CHAV!

[Green]

Fitted these, and washed the old girl

[skooshy]

well yesterday i washed claybard washed again polished then waxed....

they a hr later it rained

[FinalD]

Made it go from this:





To this:








Removed all the old stereo wiring, replaced with new stuff, clean splicing to the different looms, solder and heatshrink on all of them.
Replaced all of the dash bulbs as they had all blown or didn't connect properly.
Refitted the dash and all of the associated components.
Hoovered the carpet.
Refitted passenger seat.
Sat on the carpet trying to look over the steering wheel, thought about test driving, thought better of it until the drivers seat is in.

I fitted new leather gear and handbrake gaitors. So much nicer than the previous gear one with holes and the utter rubbish concertina plastic thing for the handbrake.

^^^What headunit you rockin?

[FinalD]

It appears to be a Sony CDX-GT300





It came with the car and has AUX in, so I'll do some wiring at some point for my spare iPod, beats using CDs. It seems ok, colours are red though rather than orange which is a shame.

[sunnyr83]

Ahh ok from the picture above it looked a very good match with the dash lights, looked orange.

[FinalD]

Yeah. I need to get some proper pictures of it, didn't fully set the camera up really. It is close and certainly not bad, but it is certainly more red than orange unfortunately.


Some google pics of the colour:

As you can see, it is more red than orange. Seems to be a hard colour to take pictures of though when lit.

[Morat]

I topped up the power steering fluid and took it for a short test drive. The horrible groaning has gone, and the level stayed stable. I hope it doesn't all piss out again in a couple of days. What are the odds?
I definitely need to change the fluid, it's minging.

[alexdejonghe]

....attempted once again to correctly realign the boot to stop the leak into rear boot pockets following the bump up the arse in September, sigh.

[bhaza]

I used it for the school run today!!!

[BHadley]

Compound polish ( its red now not pink) and wet vac carpets and seats, all coming up nice welding on Saturday!

[sailorjerry]

i purchased my baby a new hat and she is loving it but i dont know if she wants a new interior but may sound strange but the e36 vaders are very pretty and would like to hear if you guys agree

[Sanchez]

me too.

[Alex]

I fitted my HID's and a subwoofer today in Minus 2 Weather

Sounds good now Nak 400 head unit with 9 speakers and 2 amps

[tomislav]

Drove mine again, then got served with a section 59 for 'driving in a manner that may cause alarm to other road users'.

The old bill dragged me out of bed at half midnight to give it too me as well. I'd been asleep for an hour!!!

Oh well, guess i'll have to be a good boy for a year

[Gert_8]

^^ so it was you in that video!!?

[tomislav]

What the m5 abroad video or the red and white e30's at the ring video??? Both lol

[FinalD]

Yesterday (rather than today) I fitted a new brake light switch, exhaust down pipe gasket and some wiper blades. Now the brake lights work, I don't have an exhaust leak and my wipers won't scratch the screen.

[German-Whips]

Fixed the sticky and intermittent door lock which would take me an 10 mins of trying oto twist the ket to get the car unlocked most of the time.

A bit of WD40 and it's sweet as a nut now!

[Morat]

WD40 is great for freeing up the lock but doesn't give much protection long term. I tried some bicycle chain lube and that seems to be doing a good job so far. I know I should really strip and lubricate the thing with the proper grease... but for now it'll do.

I know I should really strip and re-build the lock with a kit from the stealer that will cost about £20 and come with the proper grease... but for now it'll do.

EFA!

[clipper]

I loaned mine to the wife to do the school run while her daily, the E39, is in the garage getting its codes read.... (both sodding cam sensors require replacing )

So I get to "enjoy" riding my motorbike to work in the rain/cold/dark and with a huge dose of man-flu.....

[Sanchez]

went about in the snow with no problems.

e30 + winter tyres = winner

[gooner1]

Feck all. The new parts I ordered on Saturday still haven,t arrived.
Not from BMW I hasten to add.

[Alex]

I Crashed my e30 in the snow today

I Crashed my e30 in the snow today

Assuming no injury, get the pics of the damage up.

I've waiting for snow so I can finally test the IX with winter tyres. Shouldn't be long now.

[Alex]

Not me, there's only small traces of snow left here, more forecast tonight though

ive Also got some winter tyres on the touring

[Joe-318i]

went to start it this morning.... cold weathers got the better of the battery
might of been a good thing, with the amount of snow we have had today

[M3Jim]

Today I fitted a new alternator, 450 quid from the dealer for a recon unit! Got one from the nice chaps at C3 for £180.

Safe to say I wont be testing it till the snow is long gone.

Fitted a new clutch and started putting everything back together.
