Got my manual box, but still need the pedal box for my conversion, 89 318i E30. Can anyone help please?

I did get a 4 door, but also a 2 door coupe, Sucker I guess, got 740 as well, Bought the 4 with a blown motor, changed that and found the box stuffed, so changed that and have it running now, but missing a bit at low revs, might have a vacuum issue somewhere, or maybe a high tension lead problem? Have started gutting the 2 door, getting ready for the cage, still have to do the manual conversion as well, have the gearbox, need a pedalbox. Cheers.

Hi, have removed the dash, and am getting ready for the roll cage, hopefully next week. Trying to remove all the tar on the floor so my cage man can get at everything, then on to stripping the headlining out. Shouldn't be as bad as the dash I hope. Reckon I've taken 90 kgs of carpet, tar and sound deadening out of the cab already. Cheers.

C'mon guys, I think you're biased, just cause it's a 740 doesn't mean we can't have a bit of fun?

Thanks, excellent site.

Hi, anyone know a good article on removing the dash from an 89 318i on the web? Cheers.

Thanks, just had a look, can't see it, do you know the link, or auction number? Cheers.

Hi, still looking for a full manual box conversion kit for a 318i m40 facelift, Thanks.

Who needs Trademe anyway, give me Bimmersport anyday, thanks Conrad.

Looking at the news tonight you won't get north at the moment?

If you turn off at Waiouru you're best to go thru Tauramanui and Otorohanga and join back north of Hamilton, otherwise if the Desert Rd is OK, turn off at Turangi and go up the Western side and rejoin at Tokoroa, some nice roads that way. I Think.

Thanks for that, I take it those letters will be stamped or printed on the plate on the box? Cheers

Good luck, exactly which box am I looking for, I know the 6's don't fit, but do all the getrag 240's go behind the M40, because the box behind the M10's is a 240 also isn't it? Thanks.

Hi, Darren ain't got one either, anyone else?

Know anyone with a manual conversion kit anywhere? Cheers.

Hi, thanks, I think Andy's keeping his for future use, will check with Darren, Cheers.

Nice ain't it. Buy it did ya, see it's been withdrawn.

Yeah, it was off, but went back on fine, and all bolted back to the ring gear plate, but have no drive.

Hi, has anyone got the full kit for a manual conversion to a 1989 318i E30, and how much do you want for it. Thanks

If my torque converter was dry or stuffed, would that stop me getting any drive in foward and reverse? Thanks.

An idea, but how big a job is it, just done an engine swap in one of my 318's, how hard is it compared to that? Thanks.

The heater has packed a sad inside my E30 and dumped a load of water inside, can I stop the water from going there, I've disconnected the hoses on the firewall side, do I close them off individually, or can I connect them together? No heater doesn't faze me, but will it cause any problems with overheating etc. Thanks, David.

Thanks, tranny fluid is to top of dipstick, replaced the 3 torque conv bolts, linkage seems fine, I'm having that beer, Cheers.

Hi, bought an E30 318i with a cracked head, have fitted a new motor, and it's going, but I can't get any drive or reverse now, the new motor went in OK, is there something silly I might have done somewhere?
