Cheers

Yeah I like the non sport, small wheel standard look so that's the plan. In fairness the photo makes it look in better shape than it is. The paint is tired so a fresh paint job will help it. The interior is in very good condition and doesn't need anything really. Iv a list of things I want to sort on it, so should keep me interested for a while yet.

I'd love an E30. What engine? I had an e36 320i about 10 years ago and I still miss it.

Voodoomelon · 23-07-2016 12:22AM

Beautiful car. Sheer elegance in its simplicity.

166man · 23-07-2016 10:32AM

Every so often I think that as petrol heads we drive a car or have a motoring experience that really reminds us why we love cars and the whol experience of driving on a great road.

Had one myself last night. Borrowed QV's Alfa GTV for the weekend as he wanted the Mercedes. Asked him what the mileage limit was for the weekend and he said "none" so the tank was filled and I hit the road for one of those lovely late night drives.

Went Dublin-Malahide-Newry (Via old M1)-Monaghan-Cavan-Athlone-Dublin. 240~ miles total. Mostly back roads where I could.

What a sweet little machine. 20 years old and 180k miles on the clock. It's runs so well and while the engine isn't going to win any races it just pushes you to go that little bit quicker in the bends. The steering is so sharp and grip seems endless.

Really reminded me why I love driving. :cool:

Baxtard, certainly hadn't that in mind when I said none :pac:

NN1 · 23-07-2016 01:57PM

My latest purchase! Absolutely loving it so far. Stole a pic from the ad as I'm about halfway through cleaning it, it's covered in tar!

No it's not tfb's old car :-)

what engine did you go for? looks class from the outside keep it that way please! i ran several mk2 gti 16vs and e30s at the same time and found them to be the perfect partners

my much loved 318is

my sexy swchwartz black metallic 16v:D

vintagevrs · 23-07-2016 03:23PM

The 318is is meant to be the pick of them, baby m3 if set up right. This I my first step into one of these, it's got a m20b25 in it

you will kill a 318is in most ways and esp that romantic howling 6cyl :cool:

best of luck with her and keep her between the ditches as they say:D

Diabhalta · 23-07-2016 05:58PM

I have a 318is... it's more powerful than the 6cyl 2 litre and of course lighter. I plan to replace the front bushings with the m3 eccentric ones. Other than that just front/rear lights and indicators (all black). Got the rear spoiler already, the lip spoiler that was on it was in bad condition. Maybe different back box, now it sounds a bit too boyracerish to my taste.

2 weeks in tomorrow. Have put 2k kms on the car in that time. the poor thing doesn't know what's hit it, it had only done 3k kms since it's NCT in October '15.

Loving how it looks, loving it's fuel economy, loving it in generally really. the biggest downsides are that the factory stereo is pretty **** and I don't really care for music etc, but the speakers are terrible, that and ishift is just on the borderline of being acceptable, it's "fine". I think if I never knew it was an automated manual but thought it was a torque converter instead that I would be enjoying it a little more but at the moment i'm always trying not to do stuff to harm the clutch.

had the wheels off this evening and to my surprise, the rear brake disc stone guards are red rotten, literally crumbling in my hand. otherwise it all seems nice and tidy underneath.

aaaaaaaaanyway, a photo.

MOD: picture removed

OEM 17's and she'll be a fine job.

Hi.

What don't you like about the ishift ?
What do you have to do to not harm the clutch ?

MOD: Have a look at the title. See you in 24h.

colm_mcm · 23-07-2016 09:14PM

Yeah! GvidoR got his picture ban wings

Still a few little jobs left to do but am really happy with it.

They are a really nice car. The styling has aged very well.

Just for you, I was driving this along the Amalfi coast last week.

I had one at the same time as a comfortline MkIV Golf. Used to take the beemer for long trips as it was more comfortable

If you get the ticking noise in the car shove a piece of bluetac into the steering column shaft at the steering wheel, almost kills it completely

Not to belittle the death of a living thing, but I cant believe my mam hadn't noticed she was driving around like this.

Autosport · 24-07-2016 09:18PM

Remove the bird before the smell sets in, it's rather strong

Thanks CorkMan ,have been trying to track down oem parts for the last while alright and have being doing ok.There still is parts available for them both new and second hand anyhow.

Cheensbo · 27-07-2016 10:17PM

Picked up this old timer at the weekend, gave it a quick enough clean this evening, just waiting until I can get a full day at it!

It's not perfect but it's in damn good nick for a 25 year old motor, 140k miles & good mechanical order, fully original bar the head unit it seems, came with test & tax too - can't say it needs anything immediately so that's good - if not a little boring :P

Big Nasty · 28-07-2016 04:37AM

Great find - nice work dude!

Chris_Heilong · 28-07-2016 09:26PM

Got my new daily, it flipping fun.

a lot of bits will have to go before its next NCT(tint, wheels that stick out, super loud decat exhaust, HID light) but it is super clean inside and out.

28-07-2016 09:31PM

You went from a Chaser to that??? :eek:

Sh1tbag OToole · 28-07-2016 09:32PM

Fair f*cks for buying that yoke and posting pics.

I thought the thing in the boot was a 1970-80's mini washing machine for camping trips for a second

Cheensbo · 28-07-2016 09:35PM

That's fúcking class

well...and the supra.

I wanted a Toyota BB but they are hard to come by, The cube is so against everything that was me and in a way it refreshing, lol I used to hate them. It was a necessity to buy a smallish daily(move up the years also) but I wanted something a bit different from the polos, jazz or Hyundais out there.

Anyone who knows me knows it wont stay like that long:D also I have been trying to get my wife to drive for years and this car is femine enough to encourage her so I am happy.

rizzodun · 28-07-2016 10:09PM

I bloody love those Cubes!

Those wheels are cack though.
