    E30 Goodies

    still have the euro filler and/or the basket weaves?
  2. Make a wanted listing and then put your contact details on it
  3. I have the same box in my car and thats the parts that differed to make it fit for me :S Getrag 240 is Getrag 240 isnt it? doesnt matter if it came from an M20 or an M40? will edit listing if im wrong. its listed as M40 and i doubt anyone would get it for thier M20 anyway because of the other stuff you need to get/modify
  4. so just leave it you reckon? it doesnt leak or anything. yeah i put new seals on the LSD, was going to buy some for the 4.45 but then the LSD came up at the yard so i grabbed it. good save Glen: outer hub flange = hub on the trailing arm? also i couldnt find the attach photo button so i uploaded them to photobucket and did it that way. how do i make them smaller? is that on your end or photobuckets end? thanks
  5. I have a Lada touring.. its awesome to drive. if you get the oppertunity to take one for a spin i definitely recommend it! its not that underpowered really. its quite torquey. yeah it only go's 160 (ive had mine to 100 miles an hour). Was considering dropping the M20 in once it comes out to make room for the M50/52, but its going to take a lot of work... about 10% likely haha. If anyone has a Fiat twin cam lying around though...
  6. Might be the wrong forum but..: Swapping my 4.45 Open diff for a 3.76 (?.. around that anyways) LSD. Ive never touched the diff and axels before so previous owners mechanic or themselves did this. the other picture shows the untouched one Am i going to have to replace this or will it be fine? the car has driven for the last 2 years since ive had it + god knows how long and doesnt seem to act strange.. edit: btw there is a diff leak on both sides, but more so on the side the buggered axle is on but ithink thats coincedence Edit: Please resize your photos to 800 X 600 I'll leave them here till the morning... or they are gone
  7. as per listing http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=259929400
  8. do you have all four bolts in? that would be the most obvious reason. tighten them up as well and see what happens
  9. It probably weighs next to nothing.. its just fiberglass or plastic or something and i cant tell a difference in weight between standard with the little factory spolier and the MT2 that explains it. thanks man
  10. what can i adjust to make the lip pop open? my standard lid opened when you popped it, the MT2 you have to hold it open it wont stay open by itself. i cant seem to see any way to adjust the spring lever things at the back
  11. I have a Lada touring (my thrash car/backup for when im working on the E30) so ive researched them.... the design was the Fiat 124 from the 60s or something, then sold it to Lada, and you can still buy them brand new today in Egypt for the record, if you ever get the opportunity to drive a Lada, take it, you wont be disappointed
  12. sarcasm? if not; the left and right signals are on seperate curcuits on every car. they HAVE to be. what you are probably confusing yourself with is the tails and brakes. on Japs the back the two tails are on the same curcuit and the two/three brake lights are on the same curcuit, while the front is the same. on euros however the left hand side is usually wired together (left headlight and left tail) and the right the same. think BMW (edit: E30) is independent in every corner though im not sure though i havent investigated that (edit: not sure if that helps on your car though)
  13. should point out that you need to connect brake and tails on the connector plug to either the left or the right, not both. i made that mistake. probably the one that the high stop doesnt run off for the brake would be best put it probably doesnt matter
  14. i would think he means the sliding back and fourth only, not the relining or other features
  15. Thanks very much! ill let you know how i get on with that
  16. Temperature gauge is on the middle once the car is up to temp. Rises a bit with spirited driving, but will then go back to normal again. Im not sure if its the TPS or not. My B20 one is a WOT TPS i am told, anyone know ifi can use the one from my 88 South African spec 325i M20?
  17. my G240 used about one and a half bottles (1.5L)...
  18. pretty sure that needs a cert? not 100% sure though
  19. Can anything else be gained at all? like not regarding the TPS? or just this? Thanks for furthering my learning Glens sidekick? i should point out i dont claim to be better or worse than him in anyway, im saying i have experience with E30s. i dont have experience with other BMWs because i dont own them, but i dont know where i said that in my post and you got that idea from anyway. Maybe you could contribute to my thread with your suggestions on the matter? it would be greatly appreciated
  20. Regarding the TPS. Ill rephrase my question: What information can I gain from using a scanner on nn E30 M20B20??? Its really not that hard a question guys! I know its not "nothing" because why does it exist? And before anyone gets on my case about not replying instantly as you for some reason expect, i am off to a funeral and will be home tonight and i wont reply untill then
  21. I am not trying to pick a fight. im new here and it would not be in my best interest to do so. Ive been on forums long enough to have seen people try to pick fights with other people and admin and it gets them no where except off the forum, banned or otherwise. Im a naturally inquisitive person. if someone tells me something wont work etc as Glen did, then i am asking WHY it wont work. i will decide whether or not to go to said people when i know what information i can gain from it! Im not ignoring anyone!
  22. Been offered a few 1000 for mine as well: ETHRTY (E30) but i dont wanna sell it! im sure i could get more than that if i wanted to sell it anyways
