E30 Zone

thanks man! will check tomorrow if i get the time. 3 week old baby keeps me busy. 17 year old car keeps me saine. lol.
keep the ideas coming tho peeps.

ok my 325 will not start. it starts fine if its on the flat or pointing down hill. only seem to be having this problem when its pointing up hill. It seems that all the fuel has drained back into the fuel tank. any ideas guyz and galz?

the only way i could get mine out, and back in right was to take the dash off as well. then there is no need to cut any thing. big arse on tho.

Hi to all. after a long period of not owning an e30(over 3years) i am finally back. i've been driving sencible family cars and telling my self that its a good car with nothing wrong. :cry: Sadly i was fooling myself and i couldn't take it any longer. I needed the e30ness back in my life. lol :cool: ...

to a thought, but if the worst should happen. Directline will pay you peanuts for your sport. no way near the full value. to them its just an old beemer. not a classic. cheaper isnt always cheaper in the long run. i learned the hard way with directline. Mine was a mint 89 325i sport. It took me week...

i put it down to being tall. its all about line of sight.

i had a momo wheel on my old 325i(long since rusted) didnt like it as i couldn't see the top of my speedo. ie from 60 to 90 was just a guess. as long as you go over 90 its cool tho. it did feel nice tho. i like the tech 2 best.

do it!!!!! c/c is great. totally cool on long runs or short ones when cant be arsed to press the pedal.

see. the under hand tactics of fwd cars.lol

yes rwd cars were given heavy rock to stop them winning. lol why?cause it wasn't fair on the fwd cars to loose sooooo much. lol. why do they make all good sports car rwd? and i have seen a nova in the last couple of weeks. it was still alive a very shiney.You can imagine the rest.The driver was youn...

jon_bmw saying Once you are up and moving there will be very little difference between frd and rwd is so wrong. It's just sooooooo wrong. look at the history of motor sport. rwd rules.(rally is the exception that prooves the rule) if your just driving from a to b and not in a race then there isn't m...

Oh and just incase anyone thinks the Saab will do a crap 1/4 because its FWD think again. This Coras from MIGweb did a 11.8 on street tyres. Its a 2.0 redtop engine with TB's and nitrous. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gary.doggett/corsa%20does%2011s.wmv no i said straight line speed means nothing. M...

i had a lack of power and hunting. in the end it turned out to be the dreaded head gasket. fingers crossed for ya.

i wouldn't worry. what is straght line speed anyway.saabs are wrong wheel drive. so who cares how much power they have. it will only give them bold tyres as soon as they go round a corner. Its all about the whole car as a package. and a straight drag race means nothing. stick a few corners in and yo...

it wasn't your tyres i was worried about. it was ya engine. lol.
all i could hear was ya rev limiter going bounce bounce bounce.

cool all the same though.
lol

i'm gone be the devils advocated here. every crash that i have been involved in i have been going under the speed limit. 1. Hit from behinde on a straight road whilst i waited to turn right. it was day light and i had my indercater on. I was even flashing my break lights. over 2 years on and my girl...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm e34. solid and fun.
can't fault ya. i drive a 525ix se as my daily.
its a shed but its smooth as you like to drive.
still keep both. the wife must go. lol.
or if she's gonna kill you go for the e34.
ok i'm ready for hate mail now.

i was in the same position last year or just over i had a rover 318 sl DTurbo slow as nowt but nice to drive, i had that for about 6 months, i then bought a 318is.... i loved it!! my pride and joy! but then this happened http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=19318&highli...

i went from a phase 1 almera gti to 325i sport. I must be strange but i don't think the sport felt much faster. used to piss omi off cause he couldn't waste me. having said all this e30's rule. I had a slag 325i slammed to the ground and that was more of a handfull than my sport. if you respect the ...

i'm not 100% sure but i think he paid Ãƒ”šÃ‚£400-Ãƒ”šÃ‚£500 for the exhaust. fully fitted.

he has 3 lazer blue ones now i think....japcarkiller should be able to confirm this?

i think hes got 2 in blue. and another just for the engine.

yeah i like the 318is. If you wanna make it better there's loads you can do with out changing the look.ie. under the bonnet. it all depends on what you wanna spend. A quick look on the zone shop should give you some ideas. a mate of mine drives a 318is. he's gone for a big bore throttle body, full s...

i find the mtech ones are fine. if you go too small, say a little momo type thing then you can't see the speed O very well.plus if you go too small you can't drive with ya knees when rolling a fag. lol.

i'd go with the exhaust manifold.They don't last long in the best of times.and it can sound very loud.

this page is so sad.

all though i cant believe you can flip a bmw at 20-30 mph. lol

ok here we go. nissan almera gti had it 3 months and got rear ended whilste waiting to turn right by some spaz on the phone. :cry: impact speed of about 50 my very sexy lady friend was off work for 2 years with neck problems. i got another almera gti lots of one off custom bits, had it 4 months. was...

found a cool guide for an e36 m50. the guide is for flushing the system and changing the thermostat.
So my new question is........... Do i have to drain the system b4 i can change the thermostat. or is it just a straight swap job?

be careful though. the cheapest could leave you out of pocket in the event of a claim. i got screwed when mine was written off. genuine 325i sport fsh and i had to fight like hell to get them to pay out they say top book price is around Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1900. So find out, or you to could feel sick a f**k. got...

thanks dude.
Any one know for certain. there must be some one that knows about the m50.
a few pics would be really cool.

ok it an m50 engine and its running cold. only gets out of the blue if i sit in traffic. I guess the thermostat is stuck open. ordering the new thermostat tomorrow. Checked my haynes and it doesn't cover the m50. :x So how do i go about changing it? i bet one of ya knows. share the knowledge guy and...

ok its here. lord has change the bible.
its now called the e30 restoration bible.
covers all e30's from 316 through to the m3 evo.
gotta get one.
advert is in the bmw car club magazine.

i've had :
g***vjm
f***mhp

cheers for the zone dude. we all love it to bits.
adam ya got big boots to fill. but you are the best choice imho.

good luck with what ever you do.

i bet your e30 is totally mint. lol

if there's not much rust, ie just a little surface bubbles then repair. if you tap it with a screw driver and it goes through leaving a hole, then replace the wing. remember the weather is gonna start getting wet and damp so do it sooner rather than later as it will only get worse.

dude let us know what happens.
