What did you do to your E30 today?

[FinalD]

Locked it.

It seems to have developed a nasty habit now that the central locking works...it will unlock itself. I *think* it is due to the locks being gummy and needing a rebuild, do need to investigate that as having an unlocked car isn't ideal.

[capnmchl]

Replaced my throttle cable, because the old one snapped on the M5 yesterday

Stupid Weber 'universal' throttle cable attachment, biggest POS ever. May also be because I never bought a manual throttle stop and kept my auto one, making it essentially impossible to set a WOT position

[Rav335uk]

Finally going to remove the carpet from the chromie tomorrow

[milescook]

Tried again to get a secure garage fir its move down to the valleys from my old place near in cambs . Gumtree bringing up loons so far like the person that responded to my request to take a look with 'ok thanks ill have a look!'. The second was aautomated reply telling me i was to pay them a referral fee and gave the guys number.who hasn't bothered to return my voicemail.

So in short bugger all as iTa miles away

[Alex]

Wash and insure it

[kangman]

washed it and now im just waiting for it to rain

[maxfield]

Drove it.

[Sanchez]

put new rear pads on.

[billgatese30]

Yesterday I washed the sport (for the first time in what seems like ages) and today I was going to sort out one or two minor jobs and hoover the interior etc however...rain stops play

[spook]

Finally my new garage is empty of building gear, so i slid the turd in and hoovered the inside.

[TPS]

Changed the oil.

[emmaitch]

Removed the hardtop, delighted to find the electric hood worked fine after 4 months in hiding, and went for a top down tour along the Darenth valley in Kent. Also enjoying the newly fitted MTech 2 that replaced the old 'bus driver' wheel...

[e30nerd]

My weekends work was:
Fitted front discs and pads.
Rear ARB drop links
Fitted new headlight dimmer switch
Replaced side light bulb
Sorted out central locking issue
Washed it

Hopefully ready for MOT on Wednesday

[ross2009]

stone chipped the whole engine bay ready to be painted tomoz replaced battery tray
and dyed my new carpet black a very productive day i think

[Rich320I]

fitted my illuminated gear know and leather gaiter, cleared the elephant trunk which should hopefully get rid of the annoying leak to the passenger foot well.

fixed the washer jet, changed over the instruments so i now have working petrol, temp etc. and then gave it all a good clean out ready for the MOT tomorrow

[Phill172]

I turned mine into a 4 x 4



Stripped it all down to tidy up/paint for the year

[Alex]

had two new tyres fitted to my 15" bbs and spent well over an hour cleaning them before fitting them to the touring.

[jimbom30cab]

Took all the springs off the cab ready to deliver to another zoner tomorrow, fitted new rear springs and found out my sparing compressor is not long enough to compress the front springs enough.

[Rtaylor2208]

Power steering fluid flushed and changed, oil and filter changed, fuel filter changed, coolant added and fired up for the first time in 3 months. Fooker is being a PITA to bleed as usual.

But not bad for just over an hours work. By some miracle it may even be ready for an MOT by Saturday.

[Ajsingh]

Stared at my sport in the unit, thinking.... Shall i tax it?

Mrs said "nah leave it, it will only get spolit by the weather"

I think shes after somthing!

[Morat]

Discovered that Bottletops are faster than BBS over the potholed and cratered excuses for roads that we have round here. Once the winter has beaten the crap out of the pothole patches, the farmers drive huge tractors and 20 ton trailers over the wreckage until you need 65 section tyres to keep your fillings in place.
Plus I don't care if I buckle Bottletops because I've got three sets

[Chris_B86]

Stared at it, put another big box in it with parts in. Can't wait for pay day, she's getting painted, tested, and taxed

[gary]

Put a new fuel tank in it

[jann]

Washed, clay bar'd and polished my i.S. #Gleaming

[manse73]

taxed and ready to spin the wheels

[leeparkes]

Taxed it!

[gooner1]

Rear springs turned up today, finally.
So set about fitting them. Just as well I did.

This is what faced me after removing the wheel. Dickhead PO.



Cable ties are my handiwork, to help remove the spring.

Was sitting like this before spring change.



Now sitting this way.



Possibly need to do the fronts, but hope the rear drops a lot over the next few days.
Suprisingly not a bad ride even with the rear that high.

[capnmchl]

^ Hah

It'll drop a bit, but not enough to make it look alright. You'll need to take out the spring pads at a minimum. Remember the rear arch sits higher on a PFL as well.

Or raise the front.

[matt86]

Fitted sports b;ack leather rear seats to the 2 door and subaru bucket seats to the front

Still looking for sports front seats to match rears

[Rtaylor2208]

Gooner is that what they call rake

[Fastroad]

Charged the battery, hoping on a sunny weekend

:

What would have caused the spring to jump out of its mounting like that, I wonder?

My chromey 320iSE failed an MOT because it had cheap lowering springs fitted by a PO, which had warped, although it still drove OK; I refitted an original set of BMW springs from my first chromey 320i that had been stored in the garage after I had that lowered.
