QuoteBob in Everett Hey, just a silly question, is there an adjustment for the seat height on the sport seat? I could not see one but maybe I was not looking in the right place. if I remember, you push down on one of the side levers. Most of the cars this age have blown the little shock that pushes the seat up though so it's easier if you don't put any weight on the seat while yoby james - Community Forum

Do yourself a favour and get a Bentley Manual. It covers most if not all the nitty gritty of head removal and dis assembly. It will save you trying to piece together bits and pieces from the internet. jamesby james - Technical Forum
Hey Man, Glad to hear you're doing well. At least you still have your e30, I bet you sneak a peak regularly. How many kids do you have? We are just getting into the territory of less and less car seats finally. My daughter isn't using one and next year my son can get rid of his. Will be good. Here's the new car. Not much done to it currently, going to lower it and has a feby james - Community Forum
I do my best. QuoteArcheo-peteriX James, You haven't changed at all. If anything you are as incorrigible as ever And as, always, you have some very good insights to possible areas where the real problem liesby james - Technical Forum
2 problems with your theory. 1) Angles are too drunk on whiskey to bother with your coolant 2) Coolant system is a sealed system. You have a leak somewhere. Now on the M20 (which I'm guessing is what you have) coolant likes to leak from precisely 1 million places. A few quick things to check. 1) Throttle body heater gasket. Crappy cork gasket that eventually leaks on all E30by james - Technical Forum
My rear arches practically evaporated on my 90' QuoteBob in Everett That is one thing the E30 has going for it....the lower body is pretty well protected. Have been driving mine in salted roads here for several years with not trouble. I had some accident repairs done that do not have the corrosion treatment where the new body parts are welded in so that may be an issue eventually.by james - Community Forum
Oooh nice new car Ferd. I know what you mean, I missed my '85 eta when I got the i. And the '90 I had developed some underlying issues that the e never had. For us living in eastern canada rust is the death of these cars. My last car practically came apart at the seams after a while even though I was pretty good at keeping it clean. Corrosion prevention has come along way let mby james - Community Forum
QuoteEarendil QuoteBob in Everett They have an illuminated ring around the lamp...you probably do not want them. Bob in Everett And more importantly, angle eyes are not stock on E30s. There are stock fitments, but they are aftermarket and were made years after the E30 left the production line. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong The first stock angel eyes are on the e60 5 series if Iby james - Technical Forum

Haha that's right the Capri vs mustang thread. You might not remember me but I remember you Rick. As I post more idiotic comments I'm sure it will all come flooding back.

Hey Peter! Yes I did have chance to read that sad news. But you can't eat a car and as people kept telling me after the accident, it's only a car. They are all lying of course and don't understand but they mean well It's good to be back. One thing this board has that none of the others seem to is a genuine sense of community. It was fun to actually help people here andby james - Community Forum
^ ouchie! that's not going to buff out. I assume everyone was fine. The E30 looks good, you got rid of the old one? I miss the E30s a lot. One day I'd like to get another one, doesn't even have to be anything super fast. A guy down the street from me has an E30 touring with an M50 swap. It's pretty awesome.by james - Community Forum
QuoteMichiel 318iS That was a nice touring, like it in that colour. Ever since I crashed my iX when wanting to do some upgrades, I've been very careful just before and after doing maintenance on my cars. A little superstitious? Not at all. Cautious. I'm about to upgrade the suspension on the new car but in the back of my mind is this voice telling me not to just in case...by james - Community Forum
Hey man, all the usual suspects here still eh? lol Yeah I'm fine, not a scratch on me which was shocking. Airbag deployed and the car was a write off which was very upsetting, I'd just upgraded the suspension 4 days earlier. Oh well life goes on. I'm just reading all the older posts here, Peter sold his ix? That's sad. How are you doing? Are you still doing the Taby james - Community Forum
Hey All, Peter, Cab, et al. How is everyone? Been a long long time since I was on BEN. Doesn't look like my old credentials work any more. Still in the e46 world, though had a slight speed bump last april when I hit a red light runner and totaled the touring. Have a sedan now but I miss the E30s. Maybe I'll get back into one in the future. Jamesby james - Community Forum
