New Run a round

[tuscaholic]

Got a E30 325iSE for a run around all original right down to the blaupunt stereo except uprated suspension in Zinobar red will put some pics on when its home...

I drove it to the midlands on thursday and for a 171bhp its quick I was well impressed.

I will post some pics when i get it up north... P

Well during the first week Ive found the car has a slight oil leak coming from like a valve in the oil filter housing.

So its booked in tommorrow for a service and to get that leak fixed.

Also on the way back home tonight I notice some shaking on the steering wheel while braking down from ***mph. If I rember right from Evo 6 days this is due to warpped discs :O(

So in a couple of weeks I'm gonna uprate the brakes, the cars gonna be used for fast road only no track days.

Anyone got any recomendations Im not bothered about the cost I just want good brakes but dont want to spend silly money..

Loving the car though its great fun to drive and
accelerates really well :O))

Oil pressure relief valve (very common) I would say, renew with genuine parts it wont cost much and if you quote 4-Plus you will get 10%off, as for brakes std BMW discs are great, Ferrodo 2500' pads, braided hoses and ATE super blue fluid will give you an excellent set up. Try aswel to get air to the brakes as the E30 runs brakes very hot.
