Bob the BIMMER - WRITE OFF

[Jesterarts]

About time i posted up my current ride i guess.

Its a 1989 e30 318i BMW manual.

power: 83kw @ the flywheel

mods:

Sports seats (Old ones looked like a cat on heat had its way with them)

New lights all round

Coming Soon:

Getting lowered with the lowest King springs (SL for those of you playing along at home) and bilstein shocks.

Getting some 16's to reaplce the 17's (Don't ask, just accept)

Cannon..... ARGH im a pirate!

[kniever]

i love the beema's, they look like the angel headlights too, and what i can see which is really hard those wheels look like they suit well.

i was looking at the v6 535i before i came across my calais, very nice cars

[Jesterarts]

Yeah the wheels are OK... just not to my taste and the spokes are really fat so you can't see the freshly painted red calipers...

Plus once its lowered i can see the 17's causing some issues as the e30 ideally run 15's or 16's...

[GOTMYN]

Hey Bob...welcome.....lol..

Can't wait to hear Bob chirping past my place, just like the old days....LMAO..

Hey, and on a good note, Nikko says it suits you....(seen you drive past)....

Knew it wouldn't be long before you started playing again..lol..
Neons for chrissy...Shift Light....Buy your G-Tech back...lol..

Gotta have that Beer!!

[Jesterarts]

Yeah... that beer has been like half a year coming now! lol

It does suprisingly chirp 2nd if i rev it out to like 6500rpm...lol

Once i get the 16's on it should chirp abit more...

Oh, and next time you see it it will be "dumped" lol... KINGS SL dumped anyway AND have a cannon...

I recon i will laugh when i hear it when i get it back tomorrow morning...

[UNKNOWN]

Looks nice, got anymore pics?

[Jesterarts]

After this weekend i will... lowering, exhaust, cut and polish is all happening this weekend.

Atm its dirty as hell caus i ended up in a ditch last night (doing a u-turn and it was abit squishy) and i just got out so yeah...lol

[EvoVIIIJDM]

Cute, very cute. Not you, the car. What happened to your other beast?

[Jesterarts]

Sold it in about Feb of this year....

Got 18G for it which was alright considering it was a VX S, but crap considering i lost like 10G in mods...

[Jesterarts]

Ok, here it is in all its... errr..... glory?

Kings Superlows all round, bilstein shocks all round, new muffler and enough negative camber to feed a small african nation.

I must admit i really like the shot from behind... the paint looks good on that angle and all...

As you can see the thing desperately needs a good wash/polish with red stuff/ wax but for now it will do...

It has offically eaten up all of my pub money and next weeks train ticket money! lol!

[Jesterarts]

THIS CAR IS CURSED!!!

One thing after another with it... a low-beam globe blew last night... only a month old... its not a big thing but its damn annoying! Got the globes from ebay and the seller is sending out replacements which is nice of them.

Now all i have to do is:

Odometer
Stop is smoking
Front wheel bearings
Fix driver interior light door switch
Replace lifters

Grr... the list goes on! lol

[Wagon_Wheel]

Its no VX, but looks pretty clean man.
Nice cannon.....
You fix what you were doin the other day when you came in?

[Jesterarts]

Yeah mate... those dust seals worked a treat...

Car drives like its on rails now... good thing i got the bucket seats...

Some of the guys on the eurocar forum im on whack 200rwkw+ V8's in these things... hilarious results...

Not on my "To Do" list though... Saving for a house n then an impala project...

[UNKNOWN]

I love the tail lights on it, cant say ive seen them before! I want to get a small beema one day soon, got a lil suprise up my sleeve for one!!!

[Jesterarts]

Yeah... the e30 is a very nice looking car...

and the 3 series e30 platform... man... its amazing what they do to these cars...

Lots of modding potential... i've even seen them squeaze a v12 under the bonnet!! lol

[UNKNOWN]

What.... a V12!!! Nice! I was planing on putting a VH41 or VH45 in one! All alloy Nissan V8. Quad OHC. Very nice engine!

[Jesterarts]

Looks like the lil 1.8 is burning oil...

It was running abit odd the last week so I decided to check the vitals... Its gone through about 3L of oil in 6 months.

Also the throttle is abit sticky... it seems to stick atot on "max"

Got some new windscreen blade wiper arms coming next week and a new window washer pump as my water reserve is leaking...

Oh, anyone know where I can get non "gay with lil LED light" washer jets? decent ones...?

Looking at you Wagon_Wheel... lol

[Jesterarts]

New washer pump installed... wipers arrived today so will be put on tonight... just need to shoot past a autobarn and get some washer jets.

Then I have to work out why the exhaust makes a rattling noise when it gets really hot after i've given it abit... and by abit i mean alot.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Lol, what you looking at me for?
I dont think there is such a thing as "non gay washer jet LED's" lol.
But if your desperate for them dont get colored ones just get white ones.

[UNKNOWN]

You dont have to wire up the lights... LED's off = not so gay! LED's on = gay!!!

[Jesterarts]

Nah nah... im desperate to find washer jets that DON"T have leds thus are non-gay...lol

[Wagon_Wheel]

I ordered them in for ya man, they will arrive about 11am monday morning.
I think the part number was NWN500, so just ask for those, think they were about $4 each.
If they wont fit or you dont like em its all good, they are just a cheap universal style one

[Jesterarts]

Thanks, I'll probably send my gf in for them...

I'm having a quick search of ebay to see it there is anything interesting.

[Jesterarts]

Been fixing a couple things over the last few weeks.

New thermostat went in last weekend as the old one was stuck closed.

New wiper arms and blades are on.

Fixed interior light switch.

Fixed sunroof handle (Kept falling off, nothing a E clip couldn't fix)

Got a new intake going in this weekend, mainly looking for fuel economy as this cars engine is has no performance potential.

And also replacing the old rubber pedals with non-slip aluminum ones.

Start of July its going in to get new hydrolic lifters as the current ones are ticking alot.

But overall its finally nice to drive (Other than a major lack of power) and its abit of fun making my mates sh*t themselves around corners.

[Jesterarts]

Put new pedals in today... got a new insturment cluster on the way so i will finally have a working odometer (even though its 30,000km ahead of mine).

And Working on a bracket to hold the AFM so the POD filter sites properly...

EDIT:

POD filter is in... just need to give the bracket a coat of paint when and if i can be bothered
