What did you do to your E30 today?

[e30-EVN]

Turned the key, scowled at it as nothing happened, came back inside

LOL

[SHAKEELE30]

changed front shocks over for some bilsteins, and the springs, and then tried to take the disks off, but end up rounded off the f'in small screw that holds them in, on both sides, that just wound me right up...

[ajay]

Finally got a chance to re fit the rear brakes, removed them last summer and slowly refurbed/rebuilt them as new. With a bit of luck the fronts will be on too, soon.

[bigwinn]

did the red/black wire mod and fixed my CL issue

[BHadley]

Got the dash cluster lighting up, now to sort the headlight fog light and headlight adjuster display bulbs.

[kieran325]

Washed the M3 and wheeled it back in the garage.

[Sanchez]

made it run on 6 cylinders

The problem was?!

+1?

Thought it was fixed but must be dodgy wiring somewhere as its intermittent now.

Might get the inlet off and injectors away for cleaning.

[spook]

Taxed the coont, up early tomorrow for a blast

[Jos]

Connected jump lead between solenoid and batt -ve. Starter still not turning, locked it again and went inside to find other starter motor.. Sunday I swear I will change it this time.

its ok - ive done that in the past (to be fair the engine was over heating and my mate put water in a fuel can and let the car run out of fuel too!)

[Quaser]

Fitted to the exhaust on the m52 - car is overfuelling

removed kinks from power steering lines and still not working

[FinalD]

Fitted my tidied up grills...





I'll do a write up on what I've done later.

[BEERBOY123]

Wished it goodnight while I was boosting the boiler in the garage.

[FinalD]

Drove it to the MOT, drove it home again...now I need to fix some stuff within 10 working days.

[gooner1]

Removed the remains of the old water pump, along with the 4 correct length mounting bolts instead of the laughably short bolts that had no chance of connecting the pump to the block , fitted new belts. Filled with new coolant , bled the system.
No leaks, no over heating and a lovely warm interior.

[BATTS91]

Today i hung the arse out irresponsably and got waved by little kids because of it .

Pacer take notes it may help ! Lol

[HJG-E30]

removed rear calipers. Brake pad in o/s disintegrated upon removal

[Motorhole]

Finally got round to sorting out pedal box plumbing after a headache with wrong size bulkhead fittings. Just got to do the t-piece to left/right front lines and the in-car pedal box-rear t-piece line now

[Sanchez]

Tidied up under my rear end a bit and fitted my LSD.

[polsta]

Not too much really, I expected it to fail really badly for it's first MOT with me. Pleasantly surprised though that it failed on the following:

Nearside Front bleedniple Braking system leaking (3.6.A.1) **DANGEROUS**

Rear into tank Fuel hose leaking (7.2.3) **DANGEROUS**

Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content excessive (7.3.B.2a)

Parking brake efficiency below requirements (3.7.A.10) **DANGEROUS**

I'll sort it all over the next week.
The bleed nipple isn't the bleed nipple but is the union between the solid copper line and the new braided line, it has a very minor weep, but obviously I need to sort that.
Fuel hose...I'm not sure which hose/pipe they mean so will have to have a play underneath.
Emissions were hilarious (pre cat car so max of 3.5% CO), it ran 6.78%. I think this is mostly due to the air sensor and ECU being different from what came with the engine, I'll swap them over and also have a check/adjust with the TPS etc. Helpfully, the guys at the garage are happy for me to (provided I know how to adjust stuff...to the wiki!) run the car on their ramps whilst metering the CO until it is within tolerance then they'll retest it.
The hand brake, I had made it too tight before so slackened it off, too far it seems, easy fix.

Not too bad as the car hadn't been MOTed since March 2010 and had blown an engine in late 2010, early 2011. Over the past 6 months I've stripped large amounts down and rebuilt them and sourced a replacement engine.

Also as it was the first proper drive I've done in the car...wow, handles a lot better than I'd expected and makes a glorious noise. I drove home with the roof down and I love it.

Hahahahah aha!! Love it

One of my fav gifs

[beemerbird]

I admired it today. Yesterday I fixed a lingering wash / wipe problem, then took it for a celebratory hand wash

[Bristol_Jer]

I took off the exhaust, heatshield and prop ready to take the gearbox off this afternoon and tried not to look at the rust bubbling through the rear wheel arches!

[gjj107]

Patched the front footwell, and had the windscreen in and out to try and stop the leak.

And then had poke in the rear inner arches and found small holes both sides so more welding fast approaching methinks

[Gert_8]

I squeezed past it getting to mt toolbox, then squeezed back and adjusted the sheet covering the bonnet.
