4 hours? n00b! ah...i remember the days i think my record is 15mins getting a small case back in and bolted up
-
^^^^ - yep, and it has no heater (bypassed) its a head gasket...hopefully not cracked head..bugger! fun n games
-
5 1/4? you can fit 6 1/2 if they not too deep
-
facelift? that is rather heavy...130 odd more than mine...would be the seats, rear boot carpet, not too much else? spare tyre....air con? makes sense i suppose!
-
motorsport if possible. however being 15 and on restricted you would prob n00b out. e30 318 or 320? save the change for upkeep and keeping in good nick
-

-
put the iS one in...both rads are in really good nick...dont seem blocked from hosing either
-
is that thing human?
-
well have done the flush and the t stat removal...it still runs hot...not AS hot but 3/4 mark or just past. the visco fan i put in doesnt seem to be working either. when flushing the water ran through fine....didnt seem to have any problems at all. its still hot enough for me to feel the water/coolant boiling in the two main radiator pipes. any more ideas? might have to give up on this one!
-
the water was flowing freely before, maybe not free enough? i will try the t stat first though...ah what a way to spend friday!
-
def sounds like it..how the hell do i find it though? cooling system is def bled well and put radiator in anyway...where do i start looking for blockages?
-
is definately chucking water back did your little trick, water ran through fine, started to get warm and started bubbling out radiator. blocked radiator maybe? gonna chuck my spare one in...im using the auto one now that its manual, shouldnt have any effect? looks in really good nick too which is odd..wil whack my spare one in and see what happens any other ideas!
-
but why? i have built my 325i myself..something that would have cost ridiculous amounts of labour (ie could not have afforded to do it being a student)...and has been perfectly reliable. only issue was the wiring, which i was happy to admit i was out of my depth and paid to have it done. as for 'stooging around in a beamer' i couldnt care less what brand it is, i like the way e30s look, and i wanted it to drive better i can understand you not liking rangi and dangerous fixes, but who gives a sh*t if someone chooses to work on their cars rather than getting reamed by other people for them to do the work?
-
mines pathetic and looks like a half hitler. sister has asked if i was doing movember. one day ill grow up
-
in short, from reading a lotta e30tech (not real experience, yet) a standard motor (FL 8.8:1 compression) with head studs (raceware, ARP) and a MLS seems to be a good recipe for a decent amount of power. and of course, good tuning
-
have just done some work to sisters car...few bits and pieces now its overheating, hardcore have replaced the t stat and the waterpump, along with visco fan, and still no joy. as far as i can ascertain there is no air bubbles...bleed screw on the t stat housing runs coolant out, not air any thoughts, from race series guys? or anyone? current thoughts are a blocked hose somewhere (but why was it not doing before) blocked radiator (have a spare but as before) or worst case, a buggered head gasket. getting irritating.....help!
-
there has been a few targa crashes because of same problem (Brett Porter?) but i think that was more roll cage interference. still...its pretty n00b to mash both pedals at same time! glad you/everyone else is sweet...its only a bimmer
-
jon volk said that his manifold fits RHD..he mentioned it in a thread on e30zone.co.uk i still like the dirty log best...much more compact and it works! come have a beer and masty with andy and i if you want to talk turbo...we do it often
