    I believe 3 angle valve cut is normal now, but you can also get the valves backcut which gives improved flow.
  3. Face lift or pre face lift, I have pre for cheap Alex. How much of it do you need, I also have a face lift 4 door shell.
  4. Hi, solid forgiving little cars. Serviced regularly should go forever almost. I've got a 318 manual race car, std spec almost, thrashed to the max and still hums, lots of things you can do to make them look the part as well.
  5. BMW open class would be the go I would have thought, racing at Puke on the 16, 17 of March, 2 weeks time, come and have a look.
  6. Be chasing this if I was you. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-90651253.htm
  7. Hi, the m40's take the reading from a sparkplug lead, would expect the M20's to do the same? If so its a small coil wrapped around one of the sparkplug leads with a wire which goes around the front of the motor and connects to the wiring loom under the intake manifold. possibly come unplugged at that point?

  8. pity you never learned to spell.
  9. Yes to all, see daigram here, http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=11&fg=35
  10. Yeah, the minute I blow one racing, I'll get in touch Kerry, always has to be one around aye.

    clutch kits

    Yeah, got one in one of my cars, seems fine, from memory I paid around $220 in NZ. My LuK clutch was made in Sth Africa.
  12. Only ever been stung once, had to pay GST and duty, I think it was around 15%. I've imported a lot of stuff over the $400 limit and most of the time it just comes straight thru. Luck of the draw I guess.
  13. Bottom corners on each side is a wire which cmes down and has a bolt thru it. Undo these and lift and the seat comes out.
  14. No GST or customs on items under $400, so what you pay plus shipping is your cost.
  15. far be it for me to argue with an amazon, oops, sorry, wrong continent.
  16. Wasn't Hi Tower the big black thick cop on Police Academy?
  17. The rear shocks we use in the e30 series cars require you to drill the top mount out to 1/2 inch, they are falcon adjustables, seem very good for our use. We use them in combo with super low rear kingsprings, they just stay captive.
  18. There's no answer because the auctions finished, so all questions are now visible.
  19. How long was it Andy, I've ordered the flux capacitor for my race car, figured time travel may win a few races. Guess the elbow grease is for Gus?
  20. Sorry guys, it's only a 92 318 and done 170k, manual or not it's probably not worth more than $4500, regardless of what you have to spend on it. I doubt a dealer would go past $3500 for it, if you had to sell, he might have it on his lot fot 6 to 7 but they all have negotiating room in their prices. Put it on trademe with a $1 reserve, doubt it would go to $4000. At the end of the day, give yourself plenty of time to sell, and be prepared to wait it out for the right person, you might get lucky. Only worth what someone's willing to pay. Good luck.
  21. OK, fixed the charge light, faulty alternator, who can tell me which oil sender does the oil light, the one on the filter or the one on the block? Cheers.
  22. Hey Mark, BP's much better than Mobil.
  23. Just done a rebuild on my 318, and when I turn the key on, the oil and charge lights don't come on at all. The car starts ok and the rest of the dash is working. Any ideas on what I have or haven't done, fuses seem fine. Thanks.
  24. Happy Birthday Cain, you young bugger.
