steve

 

looks good mate.hope it grows on you

 

ur right bryan needs to grow on me!

 

i thought for a minute, it was going to be a ford.......silly me

nice looking car fella

 

Had a daytona violet 3.0 coupe few years back, wonderful car but bit on the dear side whenever it needed fixing. Hope its a good en, any history on the vanos??

 

show it a few corners,it will soon have you hooked!

 

not as yet with the vanos, but nowin my look, somthin will go lol, i wasnt i filter sortin first i think, oh brakes oh and...... the list is endless

 

Nice, and practical too.

 

z3/convertible subframe xbrace,bilsteins,eibachs,polly bushes,decent brakes and a 3.62 diff should do the trick.

mine has subframe brace,strut brace,bilstein yellows,eibach springs,polly bush rear trailing arm bushes,ebc discs and yellowstuff pads all round and a davef induction kit on it. still want angel eyes,hid's and a 3.62 diff.

 

Looks nice.

 

Think im going to donate my st220 braks to the course!!!

Hows the Noise bryan!!! from the induction.




but will need some 18s

 

noise is nice! could do with a louder exhaust though. you still got the st then?

 

Matt
Have you lost the plot ? surely this was an april fool wind up.

Thought you wanted an escos not some 4 door 6 pot . whats the mileage on it?

 

ha ha brad, couldent turn it down 4 the price, 75 tho miles though. Tell you wat once u ballsed out the 1st 3 gears there no road left 4 4th. Fookin shifts.

Bryan im worried about the box, how notchy is urs, u fancy meetin up sometime!
Returning the st to standard allthough i still love that moter. Have u decated urs bryan.

 

you drive it like a girl though lol

 

ohh lol

 

sod off blacky.lol just cos i won't flat shift up the drag strip.
the notchiest gear on mine is 1st to 2nd,which is my excuse for not flat shifting.lol
i will be at york raceway on bank holiday monday if you fancy coming up?
or we can meet some other time.up to you.just let us know.

 

read about the braided clutch hose replacement that might sort out your notchy gears?

do you have to put your foot right through the floor to change into 1st/2nd? there is a pedal stop behind the clutch too, removing that as a temporary measure will work ok, but best to get that hose changed if your car doesnt already have it

 

bri i cant make it to york next weekend im busy
wenny is taking the mk3 on the sunday

are you going down to central day??? i will be there on the sat & sunday probably have a go on the 1/4 on the sat before getting on the drink

 

mines allready got the braided clutch hose on mate,makes the pedal miles better. it's just how the gearboxes are,the 5 speed is supposed to be a lot smoother

 

What does that sentence actually mean? Especially this bit "i wasnt i filter sortin first i think"

?

Nice car btw

RW

 

think he means he wants an air filter sorting out mate,and it definately needs a braided clutch hose from what he was saying on the phone.

 

not now ive just blew the fookin diff.

 

e36 m3....the character and styling of a 10 week old cabbage

but good cars underneath for a businessman who wants a quicker car, in my opinion of course, no longer an enthusiasts car though.

diff didn't last long mate

 

bout 4 days lol.

 

probably the hardest 4 days of its life as well, right?!

 

get this it wasent, cos 4 the first 2 i had little pads left, so got them done friday, bedin them in, set off at the lights a little sharp, and BOOOOM

 

bmw reliability at its finest
might be worth finding out if a 328msport diff will fit as they cost pennies compared to a genuine m3 item .
tell you what. i,l save you the hassle of repairing it and give you Ł500 for the car , i need a new drift toy ! lol

give me a call if you have any trouble finding a replacement tho bud , im was talking to someone the other day thats stripping one , just cant remember who it was .

 

bradly goin to post one of the probs in a new post now.

 

jay is stripping his track car i think

 

i know someone who is stripping an evo.pm if your interested and ill call him

 

I will see how mutch they are new. go from there!

Thankk you all

 

As reliable as a Ford then

Steve
