As per title have a set of style 94s for sale off of an e65 735li all four are 18x8 et24 have some small curb marks on three of the wheels, would tidy up nice if it bothered you. Selling as have gone down to a 17 to save on tyre prices 18" race tyres aren't cheap... No tyres just the rims $450 Can ship nation wide, also can supply new tyres if needed also
-
what's the engine worth assuming its non vanos?
-
twin cam engines are a good option go really well in a little car but if you get a single cam the head gasket is only like a two hour job so all a pretty good option
-
head gasket will normally just leak a bit of oil normally along the front which will tend to fall on the exhaust manifold giving of that lovely oil burning smell, worst case which I only ever saw twice it would leak on to the cambelt causing the belt to go soft and break but that was extreme cases of neglect. Water pumps aren't any worse than normal cars they can get a bit noisey but never seemed to collapse
-
The single cam engines get leaky head gaskets and water pumps. Also the autos can give valve body issues other wise pretty good cars
-
Some better shots of the new wheels
-
Ya poor cars going to get some abuse. Will stay road legal also just need to decide which engine set up to go with then itll come apart
-
Was pretty straight foreward, same as a wof check but they measure the brakes to make sure they are in spec and need to see the mounting points for the seatbelts so you just need to remove the interior. Inspectors are making good money on it they only had my car an hour and the inspection fee was $300. You mainly track use too? I started doing some drift days so bought the e36 as parts are a little easier to come by, was getting risky in the e30

Well i must have fallen and hit my head cause ive decided to do this again. I bought a cheap E36 325i coupe that someone had let the rego lapse and had been parked doing nothing for three years so i trailered it home from the Manawatu and got stuck in. When i got the car home found that it had a dead fuel pump. Got it running with a new one and found the vanos to be rattliung away so thats on the to do list. Checked over the car for the re-vin check all that was needed was new brakes all round, two tyres and the wing mirror i collect the garage door with. $300 later it was back in the sytem. Now that its got its WOF, the work continues. Replaced the rear brakes with a vented rear disc setup, and had a 330 brake setup left over from my e30 build with some slotted rotors so they went on. Also still have a Z3 rack left lying around so thatll go in soon. Auto box got the boot and got a Getrag swap with an LSD diff swap. Quite a noticable size and weight difference The plan is to cage it and give it some track day abuse so the interior got the bin. Ill need to remove the airbags and abs as i wont be needing those. Was sitting too high so coilovers will get in sitting where id like it. Before After Painted the tail lights to hide the ugly cracks that where starting to show. Not a big fan of the wheels bit small and offsets a bit high so decided some 5 or 7 series wheels would do the trick. Decided on some style 94s off an E65 735i which are 18x8 in a 24p front and rear. Guard clearance is a bit... well there's none so they'll need a small bit of work to avoid rubbing. Bumpers will get swapped for motorsports when i get around to painting them. I have a T3/T4 turbo setup that i cant decide if i should put on, as the original plan was to go down the V8 route. So until i can decide which way to go ill leave it. Will update when i can be bothered doing anymore work
-
Nice work, have you decided what size turbo you're going to run?
-
I cut and shortened mine when I did my swap, was 40-50mm from memory
-
how much you want for the door and guard side trims?
-
I'm interested to know what it weights in at. Ive just bought the same model to do the same thing good cars to start with
-
as per title after an m20 flywheel and starter to go on an m50
-
I bought a set from them, good quality I was happy with them
-
Also have a crank and rods, pistons too if needed $220 incl freight
-
Man i was hoping for a rematch haha my new projects underway soon, whats the e30 plans?
