why not upgrade to front fogs.i have the full kit for sale if needed.it's all plug & play as all your wires are there already.

lol sorry i only had the fisheye on me at the time.
il take some normal pics of it in the daylight and once ive refitted the front lip that came off
how much are you after for the fogs? will i definitely have the wiring there even though its a 316?
il get some interior pics too as the previous owner fitted the 318is interior and i quite like it compared to the stock seats

its got a drilled airbox and a magnex backbox thats it. its got a 4.1 lsd rear axle from an auto so it pulls hard through the gears lol
im after an aftermarket stainless manifold and a k&n filter for the stock airbox and ive got new plugs, leads, oil, filter etc to fit...

yes the fog wires are or will be behind the headlight covers,you just poke them down through the provided hole.gotta love e30's alot of upgrades are plug & play

Mines nearly exactly the same ''drilled airbox,1.6,stainless steel Magnex back box'' but mines white tho.... 
>Whats a 4.1 lsd rear axle???? cuz mines like a slug going up da gears...
well the 4.10 is the ratio of the rear axle, its higher than the stock one so it accelerates quicker but lower top endlllkinglll wrote:

mines lively for a 1.6 ;)
dunno i bought the car like it, the lsd rear axle is from a 325 auto and the engine and box from a 325gareth wrote:that's properly low!
what ratio did it have originally?
did you mean low ratio wise? or ride height wise? lol
yeah its a pain to drive but looks too good as it is lolgareth wrote:i meant ride height being low
a 4.1:1 with a M20B25 must be quite good fun
it melts the tyres pretty easy with the 4.1 rear axle but it runs out of revs way too quick
need to get a manifold and full exhaust sorted for it and sort a few little bits of rust on it
oh and i need to paint the rocker cover as i fancy it black with polished writing and lines and change the blue temp sensor as its idling funny on cold start lol
quick pic of under the bonnet
the car also has 318is interior in mint condition.
have ordered a drivers door sill plastic, fog blank and the oil cooler grille from bmw should be here after the weekend

from seeing some other e30's mine is defo very very low lol
nice to meet you..
i finally got round to sorting a rocker cover for the car, it was bugging me how dirty it was. i managed to get one painted wrinkle black and flatted back the letters and stripes. i also used some brass fixings (domed nuts and washers). it has tidied up the under bonnet no end. i still need to work my way across and paint the inlet and change all the nuts and bolts and washers to stainless etc...
anyway heres a quick pic....

i was talking about the inlet manifold 
the exhaust manifold can be covered nicely with OEM exhaust gaskets, they have a integral heat shield to protect the HT leads - this hide the rusty bits a treat

Alright well let me know when they're off and how much for them mate.danxs wrote:yeah il sell the springs as i want it at a more usable height.
the manifold does look really bad but i cant afford a nice 6 branch at the moment, especially as i need another sump prob...
I'm tidying the appearance of my engine soon and plans are just to get some 1200 wet and dry and see how that goes, Might grab some high temp paint from halfrauds if I want to colour it.
As for your exhaust like gareth suggested you can get a nice heat sheild to cover it, and then it's not just for show either!
