E30 325i Rag-Top

M20b25 is 171bhp from factory. You would need to do quite a bit to get that over 200. Headers and exhaust would be quite high up my list as they limit the breathing of the engine.

Pm'd you Luke

That thing is butt ugly. 4.4ltr could be an M5 engine, but only if it were a few years younger and had a couple of turbos strapped on the top of it. However, if you had that kind of power in that thing it would pull it apart in seconds. Never understood the thing with Morgans, not good to drive (horrible wobbly wood chassis that does all sorts of funny things when you try and push it) over priced, out-dated and a ridiculously long waiting list because their production methods were so badly designed!! I'd rather a high-powered Westfield or Caterham for a better drive for much less money.

Couldn't make a 5 GT look any worse.. Hope she pays up - you've done her a favour!

Yup still there, upto $9k now..

Most trailer places these days have the switchable tow coupling, so suit both sizes - so you should be OK with the 50mm And anyway the size doesn't matter apparently...

Now the site is on this new fandangled server, is the gallery function able to be used?? Any ideas how to use it?

Yes, I think you're right, 3.2ltr with the 6-speed box. Nowhere near as good a condition as this car.

Still there this morning, just over $2k now https://touch.trademe.co.nz/listing/view/709320659 What did you trade it in for Nigel?

Not sure if there is any interest on here, but thought I would put these out there before the hassles and fees of TradeMe or eBay... All mint, never been out of boxes, certificates, outer boxes, etc. 2005 Bathurst Winner HRT Tander/Kelly $650 2006 Bathurst Winner Betta Electrical Lowndes/Whincup $600 2007 Bathurst Winner Vodafone Lowndes/Whincup $550 2008 Bathurst Winner Vodafone Lowndes/Whincup $500 Only selling as I need the cash to finish my E30 race car. Will be having clear out of E30 spares soon as well if there is anything you are looking for keep your eyes posted.

You forgot to put the punctuation at the end.. VB mate See..

I bet the idea of a "contract" is looking very appealing right about now...

If it's a diesel then it's practically a farm vehicle, so a tow bar is compulsory ? Not so much on a ti Compact. There is also another world of fail in the photo - have a closer look up on the roof!

I guess there are lots of things you can do with shocks / springs sub-frames, etc. but I thought the E21 chassis is the limiting factor? Although knowing you and Ray there will be a few plans in mind already.

Cool project, but I have to say you are brave if you are going to give an E21 that kind of power! Even the standard 323i had a tendency to fly off the road when pushed, let alone with all those extra horses trying to get out.

What's wrong with this picture, so much fail here... If this a member on here... you should know better!

Whoa, hold your horses you parts picking vultures! Dan has forgotten he's going to offer me the whole car for restoration first !!

Ooh, this schizz is gonna get real.. I predict much hilarity and embarrassed council workers!

Pretty sure Driftit snapped up the whole car.

Unless the private property owners give permission? My Mrs Tyler was nabbed at Botany shopping centre and I had to sort out the rego on-line while she was on the phone to me. Not sure if that is council or private??

Look up definition of a road for NZ, it includes car parks. So the council can issue wof and rego notices as you are on a "road" but not parking fines. Very fine hairs to split, but that's what lawyers do.

What sort of time frame are you looking at? How soon do you want to buy. Oh, and rough budget?

Yes, and yes. The colour has been re-formulated, so it has been deliberately changed to be a "new" colour by altering the mix of tints in the paint. I guess the original colour names are used as a reference to where the colour originated from and that the new colour is very similar? This is very different to the variations that you can get across the same colour through the painting process, often referred to as "variants" in the OEM world. Even the most accurate paint mixing machine and tester in the world cannot differentiate colour as well as the human eye can - and unfortunately things can change enough from one batch of paint to the next. When I was supplying painted assemblies for HiLuxes out of Thailand most colours had three variants "active" at any one time, and at one point there were five variants of the black. What a nightmare to try and mix-and-match!!

VW Amarok? Ok as a truck, I hear Great Wall are good value for money as well if you looking in that market segment. They probably have a manuel version as well. One cheap pre-pro that goes on TradeMe for a week (not sells in a week) isn't scientific proof of anything.

An E90 Touring is pretty rare
