Ya just swing the mirror full around so your looking at the back of it from the drivers seat and that's the way it should be fitted to the passenger side.the longer part of the mirror to the outside if ya get me

well i discovered why the inside was so low i removed the roof lining to discover the sun roof which is a big massive thing that takes up the whole roof and is 2 inches thick and has 4 pipes one at each corner 2 copper pipes at the front and a nice little motor well i can safely say its coming out ha :D
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC00970.jpg?t=1303772932
and i cut me finger on the headlight glass when it broke but ah sure its all part of the job bt:)
right this is a bit of a hope for the best job the gear linkage was held together with elasticbands and it kept popping out so since i got pissed off trying to get a circlip onto the linkage i got a jubily clip and tightened the shite out of it funny enough it feels better changing gears
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC00953.jpg?t=1303416697

after awhile anyway time for an update :happy) all my spare money went on this a nessesity but its needed jump startin it al the time especially when it cuts out on me was'nt never goin to be enjoyable for much longer but for 60 euro including vat and its heaveyier duty then the previous one money well spent
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01074.jpg
then i put my black alloy sittin against the silver one to get an idea if it would suit http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01076.jpg
then i got my da and he welded in the passenger seat
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01075.jpg
and since one morning i had spare time i decided to remove the kidney grills to paint them gloss black http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01077.jpg
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01078.jpg
i decided to spray two of my 318is alloys black as there the ones wit the best tyres and rub the least dam 205 tyres i got are brand new and i cant use them yet they rub :mad) :mad:
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01081.jpg
this is the gloss i use its really easy to spray wit and get good results
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01080.jpg
see what i mean :) i put lacquer on them aswell to protect them and make them shiney http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01082.jpg
you can also see my kidney grill i only done one so far need time to the second
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01083.jpg

after being quiet for awhile and everything actin up n going wrong i decided it well over due for an update
i got tired at lookin at this mess of wires and stuff so i realised i had a load of alluminium left over from the sun roof so i decided to make something up to hold swithes and look well
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01127.jpg?t=1311462576
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01129.jpg?t=1311462684

opps :rolleyes:
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01136.jpg?t=1311462859
i decided to tidy the wiring and remove more sound deadening
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01141.jpg?t=1311462972
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01140.jpg
OH SHITE :mad:
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01142.jpg?t=1311463093
i bought these at prodrift
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01143.jpg?t=1311463164
so i thought i would came down crack open the box of sockets and a hammer and removed the sheared bit of bolt in the hub
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01148.jpg?t=1311463281
and i thought if im gonna go to a drift day i might service it so i went off and got a few bits
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01147.jpg?t=1311463391
and i was under the car and discovered this ah well be grand
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01145.jpg?t=1311463428
and if im gonna compete in prodrift sometime ill need one of these handy to have one anyway
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01149.jpg?t=1311463659
so i thought id waste no time installing it

its the adapter for my airflow meter
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01164.jpg
so i wasted no time in whippin off the standard airbox and puttin on the adapter
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01165.jpg
so i can put on this :D

update tme so when the day came to go to goldstone i was up early doing last minute bits and pieces before i went off
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01168.jpg
and we got the car loaded in the trailor after half an hour thank god we brought the longer planks ha
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01169.jpg
so as happy anything i finally got to goldstone and unloaded the car and got out and after an hour or 2 the car didnt seem right and with smoke coming up through the bonnet and a terrible smell in the car i got in after shifting down gears and realising it would go into 1st http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01171.jpg
and the i also realised my exhaust melted the bumper so thanks to brendan who helped load the car with a digger we got the car home and brought it up to my uncles garage
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01179.jpg
so we found a number of problems the drive shaft mount at the back of the gearbox was in terrible shape
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01180.jpg
and we got the gear box off and realised the ring gear came off explains how the car would'nt start
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01185.jpg
and i took the pressure plate off and the clutch fell into a million pieces on the ground funny enough lookin closer at it its actually the factory clutch
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01181.jpg
so i rang up tom in mad racing and had a clutch got in 2 days so i decided id buy the lowering springs off diesel dick aswell while i was down in waterford
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01177.jpg
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01176.jpg

Nice project :)
Just too little things though is the cone-filter will just end up you loosing power unless you at least make a heat-shield or something along with it
On dyno runs, cars have lost around 5bhp with tests with standard airboxes and aftermarket cone filters apart from the odd few such as the Dave-F kits for the 328s etc.
And the other little bit would be switching to an E30 325 lightened flywheel will be a nice upgrade the next time the clutch gives up :cool:
The iS engines can be very good little engines with abit of work!

thanks ye i was thinking about doing that and im gettin the standard flywheel lightened and ye so i heard they can be good engines

19-08-11, 10:10
Dont bite lightening the standard flywheel. It still ends up having more inertia than a lightened M20 flywheel plus it's a smaller disc of course.
My iS engine should be over 200bhp but I'll admit I'll probably have more spent on it than my S54

i know what ya mean but it was my uncles idea sure ah be grand im tryin not too spend too much on the engine apart from servicing and stuff like that cause i hope to put a bigger engine in but if then again i might hang on to the is engine its seems to be indestructible

about time for another update as sure things have gotten slack due to being back to school :mad:after my clutch decided it had enough myself and me da got the clutch in and all sorted out we put the gearbox on the gearbox on only to dicover the slave cylinder was fucked :mad: :(

so i was on the phone to the autofactors and had one the next day in a nice black :D
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01193.jpg
so thats all in sorted bled and it has transformed the car now the spark plugs are f**ked ha ha but good to get the car going i was down in the tannery one day and i jus happen to run into chuck and i jus happened to have a tenner in my pocket so these were an obvious purchase Team Man Foot ftw

Paddy drifter
09-09-11, 15:24
thanks lad and they are and im not sure to be honest would'nt like to chance it cos the top of the spring is narrower than the bottom and sure lowering springs are cheap

well sure lads and ladies id better update this so keep the fans happy but anyway im busy puttin cians springs on the car and as im in school it aint easy but after a bit of work the spring was on now the challenge was to get it back on with a dowel ya have to line up and the shock springin back and the wishbone doing the same i got sick of it so i took out the trolley jack and stuck an axle stand under it and stuck this in the top bolt hole if i thought of it earlyer would of saved me the 20 minutes
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01206.jpg
and with saturday coming round the corner meself and the father decided to head up to mondello to see what the craic was and jaysus lads what a round it was some craic up there and i got this :D cos im a bit of a sticker whore ha ha

I don't know about a massive bonnet vent but an alloy rad, new metal impeller waterpump and 88 degree stat and it should be fine.
Other than that, you could take the head off and change to arp head studs and nuts, mls headgasket and things so it reduces the chance of making shit of the head and block down the line if the headgasket goes but some might consider it over-kill.
Handy thing about the M52 is your 4cylinder springs will work nicely as there's more or less no difference in weight of the engines.

Other than that, you could take the head off and change to arp head studs and nuts, mls headgasket and things so it reduces the chance of making shit of the head and block down the line if the headgasket goes but some might consider it over-kill.
Handy thing about the M52 is your 4cylinder springs will work nicely as there's more or less no difference in weight of the engines.
thanks for the advice ha ha i may stay away from you or ill be broke :D
and im going all out and gettin coilovers so far the driver side shock is banjaxed

Coilpacks and leads ok? They often cause a mis-fire on the M42 and M44s.
The ignition drivers in the ECU get fried too though at times if the coils are getting weak.

Of course and so will a lightened 5.9kg single-mass M20 one from an E30 325i etc :)
get a nice lightweight billet one from Barrysmotorsport though, the dualmass standard M3 ones are shite.
Shur fcuk it, I've an E46 M3 clutch, flywhee and gearbox on my E30 318iS :p

if i knew id tell ya :L bought the engine off polish lads that could barly speak a word of english! all i got out of them was 3 stage clutch, flywheel light! heaviest clutch i ever felt and hard enough to set off without being up in the revs!

it'll be fine. E36 5 speed boxes cost fookall anyway even if it does pack up over time.
All the Barrysmotorsport M3 engined cars have very strong Exedy Hyper-single flywheels and boxes are doing fine really with pretty much no more wear than if they were using standard clutch and flywheels.

thats good so this engine now will make the car some machine ha ha
Did ya get a 6 cylinder gearbox with it? You'd do the engine swap in about day or less if you had the bits all bolted together. Take the whole front end off the car and makes it simple really, four main nuts holding it on and then a few little ones holding the nosecone in place

yep, all bolts off nicely on the E36 apart from the 4 little spot welds on the nose-cone but your probably best to drill them out anyway as it'll make it easier to take it off in the future if you have to do any other work or if you damage it.

Do the 2.8 engines have oil coolers? That seemed to be a problem with my 2.5s, oil heated too much

update: got the car running sweetly figured out there was a pipe off the inlet and put it back on and went to the tannery
and destroyed two pairs of tyres :o
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01235.jpg?t=1318697244
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01236.jpg?t=1318697317
and had my first wall tap :o
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01237.jpg
so when i got her home i checked out the damage basically everything shifted ha :o http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01243.jpg
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01239.jpg
so as a temperary fix i tool out the light and sprayed over the dents wit a bit of gloss black to stop the rust
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01241.jpg
Paddy drifter
21-10-11, 16:44
so the plan for the next few months is
find money some where
get coilovers
more steering lock
ensure the 2.8 is gonna be as reliable as the 1.8
get an alloy rad and generally stuff to keep the engine cool
put in the 2.8 and go drifting with it
seems simple does'nt it :rolleyes:
Paddy drifter
23-10-11, 19:59
update: so with the tannery drift day next weekend and it being such a shite day i decided to repair my aluminium backbox last thing i want is it fly off and hit someone :o

http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01247.jpg
so i got a bit of aluminium and cut it to shape
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01252.jpg
if in doubt get the pop rivets out so i drilled a few holes and stuck in a few pop rivets
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01253.jpg
a nice strong job now :D

it also done this
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01291.jpg
which ment the boot didnt shut to well at all so i decided to treat the car to a new present so i picked up the phone and i give murray motorsport a shout and purchase these
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h341/Paddydrifter/DSC01290.jpg
and like the way i always am when i buy something new i wasted no time in puttin them on (dont mind the pic being a bit blurry it was a camera phone at night :o :rolleyes: )
