e30ftw

My left rear door is stuck closed for some stupid reason. It was off and put back on. Door is straight. Wont open from inside or outside latch. It's as if kiddy lock is on? But the outside won't open it. Can't pull it. Release latch somewhere inside??

Added compulsory sarcasm font where required.

Need the bottom chrome outside strip along the bottom of the window and rubber window seal that goes with it + associated clips if possible. Mangled the F out of mine taking it off. *edit Should probably add its for the left rear door.

Yeah turns out to be pretty nice. Something different.

Meaning under the front radiator support lol. Shush your mouth

BMW quoted me $71 + price of new valve cover gasjet if wanted, to do a valve adjustment on my m20. Seemed like a pretty decent price IMO.

What was it?

Takes AGES with a lighter cos the bushes don't stay alight. Propane torch FTW. But yeah alot of people do it this way..

I have a front half if you get real desperate. Will fit your rear half as they are all the same.

Did you touch anything other than valve cover and valves?

Same here. That whole front has been crushed upwards. You would think they would have noticed it's not lifting the car by the amount its been bent up.

Haha just created a whole heap of pointless extra work for yourself. Oh well. I just dropped the whole subframe/diff/tral arms as one. Then took it apart when it was out. Makes life waaaay easier. But you need a beefy jack to hold it and drop it. Lifting it back I did the same, assemble it all with the diff and jack it up into place and sorted...

No ? You can remove the trail arm with the axles on them it makes no difference.

I managed to smash one out of a 'donor' trail arm I had with a BFH and pipe on the axle. The broken one that needed to come out in the car was a B*TCH and no matter how may whacks it received from my BFH it ended up going to BMW to have it pulled. I even tryed gear pullers to no sucess. No idea what they used though. But try your luck with a BFH anyways.

Looks alright. Tom hanks and Steven spielberg, should be good. But I can only take so many movies and game remakes of the WW1 WW2 scenarios...

Yeah I had the Blue turbo e30, which was once primered with a 2.7L in it and you traded me the lightweight flywheel for my stock one.

M20's don't have a thermostat on them though, And it's easily bypassed using the stock hoses. It's harder on the m50 because you would have to twist around the big 'T' hose that splits to the throttle body, expansion bottle, firewall etc, you would need to join it to the cooling rail thing on the m50. I don't think you can really do it that way though. It's no biggie anyhow.

Join the hose from the head straight to the throttlebody. You can cut and maneuver the hose (#14) to fit where #15 would go on the throttlebody. Then ditch hose 15.

Pod filter and big bore?

Over 9000? Lol.

Yeah I had that happen a few times to me.

I think he means he was on the way to see APT and APT's e30 and Saw you in your e36.

I was actually just talking to Jase this morning and he said he used Dent magician on his e30 touring. So they must be pretty good.

Looks heaps better now

Welcome to the forum. I can't see pictures either lol.
