Welcome back mate. Glad u got another e30. Im sure you will find an engine for a decent price. Cant wait to see your e30. there was a yellow one on here a while ago with black wheels etc and it looked sweet.

Ok, im obviously not normal cos i understood all of that except for the "wit 's on" .lol.

That actually looks kinda cool. Not keen on the wheels though. Would look cool with some pinas or some kinda black alloys on it. Oooh, maybe Ac sshnitzer ones in black similar to the compact in total bmw mag.

Toby, with my highly trained and experienced mechanic's eye (meccano grade1, failed). I can spot that you've got a pipe in the middle of your engine with nothing attached to it. I think this may be the cause! of...something.

What is it? :)
