Hello mate, its a small world, fancy meeting you here!

Still not working mate

 

lol you wouldent expect that under the bonnet

 

nope not workin but like chip really GET THAT 3 DOOR SORTED U LAZY TWAT


cheers jay

 

Im still hope to have it ready for wednesday Jay. although current sticking point is needing the stabiliser mounting bracket that bolts onto the turbo as mine is damaged, might be able to liberate one from the old T3 i have lieing around, but its pretty corroded so it depends on how well i can clean it up as i dont want to fit one only to have to change it as its a turbo off job to do.

Looks great mate, sure to catch people unaware with that one!

 

proper sleeper that

 

was this at ace cafe once i defo sore one just like it

 

hi mate, no ive never been to ace cafe , the car was only finished 8 weeks ago. the problems at the moment are the prop centre bearing and the valve stem oil seals causing it to smoke a bit.the engine was rebuilt 2 years ago but sat in my garage for 18 months causing them to perish. itll be sorted after new year as i have had an invite from Performance Bmw to bring the car down to a track in leceister so it can be timed and tested against other bmw's.there cant have been many cossies in a bmw mag before

 

nice q car! but with regards to the stem seals... i doubt that they would have perished in only 18 months i have just put an escort cos back on the road that's been stored badly (damp garage) and unused for the last 7 years and they were fine on that.

 

hi mate , what other suggestions do you have for the smoke?its definately oil(blue) . the piston rings where done at the same time and the t34 was only bought and fitted 6 weeks ago, and i had them take the turbo off again to double check the seals on that?

 

Lovin That,

Looks Nice,Im sure it will suprise a few people.

 

difficult to tell without taking a look, you have not fitted a brand new stainless exhaust lately have you? i fitted a new system to an esc cos years ago and the thing started to smoke straight away, turned out the system had oil coating the pipe work internally.

 

Quality Sleeper material there!

Rich

 

just had a new exhaust done 2 weeks ago actually. but its when i coast in gear then put the foot down i get a puff, or if i turn it off for a few minutes it gives a puff when i fire it up again. im going to take it to a different garage to get a different opinion from the ones that built it. is there specific tests that will determine exactly what the problem is?

 

Like that alot................

 

My sort of toy

Steve.

 

 

love it

 

sounds a normal cossie to me lol but it could be blow by the turbo but it just like over run mate

cheers jay

 

fuzzy
That is cool as Łuck M8 A great combo there.

That E30 sport that Daviet has used to belong to my brother and i was toying with the idea of buying it and doing that to it. Decided to go for an other cossie instead though.

Did you come upon any major hic ups doing it?

On the smoking side of things it sounds like either the turbo or the rings M8

 

thanks mate, there was quite a few problems getting it to fit, a new sump had to be made to clear the crossmember,4wd manifold had to be used to clear the inner wing,front chassis legs had to be cut and reshaped to allow the rad and cooler to fit,new down pipe had to be shaped around the steering column,prop had to be made up using bmw at the diff end and cossie at the box end,problems getting the throttle cable to work with the pedals and the clutch had to be converted to work with the bmw hydraulics.i didnt do it personally,a garage done the conversion for me

 

Nice tool there mate, are you on E3Zone? I'm MarkT off there, I share the 325i with Chip.. Love the conversion there mate... Was it that difficult to do the swap??? What did you do with the prop etc?

 

D'oh should have read the thread to the bottom!

 

Love it
