Do you have a wish list for your e30 next year?

[Cook318IS]

Yeah but i've spent a small fortune on it in the past year or so and i want to buy more photography gear. Plus i dont have alot of time to work on it at the moment becuase of my apprenticeship + coursework

[Kemix]

Cook whenever i see a pic of your e30 you have them plates on, do you edit the pics or actually put them on?

[magpie]

To actually drive the bloody thing!!!

Need to finish the rear suspension rebuild, Fit the cruise and newly painted cam cover. A clean up and she'll be ready!!!

[Dave_M3]

318iS

Build the M42b21
Restore the shell,
Fit all new suspension, bushes etc
Get a 3.91 and rebuild it
Fit all the other little morsels I've been gathering up for it


Touring (should hopeufully have this done over christmas)

Bin the M40
do a mini re-build an M42 I have for it,
rebuild the diff from the iS for it to 40%
Spray the tec 2 apron
some suspension of some sort and replace any bushes that might be needed
Maybe fit a beige Sport leather interior rather than the beige comfort stuff in it.


Drift car

finish the shell
sort the ECU (should have this done for Christmas)
sort suspension, brakes and steering
finish preping and fit the S54 for the last time,
rebuild and fit the M5s diff,
sort the interior bits even if its only the bare essentials
Hopefully get it on track..... highly doubtful this year however


Then maybe find something for the M60 or S38 if it can be fixed




No way, I'll get everything done this year but out of the things I wanted to do to my iS last year which I didn't expect to get done, I got a good share of them done so heres hoping the same will apply this year

[Rav335uk]

You know that S38 has no chance of being fixed.

[Alex]

get the IS stripped

[Bakedbean100]

Get it to pass its first mot with me in january.......wish me luck.....
Refresh the suspension (Bushes etc)
A set of Hartge wheels..

[320iAN]

My Wish List
better brakes (not bigger, just better)
3 very small areas of body work seen to (getting done next Jan.. been quoted £120 to sort them)
an LSD would be nice

maybe picking up some more trophy's at shows would be nice to

[suchy]

Find some enthusiasm to get a LOT of niggly things done that have caused me to SORN my beast out of disheartedness.

Sort out interior... (think this is happening soon )
New suspension bits (shocks, bushes, arb etc.)
Detail front wheels
New brake pads and fluid
Bit of paintwork (front bumper and a door pod)

Drive the bloody thing and start doing meets again!!

[svenga]

Continue the hunt for a solid sport which is not made of rot filler and overspray

Tidy my girl up ready for sale if i lay my hands on the new one

[MARKYMARKY]

After bare metal respray,new wheels and various other small jobs i wanna drive it more!!!!!!!!!
To much f*****g salt on the roads now.Maybe emigrate to California,wouldnt it be great to have roof down nearly every day??

[garymillscab]

try and find a rust free e30 prefeably 2 door and rear disk ready for my m52 swap plus whatever else is needed to get it looking sweet

[SHAKEELE30]

To actually keep an e30 for longer than a year without breaking it or selling it, and actually set it up to my liking!!!

[George]

1)Fix this dent which I came back to.



2) Sort out some slightly rusty rear arches.

3) New starter motor

4) Tempted (as always) by Alpinas

PM on it's way.

[powelly]

New door trims, headlight and kidney grilles, bumper inserts, front and rear screen seals, sunroof seal, wheel refurb, new tyres, washer bottle, bonnet insulation, electric aerial, drivers seat re upholstered (underway), fit new dash (in stock), fit my climate control system (in stock), Mtec springs, front fogs, new centre console, mirrors re-painted (when our painter pulls his finger out), new repeater lights, the list goes on.

[Morat]

Mine is basically sound at the moment, but it is storing up some aggro judging by the MOT advisory sheet!
I'm going to go for:

• New summer tyres
  A decent body shop to sort out some minor rust issues before they grow
  Get the underside cleaned off and protected with either POR-15 or waxoyl
  Keep a very close eye on the clutch
  Fix the rear washer
  Sort the underdash panel out once and for all
  Investigate the fuel gauge and breathers
  Get some new exhaust hangers and strap that bitch down!

[B7]

GEEZA!!!! where you been?

[robbo86]

Get another e30. Get to a meet. Probably gonna get to a meet before I get an e30. I cant afford to run the dirty6 I'm about to acquire and an e30, so that will have to wait for a few years.

[furbster]

ARP Bolts + Baffled Sump - WILL HAPPEN

Vinyl Wrap - Was gonna happen until some C##! decided to pour paint stripper all over my year old road car and stab the tyres!!!
STILL - At least the E30 was parked safely in the garage!!

WTF Shane, who you pissed off?????

Assume you got the S50 engine in now? Have to take me for a spin sometime in it!

[kieran325]

I said it 12mths ago - I need to use it more

Dunno Rob, but they were obviously mighty pissed!!

The conversion is in and has one track day and one dift day under it's belt!!

No problems taking you for a spin, in fact if you can get to Brands on Sat 11th you can come for couple of laps around the track!!

[robbo86]

Actually, I think I saw you getting ready for one of those days a few weeks back. Drove past your gaffe in a job motor and saw you and some other fella with a track looking car outside your place.

Will see about Brands, as ever, funding is a bit on the tight side! Whens your motor coming back then?

[bpowell555]

Reckon I'll chop in my front mint black leather coupe recaros and pony up the 4-500 notes for a full touring spec set.

I have rear suspension waiting to go in, will see how that handles then think about doing the front.

Finally get round to de-soldering my fncking annoying soldered in chip and replace with the mild chip I've got kicking around.

Buy a refurbished AFM and finally redo my injectors

Replace the bonnet lining

Fit a six branch

and

and

and

[furbster]

Next week some time I think, it's in the paint shop as we speak.

I don't really want it anymore now though.... It won't be the same.

I'm gonna fit some security cameras at the weekend just incase but I think I'm gonna sell it when I get it back and get something that doesn't stand out as much.

Anyway we are spamming this thread now!! SORRY PEEPS!!!
