i think bimmersport should confront them and ask them to bring in and stock E30 bits in there stores if they can stock heaps of japanese dizzy caps and that can at least hav them for the most popular bmw model

just my opinion

Ryan there is always the stealer.

the stealer are you kidding me!?

i dont really need it done i just thought it would save me from looking like a dick trying to start my car afterskool and it not start and plus i know it is going to hav to be done at some stage so i thought might as well do it now while im getting it serviced and a new battery

stealer is way too expensive for me, i only hav $7 for petrol this week lol

Have you got the price on one from the stealer? Do it if you havent, sometimes their prices aren't that bad. Some bits are even cheaper than what wreckers want for them.

i know it is about $110 for the rotor and about another 200- 300 for the cap

so i would rather be spending 400 odd dollars on somthing like lowering my car more or fixing my electric windows

if there is nothing wrong with the existing one, then why replace it.

Also Ryan, a bit of free advice, if you are running low on money, and have only got $7 for petrol, maybe you should keep the money you would spend on lowering and tinted windows for a rainy day, when the next thing goes wrong (and I can assure you something else will go wrong soon enough).

If there is one thing I have learned from 5 years of E30 ownership, is that something is always about to break, or breakdown (the ownership cost of an older car).

Cheers

Bimmerboy, if you you still want a Dist.Cap and Rotor, I can get a Bosch GB878 cap and a GB922 rotor for you.

You would be looking at $140 for the cap and about $85 for the rotor.(Probably less)These are Bosch and brand new.Prices are an estimate(not at work at the moment)but certainly not more than that.
