  1. I'm looking for a cylinder head to fit face lift 325i with M20B25 engine, 885 stamping.

    I'm located in chch and would prefer to get one locally but am will organise freight if required.

    I travel to Dunedin reasonably often so can pick up from there or anywhere in between.


  2. Your spot on hybrid. I adjusted the tie rods out 2 turns each and after that the handling was much better. I was confident enough to drive to the wheel alignment place then. It was still out a fair amount by a fair amount which meant I was getting a bit of bump steer but the handling was predictable at least.

    Now after an alignment it is sweet as.

    Clearance between the steering linkage and the exhaust is concerning though on the lower part of the universal joint which attaches to the steering gear. It just clears when cold but was rubbing slightly after sitting in traffic on the way home. Might have to take a dremel to the joint.


  3. I just completed swapping out the e30 steering rack for a e36 rack. Have taken it for a quick test drive and the car feels almost scary to drive. Any slight turn of the steering wheel makes the car want to steer off the road.

    I'm not sure if this would be fixed with wheel alignment (which I have booked for tomorrow) or if there is some problem with the rack that makes it over sensitive. Maybe I connected the control lines the wrong way after I bent the pipes which is unlikely but possible.

    I also replaced the shocks with monroe gas shocks from Euro Italian. Is it possible that there is a difference in length of the shock that would affect the handling in this way?


  4. Hi I would be keen on a few things

    The main trim panel under the dash on drivers side inluding the plastic fasteners

    Small triangular trim on drivers door

    Dash mat

    Glovebox latch

    Trim that surrounds the interior door handles from all 4 doors depending on colour. Black?

    Hazard lights switch
