Red Evo2 parked up on Upper Rock Gardens road in Brighton on Sunday. Looks nice if its yours? I was at friends B&B next to where you were parked. Was looking out to see you but you had disappeared before I could come out and say hello. Number 247/500, F reg, can't remember the rest of the number. ------------- [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1a1.jpg">[IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1b1.jpg"> |

That was me...... 
I was actually down there for the Lancia Integrale London to Brighton run. Don't know if you were there on the Saturday, but there were about 100 odd Grales parked on Madeira drive. Shame about the crappy weather though. Should have taken the Grale....but wanted a fighting chance of getting back home on Sunday under my own power.....

Hi Darren, If I'm not mistaken, didn't you used to have a black E30 M3 - and live out near Hungerford way? If it's you - I'm the chap that brought the EvoII brochure off you a couple of years back...... couldn't stay away eh from them eh.....?
Paul..... As for the Grale looking dated........ouch.....I'll take the reliability jibe......but you have to admit that they still look pretty damn sexy......and when she's going well......oooooooooo mummmaaaahhh.... nothing else has ever made me grin as much........

Any pic's of the Grale... I love these cars as well as the Audi Quattro Trubo's.
I just think that boxed arches look really cool on certain cars ------------- http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e30/sportevo.html" rel="nofollow - E30 M3 Sport Evo III |

Dave, I used to have one of the last of the integrale's a bright yellow one, Its was great......when it was running right, but that wasn't for long, loads went wrong with it, so it's long gone. Also I thought mine was a rare one, untill I saw how many there were lurking around Brighton the other day! Give me an old Nova Sport with the twin 40's fitted anyday! ------------- [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1a1.jpg">[IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1b1.jpg"> |
Yes, I am sure I'd still have it if it was reliable as I did love the shape.

Hi Dave, Yep that was/is me  .
Bought the Evo 2 probably some 6 months or so after I sold you the brochure - typical eh? Missed the old `87 M3 so picked up another but I bought one as a bit of a project. 2 years later it is improved but still a bit of a project. Its a more solid car now (rust removed - it is a UK spec car) but now the running problems need to be sorted. It`s bit jumpy (missing?) when cold or warm -it seems to surge a bit when oil at 50 when cruising (it slows slightly then surges forward to resume normal speed). When hot it runs fine but the idle is 1200+. Idle moves from 1200-1500 and drops back again before repeating. It stopped doing this for a while after fitting an ICV but it still idled too high. Now it goes from 1200-1500 again. Sorry, a bit off topic but if anyone has any ideas? I have a spare ECU to try and I`ll try that soon as I get a chance -------------

Air leaks from hoses around the ICV, leaking around the O rings that join the plenum to the throttle bodies?
Maybe your rubber boot that joins the plenum to the air flow meter has a split in it, mine did and my mechanic said it was common. It was split underneath so you couldn't see it until it was taken off during a service.

Welcome The Sport Evo had Nogaro silver centers, the Cecotto and Ravaglia had Black centers. ------------- [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1a1.jpg">[IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1b1.jpg"> |

Welcome, Kiko. And the answer's 'neither', I'm afraid. My EvoII has got it's original 16" wheels on and they are all one colour. I think that the Nogaro centres were specific to the Sport Evos. Hope this helps, B73 Edited to add: Ah, Sheps beat me to it! ------------- B73 '88 M3 EvoII '03 M3 CSL |

IMO that's one impressive garage line up you have there and would love to see pics of them 
as for the grale looking dated  , shame on you for even letting that thought cross your mind.
