you need more BMWs in your life Dave

isnt braking just acceleration in the other direction untill forces become equal (ie stationairy), just like accelerating forward until forces are equal

Jeff Gray for the badges. Door handles, i used a set of minty ones and had them routered using a file Josh made for me. it is embedded into the metal.

is your fuse box cover clipped on correctly? i brought one new and the tab isnt around enough to hold it on. could force it round but i dont think the plastic is overly strong.

i read above and realised i have forgot some other stuff along the way Also imported and fitted E30 M3 seat badges, The cabbys have the exact same seats front and rear to the E30 M3, so a lot of interior stuff is supposedly cross compatible And then after I did that, i recalled an idea i had seen years back on R3v that i decided to try. Have been on the car for a long time now but have kept it quiet, want to keep something special for me to know haha, but the novelty isnt as fresh now so happy to share. I apologise for all the pictures so far in the thread being taken from an iPhone 4S. Should have a 6S by the time i update this next so hopefully next batch of pictures will be much better!!

Little update! Took car for a WOF a few weeks back, flew through as usual however they said the power steering system is a bit weepy, so what better excuse to give that bit of a freshen up. New fluids, copper washers and a new reservoir (they actually have a filter built in most people aren't aware of). Steering seems to be smoother, but doesn't seem to be boosted quite so much, or maybe i am interpreting it wrong and its just the wheel is easier to turn, i guess its doing its job! I think i have said it above, but the brake lights have been a bit intermittent. Replaced the switch last time around and that solved it but problem came back. Got in there to have a look see and it appears to have somewhat come out of its housing. Its an aftermarket switch not genuine BMW, so the collar doesn't lock quite as good as it should. Put some tape around that to space the colour and make it a bit bigger, seems to be snug in there now, so lets see if that falls out again! kinda good with the E30s, even though a 25 year old car now, telling you when they don't work through its self check is pretty neat. Also replaced indicator switch as last weekend it all of a sudden decided it no longer wanted to turn left. have sourced another obi type one, but its quite worn. Tempted to stump up the $200 odd and buy a brand new stalk and switch from the dealer, the price is absolutely criminal but what other option is there! If anyone has one that doesn't have the symbols showing any wear let me know!! And then this afternoon I replaced the stereo in the car. the $60 Sony i temporarily put in there when the original BMW NZ Sony stereo packed up was a good unit but very unsightly in the E30 dash. Picked up a pair of Clarion head units about 6 months ago, brand new old stock from about year 2008. I suspect they are specifically designed for old cars as they take a new approach to classic design, look correct with chunky square buttons The one i have fitted is a Clarion DXZ386USB. Does Blue tooth, hands free, USB inputs, AUX input front and rear and RCA in too. also separate Amp and Aerial wiring. Really can't ask for anything more in a stereo. Then i fitted it and found you can customise the screen as well as shown below! Aerial is wired in via the switch above it to override the aerial being deployed if needed (as detailed earlier in this thread), so its either automatic or retracted permanently

oh remind me to keep my young man away from her, she would be his cup of tea

or full tit paddock bashing on Rons farm it seems

yes wel $20 of diesel for you would get you about 30m up the road lol

definitely sounds like poor installation and/or incorrect parts as Kelvin said. No production car on earth no matter how bad requires a suspension overhaul every 10,000km

so how is a second defined? is it some atomic thing?

Lol got enough cars this week to be honest that one ticks very few boxes for me anyways

Buy Johns (E30ftw) /thread

whom were the owners at the time.

^^^^ this Quite common in E34 and E39 models

i have a medium case rear cover if needed still

colour on point !!

Have messaged PJ he has one you might be keen on, i imagine he will be along soon.

Pretty much, Need to update that thread again soon.

dont think its just a stance thing. if anything its a post stance thing, all the nice ones were trashed during that time so there is not many genuine mostly untouched ones left. mainly why i have kept all the parts off my cabby that I have swapped so its still a matching numbers car should i ever need to sell it. I would price mine at $15k if i had to sell, at the moment it is $20k for anyone interested.

i remember my first beer

more than half in that little preview were UK shows. I too cant be bothered with Chip Foose. hes had a great career, built some nice cars, not a bad show, and knows his stuff. But still the kind of guy i would dislike within minutes of meeting i am sure.

turner motorsport do some good package options

ill see what they say. the crowd isnt the cheapest in the world, but not too bad.
