thanks guys for the comments . yea i know , the guys a pretty good painter but he is a pretty busy one arm paper hanger and i dont think he had much time to do the fiddly stuff , and he knows i will . yes just put the plate there so i could drive it on teh road , will sort later , have to drill holes in the plate to match the holes in the boot lid yes looking forward to getting it all done , maybe it will be as quick as the old 23 year old e28 (one day)

just it back from the piant shop yesterday , spent a few hours putting the all the trims and mouldings back on , fitting the bonnet linner and washers etc ,. retro fitted under bonnet light etc. still got to get the motorsport side skirts fitted . gave it a quick clean up and got some new pics . will be getting the 5spd conversion kit in soon , also some headers and a ecu remap etc . vader M3 seats , stereo system , and my Mk motorsport 17" wheels and maybe suspension upgrades later . have some koni adjustable shocks or bilsteins to go in this is a link from the first thread http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....=23353&st=0

the links came with the sway bars . white line brand i think from oz

you wont get 4L easily . using readily availible parts teh best is about 3.6L easist option is a 3.5l from a e34 , e32 etc. or e28 , e23, e24 or go for the early very 3.5L with 84mm and fit the later 3.5l 86mm crank etc and get about close to about 3.6L if you do a over bore with custom pistons then you get some where near 3.7L

yes thats right i have a set on my 92 325i coupe . 17" by 8.5" will be going on my newer 96 328i coupe when its all finished. just got it back from the pianter yesterday dropping it back to the panel beater tyo fit the side skirts . then off to get the manual gearbox fitted along with some headers etc

my mum just rang me from tairua , they have all been evacuated upto the the hills.

yea happy birthday .

not bad will have something like this look soonish

yea you have to carfull of what you read . i think some early M engines had BMW on the rocker cover

some basket cases. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-244724332.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-243706767.htm some nice tidy later auto ones http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-225845037.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-244049263.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-243223357.htm some older manual ones. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-244545830.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-115764439.htm a pricey one http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-244550407.htm and some M-power ones. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-243826659.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-243688998.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-244598473.htm my favorite the right engine , the right gearbox , rhd steering , right type of leather seats and colour

yes as soon as gavin comes up with a system or maybe i will get this set up from here. http://millerperformancecars.com/catalogue...=0&vmcchk=1

yes drives great , nice wall of torque . when he started tunning it his words where " man its a bit of a power honey" gavin also drove it afterwards and said it pretty good and wanted to steel the engine for his e30 335i race/road car

yes all the parts in the front suspension , brakes and steering etc are different from std e34 and yes will be slow and thirsty , would make a great donar for a turbo m50 conversion or a 3l or 3.2l m3 engine etc otherwise pretty slow only realy any good if using it in the snow ,sand or mud lots

or if you like e34 tourings you could always offer my mate some $$$$ for one of his ones. and theres one more thats not there at the moment

spent most the day with gavin today , doing a remap on the e28's m5 engine's ECU . got some good results that you can feel etc . been there before just for a check and see etc , tring different settings on the std ecu (they have a fuel quality switch on the side of teh ecu) also playing around with the old worn out AFM (spring and swing arm setting etc) managed to get the old girl up to about 158.4kw and about 340Nm with it starting to drop off at about 6000rpm . so with a bit of tweaking etc also fixing the TPs switch for consistant wide open thottle setting. got about 164.2kw and about 350Nm but holding the power till about 6400rpm which is closer to what it should be . but the power is up about 4-5kw average from about 4500rpm upwards, and also torque has increased . you can see the 2 lines showing orginal and after remap runs .

no . just dirt or something ,.was there tonight took a couple of pics , sorry not cleaned etc . car not being used etc .

i wonder what wrong with it sold on tM a little while back . http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=235512202 or maybe making a little bit ???

coming soon i think . check with marty (bm weapon) this is the donar i think

good work , yes did my e28 door cards inserts about 5-6 years ago now they still look good

got a chipped ecu in my 5spd 92 325i m50 non vanos , came up with 111kw at the wheels at 6000rpm , about 5-10kw above a std car . on gavin's dyno yes talk to gavin he does great work , just did a remap on my e28 m5 engine , pulls real well now

rover 75 .

sorry just a crappy cell phone pic .

yes i have e28 pedal box out , i looked up part numbers e28 and e24 pedals are the same but the box has a different part number and the e23 box looks completly different . but the e28 manual pedals should fit the e24 auto pedal box . most of the little bolts brackets etc are the same http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E28/Seda.../browse/pedals/ http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E24/Coup.../browse/pedals/ cheers brent 021433600
