jumps 1 half a meter off the floor!!!!!!

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.

I read in the paper today that a lot more girls are getting into cars and not just the buying/posing site but the mechanical side as well


All good

[steveoz32]

Bloody hell a grand is good for a 325???! I was paying only 760 fully comp on my E36 M3, and I was only 25 at the time! Beleive it or not that was with admiral.

[TouringMatt]

Beleive it or not that was with admiral

I can believe that! My renewal came through from Elephant (Admiral underwrite them) for £500, via confused.com i got a quote for £347 direct from Admiral - madness!

[wildeian]

Ahhh, I remember being 18 and getting quotes for £1600 to insure an XR2!!!!

Ten years on and I'm paying £253 fire and forget on a Sport!

[SwirlyE30]

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.

Hows this any differnt? Anyone who thinks a standard sport feels quicker than a skyline, and lifts off about a meter is either on drugs, or knows sh*t all about cars.

[ad318i]

Hey welcome to the zone....

your v lucky when i was 18 the best quote i had for my old 318i was £2600!!! Im 21 now but i havent bothered gettin my own insurance yet.... shouldnt be bad at all now!

did have a crash 3 months before though!!

18 yo gurl into cars eh!!!! gimmie a call lol

[Martinaston]

Sounds like it's got the wrong diff on it.
I'd be tempted to go over it with a fine tooth comb, especially as the guy was kken to see the back of it

[billgatese30]

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

if they asked on the weekends it would be ok though

nah, only kidding mate

remember speedos can get quite inacurate when they gett to that sort of speed so the indicated 140 might only be about 125/130

[fuzzy]

i compared my speedo to my gps road angel and found the car was around 10% slower than the speedo reading right through the range,70 was actually 63 etc.insurance never seems to get cheaper,im 35 and im still paying over £900 a year, 2 years ago i was paying £1500 a year for my cossie powered celica

[fuzzy]

another thought on the original post,maybe shes using her boyfriends exagerated(spelling?)measuring technique "if he says thats 7 inches then this must be about half a metre. check your suspension though,maybe someones removed your shocks and its just running on the springs

[jmc330i]

Welcome to the Zone Ceri. Enjoy the car, it looks clean
Just be careful with it - RWD can catch you out if youre not used to it, and the 325is can get a bit tail happy, especially in the wet

Sounds like it's got the wrong diff on it.

Well with the 3.91 LSD, 140mph in 4th will be about 7500-7700rpm
The 3.25 diff from the M3 will have it down to about 6500rpm, but as was said earlier, the acceleration will be pretty poor.

another thought on the original post,maybe shes using her boyfriends exagerated(spelling?)measuring technique "if he says thats 7 inches then this must be about half a metre.

[delphini]

CERI , it'll be ok promise these fellows are just a wee bit curious 'bout your
descrip[tion of your new ride , it sounds pretty impressive , if your still having problems with posting pics try going to photobucket .com its pretty easy from there just upload the pics from your puter and click on the links i.e img , url etc. GOOD LUCK!!

[ad318i]

If ya need help with your pictures, pm me and ill send ya my e-mail and ill post them for ya if ya want.


wanna see this beast of the e30!! im jus jealous really insurance wont let me go above 2.0ltr lol

[DanThe]

the front of the car lifts about half a meter off the floor, is this normal help!!!!!!!!!!

Are you sure you didnt hit a kerb when you got it up to 140 mph?

[Martinaston]

jmc330i I was thinking more along the lines of the diff internals from an E36 316, It would have the wrong number of fins for the speed sensor and would be a lot easier and cheaper to find than an LSD for an E30

[ceri325isport]

thanks for all the info guys i do feel rite at home now the engines coming out some time next week its all getting rebuilt iv been quoted 6000 for the rebuild with a tidy size turbo on it i think thats what im going to do its also getting chrome iv ordered my interiour all leather but im still undecided on cream or the original black what you guys think? there waiting for me 2 get back to them??????

anyone intrested in buying a 1.2 renault clio 2003 plate?????? mint condition and moded??????

[dark_sounds]

6000 for a rebuitl!

welcome btw! damn u are one lucky fool! cant believe im gonna have to admit getting beaten by a girl.

suppose with turbo maybe ok? (i think you should post a topic in engine section of forum about this before you do it,,, to many stories of people ripping people off )

and that is a cracking price for the insurance! im goin on 20 and still paying 1500 under dads name (3G's undermyself!) and its not for a 325... they wouldnt touch me with a barge pole on one of them!

i cant see the car lifting, but yes it will feel it cos its got grunt.


u sure u want to go for the turbo route? 2.7 route alot cheaper ?



btw black leathers all the way.


u sound like the perfect girl, getting rid of the "typical" girly car, and going for a real car... if only all girls appreciated the old skool kool factor.

[fuzzy]

[OllieB]

This is the most ridiculous thread I have ever seen on any forum. 18yr old girl, with a 325i sport as her first car is fair enough, and vaguely believable. The fact that is being rebuilt to the tune of over £6000 with a turbo on it when she has had it like a week is not. I refuse to believe any of this rubbish, also how do you re-leather cloth trim?

It crossed my mind too. Coupled with the comedy grammar....

[ClemQjeronimo]

it does seem a little strange, but i think we should give her the benefit of the doubt. is this a friendly forum or a witch hunt.

Are we all doubting thomas's?

i hope not. let see some pics Ceri then everyones suspicions will be quelled. i am crap on computers and i can stil post up pics and i doent even own a digital camera.

[fuzzy]

indeed,we should believe until we know otherwise ,although i am one of the "doubting thomas's" i was humouring her with the questions of when it will be finished.prove me wrong ceri.

[Conan]

[dark_sounds]

ok its hard to believe... but then again why would ANY 18 year old girl want to lie about this.... that would be rather sad.... infact it could be a 60 year old man who gets thrills pretending hes a teenage girl and was hoping for loads of attention from us randy fellas. which obviously is not the case...

anyway i dont think its too hard to believe, u get all kinds now adays, she obviously has alot of cash, or her parents do i should say, (prove me wrong??)

but anyway not our job to make accusations. lyers will be shown eventually.

good luck with it ceri! keep us posted!

[Martinaston]

I think she's upset that the wheels don't come off the floor

[mrLEE30]

i am also with the BS group, sorry but i dont belive a word, maybe and i do mean maybe with a turbo and some silly tyres could you get the front end to raise by any significant amount , and by that i mean the suspension squatting at the rear and rasing (an inch or so on knackered shocks) at the front, wheels are impossible without drag slicks and an engine in excess of 700-800hp then box, prop, prepared drag strip etc etc etc......

The fact that the car raises already and she (he) thought it was so fast, in fact faster than a 600hp skyline (also a figure i do not belive in real world cars), then why would she (he) spend another 6 grand on a car that can already wheelie.

the fact that she constantly mentions that she is a girl is also extreamly suspisious, do you know any girl who does that or is it more the writings of a male zoner taking the pi55 pretending to be a girl with a turbo charged wheelieing sport cause he (she) knows from past experience any thread started by someone claiming to be a girl will get hundreds of responses.

i fact that i will prove soon enough by starting my own bullsh1t thread claiming to be i fit bird with a problem.

sorry but prove me wrong, and if i am then my hat i shall eat (and have trouble downloading pictures!)

mrlee
sceptic at best

[ceri325isport]

ah ok dick heads thanks for the support you all obviously to sexist to belive i am a girl at 18 years of age yes my father does run 7 companys and this is how i can afford to do my re-build any-1 is welcome to come and visit me and my car at any time i fact id just love all of you to come to see your faces!

as for the seats im having them taking to touch of class which is an apolstrie place which is re-leathering them for me i dont know how they do it thats all i know is they come back all leather.

so what is wrong with a girl being into cars and machanics it runs in my family iv loved cras since i was a child

cant undersatnd the amount of distrust and suspicion on this site though this was the proper bmw e30 lovers site must have got the wrong addy

this seems more like a haters site????????????to me? or thats probaly if your just a girl though!!!
