e34 not worth much front end damage and interior crap engine done bout 150k but had top end rebuild bout 15k ago after bending a valve but has just sat for past 2-3 years, engine and diff etc bound to be worth summit surely, suppose could do that.

good thinkin

[wullie325i]

maybe try sticking the whole thing on ebay to save hassle stripping it you never know what you might get.

[nickso]

can you keep your eyes peeled for a maf from either a 3 or 5 series from 1992 to 1994 (non vanos) 2.5 as mine is ****** and theres none round my way. it will have 6 pins in the connection as the newer ones only have 4.

wullie

wullie, there were 2 m50's sitting in my local scrappy last week, ill have a look tomorrow for you. they break their cars fast so they might be gone if the poles havent had the maf already. as long as its six pin ill take it yeh?

hi

yeah man 6 pin for a 2.5 and i will square you up.

this will be the third one i have had to use now as it just seems to eat them. i think its because i have an induction kit on it and it dosent seem to like it and breaks te wire inside them but im not going back to standard as i like the sound too much lol.

thanks

I'm hundreds of miles away from the nearest zoner but I'll try help if I can !!!

[nickso]

ok, you want both of them? lol, sounds like you will need them.

[shedrool83]

Think this is a good idea as it will give some people the hands on experience and the confidence to tackle things they haven't done before after seeing how to sort some of the problems related to the e30

I'd be up for leading a hand when needed.Don't have much experience but a quick learner.

I have a few thing to do to get the car ready for the feb meet and was thinking of booking it into a garage as i didn't want to make a **** of it.

I need to change the master and slave clutch cylinders and the viscous coupling(spent 2 hours on it at the weekend with no luck)

Also planning on putting a 2.5 in the cab when the garage is built at my mums.(about May)

JBH i'm going to remove that tank on saturday weather permitting might also be able to drop it of on sunday if all go's well.I'll pm you sometime saturday.

bleeding them is easy aswell just get a bit of clear tube and a bottle but get someone to pump the pedal for you though.

[shedrool83]

Got them ordered and hopefully they will be here by the weekend so i can have ago on saturday.

Hey guys just noticed this thread!!

Sounds good, I'm up for helping Gary, Grant and anyone else who needs a hand. I'm pretty good with mechanics too, done my own head gasket along with everything else on the car. So I'm more than willing to get my hands dirty and give Grant a hand with his M20 swap since i have one myself, and gary if required too mate. Also I think it would be good to get to know more Zoners up here!!

Mine is needing sills both sides and probably rear arches, but it hides well at tho mo!!

[jbh]

truly stunning mate its the same colour as the one ive just got im planning on putting mine diamondswartzmet the same as my old one. only thing i would change on yours is the tec2 spoiler back to a tec1 but that's just my personal opinion

James

I was the same as it was like this when i bought it, but i dont know if i like the Lachs silver with the Tech1 spoiler see...
