I did my tappets recently easy, just make sure u get top dead centre alright, also my tapping wasnt tappets, was an exhaust leak but one tappet was a little loose so did it anyway

cambelt roughly $350 plus $100 for waterpump?? and $30 if u buy the above one lol

All the best Jock, look forward to meeting you in the future!

Mine did exactly the same thing had me dumbfounded, found a tiny tiny crack of rust behind the sound deading behind the battery tray, underneath where the wipers are attached (round abouts there) and took out carpet and tested it, dribbled in that way nicely, no trail, just dripped onto the carpet,

" pork chop sandwiches! " sorry i couldnt resist.

doesent look half bad if ya ask me, good job!

100mm in an e30 i imagine would be sitting on the ground!?! I think im 40 - 50 maybe 55 - 60 actually I have no idea haha, ill find out sometime, im above legal limit though and I have a nice ride.

very common.. link for faq and fix here (e30zone) mine does it when it feels like it, sometimes it stutters or totally stops, then for a month or two will run perfectly, also on intermitant, I should look at it sometime but doesent bother me as normal speeds work fine.

yea was gud, got some pics for ya, I have heaps but just grabbed a few, was great weather, not too good for pics but great for a drive. haha parkin on those driveways I thought someone would ram into our cars lol

battery has left this world, (one option) my car did VERY weird things once, I got to work, tried to leave and same sort of thing, and the horn did funny things, the lights were weird everything went nuts, so I bought a new battery, voila, good as new. The weirdest thing was that it was starting fine and everything, and then all of a sudden it didnt work.

yes forgot to mention that, my panel beater wanted $50 for removing tail lights lol, so just pull it off round the corner and put it back on once their done,

Is your paint custom or anything? If its just your bootlid get a new bootlid thats the same colour, much cheaper??? I did that on my e30 and it was the right colour and it cost me $50 and was in mint condition, give Ray a buzz, or failing that, I got my bonnet prepped, painted, etc etc for $200 inc GST at a panel beater in Glen Eden, if you hunt around you could get the quote down, but otherwise I think its pretty reasonable, my 2 cents.

welcome and nice car! Hope to see some finished pics soon, looks good already!

im loving this car!!! especially the interior!!! just a question, does the hartge version have a different spec engine?

ive had tickets... all my fault, life goes on,

carefull.. dont stand too close you might get sucked in! haha

scum on the rocker cover looks like hes just spilled some oil or left the oil cap off and its come back out,

when re fitting the dash you probably had your foot on the accelerator for a long time without noticing, ive done it heaps when doing stuff inside the car lol good to hear its going again

Just curious at what cost im looking at for a 2nd hand 325i throttle,

I need the little plastic bit that attaches to the console though to hold it on, thats why I want one out of an e30,
