Is this a pair? Keen if you can post to chch.

Failed a wof years ago on ground clearance.  Checked tire pressures and they were at 20psi.  Pumped them up and passed the re check no probs.  Not really the same issue tho.

Anyone wrecking a TI in CHCH area? I need a tailgate for a 99 316ti.

Ideal colour would be  SIENAROT 2 METALLIC although i'm not picky

So I'm pretty heavily invested in my m20 stroker engine build.  I have 85mm Mahle forged pistons M52B28 crank Schrick 272 cam and valve springs and IE heavy duty rockers.  I had kinda overlooked the fact my donor engine does not have the original 885 head but instead has the aftermarket AMC head.  There is plenty on the interwebs bagging the head due to the port design and finishing.  The ports are pretty rough from the factory casting & machining.  On the other hand companies selling the AMC head state they are a solid base for race applications.

Has anyone had experience with these heads good or bad?  Should I clean up the ports and carry on or find a genuine 885 head for my build?

I should say I'm building the engine as a solid engine for my daily driver that might see the odd open day at the track once a year.

They're 17x7.5 et41 I think they will go ok on the e30 with 5 stud conversion.  May need to space them out a little.

Cheers.  I ended up getting the 316 for a good price.  I don't know if they are the original wheels for a 99 316ti but they look like the correct fitment.  I haven't taken the wheels off to see the specs on the inside of the wheel but my guestimation is they would be 17x7.5 et35ish  They certainly have less dish on the lip compared to the et20.

After 17 inch wheels style 5 in E36 offset.

Preferably in south island.

I can get some scuffed ones in chch but they're attached to a 316

What are good ones worth these days?

Cheers I'm running E36 M3 brakes also so I really need to check they fit before I get them shipped anywhere.  Already purchased some 16's that didn't fit I'm not in a rush so I'll see how it goes.  GLWS

Are your guards rolled at all to fit that offset on the E30? What front suspension are you running?  I would be keen but I'm a bit far from the tron.

Are they 16" wheels, would they fit over 98 M3 brakes?

Are the front brake discs "evo" M3 315x28? If so what is the remaining thickness?

Did you buy these? I want some for my E30 (once it is 5 stud converted)

WTB E30 Facelift rear door passenger side. Diamantschwarz preferable. Located in chch.

I'm just getting it together so if you can jump in if you're quick. PM me what you are after including part numbers.

Sweet the more the merrier.

Maybe PM me what you want and I'll get the order together. I probably want to be placing the order next week some time.

Project is finally gaining some momentum so I'm doing an order for Ireland Engineering. Does anyone want to go in together to share freight costs?

I would be interested in the wheels if they sell separately.

PM'd

OK thanks. Still interested, no rush.

So 6 or 7 weeks later I have some good news! I have had the fines for no reg or wof have been waived. So I wrote in explaining that I the car was only on the street because I was doing some doing some maintenance on my other car for a wof and that the offending car was put back in the garage immediately after getting the fines. I then had to get a neighbor to sign a letter confirming that the car was off the street.

So all in all not too much effort but a little stress and inconvience to save $400. I would rather avoid having to deal with the bastards at all in the future so I think I would rather play it safe and stick to the rules.

Would the struts happen to have ABS mounts drilled? How much for them?

PM'd re cylinder head.

Keen on the cylinder head. You need to clear out your PMs!

I guess you'd be Ok if the car was on a trailer out on the road. Assuming of course that the trailer had a WOF and rego

That is genius. If only I had a trailer.

HI all

I have a couple of E30's at the moment and I'm about 3/4 through swapping the engines between the two. I have a 320I with body in pretty good nick that I'm putting a M20 2.8 stroker in. So i have pulled the engine out of this car and have the reg on hold and the wof has since lapsed.

I pushed the car on to the street outside my house while I have been working on the donor car in the garage. Since the car is on the street with no reg or wof the council (chch) have stung me with a $400 fine. Am I completely in the wrong here or can I do something about this. I will write a letter and explain the situation since I think this is pretty rough considering I have paid up reg and wof on the donor car and my daily. its not like I'm driving around with no reg or wof.

I'd like to hear your thoughts if anyone has been through similar situation before. I'm hoping they will be reasonable if they consider the situation.
