was a coolant hose, clutc...
