tire

Didn't think things had been that bad lately to be honest?

that car was neat!

Cheers Si PM'd@Apex, sounds good. I might pay a visit to pick a part in Taka today so I'l text you.

+1 on the road works. Were too many on both of the ways to Taupo last weekend.

HB Martyn

HB Alex mate have a good one.

Heh good point. Can't wait to see what my next one is then Cheers guy, not overly keen on an unmint one to be honest as there are loads of wrecked E30s around with sunroofs. I don't really think of this as a project, in fact I believe this needs a lot less work than most e30s on the road But there's always something to do with these. According to the internet the pfl front bolts right on but the rear needs to be cut. I'l confirm once I've done it. ps. We should gather the tourings on bs and go for a... tour. Apex, Cale, Isis, sir e30, brook-e30, mash... t'would be quite a sight.. Cheers

Thanks Ashkan. Unsure on the errr.. poundage. Does this help? -

^Dunno Sam. If someone whos bought some to nz could pipe up with how much it was I could figure out a price from there. To clarify, they have never been used and do not come with the shocks and adjustable strut tops.

The first thing I did was scoot off to Gavin at Euro Italian for a new cambelt, tensioner, and seals as the car needed a new waterpump (which was included with the car purchase). Gavin and co always seem to have everything and their prices are excellent! Then it was off to Glenn at Botany to have it done properly. What I really like about Glenn's place is that when you come to get the car he takes the time off to give you a thorough explanation of what's gone on. Thanks Glenn! Glenn kindly gave the car a check over at the same time and identified a few minor issues that I hadn't spotted - the car had a hesitation and cold starting issue due to a severely worn dizzy cap and worn rotor that had subsequently damaged the coil. Before I could replace these I went off to Taupo for the weekend, luckily the car didn't play up except for one hesitation on the motorway and a hard start in the morning. As a side note I got 7.86 l / 100k on the way back on sh1 without trying on shell 95, so pretty stoked with that. Old dizzy cap: Coil arcing to power terminal (note white stuff): I did the dizzy stuff when I got back, it was pretty easy, but dizzy caps are pricy! Other stuff: I swapped the seat back of the recaros so the one with a worn bolster is on the passenger side - very easy. the Passenger seat rails were also seized so I took the seat out to discover there was a $1 coin stuck in there. Score. I need a new sunroof cover in grey, anyone? The boot - notice how the tail lights are fixed to the body rather than the lid? Bit silly imo. Fog lights removed to replace bulbs. I've had these ground control / eibach coilovers for ages but I'm not sure if its worth putting them in this what with all the welding and cert issues. I think I will get some vogtland springs as I like the way Apex's touring sits. Does anyone want these? Tech1 front dummy fit, I need to get some of them fancy i-torx sockets to remove the bumper: Random photo with my other e30... back into dual E30 ownership I just bought this manual conversion of skidz which, with a bit of luck, will be here before this weekend and fitted by Sunday evening! I've also got my eye on some inexpensive 15" BBS wheels which I hope to have by Friday and should look nice with a tidy up. 15x7et25. My shopping list: - Silver drivers side mirror - mtech 2 rear apron - grey sunroof interior cover - Rear bilsteins / eibachs / other stiff e30 shock (already have fronts) - Grey cloth recaro seat back Thanks for reading.

As you probably know I bought the E30 325i touring that Boyce recently had for sale.... it used to look like this: However when I grabbed it it was without the wheels or suspension. The car is an ex Ray 1990 uk import automatic with 19xxxx miles on the body and a replacement SA engine (m20b25 motronic). Grey cloth recaros, se side skirts, fogs, check control, elec sunroof and front windows, air con, alarm, remote central locking (that actually totally works - a first out of the 4 e30s I've owned), immo, 12 stack cd... I think thats all. The plan (in no particular order) is to lower it again and put some period 15/16/17" wheels on it (preferably 16s), convert it to manual, tidy up the interior, do some maintenance, fit a go faster exhaust, get some alright sounds, tidy up the interior, and fit mtech bits front and rear. Max

Used to have the perfect place

^Wheres that? Coolant leak from the HG?

The first four digits say fart.

G240s are like $200? Should fix it man, wrecking it will be more of a pain than putting a new gearbox in.

Awesome car ssbmw.

Paul, I'l test drive it for you

Sounds like you've spent a fair bit on maintenance lately, why don't you keep it for a bit longer to make the most of it while you know nothings going to go wrong? Altarnatively you can buy dudlee for less than your budget... 318i 4 door manual.

Look at the rust in the sunroof of the e21. Why would they photo that? 318is are pretty slow but I find if you don't try to rush them they are kinda alright around town. They are more fun to drive slow than fast lol.

Or ATS classics?

Sweet, sorted. Thanks all!

Nice I like it. My msn and fb are on different emails - can I run them both on the one chatflow?

Bored after the 3rd go... cod2 is better!

Heaps of mk1s in the 2nd one

Car is a 1990 325i touring automatic. 1. There''s these 2 wires both sides of my engine bay that have been clipped, the part number brings them up as being for a 'pulse generator' - diagram'. What do these pulse generators do / how important are they? I'd never heard of them before. 2. Is the fuel filter mounted somewhere abnormal in facelift 325i auto tourings? Cause I just noticed today that mine doesn't have one in the usual place (see pic). 3. Are the headlight squirters and wipers supposed to operate with the main ones? 4. Whats the go with fitting mt1 fron't and back to facelifts? Cheers
