335i Lazur Blue Moredoor - Borbets on all Road Legal P12

[Alex]

I also noticed my exhaust to knock off the bodywork, when i was fitting it i got it into the best position possible, how can i stop this ?

Would exhaust head wrap stop it clanking ?

[leeparkes]

Where abouts is it knocking?

[Rav335uk]

I bet it's knocking where the heatsheild is, that's where it's the tightest.

[Alex]

possibly, indicators now work car is going for an mot tomorrow morning

[Sanchez]

Good luck this time.

[Alex]

i'am determined to get down that strip on monday

[Sanchez]

Hope you dont need a trailer then.

[Alex]

Nah hopefully i will be driving it there

To much chew on for a trailer

[leeparkes]

Any news?

[Alex]

It passed, It should of failed for emmisions but hey ho. has a few advisorys.

its also got some rent in the window too



Need to sort emmisions out next, it also nearly dies when you give it throttle but if you have more than a quarter or a very small amount your ok. I was thinking air leak but i wonder if the emmisions has something to do with it ?

[leeparkes]

Good news.

[Dezzy]

Well done mate

[Sanchez]

Role on Monday, dont break it canning it down the strip.

[Alex]

Ive started cleaning the carpet for when it goes in

i used 1001 carpet cleaner, aerial, and some fabric softner works a treat

Before



During



Forgot an after pic



Got this lot from ecp to keep me busy on sunday

[Alex]

Spend the day finishing bits off, engine bay is complete.

Got loads done today.

Will let the pics do the talking, i'am happy cant wait for york tomorrow

Its pretty nippy has a slight missfire mainly around 2000rpm-4500rpm very small but you can feel it. i'am guessing probably needs a new rotor and dissy

[magpie]

i bet that sits it's arse down tomorrow

[Alex]

Hope so, not convinced it will do the times it should, when you drive it at 70-80 or around 2000rpm-4500rpm it judders as you drive it. Probably fooked dissy and rotor arm i'am guessing ??????

[capri_rob]

looks great Alex - so much better under the bonnet with the proper airbox install.

Nice work

[johnl320]

Has it been on a long drive yet Alex? Only saying this because the ECU might not have fully sorted itself out yet which may explain high emissions? Looks very nice though, do you need a mirror switch?

[Alex]

No got one somewhere

Its done around 150 miles i'am guessing now, did about 40 miles before the MOT on trade plates.

[Dezzy]

It actually looks really nice at a correct ride height on they council wheels.

For a wrongdoor, plastic, wrong Donk, that's cracking mate.

[Alex]

Thanks Dez, its probably going to get the 15" bbs on, which reminds me i dont need a tyre now, i managed to randomly find a decent goodyear 205.55.15 around the side of my house which i still dont understand where it came from

[Duke137]

Credit to you mate.

With the carpet in that inteior will be a nice place to be

[walrus1968]

looks great alex...im so pleased you will be at york tomorrow...i was determined to help get it sorted with a mot and taxed for you mate and im pleased i did. Looks great on those borbits ....cant wait to see it flying down the strip tomorrow mate...im just going to spec tomorrow but im taking my work camera so ill do my best to get some great shots of you and the lads tearing down the strip

well done my young friend....

[MurphyE30]

Had a look around this at York last weekend, I was pretty suprised to see you running Borbet's lol

it's coming together nicely though Alex!

Keep up the good work

[magpie]

Fitted a new rad cap now, bought a brand new rad cap (one with a yellow dot under it ) fitted and all is well, first time it moved today since last week, seemed lumpy and wanting to stall on partial throttle for first few mins :S

Ive come to a conclusion its flat as a fart after 4500rpm

Main thing its been raining all week and carpets have been out and its bone dry, thats always a good thing with e30s.

Ive got a Brand new Blue temp sensor, Rotor arm, Dissy cap and full service kit waiting for it when i get a bit better

[leeparkes]

9j Borbets on the rear would set this off a treat.

[magpie]

and rip the rear arches out

[leeparkes]

Ive heard it aint got the power to make it squat enough to scrape.
