  3. So the car is sorted now, got a new clutch and flywheel, went with a single mass.. and wow the power I was loosing is insane, one of those things, you don't really realise until it's fixed. I also recently spend a couple hours in the garage and changed the PCV valve, wasn't as hard as the guys had made it out to be, haha now they owe me a box of beers! Have also recently upgraded suspension to a set of coilovers.. And now only one more thing to add to my list is fixing my rocker cover gasket leak... She also got a full cut, polish and wax 2 weekends ago The lastest project was also turning our future family wagon (E46 330i touring) into a manual version of it's former self, bigger task then we had anticipated, but thanks to Juned at Manukau Vehicle Servicing, we are all sorted and now the E46 is a car we love to drive.
  4. Cool thanks. No plans for cams/headers/intake at this stage. I mean I would love to... but the budget doesn't stretch that far at the moment Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  5. Hmm yes it's a road car, daily driver. before I got it 4.5 years ago the clutch had apparently been done but I have no proof of that, and to be fair they could have done it a long time before selling it. Will research more options and put my order on hold Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  6. Clutch kit hasn't arrived yet still time to change Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  7. Cool thanks yeah she's done 210,000 kms. Is there a solid flywheel conversion? Pros and cons?Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  8. Hey guys, I have just ordered a clutch kit minus the flywheel, as there isn't much life left in my clutch anyway, it have just ordered a standard clutch kit - nothing special, however, I have no idea what the condition of the current flywheel is so I'm wanting to look at flywheel options. Car is: 328i E36 M52B28 I have been told that you can get the flywheel skimmed, but have also been told that because it's a dual mass flywheel you can't get it skimmed... So just wondering what my options are and what you recommend? I don't want to spend a ton of money, however, if the clutch is being done, I might as well get it done right the first time. Also how hard is this as a DIY? - probably a stupid question, but have done 3 manual conversions - so I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and I'm always up for a challenge when it comes to cars/maintenance/repairs
  9. Was going to recommend the Meguiar's PlastX, they also have a Headlight Protectant available on their website or at www.smitsgroup.co.nz
  10. Thats exactly why i always write out 2 copies of a 'sales' agreement and get the new buyer to sign each copy..

    Clutch

    Well if it had been replaced I would say 80,000 or less. But if not 199,000km

    Clutch

    Thanks! (It's the E36 that needs it) It apparantly had a clutch done in it not long before I bought it, but the release point was always quite high. So I assume maybe the flywheel wasn't done at that time, if the clutch was actually even replace (no paperwork) Oh well, will be a fun job learning more about my car. Glenn what sort of alternative set up would you recommend?
  13. Why does everything go wrong at once?!

    Clutch

    Anyone know: a) how much a standard clutch kit is? and where I can get one from.. Mine has just started to slip, so thinking I had better do some research now and start getting the money together for it. I don't need anyone to install it, I have that part covered, and I'm not looking to upgrade to a high performance or anything. Thanks in advance.
