Probably explains why the tank wouldnt hold the right amount of fuel

 

 

Cool as fuck

wicked

 

ahhhh you found it then

 

mad, kinda cool but uncool as some of they boys say!

 

strange as foook but also cool as fook lol

 

Rich are you into E30 M3's? have you seen the latest Total BMW mag? great article on them and VERY interesting reading about the timing chains. Turns out this 'you MUST change them at 100k' is a load of Bull...

 

Cool!
I can see it coming up on ebay "Drug runner e30 m3"..

 

Porkie

Aye you could say that. I knew about this 100K thing a while back. It was started by a tuning firm in West Sussex (ML) a few years back. But basically throughout the whole of the world. We've only heard of 4 definite snapping instances. Im sure this article will mention the fact its a duplex chain so is stronger.

 

Great article... just swap to the e36 tensioner and it solves all the problems... the articel said they had never heard of a chain snapping at all. E36 uses same chain as well and that has alot more valves and gubbins to contend with.

 

E36 tensioner Ł55 +VAT
Timing chain change at 100K ~Ł2000 parts and labour (and its not even needed!)

 

thats pretty cool, what he doesnt tell u is what he found in it before he took the pix lol.

MB.

 

E30s are the bomb, lovelly cars, would love to own one

 

Awesome! A car with character
