Got a tidy, well looked after, refreshed up E30 with quite a lot done to it you might be interested in.

PM for details

Went for a drive around Mission Bay etc., popped the car to a stop at the lights down to 2nd in auto and the car was running way too clean getting s**tloads of burbling

Changed fogs bulbs, and a burnt fogs fuse.

Our boss' M5, just casual down the office basement

Finally got some time to replace the driver's inner door handle and the passenger side mirror this arvo...

The old broken handle had been fixed by someone with blutack

Got quote for making my car rust free...$4000 after gst

Guttttts

Front lip? + details of the lowering springs and shocks thanks

I need space in the garage so it needs to go ASAP, bump... $100

i used to in my 320i auto, 450 was pushing it. can get 500-550 in the 316i, have got 600 on a trip to one tank to see John (bellicose)

The most I've done was 385 on my 320i auto, though wasn't getting it as low as the picture above... Will try and check the grounding etc.

I dont really trust the fuel gauge in any car though, been in too many run out of fuel situations. i fill the E30 at 400km, the E34 at 4-500miles depending if town driving or roadtrip, and the econovan at 300km. some cars when full it points 10 degrees further round when it is full so when its empty it still looks like its got more.

Anyways thats all off topic. dodgy gauges is sometimes a result of loose grounding nuts which are also the mounting nuts on the back of the cluster. id check those are tight enough for a start.

Yeah I've been in too many of those too, would be lucky if I can get 400km out of the E30

lots of E30s have dodgy fuel gauges, even the ones that work arent accurate most of the time.

but yet to see a warning light fail.

I'm not really sure if the light fails or I still have quite a bit left to run until the light comes on... the mind boggles!

I'm not sure if this is faulty but seeing that this post is related, this is what I have right now...

Was risky driving around like this tonight, so not really sure if my refill light doesn't work or there's an inaccurate gauge playing here...

Boring words-no-pictures update.

Parts from Jon arrived this week... only had time to put in the fogs relay. The lights have been playing up lately I've no idea why but probably a problem with the wiring or something... :|

Looking to re-freshen up the side mirrors with flat black or colour match it alpinewhite...

I'm actually looking for one also

Bump! Everyone probably thinks its insane to pay $200 for crud seats... So priced dropped to $150.

For anyone who needs a hand

Heyyy that car's in Malaysia

Would look mean on the E30... If only ;(

lol i have a 2002 Turbo im quite proud of. S14 turbo swapped. and a calypso E34 V12 lol. Forza 4 though

It's not too bad considering I put it through its paces and did 7:27 on the Nordschleife lol

Probably going to get banned from the forum for doing this, but spotted this today...

... on Gran Turismo 5

Bump! Make me an offer!

Just another random update for future references sake...

- Will be sourcing some parts from fellow member JKSE i.e. the driver's door handle, the K8 relay and the passenger side mirror hopefully the logistics of that will be sorted by the end of the week hopefully...

- Going to check the dizzy cap and possibly replacing the whole thing plus the cables to get started on the internals, as far as I've checked when I first bought the car the sparks are okay...

Having busy weekends so hardly having proper time to show some love with the car

Over the weekend managed to get my hands on L0WBMW's old interiors and swapped them in as well. Love the new interior, freshens up the car.

Hi everyone,

I've swapped out my old E30 interiors into a much more fresher one off a mate (L0WBMW) over the weekend so my old ones will be of no use...

All the doorcards (rear and front) were removed very carefully, are clean and undamaged. So are the rear seats. The front two seats however has seen better days, rips where the bum hits as shown on the photo.

Fabric-wise the front seats are saveable if they're re-upholstered, mechanically everything works just like a seat.

I'm thinking of giving this away for $200, the whole lot, but make me an offer if you want.

Cheers.

Real last minute thing. A chance to go down another road came up that I'm dead keen on. Plus wouldn't want to sell the car without a lip lol.

What road? Tell me more about it lol

sounds normal to me...

you might have forgotten how poor the brakes are after not driving it for a while

give it another bleed, i do rears 1st jacked up, then fronts jacked up

It didn't feel right when I first drove the e30... Lol compared to both my world-beater Toyotas.

Though I think the rotors need replacing though, cos the discs grind when I drive. Probs.
