sweet lol

^ ruined it!

Destroyed it tony ;(

Sorry been shit busy with work, right...

Don`t know much about these but as far as i know its real (extras new at purchase on reciept when bought new)

Spotted this on Ebay and had to have it

Has no tax or MOT, booked in for Thursday @ 1pm

Comes as you see it, has the following...

Scorpion Full SS Exhuast system
Full enclosure Thatcham Cat1 Alarm/imobboliser
Tracker system
K&N
Full lowered suspension
18" M3 Alloys
Momo whatever wheel?
Full leather interiour
Wood trim

Full Service history
Ultra low milage

As you see it is as i got it, picked it up today, been under a tree in a back garden for 12 months, owned by an elderly man for ten years, got rid due to being a tad low and he now has a merc.
He paid £1100 for the wheels & £1020 for the tracker and alarm.

Car drives spot on, pulls well, sounds amazing and not too loud and has a low milage.

Let the games begin....

sweet mate

Knew i'd seen that car before,was owned by a lad off here around 2008.

That steering whee; s a Momo Millenium wheel.

Must of been his dads car mate, he`s had it for 10 years!

Cars from Houghton Rd off the Upton bypass.

Could of been, the lad lived in wales who drove it iirc. Just seen the add on ebay and it is the car.

It was on a site called MNR.

That's nice, colour is nice and the seats are nice as well. what engine is in it? Is AC Schnitzer a body kit or more??

Love the e36. Ive had a few. Have you got the stright 6? I dont think its an orig ac tho. Classic looks from the e36. Love the wheels Got a r reg 325 with 64k in hell rot 18mpg round town !

Ac also do performance tuning, yes this is the straight 6 2.5 litre, sounds like a ferrari when you accelerate, blooming gorgeous sound, can`t wait to get it on the road

Love the E36 myself, had a few but never a 2.5.
Think it will fail on brakes.
Booked in for the MOT tomorrow at 1pm

i do like the straight 6 sound

had an AC in a while back, gawjus!

when you coming for the van with the accord bud? found out why it had no fluid tell you when you get here!

Yea i think thats why only get 18mpg round town! The sound you get is such a legend, ive got a remus on mine nice and quiet
I get 0-46 in 1st gear 46-65 in 2nd 65-85 in 3rd i need to really get the manifold changed! Also there is mod wich takes 5mins to do. If the airbox is the orig open it up and you will find a restrictor. Youll get a nice sound too

yerrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... is right looks & sounds like a good one are kid, will have to come and av a look.

cool how much ?? £££

Lol, you know my bargaining powers

Put it this way, phil knows what it was up for

And a drive cuz

Very nice Ste.

Get it washed tho!

If you get it MOT'd and the brakes done for less than a £100 then you'll have the bargain of 2010.

unfortunatly i was too busy to get back to the MOT station to pick this up today so don`t know what it failed on, extremely busy in work at the moment.

it failed on...

Windshield wipers
Foglamp
Headlamp aim
Front pads
And a weld to the o/s/f sill

This car is up for sale/swaps/ p/x welcome.

I want an M3, my astra is quicker than this so unfortunatly it`s gotta go.
Think its about 200Bhp

its an insult that this is slower, i`m very surprised
don`t get me wrong, it`s quick but not that quick.

They are a big heavy car Ste, though Im pretty sure the Torque will make it quicker top end - the 6 cylinder refinment and smoothness is also fantastic in the BMWs

Not much needed for the MOT - fix it, test it and it should make you a a few pennies

Got the bits from senars before so should be ready soon although the painters will be doing the odd bits to make it mint before it goes.
It`s really nice to drive though and sounds fantastic, i`m not too bothered about top end but i do like acceleration to be quick, i think these are limited to 140mph although i could be wrong.

now I know why there is a steering wheel on the back seat that's for the back seat driver lol

THIS CAR IS NOW SOLD!

My burd seen her butt coz i was getting rid of this plus the lad didn`t come to collect my gsi for respray on time so i`ve decided to keep it.

Anyroad, it has a water leak somewhere (probs due to lying up for 12 months) but it only leaks when the engines running.

I`ll have a look later on today to see what it is yerrr

Is water pump leaking?

i presume so, it appears to be coming from around that area (doesn`t always leak).

doddle to change the pumps on them bud! just remember you'll need two long bolts to push it out, ive got all the bits to do it you can borrow

cheers chris

I've got to change the water pump on mine as well, I don't think there's anything left of the impeller.

I think it`s the thermostat housing, may as well get both just to be sure

New radiator fitted and fresh brake fluid, thanks to Chris Gilly

New lights fitted

How much more bhp?

700ish depending on CE rating

Wow - those ARE good lights then! LOL

boosts the price of the car for when it gets sold

sold????

it`s for sale mate, i need a yellow M3 Evo, MUST buy one!

Rear looks nice and fresh now

how much is this up for?

£1500

I`m selling this and the GSi to buy an M3

Also have the original AC Schnitzer steering wheel for this.

how much you hopin to get one of them for?

£3k dave

that cheap?i'd be careful...

Thought of that but been watching them on ebay, prices of the E30 m3 are unbeliveable but the E36 ones seem to be dropping.
Don`t mind if it`s high milage or needs work though.

Im with Dave - be careful, you may get a 1/2 decent non Evo for £3k, but a decent Evo

A lot of the M3 parts are not the same as the normal e36 All the suspension components, inc the arms and bushes are different, and you WILL pay a premium for anything M3 related!

Thanks stu, i`ll bear that in mind before i buy, maybe get the vehicle inspected beforehand even, theres an evo on the now at £3k...
Although it looks a bit shady, i would still take a look.

M3 EVO HERE

There is no mention of the milage, and the 4 doors dont fetch as much as the coupes...

Chris BMW M3 is your man for these - may be worth dropping him a PM

i may do that, the evo i drove was a 4 door, i think they look as nice so not to bothered if its 4 or 3 door but would prefer 3 door.
That 4 door was unbeliveable, don`t think i got to 4th gear when i had a quick go of it, thing had me pinned to the seat!
322bhp standard, can`t get much more for the money i don`t think?
these are nice to drive anyway, nice and tight.
gotta admit though i wouldn`t like driving it in the wet

The 4 door is a stiffer shell (thats when they used it in the BTCC and ETCC) and I reckon looks more of a 'sleeper'....

No TC does make them a handful in anything but the dry, but the 321 bhp is probably why your buying it in the first place.... One of the best performance for £ I reckon you can get at the moment

Make sure that you pay £80 and fit a set of ARP rod bolts though to help keep the bottom end together....

what about this...

http://passionford.com/forum/cars-for-sale/360086-1993-l-reg-bmw-m3-3-0l-coupe-3000-a.html

The 3.0 is a non Evo....

Nice car but if i`m spending that amount of cash it has to be an evo even if i need to put a little more towards it

How much are those bolts to be fitted stemars?

About £80 for the ARP bolts mate, and the price of a sump gasket (about £25) and about 3 hours labour to fit (£45/hr?)

It might sound expensive, but the original bolts stretch at high RPM and then the bottom end shells can spin and ruin the rod/crank.... Basically then its cheaper to replace the motor.

When you do buy one, listen for a knocking as this is well known on these engines, and people have been known to sell them on before the inevitable happens... Also, dont confuse this knocking with a noisy Vanos (which is at the top / front of the engine)

Edit. If you did buy one from an enthusiast, it might already have had this done

HTH
Ste.

thanks ste
you seem to know your stuff mate.

M3 is awesome, I've never had a go of one. Can't see them being any cheaper at the moment.

NP Ste, happy to help anyone with an E30 or E36 BMW I must admit I do like the look of yours with the ACS bits on it....

I race an e30 in the Production BMW Championship, but am very tempted to build an M3 trackday car or a 318is for the Khumo series.

I think that the E36 is at a point at the moment where the E30 was about 4-5 years ago, not worth a fortune and there is a lot of sh1te about.
Five years ago when they reached their lowest prices you could pick up an average E30 M3 for about £4k5, those cars are changing hands over £8k!

Im not convinced that E36 M3's will double in price in the next 5 years, but a tidy one thats looked after wont drop anymore £'s and will become more sought after I'm sure

Someone said the evo timing units always fail and they need a special type of oil. How true is this?

Bit of Old skool graphics ...

I believe there is lots of hype about these failing, and even healthy ones can be quite noisy.

If the specified oil is changed regularly, and the vanos filters changed at the same time, then this maintenance will usually prevent a failure.....

Nice

The Cruisewirral ones do look better than Autowirral...

Think i still have white and yellow crusiewirral graphics somwere aswell.

The good old time eh

Yeah man, those silver ones (got 1 left) are leftover from my XR2 (dearly missed )

Liked your xr2

seen the bimmer in oxton the other day looked nice

SWAP ME!!!
Ok, I bought this as a runaround whilst my GSi was being done up, now that it's almost ready I'm after swapping this for another car.
Any interest?
The only thing I have had to do to this is put 2 new tires on the back which only cost £90, obviously it's been maintained in the oil/engine department monthly .
Oh, milage is now 120k

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ok, i`ve come to the conclusion that the roof skin is fooked

Sooo....

Time to get the grinder out

Hmmm, now where did i put those safety glasses?

Our Jase had a bit of metal in his eye from not wearing any and i`d rather not got through that experience thanks
Thanks for the heads up R kid

Wooohoooo!

Fireworks

Ohhhhhh! Nasty!.....
So, what do i do now?

Paper mache and vinyl roof

HaHa Hey, not a bad idea, but the lads already seen the pics and knows theres no cortina style roof oin it lol.
Time for the filler methinks it will last a week anyway!

Damn, now i can understand why it cost so much for bodywork

Heres where i am so far

haha... Carlsberg + Grinder =

Lol, well the roof looks 10 times better now, however, I'm having trouble getting the colour in a spray can so it's time to spray it black methinks,

pics

Later Phil, I'm on an iPhone and my laptops at home

aw ok

That Fiesta looks ace!

Was going to say 'you're going to have trouble colour matching that!' Think a black roof will look fine. Edit the advert on the sly.

Will be getting primer and laquer tomorrow

Just as you said dave the paint doesnt match, i have made it slightly darker by using black underneath it. (on other parts of the car which needed doing, no pics).

more working on it after work tomorrow

Very good mate, if I'm around I'll pop down and see you.

Cool mate

looking good! Is it compulsory to have a can of lager whilst doing bodywork?

sure is bud, curing and drying times are so fecking long its to fill the time!

ah yes. Good point

Good work Ste

Good work there!

Thanks guys, it's gone now, it's now in Halifax but not for the fiesta xr2
