The Curse - every May I start new e30 project - Recession special 318iS ! 56k Death !

[nmlss2006]

Really? That sounds really .. well, unexpected, given the size and thickness of the core. The M50 doesn't have an oil cooler either - and the airflow in the E30 is far from the best. I don't understand :).

You want ABS. And I'd get an aluminium radiator with the sidetank rather than an M42 radiator if you intend to put out any serious power.
As to the 318... do we have any data on durability?

Funny you said that, cause i wondered the same (if it could handle it) until i saw him \/ at a meet last week and figured if it keeps up in that car, it could in any.

im running the m42 radiator in my car... stroked and overbored m50 with 20 psi of boost. never had a problem.

lookin good Vlad.

yeah, I've decided agaist the tint :up: not going to tint this car !

another part I picked up

Valid point Turk, though I would not mind having more data points. Let's say that I am a big believer in oversized heat exchangers, due to a distressing familiarity with British cars.

Vlad, car looks great! Will it be at Saturday's C&C?

[ikkitousen]

I'll take that momo wheel with the red stiching thank you!


Looks unbelieveable BTW.

I see bewbs..

[SamE30e]

Man, I would love to see if I could get an M42 radiator to work on my car, then I could get rid of the coolant expansion tank, and that side of my engine bay would be totally bare. :D

It's easy a pie!

[TwoJ's]

Here you go:

-clean carpet
-mask surrounding areas
-spray it
-let it dry

Yes, it really is that easy. Some also like to use a bristle brush before it cures to separate the fibers.

I've dye'd the carpet in my car and it definitely really is that easy. It was easier for me too because I had the carpet out of the car to put sound deadening in and run my heated seat harness.

If you end up using the spray shit, definitely use a little brush. it works it in to the fibers better, and you won't have crusty, stuck together carpet.


Good work Vlad, it looks awesome. Even though I'm going to re-do mine on my car, I'm glad you decided against the tint.

Vlad, car looks great! Will it be at Saturday's C&C?
