I could not say no at that price to be honest bud. I have no idea what size the trumpets are but I am not fussed as I will probably change them anyways for some polished brass ones ;). Here's my old man's stroker we built with the same ITB's.

bought some ITB's for my e30 Stroker build. Now to get my spare head ported and polished and some oversized valves fitted. Will be running a 292 cam with oversize eccentrics and heavy duty rockers. Not sure whether to spend the money on a roller rocker conversion kit or put that money into some custom pistons for higher compression

Yeah the cheaper material didnt look/feel as nice, the better one is identical to stock (if not plusher).

He says he's got cheaper material for $240 if I drop in the headliner. I'll see how the materials compare and decide. I've actually had few quotes now all around 200-300ish mark for drop in service. Don't know what sort of fabric they are using though.

Called it 😁

Nah, he mentioned hes done heaps of them with sunroofs though. I pulled in and opened the door, he looked at the 130 and said "Headliner?"

You're thinking of brake pad wear sensors

You'd want to run the the 323 diff if its the manual 3.07 ratio. Should be able to use swap 330ci output flanges into the 323i diff.

Nice one SJ, dude was practically giving them away at that price! What size are the trumpets? I reckon pistons over roller rockers.

Got its own rap song too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYaIFvRqv2k

Or buy my Merc 190E manual for sale, open to offers Way more uncommon than an E30 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/mercedes-benz/190-e/listing/4906738493

Did a run from Wellington to Havelock using the Gentle Annie route, if you have not driven this road I highly recommend, superb !

Because when you’re looking at buying an E30 practicality is high on the list of “must haves” 🫠 Only thing better, apart from the boot, in a Compact than an E30 are the engines.

Yuuuuur from the research I've done: My OEM 318 is 22.2 / 20.6 330 is 23.8 / 22.2 E46 M3 is 25 / 20 with MK20 ABS and 25 / 22 with the MK60 (these look like approximate sizes, likely 1" in reality etc) So I'll likely have a look around once I know what sort of front to rear size ratio will work best for my setup. Have located TRW M3 for a non insane price Printed off a rotor hat so i can do more fitment mockups / validation, only just fit on my printer bed and took about 16 hours !! I then added a portion of the rotor and glued them together ... too keen to get it glued up and neglected to ensure it was nice an square so may turn out to be of limited use 😕 Might do another one for the other side over the weekend and ensure i do it properly. Picked up the result of my thinking cap time also and am really pleased with how these worked. This was to validate more accurately (than my 3D printed 'jig') what i had measured with my laser level. What I'm measuring here are the offset front to back as well as depth of the caliper mounting holes in the knuckle vs the centre. Attached is my high tech engineering drawing if anybody wants to replicate 😆 Worked out really well, and proved the 3D printed jig was only about 0.2mm out front to back !! From memory there was a previous 1mm variation between the laser measurements and the 3D printed jig also. Shout out to James Simpson Engineering who turned these for a very reasonable in 2024 $40. I should point out that while the 3D printed jig was a good fit when on the car it was essentially impossible to measure the 'as built' dimensions of the plastic part. I'm being pretty particular here as I'm in no hurry.

Not defending, just proving you completely wrong.

Not mine. But the wife's. Just rebuilt the gearbox and got it up to scratch for her.
