  2. M50B25 would be straight forward, you already have the right gearbox if it's a Getrag240 manual, gearbox sits on the correct angle for the m50 motor in an e30.
  3. What are you looking to spend? A M50/M52 swap is pretty straight forward, if you wanna keep it BMW..

    1990 SA 325i

    I have brand new wheel bearings if you need one, 1 front and 1 rear. Hit me up if you need one, Pretty straight forward to replace, you just need some big sockets. What P Plate did ya get? And did you wire up that Maplight mirror?
  6. You can shorten them by how much shorter the actual spring length is. The captive part applies to both front and rear, if a front shock is too long, the shock can extend so much that the spring sits inside top mount and strut loosly. To shorten the shocks you need to take them to an engineer who can cut then machine a new end on the shock. They will shorten the insert part, then lathe / machine and tap thread on the end so it matches how the top was before it was cut (so you can attach the top mount on again). I used to get them done at a local auto engineer for $40 each, length cut should not matter as it involves the same amount of work cutting it and then re-machining the tip.
  7. You should shorten them for a couple reasons, Mainly to stop the shock bottoming out and also to keep the spring captive (Like when you raise the car, the shock does not extend out so long that the spring ends up loose in the perch) Depends on how much lower though. Up to an inch or two is usually fine. e30 stock height vs super lows is like a 3" + drop and you would definitely need shortened shocks.
  8. Another thing you can see hes bypassed the heater core. He also says it doesn't work. Maybe it leaked at some stage and he's gone and bypassed it? There's always something dodgy with even the seemingly well maintained. Heater core replacement is a hell of a job too as the dash needs to come out. That's if you ever wanted to fix it..
  9. It's not an M325i its just a 4 door e30 325i with added M-tech2 kit etc, It's not mint but reasonable.. I'd go 4.5k - 5k max considering it's only auto
  10. 9500rpm redline? an m20?
  11. I have a pair of rear half-shafts I may keep as spares, but they are from an ABS rear end e30. Hard to find a definitive answer - Do the ABS shafts fit into NON-ABS rear hubs? Anyone got some that they can compare?

    BUMP!!!!!!!
  13. Lol https://www.facebook.com/groups/hustlelive/...tal_comments=25
  14. There does look to be a cert plate on the left strut tower. It needs better photos though. There was another e30 m50 on there just recently for only $6300 looked quite tidy, bronzit. I guess someone snapped it up or the auction ran out. *edit - wait no here it is! http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-599871286.htm
  15. His was m52, tech2 and pretty sure he parted it out. Unless it's the shell of it.

    The bastard child.

    The facelift e30 tank has 2 level senders, as the tank is separated around the driveshaft - Pre facelift had a pipe connecting the 2 halves at the bottom but the facelift one does not, so uses 2 level senders to read the level and I believe syphons fuel to the pump side somehow, or maybe theres a transfer pump on that side

    E30 bits and pieces

    It's a center, whatever diff you put it in will be what ratio it is. In other words you could grab any medium case open diff and have the ring gear swapped onto the LSD center and put back into the diff to make it an LSD..
