before you go ahead with changing the cluster, check the small plug on the back of the diff ( top right iirc) the odometer and speedo are connected through this connection and its very prone to corrosion, if you dont have any luck there then what youll have to do is remove the cover under the...

Sorry i'm being a bit nit picky but BMW didn't produce an M3 csl till about 2002, i think the dvla got this one wrong Model/Year 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 Total 2800 CS 138 2534 3335 276 6283 2800 CSA 787 1089 73 1949 3.0 CS 1974 1172 779...

Thanks for the kind words lads, i'm happy enough with the results for the moment, there are a couple of bits that i could have done better but i'll address those in a couple of years when i change the colour ,i think to blue although i am becoming increasingly more interested in getting her foil...

I had a popping noise similar to this on my ford probe, turns out the front springs were to blame as the rubber spring seats hadn't been put in by the previous owner, i think he wanted the car a bit lower without buying new springs or something lol

i can't get my bigger pics up, had to take all the pics i had from my photobucket album, i'll try again later resizing them but i do have bigger ones of the later stages on my wesite, the earlier stages were taken with a prehistoric sharp mobile and i don't know how to make them any larger...

Then followed hours and days of mind numbing sanding and filling and changing the skirts and rear end that i didn't like until i had achieved this At this stage i got a painter mate of mine involved and went through varios stages of sprayable green ti filler, and etch primer loads more...

Well,now i can post pics i can tell you of the ongoing saga that is my bmw, i bought her back in 2001 after having my escort van rammed one sunday morning at 2o'clock by a drunk driver in a mondeo, he hit it so hard he ripped his front wheel clean off ! i picked her up from a middle aged couple...

Please bear in mind that this was my first ever attempt at anything to do with fibreglass :embarrest:

AC/DC Thunderstruck from the razors edge album got me 3 points and a £60 fine a month ago for doing 90 in a 40 zone crossing solid white lines and overtaking an unmarked police car (out of town, early evening and no other traffic on the road) stupid i know but the coppers were a good laugh and...

A few years ago when i was still using my old BMW estate as a tool lugger for my on site kitchen fitting, i built a fibreglass install in the back but i needed to keep it removeable, also the spare wheel was underneath the middle of the boot floor, so i built it in three sections, the centre...

Hi there, i would go with what the boys are saying, i built an install for my estate a few years ago running 2 amps together 3000w, 4x150w 6x9's and a550w audiobahn sub with a neon light ring and 2 blue led computer fans to aid cooling of the amps, at first i had everything running off the...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, well my project master auron what can i say, the purists hate it, i love it,we'll soon see what you guys think !! yeah billyo that comment hit the nail pretty much square on the head, i'm a self employed kitchen fitter and while i'm glad i only work on the...

E32, better build quality, easier to work on less to go wrong and the design is timeless imo

BMW didnt until recently make stock turbo engines, bmw's tuning partner alpina used to do it though, if you want serious n/a power look to the M series engines, if my workload ever picks up again i'll be looking to put en E36 M3 engine in my E30 estate, 320bhp as standard

BMW's are known to need major cash injections to get more power out of their engines, engine swap is definately the way to do it although there are some good turbo setups on the market which run low boost on stock internals or indeed supercharger kits that will run on stock internals, check...

Can't see the pic but its not an M3 CSL, no such thing, itll be a 3.0 csl, gorgeous cars but very expensive to maintain nowadays from what i've been told

I'm a fan of the older generation of bmw's and only some of the newer ones but im really not sure about this one, from some angles it looks ok but the rear is hideous, i don't think it'll make production at least not without heavy modifications to the bodywork

Black and old, shows the old quite well !

Mine had to be a lhd mk1 seat ibiza, built by seat with fiat parts and porsche technology, ugly as sin, drove like a yacht and trying to get parts for it was a mega headache, had to swap the alternator once and the only way to get it out was by removing the headlight and pulling it through the...
