When I bought my e36 last year it always cooler than I thought it should. The heater was about as warm as the mother in laws breath. I found that the thermostat had broken as per yours and it had wedged itself open. Was genuine part.

mine was wedged closed... so lame!

hey where bouts can i get these light 'eye-lid' type things?

yeah, I always use the genuine thermostats with out a problem,

I've heard of some after market ones doing this

this was genuine im pretty sure

A big black guy named Ben.

haha post man pat!

hahaha!

carson rims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got some carsons on myn too... black too... silver lip too... 18s too

get them!

lol pulled this out of my car

haha sweet as... i thought i was gonna come up against some pure bma hardouts lol

Hes willing to sell it for $10,000 which is probably cheaper than it would cost you to build what you are after.

na... i wont be paying any1 to do the conversion, all i'll be paying for is parts. i have mates who can do wat ever welding and stuff that needs to be done so that the engine and gear box and wat not will fit (they build cars for a living, they dont hav much bussiness at the moment) and all for the price of a few boxes of beer

put a RB26DETT in

a lil expensive lol.... but good idea haha

hey fellow bimmersportians, just wanna get ur opinion on wat im kinda keen on doing.

ive been thinking about putting a rb20det or 25det into my e30 (i know is like desecrating something sacred and holy) but i love turbos but it would just be too expensive for me to turb my beautiful bma engine ryt now (in the futre maybe... wen i got money to throw around lol)

so please let me know wat u fink? should i or na?

Wow! drop that in an E30!

+1 lol

would look nice in myn

i want!

yea me too... im so vain lol

All good then...hope it wasnt too painful

just stressful lol

just thought id let u knw....

it was the thermostat that was causing it to over heat, it was stuffed, a bit on it had snapped in half

mint as bro... what are the white bits coming down over the lights? they look sick as!

As a band aid maybe. I dont think thats the answer hes looking for...... I would suggest you get the leak checked and repaired, and service the transmission at the same time. The correct oil is G3, I would suggest you use G3 full synthetic.

yup i did that and used that, there wasnt actually a leak, just replaced the radiator and some spilled out wen i did, and by some i mean a lot lol

make sure you guys document it , plenty of images and a small write up for other people to refer to in future.

I am sure others would like to see it too

cheers and good luck

Obviously you need professional help as a self confessed noob... I suggest you seek professional help before this turns disasterous for you

BTW: Your car is overheating... because its getting to friggen hot because of a cooling system problem

ok glenn, how much will it cost for me to just bring it for u to hav a look?

Did you use the bleed valve when filling the coolant etc?

Could have a vapor/air lock in the system.

Had this happen before..

lol sorry, but bleed valve?

am a bit of a n00b

hey all, car over heated a while ago and got a crak in the radiator so i replaced it, but it is still gettin really hot, like the needle in on the gauge climbs really fast and chills in the red.

wats going on? any ideas?

thanx

same thing happend to my mums legnum

What proiducts are talking about?

What type of car? .. Make?... Model?...Year ?

its a 86 e30

is it ok to mix auto trans fluid? coz i knw mixing coolant with different brands of coolant can be risky
