BM WORLD

tree broke off at its base . looks like i will be busy on sunday with the saw

BIG tree just fell over our back fence from house at the back of ours , just missed the e34 sort of landed over a new garden . not sure if the fence is still there , to dark and hard to see so many brances and leaves etc. will post a pic when the sun comes up

that would be me . and yes silver fox has bet you to it . but i do have othe options in the yard . vw golf stuff and i am sure if you want to try there will be others that can fit or made to fit. have saab , volvo , audi , vw , mercs as well

yup . happy birthday OLD BOY. yes do a big skid

hi ,just the std original seats fitted to this car, with bugger all wear in the leather too

I like the sound of this . can help with most of the other bits . except the 3L crank .

maybe for about 1 sec . give me a call to discuss options cheers brent 021433600

should have some in our yard at work .

have a full conversion kit at work from a e34 525i

e28 with tied m5 engine 14.73 e34 535i with old tied hartge engine 15.37 some details from last jag bmw day http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=23382

ha ha . i was wearing a shirt though. na got rid of the CRT tv unit . manage to find a matching blue leather covered glove box to go back in its place . from my current work place of corse:)

just a quick update . had to order another tensioner bit from the states #%^$*#& more money:( as i couldn't get the orgianal long tensioner as they dont make them any more (unless i order a special a one off made one from bmw germany for about $1200) so have to convert the head to take the 2 piece tensioner system. as they have already supplied the lower section . have to drill and tap a pivot pin into the front of the head casting as the earlier head i am using doesn't have the hole there etc . as you can see in the pictures showing the 2 different head castings. so they will be assembling together the head and block soon ,so not too far away.

this has been there for a while i have meet this guy before . he will be selling that head on behalf of another guy , but i dont think they would know what it is?? if it is genuine alpina head then it will have a alpina stamp mark on it . like my old hartge head had .

some up to date photo's have been posted now have more if any wants me to email them http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-317001702.htm

yes will put some up when the sun comes out and i can get some good pics cheers

sometimes you can reclamp the tags with some pliers or use a screwdriver and hammer . they dont seam to use much clamping pressure when they make these radiators , i got a new one for amy e28 m5 engine and had to go back 3 times for replacements under warranty , the next time it started to leak i just reclamped it and no problems since then

drives like my wife , when taking the kids to school

thye just wear a bit quicker than some other bmw engines . but not that big of a job to replace but the parts are expensive as there are only genuine bmw ones , you can order from a few different places though but all come from bmw germany. m88 or s38 all wear about the same , 2 types of tensioner rails are used though and the s38 engines use duplex chain type

just a quick update . pistons , crank and rods are fitted in now . stripping the head down to take the new cams , had to do a little grinding in the cambox to allow for the extra lift in the cam lobes etc . fit stronger valve springs etc . have to reorder one of the chain guide tensioner arms as they sent the wrong one . also needed a new lower cam chain sproket , bottom ned gasget set etc etc .

i second that . the only way to go is a live remap on a dyno so you can see the results as apposed to a guess . and i think it will cost you about the same . call gavin . worth while mods for the e34 540i is a diff ratio change and maybe lsd . open up the rear of the exhaust system ( but becarfull as some of the rear boxes sound yukky) maybe a more open air box set up . but really a remap will give you the best bang for buck and a diff change and 6spd conversion:)
