Never seen that before. Is it strong enough to withstand harsh British roads?

Wed Jan 28, 2015 10:21 am

I presume that is a temp fix, rather than changing the damper and springs for the moment?

Wed Jan 28, 2015 11:31 am

Yes, they are very strong, i've had them on another car for over a year with no issues

but yer, it a temp job until i can afford/find a set of genuine mtech springs

Pretty tired tonight, spent the whole day skiving in the garage.

Fitting a radio is not a small job !! All done now and the sub and amp i got off some dude on here are great.

Checked out the non-existent oil pressure light. Sensor was fine, sadly there was no wire to be found anywhere, must have spent 30mins forensically examining the loom with no luck. So I knocked up a OEM style supply and spliced it onto the Brown/Green from pin 5 of the C101. All good again.

Whilst the clocks were out i fitted a load of this foam, i've used it before and it does cut down some of the noise.

Just got to re-fit the side skirt then it's back on the road for next week.

And finally a star guest appearance this evening from this old turd, which is in the garage of dreams for a quick once over this weekend.

Word of warning
Be careful with them inserts as they are known to brake the springs (especially older ones) due to reduced travel and load increase on spring ends.

Very nice Jim...

Sun Feb 01, 2015 10:08 pm

Thanks Rav, it's not that good close up

Little package from Cotswold arrived yesterday meaning I could finish off this little 3 week tart up.

So...can anyone guess where all these go?

This speedo is over reading I think.

70mph at 2550 rpm....with a 3.64 diff and 205/50/15s fitted....not quite so sure about that. It should be 2800rpm with 195/55/15 fitted

Fitted the side skirt back on and finally a little clean ready for work duties tomorrow

Sun Feb 01, 2015 10:10 pm

2nd one in on top left is for the knee roll? Don't know about the others.

Sun Feb 01, 2015 10:41 pm

Top left is the rear beam exhaust bracket but my tech 1 doesn't have the threaded fixing on the rear beam, does yours or are you going to make something up?

Sun Feb 01, 2015 10:48 pm

Third from top left is the icv strap, next is the carbon contact for the horn and some side skirt fixings. Cant put my finger on the others

Sun Feb 01, 2015 10:54 pm

Top marks !!

The little hose fits by the fuel pump

Loving the progress on your E30s Jim.

These are what I would retro fit on mine if I can get my hands on them, keep it old skool cool. RF had the market on locks with The Punch

Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:25 pm

Yer those subs look awesome mate, the sort of thing i dreamed about 20 years ago but could only afford the budget stuff

I bought these in the end, well pleased with them

For £60, I owe the seller a beer or 2

Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:49 pm

Your budget sub is way better!!!

The Punch's above are only for keeping it retro. Using them might kill them off

Thu Apr 30, 2015 2:57 pm

Sell the granite !! You can't sell one of the 3 tech 1s !!!

Thu Apr 30, 2015 3:06 pm
