it's like he chose bits from E30/E36/E46 and advertised them all as one car.

crossed my mind lol

pretty picture, hes missing two cylinders though, what a shame

yeah I thought it could be steering straight off! interesting to hear about the huge difference after changing the UJ though! but only happens when braking which pretty much lead me straight to warped rotors, just want to double check with other people, and get other suggestions like you've given cheers!

as title says my steering wheel wobbles at higher speeds usually when braking gently, this would be warped discs/rotors as far as i know?? any other possible problem?

"check brake lining" fault is on aswell if that helps, although im sure this is brake shoes/pads haha i may aswell mention it juuust incase its helps

Cheers

Hows the project coming along mate? anymore pics or updates for us all?

he WAS going to be running Vanos last time i read it all, but that has changed afew times through out the thread lol

silly question but are you sure your un doing it? lol i did it on my M20, went the wrong way,knew it was a backwards thread, just didnt think at all! started doing it right and it came undone easy

i'd have to agree with whats been said basicly and im 19 on Monday so im not someone whos had afew years to go over their mistakes,

IMO if you want a gap year do it, don't let anyone force you into something your not sure off, study or job wise, spent all this year in an apprenticeship I didn't like in the end, and it cost me money to leave due to a wonderful piece of paper with "contract" written all over it LOL, and it will no doubt look as if I dont finish things on my CV unfortunetly, but I didnt like it at all, im young enough to try again, i got some experience in the workfore, found out more of what i didnt want to get into, so i got something out of it really,

So I am going into ICT/electical or something similar, still unsure which sucks, as its one of the few things I did well at in school, just so i can get a Qualification and work somewhere I will partcially enjoy, i think its normal for most not to know what you want to do, as shown by many replies here!, so you may aswell do something you enjoy a little and get qualified while you try to find what your after

7th form FTW , it was awesome, i'd do it again in a heart beat! like many have said its different from 6th form

What Simon said!! so jelous/ impressed

Bahaha 750cc injectors on an RB20.

Good grass down there in Canterbury?

yeah its always good down here mate haha

imagine the power...and the torque...you'd need strong seat mounts haha awesome

what curb claimed that wheel!? haha

So my 86 325i is actually progressing toward a standard of being able to go for its re registration test soon (money pending haha damn christmas), so just after a heads up , whats commonly picked on or required??

it has the "easier" of the two test apparently because its been registered in NZ previously before a certain year so somethings may differ compared to a full blowen compliance test but you never know i suppose every inspector is different

Cheers

ohh Exams you say, I didnt do mine last year(Y13) already think I should have tried for level 3, concentrate on them...worth it in the long run bro, wise words of Bimmersport coming out today

Dooooooooooo it

wow sounds good! thats a healthy increase!

sounds mint, bet your stoked

Theres some amazing offers on the table here, as said above! take them up!, you get your car going, and worst case you have a few 'IOU's' to repay maybe, projects piss most people off, its the nature of them. It WILL be worth it when it's all going and legal and you can drive it.

just another opinion

rear springs are easy as said above afew times, just DIY, you and a mate should be able to look at it and figure it out easy. if you can change a wheel you can change a rear spring in a E30 pretty much haha

sort of on topic also and may be of use to OP

For any CHCH guys wanting spring compressors i have some, people are more than welcome to use, just basic attach a ratchet and crank them sort, better than buying some if your never gonna use them again, also have some drive on "servicing ramps" if they're wanted, jack and axel stands aswell too depending if theyre in use or not lol

4EFTE it then

fuel pump? u have fuel but is it getting anywhere? my E36 320i was the same, wouldnt start, battery was fine, plugs were new, no alarm

pull your back seat up and kick the drivers side of it from on top while someones cranking it lol see if you get any action, its what the auto sparky did to mine...rough as guts haha

otherwise im sure someone else could give much better advise

Car looks awesome, real clean!

is that next too St Michaels school and church by any chance?

OP updated
