QuickSilver

Hey everybody, noticed today that my cambelt seemed slackish (or what I thought was slack), im in the middle of replacing my clutch, and saw that if I wanted to, I could pull the belt right off the main cog at the top, at the moment the engine has no gearbox attached etc etc, I dont know if this would contribute to less or more tension, but could someone please advise how tight it should be?? Also how do I tighten it if I need to, cambelt and tensioner were replaced under a year ago by a mechanic the day I bought it, 87 P/FL 320i e30 Thanks all, Alex. edit: typo

that is awesome

Thanks guys, sorry about the pic, quite cramped under the car and took it in a rush, hose is about 2 mm (quite small) in diameter, sounds like it could be what ollie suggested, am at work at the moment so will have to wait till tomorrow to check, anything else it could be?

Im changing my clutch at the mo, and was removing starter motor and noticed this hose hanging down, it connects (at one end) to something near the dizzy, and appears to be a vacuum hose of some sort, any ideas where it would have come from? pre-facelift e30 320i. (hose sorrounded in blue) Cheers all, Alex. edit: uploaded forgotten pic,.

ah yes, i've done 2 out of your 3 now, pressure plate bolts dont worry me, had to get the downpipe flange bolts gassed off by pitstop, even a single hex socket failed me, im yet to experience a rounded wheel nut, but with my luck, anything is possible!

welcome Bradd, lovn those wheels, would definately hold on to them! When are we swappin it to manual eh?? hahaha

excellent thank you Brent, already have new ones waiting,

So the time has come (as expected) to replace my clutch, but when I put it together last time I rounded some of those stupid allen head bolts on the pressure plate, advice on removng them??? All my topics seem to be about bolts lol. Cheers, Alex.

a lock on this topic maybe?

why do people say stuff like that?!? 5 people died, its tragic no matter what the cirumstances!

congrats! - Well deserved

Mine was stuck thermo, check the in hose to the thermostat, if its boiling and hot, and the out hose is cold, theres ya problem, hope you get it sorted!

A friend of mine recently had an attempted hijacking, this time it was a he though, and he was surrounded by four people, he had to drive over a few feet to get away, 2 smashed windows and a lot of dents from a bat! Wtf is going on in nz at the moment?!

thats horrible, what goes through peoples minds when they do these things?

I got all my UE and passed all 3 levels with a good balance of A's, M's and a few E's, but that was already a year ago, time flies, also with the punctuation, spelling comment, thats not right? Who was teaching your classes? If I spelt poorly it affected my marks, On a totally different note, I think I saw you today international, but now I cant remember where, west auckland same ways, was that you? My 2c.

that is f**king awesome.

that should buff right out

yes, but at 190k's an hour

bright side : you didnt set your whole car on fire, and you didnt get hurt? and plus, you car will now be sorted and better than ever!

guilty also, but not too often and certainly not with both hands lol, i touch txt like jp does

Curiously, I have a 320 p/fl, and if I grabbed meself a p/fl 325 motor, and slapped that in, what computers would you need to change??? and loomwise, is it not mostly the same? just a bigger motor?

For sale, Uncharted : Drakes fortune Assassins Creed. Both great games, both in completely immaculate condition, i've come to the point where im so broke after the christmas break that I have to sell stuff to survive, I wish I didnt have to but oh well, $70 each, have original recepits in both cases for $130 each not long ago, stil same price in the shops I think, and these are in the same condition. Cheers~!

saw a black e36 that could rival even Diablos today anyone on here? Was on some 18's if I recall correctly... plain rims advanti of some sort, half the back wheel was tucked in lol.

These stories are all the better when their written like that sounds like an interesting drive

true, last time I took my missus car for a wof they were so strict about the 100mm rule it was stupid I had to swap all her springs back to standard to get it to pass, surely it must b near impossible for Diablo to get a wof, your car Pboy aint as low as his, lol
