cool bikes guys - Heres my fixie. everyone else missing day light saving evening rides?

The po po often do the same here in tauranga - Walkie talkie ahead if you've turned straight to the outside lane. And I'm sure if a bus lane was the very left you wouldn't turn into that.

1.15 to Dannevirke, good braggin rights! I used to have a similar journey to Wanganui every month when I was younger in my first car VL commy haha My steering wheel felt like a jack hammer above 160

Not for me.... it can look good as long as its not yelling "look at me"

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Bang on a few of them. I have replaced the transfer hose that runs from the second tank behind the rear seat through chassis to the filler. It was perished enough to release vapor - As hybrid suggested above. Havent filled it yet - But quietly confident. Funny side though, Just about every time I do something on this car I find tools that aren't mine - screwdriver (third one) and socket extension this time... Winning Thanks again

good suggestion - seats coming out tomorrow arvo, hope to find something! Will let you know

Thanks Dave very helpful - I think this is the way to go. I was suspect on the hose that your talking about from the top tank to filler. Its not damaged or showing signs of leaking however. Going to look at this more... Wonder if its blocked - might explain a few things. Secondly i'll fellow the outlet to from the plastic expansion tank top of the arch as it seems to me that there is a strong smell coming from where in disappears into the runner in the wheel arch... Perhaps a slight leak in there? Its still evaporating I can smell it still... After looking into the way both tanks fill I agree with your filling approach haha Thanks again

Interesting - I get what your saying too. I'll have a look and keep this in mind thanks.

Got the car jacked and fellowed it through to where it joins back to the inlet back up under wheel arch... No leaks or damage. I think its something around this area though... I'm going to look for some diagrams (any links ?) on how its suppose to work before I start pulling off hoses at random... Cheers

Thanks - have looked into this and dont think thats it - Bugger

Filled to first click - this took gauge to right on full - however first click usually only takes it about 1/8th shy of full. I'm suspect on the extra long rang tank that's behind the back seat. Will find the vents and see If their are signs of fuel spilling out. Thanks mate

Hey all - Was hoping for some help. 91 E30 325i za assembled with long range tank - left home yesterday on about 1/2 tank of fuel drove to auckland etc car was fine... Once almost empty I filled to full (As i always do). After 20 mins I could smell "raw" fuel. It was worse when window was open. I pulled over (10.30pm top of kaimais) and popped hood, couldn't smell anything that wasn't normal under there, "nothing raw". Exhaust fumes didn't smell raw. Around fuel cap wasn't leaking or overly strong but could smell fuel slightly. Sniffing around couldnt pin point, rolled the car back - No puddles. Got home, parked the garage sniffed again nothing that was easy to point to but opened the boot and STRONG smell in the there. To late so left it. This morning garage smells and again in boot smells worse. Few quick points, couple fills ago - when the pump shut off gas funneled up and back out the inlet - It kept flowing out and wouldn't stop so I put put the cap on. I felt like the gauge dropped quick in the first 20 mins (not 100% sure however) but stayed steady the rest of the way home. The long inlet hose that runs to the tank was replaced about 6 months ago as it smelled of fuel in garage, hose was weeping slightly. No smells since then. Sorry for all the words - Would be good to get some ideas where to start looking? Off to help a mate re-roof a house - leaving the e30 in isolation But will be having a good look tonight or tomorrow.

Im also curious on this

Sooooooo..... Do these actually work? Coz wouldn't everyone have one?

nice dude! Would make for god coast cruises up my way

tidy example - have the tourings always had there battery under the bonet?

some potential in that 535 with little extra coin and couple late nights

no cracks in the dash - good luck

motivational quote right there! Hear you with the period correct m30 - and your period incorrect choice?

haha yeah that feeling you get when a holden commodore passes you.. coz they can. Then having to watch them brake on every corner... Sigh

Hi Kerry - thanks, how much? Im not sure how they'd match now as i've had the front lip shaved to tidy up the mess that was there

Hey all – I’ve been meaning to introduce myself for ages – great site and thanks to the members that unknowing have helped me out a few times already. Car came about after selling off all my toys to buy a house, afterwards I had a small handful of pennies to buy something to fill a very empty garage – I bought this thinking short term BUT how cool are E30’s! I’m addicted to the chassis, great fun to drive. Admittedly in the back of the head always thinking repower. But from what I’ve read who isn’t. I’ve owned it for about 12 months – The first 6 were a little… rocky The finer points 120k Manual Blistein Suspension Chipped ECU LSD 2.5-inch exhaust (all a little home made by previous owner/s but sounds GOOD) Plenty of "chores" to be done it so I look forward to some discussion in the future - Cheers Dave

Sounds normal to me - my m20 takes about the same amount of time to get a proper spring in her step. So if you've got a problem.... then so do I
