E30 Zone

Guys I'm in the process of finishing the build of my E30. I've fitted some full proper coilovers and have had the wheel hitting the coils on the strut. So I need to get some spacers to cure this. What size spacers are people running?

Thanks

Starter motor signal wire is black/yellow. It gets its power from the green on the ignition switch, which is not dependant on the engine loom or any relays or fuses. Starter wire from the ignition switch is plain black, but changes to black/yellow at a plug and socket clipped half way down the stee...

Hey guys Got hold of a c Reg 323i that was well beyond economical repair but was running A1. I had a mint 318i lux on a H Reg and decided to convert the 318i with the 323i lump. Both cars are automatic as well. I have converted to the newer round harness plug and virtually all of the key wiring colo...

Hey guys I've got a 323i that has a standard exhaust system on it at present. I've got hold of a performance exhaust for it but its only the rear 2 parts of a 325i system. Having looked at the two side by side my 323i has had a bastardised 325i standard exhaust fitted which means they have chopped a...

Thanks for the ideas but I'm dead against transferring the ID over to the donor car. I'm a licensed car breaker by trade and its just not worth the potential aggravation to have something which links me to 'murky' dealings with car identities!

you pair of rotters!!!

Hey guys Bit of a conundrum. I have a H reg 318is that needs a full restoration. Its rotten, the interiors shagged and it will need a fair amount of money pouring in to it. Now this was a perfectly fine scenario as I was prepared to do this and purchased an accident damaged E30 that looked really go...

blatently need a hats off smiley right about now!

Incredible work on the car and its great to see that the car is going to be virtually concours when done!

Is this a route you want to go down with it, i.e the bodies mint, so the engine, interior, etc have to follow suit?

lol sounds like they just bashed the calculator randomly and told your the numbers it came up with!

awful news

R.I.P

thanks for the comments, as always they are appreciated. Plans for the future include getting the front to sit a little bit lower. It sits about 20mm off the front wheels give or take where as the back is about 5mm lol. I also have the spoiler to trial fit to see if its something I'm going to put ba...

Hey guys A few pictures of my little E30 taken a few days ago when we had a bit of sunshine :) http://www.shropshirebmwparts.co.uk/e30/new/painted/nospoiler/pass1.JPG http://www.shropshirebmwparts.co.uk/e30/new/painted/nospoiler/passrear.JPG http://www.shropshirebmwparts.co.uk/e30/new/painted/nospoi...

:drool: spare parts Ollie, M10 engine goes like stink once you take the wankey carb off. 100 times better then the M40. So what carb do you replace it with?????? you fit a weber conversion carb that turns it into a manual choke. I have found the performance out of the little M10 to be pretty good c...

what an absolute bitch. reminds me of the spate of M3 bumpers getting stolen of E36's such a shitty thing to do ffs.

I really hope you find the people responsilbe and rip them a new one

if I was a judge you would be getting a long jail sentence!

thanks for the love guys appreciate it! Going to get a few shots of the interior asap

looks like pistonheads has thrown a wobbler so get some pics sorted ;)

nice work there fella. Definetly need to sort out that backbox though

lovely

wheels are looking

looking smart fella

check out my post in the photo gallery forum for my M3 replica

Hey guys Quick update to say I got the car finished on Friday morning and headed upto edition38 in northampton. although a VW show alot of my mates are into the scene including myself. So here are a few shots of her nearly there! As you can see the spoiler didnt make it on in time but I will be putt...

omg, seriously I would camp out in a car all day to catch the shit ffs. Its totally unbelievable. Its going to be someone you know because A. they know where the car is kept, B. they knew it had just been painted otherwise they could have come back and just done more damage at anytime, rather than s...

bbs's for the win every time, simple as!

I thought this car looked godawful when it was yellow - but really liking the transformation thats been done so far. Keep the pics coming 8) lol you can put me into that catagory for that as well. I mean who the hell paints a car yellow :mad: I'm pretty sure I'm doing the car the justice it deserve...

this is a very common thing on an M50 or M52 engine. I dismantle and repair E36 BMW's for a living and they all do this. Its nothing to be worried about at all. Its normally caused by the oil naturally leaving the top of the engine which in turn leaves the top of the engine dry of oil. Normally upon...

lol ok guys I see that the people feeling the spoiler is around 20% with the other 80% wanting no spoiler. I will get some pictures shortly with the spoiler fitted. Unfortunetly the current lid has the holes already drilled into it for the spoiler so I have no choice really as it stands. I will then...

very good mate, sort of asks the question 'why do BMW put grey in there cars for'

lol

Hey Jeroen I have seen you about looks like you are connected in the baur world :) dont suppose you know a decent supplier for the rear section cover as pictured here do you? http://www.bmw-baur-tc-club.de/veranstaltungen/2002moehnesee/bilder/PICT0725.jpg As for the tech2 spoiler on that M3 baur I w...

Looks Awesome! Did you decide not to put the spoiler on in the end! No the spoiler is going back on but if I dont like it in the end its not a problem to get another bootlid and have it sprayed up. When I look at the car in the work shop the back end just doesnt look right without a spoiler on. My ...

Hey guys Just a quick update of progress. I have got the bonnet and all glass in apart from the front screen which is going to be sorted out shortly thanks to a few friendly off the books RAC glass people :P Put the roof on as well. I could do with another section in truth due to one or two fairly m...

Hey folks I need some sort of contact adhesive thats going to be upto the job of keeping my fabric trim attached to the car on my baur roof. Its not torn or anything I want to attach a fresh piece of material to it :) Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a particular brand and s...

bad news dude. Unfortuntetly the world is full of morons and robbing bastards. I personally find that the only people worth trusting with anything are my friends and family.

hopefully you will be able to get this all sorted out and get what is clearly rightfully yours back.

if you can find my thread on my baur paint job you can see mine fitted as well

well if your going to do it properly....

talk about mashed. If it was me in your shoes I would definetly consider the M50 conversion but only if your mechanically minded and happy to have the car off the road for a while as you do the work, etc.
