  1. Car is NZ new and imported from Germay by Mc Millans in 1994, the car spun a bearing, hence the $7k engine rebuild, with the engine out it was common sense to replace the clutch and presure plate, you will find that the engine builder was Taylor Automotive in Newmarket who rebuild BMW and other Euorpean Motors. Taylor's mention that there are two reasons as to why it would have spun a bearing, 1) not changing the oil, or 2) reving the motor when the oil temperture is'nt up to normal temperture.

    I'm not sure if you have been to see the car, but everything mentioned above is in the carglove box, other then telling you it was a spun bearing.


  2. Nah your right, it appears that it's common issue with the E30's that under the heat shield right at the back by the bolt hole, they rust around the stud. Not a biggie, about the size of a 20 cent piece, rust killed it and put a rubber grommit in it.. until I fix it properly.

    Now it has the Z3 Steering Rack in, it's arwsome :mosh:


  3. For the E30 M3 standard it's 19lbs Evo 2\3 it's 12 lbs, for track it's 8lbs and you get gearbox chatter, but for your's that light.... it will interesting to see the outcome of yours... more so from a standing start, i'm sure it will spool up quicker to redline, but comes at a price noisy gearbox. Let us know how it works out.
