Teeside park meet went with a bang (sorry Lee)

[RM2186]

Hi Lee,

Yes, we are around on Sunday. I have a bloke coming to Teesside around lunchtime to look at my bus which is for sale, but otherwise no probs. I'll PM you my mobile number and we can take it from there.

I've also just bought another 318i Touring in Silver again ( a runner with MOT) so should have that one here too.

You know Lee, whilst you are thinking about putting the engine in a chromie, it would be rude not to upgrade to an S50

[Dezzy]

I feel an SOS phone call come lee. If you do ask him about the differences between chromie and facelift pm his reply this way my good chap

[E30BeemerLad]

Naah, heavy old anchors

I'd need an iX to keep it on the road

My heart is set on that chromie but the practicality of the touring cannot be ignored. On the morning I went to the drag strip at York I had to do a run to the local tip and the car was all loaded up. 2 hours later I was on the start line to do some 1/4 mile passes.

Now that's what I call a practical performance car

Weight difference is negligable, you'd be better off having the S50 and wearing thinner socks

[Dezzy]

Good job you have already got rid of everything at the tip then mate

[E30BeemerLad]

There's another tip run due, the garage is overflowing with crap, need to clear it out so I can strip the touring.

I really hope this chromie is the rea deal

[bss325i]

Hope it works out to be a good one Lee.

What would you do to it?

Rat like you were going to with the touring or OEM+?

[E30BeemerLad]

would stay purely standard in the looks dept apart from a 40mm drop & my 15" cup alloys

[bss325i]

Good call!

Dan's issue may well have been the engine loom being the early type (It's an 85 C?). An E reg Chromer will have a later type C101.
It will have an external fuel pump btween the tank and the N/S inner sill so you'll need to either use the external pump or lengthen the wires to reach the in tank pump.

If it's a 316 carb, it won't have a pump at all but the wiring is there for it, just not threaded through. The loom goes through the boot floor and between the tank and rear seat pan requiring the tank to be dropped to get it out. I think its the same mini-loom that also has the diff speed sensor cable.

Chrome is the way to go though, 101%

It's a 318i I believe, if that makes any odds?

[bss325i]

Having fuel injection will make things a little easier.

[Dezzy]

Took the baby shopping this morning Lee and on way out thought some daylight pics may help with insurance ect. 6 days on and no change for the crash site













PM'd you them too mate

[Alex]

few new plants and it will be sorted

Hope the chromie turns out to be in good enough nick for you lee

[E30BeemerLad]

Off for a look at the chromie tomorrow, unless it is a rotten turd it's mine as the price is embarassing

[magpie]

if it's too far gone for your plans,which i hope it's not.
any chance of the details

[E30BeemerLad]

Dezzy is first in the queue I'm afraid Mick, he's got Obsessive Chrome Disorder

[Dezzy]

Ha ha if you knew what Lee will be in for, it's going to have to be not worth having before anyone else gets a look in. Not holding my breath.

[Speedtouch]

I'd be surprised if McD's give you any agg; after all, it says Drive Thru but isn't specific on the approach angle...

Absolute Class comment. But it did say "Drive THRU", not "Drive INTO"...

fair enough,

[Alex]

dont offer magpie it, the whole car will be in boxes within 48 hrs

[Dezzy]

Don't worry Alex it's going to be on a drive in York getting the guts ripped out of it before too much longer. I reckon. Unless of course it's only fit for boxes. Then the polished metal may well attract a magpie. I defos need the back bumper though.

[e30bmlover]

thanks for the link lee... shit you were lucky!! glad you are ok... the chromie looks the part.. now all you need to do is start the surgery... the m52 will do the chromie justice.

[E30BeemerLad]

Just realised I'd missed the anniversary of killing the touring

RIP

[Alex]

Feck me that was a year ago

[Dezzy]

Doesn't seem that long ago mate. RIP red touring.

Oh and we have gained loads of work from Hartburn garage since they recovered your touring. Silver cloud eh
