Happy birthday Rog, Hope Taupo's treating you well and the Nissan's still going

Welcome, pics please

Find out what make the hard drive is and get their drive format and rescue program. You should then be able to start from scratch again.

We have red ebc's in one car, but at 4 x the cost, they don't seem that much better? In saying that, they do stop the car slightly better I think, but hard to really measure.

Happy birthday The Gus, have a couple for me.

I guess Ken's topic on hobies started this. Guess I'd rather collect cars than stack mugs. Is it possible to have too many, and is it unhealthy to have too many? I'm starting to get funny looks when people ask how many Bmw's I have and I have to admit to having just bought number 16. It's a very tidy looking white 4 door manual 318i, 1988, sorry Andy. I still have 13 of them in the family, 1 x 323, 2 x 320's, and 10 x 318i facelifts, 7 of which are manuals, and 3 are race cars.

Yeah, I'm with you Gus, we have race pads on one car and std BMW on the other, both E30 318's, and don't feel a lot of difference to be honest. Maybe to do with the cars being reasonably light, and having pretty efficient brakes anyway?

Short answer, no.

Depends on diff, if 4.1 then about $400 maybe, if not 4.1 then maybe $200 if lucky, not much demand for 4 doors.

You gotta be kidding

Nah, E30 fit, 4x100.

Such words of wisdom, a pity others don't always recognise this. Good on ya

Am I missing something, or don't you just use the m20, engine, loom and ecu and remove the full 318 setup?

I think it's a bit of pen-'is' envy or compensation?

You get it back when you turn 65. Only exceptions are for first home, leaving the country permanently, and dire emergencies, whatever they are. It's free money, go for it.

Just up the road then and so do I.

Might be some hope yet then?

Hey, cut it out and behave you 2 young whipper snappers.

Saw that, they have cam belts, not chains.

Must be in reasonable cond, pm with price if anyone's got one for sale? Thanks.

not there sorry.

Not certain, but don't see why not if you had all the bits. See it all here. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=66&fg=20

Hey, I've got gloveboxes without locks if you want to do it again, free.

Hi, should have been a bit clearer, the things I've listed are about all that are worth taking, the lights are all off it and the grill's gone as well. all panels and under body are there, as well as the interior etc. Driver's door is hanging, hinges rusted off. Body's pretty rough.
