it says on the log book its a 325i sport E30 1989 when i insuered it it came up as a i sport to? this boy i know picked me up in his skyline 615 rolling road test to prove it to its mint all carbon fiber most of it its scary fast i was crying in the passengers seat iv never been so shit scared in my life but the bmw seems more powerful? it really does like img oing to have to meet up with him again and drag it out lol

[massive]

ceri you have PM

[ceri325isport]

yeah iv got pm i think? lol

[ceri325isport]

yeah iv got pm i think? lol

Fair play on the purchase, looks to be in very nice order. Wouldn't recommend challenging that Skyline to a drag though

Well done and welcome to bmw ownership

[Jhonno]

you will only end up feeling daft if you do race the Skyline.. Sport is not even in the same league of performance 170bhp vs. 600bhp. Most powerful non turbo m20 on here has had many k spent on it and 'only' makes 250bhp.. In a car which isnt exactly light, and has the aerodynamics of a breeze block, it aint gonna happen

0-60 is 7.5 secs - Skyline will be easy be sub 5 secs

looks like the motor has at least been cleaned up tho..

[ceri325isport]

ah i know that the skyline will do me 5 times over lol but whats the harm really i know the guy hes cool he wont mind any chance to try and impress me haha thanks for the replys guys you lot are great ah but before i go on the front of my cra on the headlight iv got the chrome inserts that go round the headlights missing where can i get them from???? looking for ages now still no luck like

[d6dph]

Firstly Welcome to the zone.

Looks like a nice purchase, by im very sceptical about the 140 in fourth thing? Have you got access to a gps unit (ie Road angel or the likes).

Do you have any ideas what modifications have been made over the years?

Most of all Enjoy it, but be carefull doing that sort of speed on a public road.

[Zayyan]

E30s due to their 1970s suspension set up, relative light weight and driver involvement certainly "feel" quite quick.

Most powerful car I've driven at length is a 320bhp Audi, and yet the E30 316i I jumped into afterwards did feel more of a handful simply as it's so "raw".

I doubt you've got anything other than a standard Sport there, but at 18 it's still a decent amount of power. How much is insurance by the way?

Gotta say I'm shocked that there's an 18-year-old girl on here and the site perverts haven't popped up yet. No pun intended of course.

send a PM to Dazleeds, I sold him a load of parts which went with my car and there was a bag full of brand new chrome rings. He'll see you right

[maxfield]

Maybe something to do with turbo lag in the skyline.
Don't know about 140 in 4th unless you got 3:25 diff on there but that would mean very slow acceleration

[coldo]

Meant to tell everyone earlier, i was having a bit of a ding dong up the M8 against a concorde in my 316i. He dropped a gear and floored it the same time i did, the tarmac started to buckle under my tyres and i went into a wheelie. i was gubbing him like he was going backwards.

So yeah, your 325i probably will beat this 640bhp skyline you talk of, cos E30's are the fastest cars ever you know.

[E30BeemerLad]

saucer of milk for coldo

£1000.00 third party fire and theft thats a year though so not that bad like!

At least most boys can handle a 325i without complaining that the front wheels are lifting up

Just messing

Cheers for that, will give Tesco a try. I'm guessing you've got a years NCB as opposed to my 0 years though

[ceri325isport]

owww big boy im not complaining i love the vibrations from my sport haha but being a boy 1 year or 20 years ncb wont make a difference to your premium haha joking babe xxxxxhaha

[Zayyan]

owww big boy im not complaining i love the vibrations from my sport haha

I know you're right about the premiums, just don't like to admit it

I'm 19 next week though so only 2 years and a bit until I can insure some serious metal for reasonable money

Have you taken any pics then (of the car, of course)

[ceri325isport]

[ceri325isport]

[Jon_Bmw]

Zay stop flirting, you'll be after scotts position soon

[Zayyan]

on my digie cam yeh but my computer wont load them up at the min like having a bit of trouble like but ill get it sorted soon, i knew you were on about the cra honest haha!!!! lmao

And I can get insured by Sheila's Wheels by the way Under my Mum's name though

Still even if it were the cheapest I couldn't go with them, what if someone asks who I'm insured with?

Conan it seems from the quotes I've got that insurance drops about 40% as soon as you turn 21 - reasonable enough for me

[Zayyan]

Zay stop flirting, you'll be after scotts position soon

You cheeky mofo. I'm not flirting anyway, just being....er.... friendly....honest

Nobody could take Scott's place anyway

[ceri325isport]

[d6dph]

hehe 25 and i pay £440 f/c!

[ClemQjeronimo]

Welcome to the zone then ceri. not often one sees a chick who knows anything about cars, let alone takes a interest in BMW's.

[dazleeds]

hey beemerlad how do i find Dazleeds im new to the site???

you found me babe


but can ya keep hold of me?

[Weezie]

Welcome to the zone ceri, I see you have been made to feel at home already! most of the zoners are harmless enough. (I think)

[Cotty]

sounds more like the shockers are knackered

This is what i thought

I used to hate that on my car, was like driving a boat, put your foot down and the front would rise, brake and the front goes down. Now sorted with new uprated shocks and springs all round

[TouringMatt]

How you getting on with the KW's?

I've ordered the springs for mine, couldnt afford the whole lot
