Hi, i'm in the south of Paris and here is my 318is.
It's the 3rd one à home. I started my project on an other one but there were to much work so i bought this one on April 2010.
I have all it's paper since the purchase order in 1990.

Beautiful car. Welcome to the Le'Club. ;)

Hi and welcome
Those brakes standard? Look a bit large.
It looks like you have been with these cars for awhile, what modifications have you done?
Cheers Rohan

Hi, thanks for the welcome :)
The front brakes are Hispec 300mmx28 and the rear are Z1 disks and M3 E30 calipers.
I didn't see you answers because no notification i will fix that :-)

It's a third hand and i have it since July 2010. It was very clean and didn't need any work on it but i wanted to continu my project started on the first one. I disassembled the entire car exept the dors and the trunk and i and remove the tar covering inside.
Just a precision, i always work alone on my cars :)

I bought these beautiful rims, 16x9 BROCK B3 but I sell because they do not correspond to the philosophy I want for the car. They are too heavy and too wide.

The result is still not good enough for me so i'll test the destructive rust and when the result will be good I will spend one or two layers of gray.
I still miss BMW calipers repair kits (rings, gaskets) and rear Z1 disks (the same as M3 but 4 holes).

October 2010/
Hi, there was a tremor on the front axle from 110 which increased with speed. As I remained on Paris that did not bother me too much but we have to go to Spain and there is no question to drive 1000 Kms like this
Rather than buy a new spring strut I decided to keep my old ones. So the config: spring strut diam 51, Apex, Eibach Prokit springs in -35mm.

Ok. I thought this could interest some one.....
-
I don't understand. Why did you delete all your pictures and words?
-
No answer after 10 days and 200 views. No one seems to be interersted...
Do you see an other explication ?
-
200 hundred views and you think no ones interested?
Your car looked great what do you think of the PPP out windows? Worth it?
-
What is the PPP, deflector ? It's indispensable on the E30 because rain falls directly in the car.
About the 200 views, when a post is good it's nice to let a word to says you love it.
-
Hi PPP was suppose to be pop out windows, rear windows.
But your car looks great and there's is not much room for improvement! I believe anyway.
Any plans for the engine?
Cheers Rohan
-
Ok, i see what you mean by ppp. In french we say custodes.
I have a stock M42B18 with just a sheep and also have at home a F2000 M42B20 full forged. It hasen't start yet and must sort 260 HP at 9000 rpm max.

F2000? What is that ?
260 hp that's massive, lhd or rhd?
What has been done to the m42 to get that sort of power?
Cheers Rohan

Is that the S42 motor you're speaking of? If so, can you post the details and some pictures? I think I loved your car, but now I can't recall what it looks like. ???
We love your car. But you have very little need to demand attention. Please understand that most members are from the US, and (unbelievably) the M42 was seen as an economy car over here. If you want some instant feedback or desire more exposure & attention, I'd recommend posting over at R3vlimited. They're far more outgoing AND far more numerous than we are. You'll have your hands full with both compliments and insults, methinks.
-
F2000 is a race road category in France.
It's not the S42 but the M42B18 prepared to become a B20. What are lhd and rhd ?
I will make a post specially for the engine. The engine has natural power lol no turbo or compressor ^^
-
The pictures are back! 8)
Good lookin' car there. BTW, who's eyes are those in your signature? Very beguiling. Are you a photographer as well as a mechanic?
-
What are lhd and rhd ?
lhd = Left hand drive
rhd = right hand drive
Nice looking car(s)?! Would be nice to have room(and permission from the lovely mrs) for a spare car! :)
-
Hi
Now the pictures are back, we can see your car is lhd. Which is great for exhaust manifolds, so many options. I'm rhd and I think I'll have to get a custom one made. Bmw completely stuffed the exhaust manifolds for rhd, especially for e30. It would be so much easier without the steering column in the way.
Fabfabe exhaust manifold looks the best for rhd.
Cheers Rohan

Hi, i decided to work on the E36 steering rack. I have it since two years :P
(http://lantrotro.free.fr/Pictures/Prepa_X42_-_Chassis/IMG_6718.JPG)
I do not want to go into a full restoration as it would work fine.
I completely degreased, first with Acetone to try (not glop) and petrol F and the result is excellent.
I thought to plug all entries different hoses as well as the ends and the plate that carries the ref of the rack

The front axle is down. As I started late Sunday I had not time to do the rear AR axle(Anyway, this week I'll get the front axle to the karscher to prepare it for painting).
I suspended the engine with a beam and two straps 650 Kgs (I think it's enough)
In addition we had a beautiful weekend compared to last one

I have many and many picts to post for the car works, the rims restoration, and the two engines.

Finally I managed to bring the piston in. After 15 minutes I said I had nothing to lose by returning the seal and by miracle it happened almost without force, which would mean that there is indeed a mounting way of the seal.
As there is no place to spend the fingers I used a socket (which enters the piston) and an extension cord.
I took the opportunity to pass the cap of the bleeder screw and the four guides silicone like that they will nickels

The second, will purging the brakes, a leak on the rear left and it's not the bleed screw. I'm good for another refection kit from BMW ^^

This morning i dismount (again) the caliper because in the night I realized I had not removed the small piece of rubber inside.
It will cost me the price of the kit again but when i removed the seal it had the same cut. When I handed the piston I did not force and neither the piston nor the chamber are not damaged so how does it happen?

Hi, the chassis is completely finished (without the rear right caliper)
I took the stering rod on my old direction.
The stering hoses installation is OK.

Nice work!!
I have never seen the underneath of a e30 so colourful. Usually black or just dirty.
Does the suspension feel a lot better now? What setup are you running?
-
Hi, yes usually cars underneath are black and dirty. Since this i have run a few Km and it became dirty too lol
The chassis is realy good with AKG silent block and now the car has new Bilstein B8 suspension.
The stab bars are from origine because i love little roads and i don't want the car too rigid.

What are the new brakes I see an adaptor bracket from hi spec, but what are the brakes 4 spot?
