ahh that does make sense. i think a major service and tune will do the car a whole world of good. im not too sure if the manual box will much of a difference but i just love manuals and fater having my e30 325i touring Auto for a year now im fed up, though the gearchange on this auto box is unbelievably smooth!

oh and new exhaust is fitted. . . pics soon, along with video hopefuly so you guys can hear it.

cheers!

nahhh no standard jobbie, well half of it is. i wanted that old school sound like the old MGs had, so i kept the centra box and got them to get a pipe right to the back up swept! iv not noticed her drinking much though, the 30bucks worth is still in her from when i brought her back from Sammie's yard back to west london! lol, i think in total iv done about 85 - 90 miles :?

P.s. . . IV PICKED UP MY 323i!!!!!!!! im so f*cking happy! pics to come tomorrow when its light! top end is in bits though so i need suggestions please guys! i just want to do subtle top end mods, maybe try and use an e30 head? also how can i tell if its got an LSD on her?

thanks!

Jack the rear wheels up, if they spin the same way then it's an LSD and you're very lucky! Only one of seven of my E21s has one.

That's lightweight. This is what I did to an E21!

I'm curious to know whether your E21 has ever won show awards? Because this one (desert rat) has.

a little video demonstrating the exhaust. paints not finished yet so ignore that. im fully aware its not to everyones taste but no one need worry because this isnt or wasnt a mint car to begin with. just a rough and tough e21.

the bumper was bent as heck and also behind the bumper, as you can tell. I need to sort the rear ender damage and then il have to find a rear bumper. . . Either that or i save my money for my 323i and leave it with the mk1 escort style quarter bumpers. Im looking to use most of my money on a 2.5 e30 lump conversion so more than likely the bumper will stay like that
