[Jhonno]

If we were still at school it would be called bullying what you lot do to Rav

He gives as goo.. Well he tries to give as good as he gets, ok, like his M30, he falls a little short, but hey

[Baz666]

Hopefully mine will be started in 2 weeks time, keep us updated Town

[town325i]

Excuse me!

Noah when he built the arc turned his nose up at an M30 engine as he found something mre modern

whiter than white I think not

Ok ok you got me

[town325i]

This is my run around while my touring is getting its treatment



A mk2 golf 1.3 4+e on true coilovers all round and its slammed
Just got to stick my BBS's on it to tart it up a bit

[DanThe]

[Ollie_bwoii]

And yes have you seen how much an mk2 8v GTI is without tax and mot the cheapest ive seen was £450 this came with tax mot for less than that plus ive done 120 miles in this today for the whole ammount of £10

[town325i]

Another update cleaned the engine bay today and fitted the rad and fan while nothing engine wise is in the way. I will upload pics shortly

[capri_rob]

You fixed the idle on the Golf yet ?

[town325i]

You fixed the idle on the Golf yet ?

Yeah thats sorted screwed the idle screw right in so its idleing at a 1000rpm

[town325i]

Right then here is some of my progress with this project

To start with today i cleaned the engine bay you cleaning homo's got to me and i thought i might as well give it a go

Then there is the Clio servo i fitted this the other day but ive got to take it off again to make the spacer up that goes in the master cylinder and ive got to drill the hole so the e30 pin fits in it

Then i started tackling fitting the cooling fan i had to chop the bottom of this off so it would fit in the front of the touring and i didn't have a grinder so i used my old mans stihl cutter

Then i took to chopping up the rad mount on the n/s to get the rad to locate on it cant be arsed messing around in the boon yard for bits like this


And thats it for today i should have the sump back on the engine tommorow and then i can get on with fitting the E36 steering rack

[town325i]

Only had a couple of hours spare this afternoon so ive fitted the E34 oil pick pipe and the sump im glad ive done this now and not when its on the car i did enough swearing with it on the stand

then the sump

Then i pulled the water pump out and to my horror found a plastic impeller type pump that does not look that old but its still going in the bin in favour of a metal impeller one


Thats it for today not got much planned for tomorrow except for taking the fuel tank out of the breaker so i can fit it in my dads new E30 oh the joy's of E30 ownership

[Dezzy]

In by the weekend?

[town325i]

I wish Dezzy i have alot of other stuff to do this week so my car is going to be on hold for a bit i think

[capri_rob]

[stup86]

[stup86]

Cheers Dan

[town325i]

A big thanks to Dan for his work on my engine today he came round and fitted me a new set of seals for my vanos gear and he done these just in time as the old had fallen apart and this would of lost me power and cause all sorts of trouble.

Now for a couple of questions ive put the rocker cover back on with a new genuine gasket, got the nut out i dropped down one of the spark plug tubes put the plugs in and i seem to remember there being a thing to link the coil packs i just have a gap

I was thinking there should be something like the thing that hold the plug wires on? Am i right in thinking this

I hope i havn't lost these bits

[DanThe]

No those things are just to hold the cable clips, only 2

[town325i]

Thank god for that i thought id lost them.

I will have them steering linkages off for you tommorow.

[town325i]

Here's a pic of the engine a bit more back together


Hopefully this will be in the bay in the next couple of weeks all ive got to get now is

Rubber engine mounts
Exhaust down pipes to mate up to the e30 one
Fit the E36 air box
wire the cooling fan and get a twin speed switch
then that should be done i think

Then its time to sort the rear hand brake out rebuild the lot for a bit

[stup86]

Exhaust down pipes to mate up to the e30 one

What will you be using?
