Mmmmmmmm

My diff seems to be happy as with just the 75w140 in it, doesnt chatter and locks up hard. Im using hybrids recommended redline cocktail in the 145k mile getrag 260 and it seems happy too. Redline FTW. Its only $14.95US quart, so if they are charging you more than 30 bucks kiwi your getting ripped

http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=134&pcid=4 ~$30 odd a quart from BNT.

THEDAZ E34 lives up the road from me, nice car. Wondering if its a member.

How much do you want for the rear seat (upper and lower)? Can possibly pick up in next few weeks.

2 door/4 door? Location? Chur

I have em in my E30 too, Liking them a lot. Lots of adjustability, seem to be well machined and anodised too. Really cant fault them for the price. Edit, the one issue I had with them was the pillow balls were quite tight, for the first couple of miles It would rather turn on the spring than the ball, but that seems to have fixed itself

Poor thing http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-341865721.htm

Didnt get the time to get my headers HPC coated during the swap, and after doing up all the exhaust nuts, removing them is not something I want to get into, getting them past the steering was higher priority than ease of install Ive never actually played with exhaust wrap, have heard iffy stories about corrosion though?! Anyone have any experience with it, I figure I could probably do it with the manifold on which would be a much easier way to keep the engine bay heat down... Specifically looking at this stuff http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....mp;#entry391503

Ha, I thought I saw dudlee down balmoral rd on monday arvo, was a few cars behind you, the M50 couldnt keep up to the mighty M10 though

Bump * 4 Spoke E30 steering wheel, good nick * E30 expansion tank, very tidy * M50/52 thermostat housing gasket - New (obviously) * New O rings etc for M50/52 oil filter (Big one, little one, and washer) * E34 M50B25 engine mount arms - Free. * Gasket for the casting around the camgears on a M50 (NV) 11-36-1-740-840 * Pair of E24/28 engine mounts, 2nd hand but good nick.

Front kit for PFL Make me an Offffffeerrrr If Anyone has mint E30 front screen, window rubbers, and shadowline trim Id consider swapsies. Also interested in PFL rear bumper, bonnet, RH Plastic inner gaurd, wiper relay, interior window trim (the shiny bits that snap..) if anyone wants to swap E30 Parts piles.

That is one spiffy looking m20.

I remember back in the day reading NZPC, as a young tool, when this thing was getting built. For an MR2, it was pretty friggin badass.

^ Will do. Anyone actually done it? I dont imagine it would take hours and hours of dyno time to do as it would be a (comparatively) simple map. Weighing it up on a bang for buck scale

Is it worth the dollars for a relatively stock engine? 2.5" exhaust, Cold airbox and pod, headers. What sort of gains can be expected? Anyone actually done it to an M50 with stock insides and no turbo?

That sucks, was probably the best M50 swap site out there.

Two straight through mufflers and a coby FTW. Much quieter, but still sounding tough 700 miles on the clock since the swap.

Looks staunch as on those wheels. Lots of want.

Bump. Holy sh*t are there some clowns on trademe, after I placed bad feedback on the original seller and made a fixed price offer to the watchers, he came into the workshop and took the engine off my oblivious mate. So now ive sold it to two people, what a mess

Mid engined twin turbo M20B25 E30... Epic, but why?

Also have a PFL front kit, no idea what it is, possibly early BBS? Look through the project thread for more pics. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=31249 Lower edge looks to have been removed, but cant gaurantee it as have never seen one the same. Someone with some glassing/plastic welding skills could turn it into something a bit different to the usual E30 front end. $50 ono. As always, I have NO room to store this stuff, so it needs to go, make an offer and Ill probably take it as long as your not takin the piss

Forgot to mention the best bit! Going through the karangahake gorge, down changing and blipping the throttle while enjoying the windy bits. Big, big, big Grin

Ohope and back prooving run. Ran well with the exception of spliting the only hose on the engine that I didnt replace, this afternoon, and the most a**hole hose in the car. The M20 one from the back of the block to the heater. Big ups to the AA man in Ngatea for opening the garage (behind shell) and letting me get the car on the hoist to fix it, you da man. Averaging 9.5l/100km. E30 at the beach..

Mmmmmm.. Wanna swap them for some mint alpinas?
