I think the heat shield just looks too similar (strangely) to the fake stick on halfords ones.

yeh know what u mean, see how it is when iv lived with the look for a bit

Blimey, did you cut'n'weld a round pipe to make it oblong? Pretty impressed if you did! :cool: Can't really see the point in side exit exhausts myself though, unless you need to do it for packaging reasons, but there's plenty of room under then E30. yeah split a 50mm SS pipe and welded in sections ...

it does come through the sill, but its been cut and welded so as not to lose any strength, and i think my welding is prob good enough lol.

eh was thinking bout painting sheild as there is no other shiney on car - althou itd be a shame to paint Ti

its a stripped out 325i track / drift car

each to his own eh?

no my camera batts died on me, on charge for tmrw

just started on my side exit - opinions? ignore rough finish inside - yet to finish!

yes lpg has a much higher calorific value, but car needs to be set up to best utilise it

cheers ant, got another sensor on route thru a mate so will throw is and se what happens!

as in title really. can a failing CrankPositionSEnsor cause an intermittant no spark problem??

quick update - went for a poke around under the bonnet, cranked it over, nothing, so pulled a plug to see it was soaked, it wasnt. rested it on the rocker cover to check for spark and as i was cranking it - it started!, so knocked it off, refitted plug and tested again. started fine. im guesing inte...

ok drove nearly 200 miles no problem, never had this problem before. stopped as usual, no juddering or spluttering etc. cam out 4 hours later, nothing just spinning over. checked for obvious things under the bonnet (it was getting dark) and sqeezed the fuel lines - felt pressurized, said a few swear...

iv got an se with mtech sus and lsd so not a lot in mycase

scuttle

Part of the main light switch. Pull out the rar ashtray, and pull out the little bulb that lights it, complete with its holder. There is a grey/red and a brown/white wire to it. Switch the sidelights on, and, with a piece of wire, connect the brown/white to a good car body earth. If this brings the...

twizzle the headlight pull switch

The E30 exhaust ports are round and I think the E36 ports are oval shape. The real problem you will have is that the E36 manifold will be the wrong shape to fit in the E30 chassis. Would be a lot of hassle modding it to fit. port shape isnt a biggy, could change flanges. u reckon itd hit chassis le...

yes i know the e36 has more valves, but im interested in exhaust post shape/spacing reason i ask is iv found a few cheap tubular manifolds for the e36 and wonder how much trouble itd be getting them on an e30 325i. they wouldnt have to meet up to an e30 system as im goin custom anyway and the flange...

remember it being some kinda short across the diag plug??

any one?

aha - i see y u were diappointed

I had ordered bigger discs and the Wilwood 4-pot calipers. When I looked at the pads and compared them to the BMW pads, they looked slightly smaller and I was bitterly disappointed. as braking is based upon torque it is the radius of the pad from the axle and not NECESSARILY the size of the brake p...

if its cheaaaaaaaaaap then maybe worth the risk me, I'd go for a complete if tatty but running M5, then you'll have all the required parts, there's a lot to be said for an engine you can hear run and feel go Fowler and M5Pilot both have strong 3.6 M5's for slae @ the moment me..... I'd leave the M2...
