[nottingham_fox]

[nottingham_fox]

think the slave cylinder is f***ed, is moody in morning on wanting to select any gear, fluid runs out every couple of days, clutch is slipping, and a funny smell now appearing... will have to order parts tomorrow and get it sorted.. will change master cylinder too just too make sure its all working mint..

[Dr Firefly]

Hey Cam, glad to hear it's on the road and you passed ur test! Well done! You guys around at Series 9 next Saturday? Might pop in for a bit... got some plans over Xmas for the car, will show you what I'm up to. Can't let your car get ahead of mine...

[nottingham_fox]

had a RTC with a cyclist, she was going the wrong way down a one way street on the pavement, holding a torch as her "light" with no front brakes, and the rear brakes not working too well, if at all i was on the edge of a dropped kerb just about to go onto the main road, looking up and down the road, the left was clear, looked right for a gap in the traffic, as soon as i was pulling off, there she was right in front of my car, BANG! knocked her off her bike and broke her leg , police took my details, and are sending her a ticket, damn cyclists,

[maxfield]

You can't even trust women with a bike!

Have the police put you at fault?

[nottingham_fox]

nope.. luckily, oh did i mention she was a foreigner,

[hammoj28]

Bloody cyclists! Every time i drive past one and theres a huge puddle its so tempting to go through the puddle really quick beside them.lol.

Another inexperienced driver blaming someone else?

She had no front brakes, no light, riding on the pavement. Hard to say he was in the wrong.

Must have beena big pavement to fit an e30 down...

[Ian_M]

Cyclists are damn annoying, I hit one the day after I got my E30.

Was pitch black pissing down with rain pulled upto a round about looked to my right nothing coming, pulled out and wham.. Cyclist on my bonnet. Moron had no lights or reflective clothing. Luckily he hit my wheel with his so no damage and it was wet so he just slid across my bonnet.

He was pretty pissed when he got up from the other side of the car but luckily he wasn't hurt.

[nottingham_fox]

[maxfield]

Try Spadge, he's usually got something knocking around.

[nottingham_fox]

safe as man, will pm him in a min..

[nottingham_fox]

found a left hand drive, E30 M10, (not sure what size engine yet) perfect for track day, 150 quid... only catch, it needs uk registering..

[potman]

the neon in the grill looks a little fast and furious to me. the rest of the car i like alot.

how long has it taken so far?

[nottingham_fox]

i bought the car back in about may, since then i have been tinkering to find bits for it, dont worry, the neons not there anymore.. need to get piston rings sorted now.. so getting another engine to swap it for and going to clean up, and prob paint original one and stick it bak in...

[Nelly]

another Tourer being built for the track by the sounds of it (50/50 weight distribution) next on the list is world domination

[nottingham_fox]

picked up the Polish E30 from chez, here is a pic of it on sunday morning,


went out on sunday evening, went to netherfield, J27 and J24, was on way to cossal, coming up to one corner, car locked up and slid into a BIG kerb...


i was lucky the kerb stopped me, on the other side of it was a fence, then a lake..

stripped most of it out to sell the bits on, another E30 lad came in to check on me, told me he knew someone who wanted to buy the rolling shell off me, so i have got it sold, and have a few more bits knocking about,


so untill further notice, im rolling in a chav..

[bmwscorpion]

Sorry to hear about this Mate, the corner is a nightmare....
as long as your ok, just the start of another project..

[nottingham_fox]

you know where i mean then? the recovery bloke said hes picked up one mans car 3 times from that same stretch of road... what takes the pizz is that i picked up the polish one, then later on 'ditched' mine and the best thing about it... my IS splitter survived the only damadge done to mine was bent wishbone, snapped engine mount, bent wing, bent the valance, smashed bumper, dinted a rim, popped tyre, just started to get the crumple zone, got it back to work the next morning, ran straight away after putting booster pack on it..

[bmwscorpion]

Yeah its my route home from work, really easy to get wrong,
BM's are made well if you were in a lesser car it would have been a different story,
Before they put the curb there I saw some interesting recoverys from the lake..
