The MR E30 Project Thread

Thanks for the kind words man. It kinda seemed like the car didnt want to be there though, with the coolant episode and all. Haha

At the next one just come up and shake my damn hand! I like looking at all types of E30's, cause everyone has to start somewhere, and not everyone gets quite as lucky as I did. Though some get much luckier!

Ah, no worries, they all leak something. It was nice seeing your car at that meet. Seems like it runs good considering that loose fan belt making a funny noise.;) Hope to see you there again in a couple of weeks and hopefully we will get to talk a little more.

Cheers,

Jim

What happened with the coolant?? And when is the next meet going to be?

I saw your car at the meet last night. It's really coming along nicely! Keep up the good work. Hopefully we will have a chance to talk at the next one.

First of all, I must say that it is motivating to see you doing this whole project in the barracks parking lot....that's some dedication :)



Secondly, where is said meet? If it's an e30 thing, I may have to roll by sometime....

My best friend went home on leave for a couple of weeks, and left me his car. So I decided to clean it out and do his spark plugs for him. So I swapped em out with fresh ones, checked his oil and added a little bit of coolant. I also quickly wiped down his engine bay just cause I like things to be clean, if anything.

Anyways, lets turn from the boring E36 M3, and focus back on the little E30.

This sucker arrived today! So damn sexy, and I am ready to buy the Spal fan as soon as I get paid. I am also going to look into silicone radiator hoses, in a cool color or something.

Ah, I am going to redo them tonight then.

Thanks for the info man!

Your suppose to soak the wrap in water before you wrap them. Lts the wrap stretch out so moisture can build up behind it and cause the headers to rust.










The two holes I have on the front went away when the wrap dried up.

[MR E30 325is]

You wrapped them headers wrong.. Just sayin. You might want to redo it if you didnt put them on yet.

Well I cant redo them if I dont know what I did wrong!

they are not installed yet.

Dude, videos! :D

Damn man I know!

But I feel all insecure, cause I havent got my exhaust completed. And I know it has more to offer!!

I will get on that though.
