Time for a bit of long overdue update, progress is chugging along, we (read: me) have been cracking along wanting to get this done asap. - Rear end is finished for now: Koni adjustiables, King spring superlows, Delrin subframe and diff bush, urethane trailing arms, 3.64 LSD, rear sway bar delete, long range fuel tank removal. - Sunroof has been removed, what a f***n nightmare, compared to when Henry removed his our one was in perfect condition, got annoyed and managed to buckle the roof in the process (a replacement shell was mooted but decided to perservere with this one, too much work done already - some bog and a panelbeating hammer should fix the worst. - Engine and auto gearbox removed, engine overhaulled with new sump, thermostat, rocker cover, exhaust and rear main seal gaskets. New water pump, thermostat, cambelt, tensioner, viscious fan delete, dizzy cap and rotor, spark plugs and leads, oil filter, fuel filter. Manual pedal box fitted and clutch lines installed in the car, driveshaft center hanger bearing replaced. Engine and manual gearbox should go in this weekend all going well. - Front end has been stripped, I am awaiting a tie rod and some shock dust boot covers and that will be installed asap. New control arms etc going in also. - Have donated some parts off my current E30 as I figure there isn't alot of point having two identical spec cars in the garage, so once this one is done I will have my green one up for sale, - still a relatively modified state. Parts donated to this car include: AKG motorsport urethane engine mounts, Whiteline 23mm front sway bar, heavy duty rubber gearbox mounts, homemade aluminium cold air box, race exhaust, electric fan set up, motorsport leather gearknob, tech1 wheel, r888's. Have also sourced a set of 15' weaves, installed a aluminium steering coupling and picked up a fibreglass iS lip from Hans (Dutchy) - thankyou so much mate! Here is a few pics of bits and bobs anyway, nothing too exciting, should be more visual progress in the next week or two. Still got plenty of sound deadening left to strip too

^ Got one of these at home http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming/wheels/devices/4172 Great wheel if you want a decent one, havn't tried others, but naturally this one does everything you need it to do and feels very realistic. Also comes with pedal setup although the picture fails to show that.

Don't let the metallic silver painted door hit you on the way out.

I'll take the air and oil filters. Will PM tonight. Ta

Bump. Am also after a factory E30 steering wheel, beige e30 carpet, black rubber boot spoiler, m20 rocker cover

^ Haha was waiting for that, you know how much I love weight saving, I just took it to the nth degree No need to fret brand new belts going on all over the show too.

Cheers for the input. New hoses arrived today, so will just flush it and see what happens, it was only crunchy because it has dried, so in theory if it gets wet again and flushes through all should be good, and the critical cooling parts are being replaced plus hoses so alot can't go wrong, besides if this blows up a m52/m54 will be on the cards anyway so it's not all bad

I mean't 98 octane

^ more like $2.35 one would think

Also a Blue Ferrari Dino in Tawa and then again on Mt Vic in the weekend....gorgeous.

Orange Gallardo stomping down the motorway between Tawa and Jville

Bump. Jon, I'll PM you tonight, have just seen this. Also don't mind a single pipe 320i exhaust either, just a tidy, wofable one would be great.

HB Paul, hope you have a awesome day

Great looking car Ethan. As said, love the color

^ I know that. It's just its a different shape that's all. Will sort it.

^ Cheers Max. I'm thinking it's probably a PFL pedal box, since it was also a PFL gearbox conv. Anyone got a PFL brake light switch lying around? Otherwise I can dremel the circle into a square I guess.

Do auto and manual E30s have different style brake light switches? The auto pedal box I have infront of me has a square cutout in the pedal box and the manual pedal box I have just put in the car has a circle cutout. The car it's going in is a facelift Ta

All good

In my defence they aren't for me. Byron, money will be in tonight. Cheers

I'll take em, if you can drop them at the ChemCouriers depot in Penrose once payment is in. Will PM this arvo. Have just txted also.

WAT UP G Seriously though, welcome

Looks like i've f**ked it anyway, right in the drivers line of sight too so prob WOF fail, time for a replacement.

Anyone had any success with a DIY method, I'd assume a glass shop could fix this, but free is good. Cheers, Nathan

Buy a Bentley, worth its weight in gold. $90NZ shipped to your door, best money you'll spend on your E30, especially if your DIY minded for the future. http://www.amazon.com/BMW-E30-Service-Manu...7141&sr=8-1 And there is only one left.

Gave mine away for a box of steiny pures last weekend, some people are morons.
