E30 Zone

I would check the ecu chip I had a custom designed chip from A tech that did this although the car never stalled and ran great and was much quicker after the chip so much so that a low idle never bothered me.

would have been a nice car ten years ago and was probably cheaper then too. These old beasts are fetching too much cash now especially when you factor in all that will have to be spent to get them right.

As I noted above I am not impressed by fritz bits but their exhausts and manifolds are ok

Their second hand parts that they claim are a1 are far from it in my experience.

cheers I don't really want to change the oil unless it definitely reduces usage. So could really do with hearing from someone who has used 5w30 and 5w 40 to see if its worth a premature oil change.

yeah this gives a short puff on start up too. But it always has done and it runs exceptionally well. Think I will try some 5w40 cheers.

ccv was done 30k ago It is using about a litre every 1k I think don't measure it just keep putting it in ! I am using 5w30 Castrol edge at the moment.

I have a 330i which runs and drives great, having had the suspension upgrades these cars so desperately need. However it is using a lot of oil now it has always used quite a bit but its getting worse. Given that it runs so well I was thinking of changing to a thicker grade of oil has anyone done thi...

The market is being driven up by people who have the clear funds to buy collectable cars, both in this country, and abroard. The 996 and E30, are only clinging to the coat-tails of that market though! :) true but if interest rates rise significantly new entrants to the market will think twice about...

rear bar doesn't do much an uprated front bar will help a lot though.

I have had a 330i for four years it took a lot of time and money to get it to handle well uprated shocks springs and arb's plus a proper alignment but now I can't bring myself to part with it as I keep driving more expensive cars that are no better. If you can find a good one i.e one that has had pl...

some people pay for that odour!
you have had a lucky find there some decent suspension and that will be great to drive as well as look at.

Looks like he has more money than sense ergo the ideal owner for this car.

I think e90's generally are fairly expensive compared to the e46 at the same age. I put it down to scrappage scheme and low car sales for a few years after 2008 which have kept used car prices high.

£2300 for a 324k 2.0 diesel with engine issues that sounds really expensive to me.

proof the e30 Is reaching classic status rusty old traps are fetching good money.

they are a lot lighter than the standard convertible too so go well. Watch rust though.

ride quality on the h+r springs is excellent but I would go for the 35mm drop it will be at least that. Also h+r arb's transform these cars.

the plastic four spoke hurts your hands.

the momos are the best yes the view of the speedo is obscured a bit but they are way superior to either tec 1 or 2 as for the standard and the SE the less said the better.

would look better without the dash and steering wheel leather. Less is sometimes more.

Any specialist would charge a lot for all that work

This post has just reminded me that Pony is of course cockney rhyming slang for crap. As in pony and trap-what a load of pony etc.

why? I have driven some cars mapped there and they went very well especially compared to other maps.

bw chip tune is where I would take it.

best pads for dust!

tyremen were good and cheap for some vredsteins I bought recently.

both are lower than oem eibach pro are closer but both are way better than oem I like H+R

I have driven non abs e30's and properly set up they stop very well and have better brake feel than the abs fitted cars. I really wouldn't bother if your cars brakes are carp it's not the lack of abs that's the likely problem.

The H+R cup kit takes some beating for reasonable money.

All further comment is superfluous.

auto and steering wheel kill it for me.

I have the H+R cup kit on my 330i it rides very well.
