do a search there has been a couple done in the past. Its a big job though, not just a case of mounts and a driveshaft.

Im heading up on Sunday I think

Like i said on the previous thread.... I wouldnt take the risk with the rust issues cars have in the UK. Have a look at the used car sites in Japan. I own a UK import e30 and there are rust holes in all sorts of awkward places.

Pure Awesomeness

You didnt just leave the engine at TDC on number 1 cylinder then set all the valves without turning the camshaft did you?

Im pritty sure John (e30ftw) took his to BMW and they pressed them out for him. He will be able to confirm.

If the "Pump, hold, unscrew, tighten, release" doesnt work then what other way is there?

This has happened to me every time I have tried to bleed the clutch. I made a vacuum setup using a glass jar. Take the vacuum off the Inlet manifold at the back above the rocker cover. Just drill the appropriate sized hole in the lid and make sure its a tight fit. Also have the vacuum pipe up near the top so the fluid doesn't go through the engine. It works perfectly. I got the pipe from Mitre 10. Take the bleed nipple with you to get the right size. Heres a quick paint diagram lol

You turned it down??? That could buy about two E30s lol

Ive met him to through a mates dad that races a Saloon and hes just a normal kiwi guy. Thats awesome that he went to the funeral and had his car sign written. Shame about the circumstances though.

What engine does the car have?

My car has a slight miss under acceleration when it gets warm. It gets worse the longer I travel and when the car cools back down again its fine. I have checked the dizzy cap, rotor and plugs and they are all fine and were replaced less than 6 months ago. I also cleaned out the AFM. Its got me stumped and its really annoying.

Theres no need to get a new clutch kit if it was working fine when it came out of the donor car. It could be done as preventative maintenance but its not essential.

Is the shifter linkage the same length?

E30 m3 aerials look cool coming out above the front windscreen

280,000 on my 87 320i 160,000 miles on my 85 323i

22-24 Jan

Me and my dad are planning on going up for the Sunday. I cant wait to see what all the fuss is with the new track

I think EBC do a pad that they say produces less dust.

Heres a pic of my old Herald i had up untill a year ago. It was my first car and i still miss it abit haha

lol coming from the guy with a 318 auto

Has the engine been removed recently? The pipes that go to the heater core may have been put together the wrong way around.

One of my Dads mates just got one and they are gutless. Servicing will be the same as most euro places... Expensive!

Overpriced for an auto 325i

2280s are tough as! I couldnt kill mine untill it met the washing machine lol
