Thanks for the info I'll try get a hold of them, anyone feel like welding for a box or two of beers?
-
Unfortunately not, different diameter pipe & couplers.
-
I'm looking for a factory E36 M3 rear box, got the mid section already. Alternatively can anyone point me towards a good exhaust place / know a welder who could do me up a merge pipe to fit a universal, single entry muffler? Possibly remove the cats while they're at it? Out West Auckland preferably

I'm running "std" coilovers in my e36 and i can't fault them, adjustable rebound, rebuildable, body adjustable & cheap, what's not to like? Also they're made by greddy so you know the quality is good. I would recommend checking them out. Also they have measurements machined into the shock so adjusting the height accurately is a breeze
-
So I'm assuming they've sold? Please let me know if they haven't, cheers

E36 seen north bound on the southern motorway yesterday, had dealer plates. Love the wheels.
-
I'll keep it in mind, might keep mine and refurbish them. But I'm not sure I could handle all these spokes and chemical stripper! Would have to be a good price the $$ I've forked out on the brakes is still hurting the wallet
-
Having bought a bbk for the e36 I've found my wheels don't clear the calipers without spacers. I would be interested in swapping my style 32s for a set of these as they have better back clearance and should fit without a hitch. My wheels are 17x8 front and 17x9 rear.
-
Also have found this problem, have bought a bbk for my e36 but need to retain rear handbrake, any thoughts on this, I've found a few options, from machining the original disc to adapt it for a floating setup like so: To a kit from "massive brakes" in Canada, but he only sells kits and won't part with the specifically designed park brake ring he's developed (fair enough too with all that R&D) I've also found some wilwood factory options but am unsure on final fitment, still have to rip a wheel off and measure the internal diameter of the hand brake shoe. So does anyone have any ideas/ knowledge on the subject? The cert guy won't do hydro hand brakes for road cars so I need another option!

European auto spares have LOTS of wheels in stock, so whatever you do, don't buy straight off trademe through them. I was able to bargain them down $400 off the listed trademe price, for a full set of wheels. I figure if you're looking at spending that sort of money, buy the real deal, why buy replicas when you could spend a bit more and have the full monte. Imo style 359 look the part, style 351 are getting a bit over used/ lots of reps around. But that said each to their own.
-
Thanks for the offer but I've sourced one now
-
Bump... If anyone has set I could borrow I'd be indebted, money and or your choice of poison. Can leave something as insurance etc etc
-
Looking for either, any condition would prefer something that's free, ie run bearings etc. Only need it to measure and compare alongside a set of "hot cams" Don't want to fork out the cash on something that isn't the real deal. Yes I have looked at photos online but I would much rather something I can chuck a vernier caliper on and know for sure. So what have you got? Have to non vanos and better if they're proper f'd. Happy to pick up, need one/both by Saturday and can shell out a box of beers and or some cash. Located in West Auckland
-
Pretty similar, and damn they look good!
-
May also be interested.. Need to find me an E30 for them though
-
Would you consider selling the longblock without turbo, turbo kit and gearbox? Do you still have the factory ecu to go with the package?

I did some panel beating in the past, and it's all in the prep work, the more time you spend meticulously sanding and priming the better finish you will get with the final product.

http://bit.ly/1s23IFs There's the RealOem page for the above pic. My car was auto at some stage and it has that bracket although I'm not sure if it has been retrofitted.

Re installing the headers (if you do buy them). Make sure you take the engine out unless you're feeling like putting yourself through hell. I recently put them in on my own car and Bmw don't make things easy putting on the engine the 45! 4 bolts per cylinder makes for slow tedious work, oh and remember new exhaust gaskets too.
-
They're pretty hideous things.. have always thought they should have been rear engine similar to the AW11. Here's one in racing livery, looks a darn sight better than from the back.
