Well just got home today and went to collect the car from my mates garage and there was no clutch had to spend more money getting a pick up truck to take it home, So back into Checkpoint again to get repaired tomorrow

[MadE30mike]

Clutch slave cylinder, 4.95 fae dingbro n fit it yer self, easy job, if thats the problem!

[X3MCP]

Cheers Mike yeah thats what was wrong with it, I took it into Bavaria in Aberdeen and was only in there for 3 hours, It certainly feels a lot better than it was

[X3MCP]

Haven't been on for a while so thought I would update on the progress, the Sport has been in and out of the garage for the past few months preparing for MOT which fortunately has passed, I've now decided to start chroming the engine and found a guy on ebay that does this quite reasonably priced. this has became an expensive hobby for me now

[marley_uk1]

[X3MCP]

Sorry m8 everythings gone just never had the room to keep all the stuff

No progress to the car just yet been saving the cash, just had it into Bavaria yesterday there was a burning smell coming from it, but embarrisingly it was a plastic bag up the exhaust pipe someone playing a prank

Off Topic

Nah no jobs at the moment the rig just got bought over so there will probably be some job losses, are you interested in offshore now??

Ahhh, if he said the kidney grills i wouldve known what he meant.

Yeah, they look good depending the colour, i'm not keen on the angels on e30's either tbh

each to their own though

Emailed Performance Bmw Magazine few months back enquiring about a feature but wasn't eligible for a full photoshoot just on ther basis that i hadn't done some serious mods but said they would reccomend it for readers section just bought the mag yesterday not realising that they had put it in and gave me Car of the Month i'm more than satisfied with that

[MarkP]

Any up to date pics and any future mods in the pipeline?

[X3MCP]

Few things still to be done including engine rebuild and full respray thats probably going to be it finished after that. won't be doing this at the moment trying to save money, have spent too much on this car, will get some more pics up soon

Wheels sold few months back but if your interested in Alpina style wheels i might know of someone who is selling but need refurbed he was asking for £100 which is cheap, will give him a phone when i get home see if he still has them.

[scurran83]

cheers mate. try get a few pics up if possible? contemplating new wheels.

[gare30]

Major problems with the sport recently and now gradually starting to think is it worth it, thats twice now within the last few months that the head has had to be removed as the Rocker Valves keep popping and each time costing £800 - £900 should get it back next Thursday though with all new genuine BMW parts so hopefully be ok after that, and i'm possibly contemplating selling for something newer, as much as i don't want to, it puts a lump in your throat after knowing that all the money you spend it can still fail on you.

[whipsey]

if you sell you know your coming back again

[gra325i]

dale..thats exactly how im feeling at the moment with mine..keep telling myself its just a phase its going through
