  1. If you are going to pull the headliner out thats the hardest part done, it only takes a little bit of your weekend to do it. I retrimed my back speaker panel roof and pillers and it cost me under $70, just a bit of food for thought.
  2. engine has done its ks although i have rebuildt the head recently. just wouldnt last very long if it was turbo'd
  3. the engine is still driveable but it has done high ks and is showing its age. If i was to turbo it im sure itl wouldnt last though the week. Whats the contact for the wrecker? cheers
  4. buget not yet just wanting prices or other peoples rebuild prices. more info i can get the more it helps thats all.
  5. oh opps sorry guys its a m50 non- vanos 2.5l engine
  6. Hey guys well my engine has had it I think. Its time to find a new engine or rebuild the one I currently have. Im thinking about future plans on the bmw (turbo charging it ) if I went and rebuilt the engine what are cheap mods? Should I full rebuild it or just get new piston rings and hone the bore? How can I lower the compression without getting new pistons. Im going to run low boost not looking for something insane!! Would the standard engine handle 6-10psi? Can I use different conrods to lower compression? Also how do the injectors and fuel pump hold up factory, also whats the airflow meter like? Cheers any help would be most grateful.
  7. how bout exhust systems and lsds? also strut braces?
  8. Who done the exhaust system how much did those extractors set you back? With the custom intake im just running a KnN pod filter with a heat shield and cold air feeder pipe from the bumper to it. Im not to sure what kind of flywheel is in it, so also unsure of how much to skim off it. Is your engine the non- vanos one to? Have you thought about lumping the cam sharfts anymore?
  9. hey guys ive always wondered what was all the differances between the motorsport and the standard e36 bmw. I own a 1992 325i manual, if i had a motorsport one what are the differances in these? ive been told many things who can clear it up for me. is there any engine work? cheers
  10. Hey guys if you guys remember i had to rebuild the top end of my car due to head warping, that’s all done now!! thinking of needing more power!!! its manual it has a KnN pod and cold air shield. Now for every mod a good and neg thing happens right? I was thinking of, single exhaust off the exhaust manifold maybe a 2 or 2 ½ piping with cat delete. Also chipping, lsd, grinding the cams and lighting the flywheel. Also the adjustable suspension. Has anyone lighted the flywheel? If so how much have you taken off? Weighed my car which weighs 1420ish kgs. But that’s has twin sub box and 17inch 235mm wheels. Easy weight reductions? Anyone done the fan delete is it worth it? Whats peoples thoughts? Cheers
  11. as title says what kind of steering rack fuild would my 1992 e36 need? cheers
  12. found out my coil has died so its missing pretty bad. does it need to get the same ones which are currently in the car? or can i run some other types? also does anyone have some spare ones? cheers oh its for a e36 325i 1992

    Head gaskets

    hey i think i will fix my non vanos 325i e36. there is a huge differance in prices for these kits. cheapest being SD european $310 +gst, bmw Rotorua $600ish and Repco for some reason $748. is there a cheaper place?
  19. ok so is it a good trade off? or rather stick with the non vanos?
  20. yeah very true whenn my 325i was sick the dealer gave me a 318i to drive wow was it slow, and it being auto was boaring
  21. so they are not the hassel buying right?
  22. just after the head mate, or a 2.5-2.8 vanos engine
  23. hey guys wondering if its worth doing this change? my m50 1992 325i engine has done the head gasket sadly, but i was wondering if i replaced it with a 1994 325i vanos engine i might be able to get my hands on. what kind of work is needed to do this? mine is also manual do the engines mount the same on the box? ill also have to change the loom and ecu right? also will it be worth this work or should i just do the head again on my car and carry on.
  24. oh sh*t my bad, didnt relise that.
  25. hey has anyone got one of these sitting around? its for a 1992 bmw cheers
