The standard race-car method is too run the hose into a breather bottle with a filter/breather on the top [the engine NEEDS to breathe] If there are any oil seperators [eg: mesh] in the line, leave them alone, unless you enjoy emptying a bottle every 20k's or so. Jazz make a neat little plastic breather bottle with a K&N filter on top [about $80.00] I've seen many 'Homo' methods used,oil drain back systems etc [all pressure is equalized, rocker cover, sump etc so it will never drain back any oil unless the engine gets switched off,or a pressure reduction is added :'a pump'] The factory placement of the vent should be adhered to [unless it's a Ford built by Poms,where they breathe from the crankcase 'directional' with crank rotation,and can empty the sump in one race]

If you want to do something less wank-wank, I'll swap it for a stock unit! Seriously though any factory or OEM performance parts are more desirable than aftermarket parts.[wheels being the exception to this rule] your car looks really great
-
You might have to import a russian hottie to read it for you haha! Seriously is it? My E36 manual is in English. Register on Bimmerforums.com [its huge, they have sub groups for all models] give them a sob story about the Bentley manual not being available in New Zealand [Ask for a download?] someone will help

Hey Mate, I'd just about pay you to come drinking with me [we need more people with a sense of humour in Tauranga] But as I'm 200km's away, my liver is safe [thats my cheapskate excuse anyway]

I'm Kerry, I tried to make a small fortune out of 'MOTOR RACING', so I started with a large one [fortune] Heres a photo of me about to take my friends dad on a religious experience [make him pray for his life] [the car is historic,hence the original drivers name on the door]

I Don't know your car at all. But it sounds like the syptoms of a car that has been lowered TOO MUCH, Have You? Semi Trailing arms have inherant faults that come out when they are not operating thru their normal range of movement If this is the case, there are a few simple mods that can help the situation Let me Know!

Yeah ,I used them to build a clutch that holds the 659ft/lb's of Torque on my race car [good guys,they know their stuff] LUK are perfect for a patch-up [repair] depends on useage/or budget
-
CHEAP EH! Kevin at ABC on the shore is the NZ importer . If the E36 was the same money ,You could buy some reasonable tools with the difference
-
I got friendly with some guys on Bimmerforums in the states, One of them gave me this site http://hosting.data.bg/bmw/BMW/E-Books/ I managed to download 92megs [756 pages] of a E36 Bentley Manual for FREE [try your luck on the E30] SHHHHHHHHH Don't tell anybody about this. Haha!
-
Try & Buy a LUK kit [Ring Kevin at ABC Auckland brake & clutch] you'll probably save enouugh money to but some tools!

HEY GUYS THANKS, Now I can finish wiring the inhibiter tonite & reassemble the trim [or have a quiet nite talking to my missus,"I doubt it"] The ID for my ZF Box is 15mm Again THANKS A LOT KERRY

Hey everyone I'm halfway thru my Manual conversion on my E36, I need to know either the dimensions [OD , ID & Width] or part-numbers on the side of the spigot bearing in the back of the crank of a M50 engine If anyone can help with these it will save me a lot of skinned knuckles [& obscenities] as my motor is still on the engine stand Thanks. . . . .Kerry

Exactly What I Said Before About Staff Recruitment

They have to be "E" marked for a WOF, get them made over here. $130 US is approx $213 + freight + GST they're getting up there
-
Yeah, stick it on ya baseball cap [21st century beanie cap] I wonder if it is compatible with the fuelmiser & the Turbo exhaust Tip? Done some number crunching, A 2000 cc engine breathing thru a 5" tube, with a blade at 45 degrees [the steepest before it creates drag]will have to turn over 40000rpm to spin that toy to 10k The vendor is a lying sack of sh*t!

Ever seen a Blonde that Owns a Beemer?

I Quoted "Pyramid Franchising" not Pyramid Selling! There is a very thin Legal difference,By direct selling it becomes legal. The commerce commision have deemed it to be a pyramid scheme when they are selling "positions" [in the pyramid]and there is no end market, Or if there is value added "down the Tiers"until nobody in their right mind will buy the product.
-
Waste of time, Half the drivers here in Tauranga can't see in the Daytime. I've got night vision on my car [they are called headlights, you have to turn them on though!]
-
Patch it! It's cheaper. Surface grind the flywheel, surface grind the pressure plate, And buy a new clutch plate [or reline it, slightly thicker to take up whats been ground off the p/plate] Note dual mass clutches don't have springs in the clutch plate
-
OK mate, What you do is : (1) Clean the product with 'Wax & Grease' remover that car painters use [it's very safe on most vinyls etc] (2) Soak the product [to be painted] with M E K [Methylethylketone], dont rub in to hard,as this sh*t disolves vinyl [gets you wasted as well] (3) Paint the product [any vinyl paint aerosol will do], it will need 48 hours to dry right through [vinyl paint uses M E K as an propelllant] I have painted vinyl with this method before, and seen the new colour soak right through the vinyl Hope this helps KERRY

Amway is slightly higher up the food-chain to "Kirby" Vacuum cleaners, Both companies spend their advertising budgets on 'Staff Recruitment' instead off selling their products. Both use 'Satellite' companies to disguise themselves [to get an initial introduction] eg: Homecare Systems, BSI etc. Warning: There is a New "Pyramid Franchising" scam on the scene that promises riches, it called "PHOTOMAX", what they are selling is a computerised 'website' photo library [this will trap the Gadget Boffins] + the opportunity to stitch-up your friends I'd rather store my photo's on disc!
-
There are a few electrical issues,[starter inhibiter, reverse lights, cruize control & fast idle] Hey I'm a Carb & Points Man, thats just getting into EFI etc & I've figured it out. If this conversion is too risky for you, sell your car & buy a manual [if you decide to go ahead with it, I'm only an email & phone call away if you need help] Regards Kerry
-
I sent you an email with a contact phone number of a guy with a complete conversion for sale on tues 1/8/06 . I was talking to Simon today, he said nobody has called him to date [you obviously can't be too interested!]
