Link to the video racing a mates 225 quattro tt up the strip. Considering my engine was only around 190bhp out of the factory and is now 20years old, I think i did quite well to keep up

Right, I'm looking to renew my interior as my seats are quite tatty...
I'm after a pettern like this :
http://www.google.co.uk/m/search?site=i ... seats#i=50
My question is, can I buy seats like this or can I buy the replacement covers and do it myself?
Any help appreciated

Your link displays a tiny photo of a ghastly orange E30, no seats. But looking at the search results there are some photo's of E30 sports seats in both leather and cloth.
The cloth ones appear to be the checked pattern often found in 318is's so you may well find a set for sale somewhere. Leather ones also come up for sale but for slightly more, obviously.

i have dark and light grey check cloth, which could be useful for a retrim, available Laurence:Laurence wrote:Right, I'm looking to renew my interior as my seats are quite tatty...

looking good, nice work
Looking good. 
Got to ask tho, is it really Calypso coz it just doesn't look right in the pics. I'd have said it was Wine Red, which is still a nice colour.

She's looking sweet fella



They don't make bm's like this anymore!..They should.


Right well it passed it's mot saturday and one of the advisories was both ball joints worn. Now I want to replace them and done a little reading and found it's probably more cost effective to replace the lower arms. Is there any good modifications I can do for example updated bushes that's worth doing? Or a specific model of lower arm?
I don't think you can replace just the ball joints... you will need to replace the whole wishbone. Get some Lemforder wishbones from ECP or the like.
You will also need new wishbone rear bushes (lollipop bushes). Polyurethane bushes are much easier to fit than standard ones, which will need to be pressed in. Some people opt for 'eccentric' wishbone bushes to increase castor and sharpen up turn-in. But to be honest I've no idea if you'd notice any benefit/difference on an otherwise standard E30.
Make sure you have an alignment done once you've completed the work, too
