My E30 325i. Slowly getting on it's wheels

[Larsinnj]

It's a 528i. A good friend of mine's :) He's also 18 years old. Have to start early! :D

Got the licence-plates today. Found a number of things to do before I could start driving.

-First, ofcourse I had to mount the plates.
-Then cut a bit of the mountings for the seat so I could get it a bit lower.
-Adjusted the valves
-Changed the oil from 10W40 to 20W50 because the valves started making noise when the engine got warm.
-Changed the oil-level sensor, because the light in the check-panel didn't come of.
-Sanded the pins in a plug under the intake manifoil, because my temp-gauge went bananas.

I knew all along it would be a difference from 320 to 325, but the gap between those cars ar huuge!! The car have more than enough power to me for a while!

btw, nice 320 as well!

Ordered new licence plates today! :)
Hope I get them soon. Can't wait to drive the 325i instead of teh 320i. :D

[Larsinnj]

Damn man cool thread, can tell you are excited about E30s. You have great english, it's fun to read your posts

[Larsinnj]

Passed the test to get my licence today! :)

Onøy downside is that the DMV have destoyed my numberplates, and it takes time to get new one. Hoping to get them by next week.

In the mean time, I drive around in this! :) A 320i

Got the Rial's kome today. Couldn't resist to polish them once again. I don't regret doing so either. There were some scratches on them, but I got rid of most of them.
I've only done one so far, but wednesday is my last day at school, and then I den't have anything to do until late august, so I think it will be time to do the remaining 3.
Got to get some money so I can paint them soon! :)

It's my birthday today (11), and i got a nice little *cough* big present for my E30! :)
Everything that's nessecary to convert to power-steering! :D That is a very good thing, because the steering-wheel is fucking heavy to turn around on 195/65-15 so I don't dare to think about what it's going to be with 215/45-17! Well, don't have to worry about that anymore! :mrgreen:

Did some work on it today. Letting the pics speak for themselves.
The only textile available was grey, but I don't care. I might replace it once, but it stays there for a while.

[Larsinnj]

Changed the thermostat (?) today. Took some pics as well.
She's dirty, but the weather is relly crappy, so it's no use washing her! :(
Another thing I'm going to do is to but some new mounts for the exhaust. I can lift the exhaust aprox 5 cm, and I want it to be as close to the bosy as possible.

[Larsinnj]

Thanks! :D

If you think I'm doing things wrong I would like to hear! Always room for improvement.. :D

[FL318is]

Nice work! Enoyed the pics!

[Larsinnj]

Hehe.. I've been practicing on driving for nearly two years now, so I'm getting used to it. I have a lesson to get my licence in about a month for now, so hopefully I'll pass.
Perhaps I can drive and take a picture with the E30 standing on the road, so all the people can see acctually how narrow the roads is! :)
