Who else have gods true chariot, an E30, on the forums? I know myself, Beach Bum, Party Alarm, Moxie Alarm, aventari....


Yes, my E30 was pretty godly awesome, to me at least.



Unfortunately...



:( (click pic for the full album)

I will have another, some day. I had the full SpecE30 suspension on there, EVERYTHING worked (including the SI board!), Euro projector headlamps, poly motor/trans/suspension mounting hardware, 197k on the clock, fresh timing belt/waterpump, I had just gotten a spare rear subframe to do the adjuster welding... I had just bought the Volvo too, so the E30 was going to go into full weekend car mode. It was the last weekend before we got the house with the garage.

EDIT:

I should let you all know that my old E30 is still in the driveway as a parts car should any of you want something.

Not my video but does anyone have a clue what might be causing this noise?

Only happens once the car has warmed up, around 2k rpm this raspy noise begins. I've adjusted the valves and tried a few different oils, although not a fully synthetic one...can't see how that would do it but I'm willing to try anything at this point. The car runs/drives great cold or hot, just makes an awful racket when its hot.

That sounds a hell of a lot like your power steering pump. Otherwise just normal old E30 rattle :shobon:

I miss that sound :(
