I just want to get the E30 325i Track car finished so my wish list is:

40 hour days
10 day weeks with 5 day weekends

Then PERHAPS I may get it done for the December Track day!

See my www below for pics

cheers

What are you planning to plug it with as I need to do mine. I snapped the wiper arm 6 months ago replacing the blade and still haven't bothered removing the whole lot!

Well if Fuzzy can get away with putting a whole engine in I reckon a small rubber plug is fine!

They have done 137,000 miles and are as good as they get, they are in a car i have.

It looks like Steviec might have a set for sale and he is a lot closer and the correct pattern. Any idea what they are worth

Tomorrow and Sunday:

Black Diamond pads (front only) and see if I can find the brake/clutch fluid leak

iS suspension, rears only as I haven't got spring compressor handy

15in BBS (moving from 14in 195 -> 15in 205)

Front bumper.

Car should be a lot nicer after this weekend.

Longer term I'm working on my homebrew maf conversion and at Chrismas I'll either have a welded diff or cash to by an lsd asap.

Oh, and also at christmas I'll put the engine back on its mounts as it practically fallen off! Had to remove fan cowling...

engine mounts are cheap enough ashley! they cost less than u spend on a student nite out on a bender!!! easy to replace as the engine is so light!

Do you have to get under the car to do them ? I've not looked yet. I'm hoping not.

Suspension

H&R cup kit/Lowering springs (depends on cash!)

2 new front balljoints

Exhaust

New standard Exhaust

Interior

2 door Front Seats

New Rear "cubbyhole" covers

Wheels and Tyres

4 new tyres (currently winging their way from camskills)

BBS cleaned up and possibly refurbed (on the cheap! Ãƒ”šÃ‚£50 a wheel=no!)

Engine

325i TB/Manifold

Zone Chip

LPG kit (if cheap enough)

Exterior

Finish off removal of rear wiper (still hole covered with insulation tape after 8 months )

2 new front wings

Respray (yes ALPINE WHITE!)

Diff

2.97 diff off an ETA (no more 4k rpm at 80mph for me!)

Zone chip will be a bit pointless if you LPG it, since the LPG ECU does it's own fueling.

I know brian, but Ãƒ”šÃ‚£55 is a helluva lot less than Ãƒ”šÃ‚£650ish for an LPG kit, so possibly more likely!.

also having the zone chip there would allow me to have more "pep" when running it on Petrol (if I fancy a blast etc) as the LPG kit I would get will probably be an "older style one"
