always try to be carefull with that too, particularily in the short while the car was mobile with the tech2. not keen to up my insurance for the body kit so if it got wrecked then theyd only give me back a stock bumper Got a spare now though in case that ever happens

i thought they are adjusties? wind them up a bit? What tyres do you currently have and condition? if they are 45s could swap em for some 50s or 55s if you want depending on condition (currently have both sizes in stock)

yeah i know i said that above

to be honest i dont remember what the gasket was made of. I got it from Repcos and i have never had an issue with thier gaskets before. fitted them to many engines. yep definately coming from between the sump and the block.. i cleaned both and then polished the sump so they were almorst perfect before install so very easy to see where its coming from is it okay to sear some gasket glue or silcone or something along the join line to stop it? i dont want to pull the engine again. if i cant do something along the join line ill leave it. the leak isnt that fast anyway, i just want to do it because its dirtying my cleaned and polished sump

thats what i thought. tried that, but i dont want to go any further incase it snaps the bolt. already had that drama once. Whats rtv sorry? sump has not been welded. has a proper paper gasket i got brand new, never been bent or anything.

in again before the lock due to south african jokes getting out of hand

if hes still here after this carry on.. id say hes been initiated? haha Welcome mate

^thought that as were the photo was taken lol

hey guys. the M52 car has a very slow oil leak (maybe a drip every couple of days?) brand new sump gasket, sump is torqued to correct amount. is this normal on new gasket when the engine hasnt ever been run? ie does the gasket glue needed to be heated up to bake on or something? If not, what cant i do to correct it? should i put some more gasket glue around the join between he block and the sump? or maybe some silicone? Im not pulling the engine back out to redo the sump.. if thats the only option then ill just top up the engine every few months

youll probably need to get a custom one made up. id be surprised if you can get E30 exhausts off the shelf. Do some reasearch on exhausts other people have run. Ask about the type, brand and amount of mufflers, catalytic converters, resonators, X-Pipes (if twin piped), etc, or lack thereof, and you will eventually notice trends. Cant really start you off though, havent built an exhaust for M20B25

strangley... a post whore like me has nothing to add to the thread. Sticking to tradition clearly but srsly.. LOL@last 10 pages!

because 95+% of the discussions are about trademe..? lol

^The free copies of last months mags in the staff room are always an entertaining read on smoko. Some of that sh*t is just outrageous!

hahaha nice!

ahh my bad. im not intrested in buying them so havent done any investigating. Anyone from here snag them? fess up!

they didnt sell. shall i ask them to be relisted? not sure if y'all who didnt have these on your watchlist are able to ask?

Also available from here for free if im closer. Jons probably more likely to be available when you want to get one though

so whats the project engine recon? M30? Holden V6?

depends where you want to place it. do you want it in the cabin for quick access or in the boot etc? I had mine (in my E30 though) mounted infront of the drivers seat.. had the seat full back and im the only one that drives it so no need to put the seat forward ever. Relocated it the boot after a while for a cleaner interior though

how long are these gunna last now they are posted here? Im keen on the E30 ones to stash away but maybe next time E30 ones - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-293861365.htm E36/E34 etc ones - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-293860844.htm

not legally... but what more can we do though?

^ lol make offers i will refuse and i probably wont. need this stuff gone will trade sh*t for - 325i front and/or rear sways + links - Euro rear plate holder - Tech2 wing, (fiberglass replica etc okay as long as its an accurate copy) - E30 M40/M42 loom holder

do want

or you could bore the center out surely? its only a mm right around... would be sick on the right car. cant picture them on a bimmer though unless it was a ratted out E21 or something

too bad its in wellington eh guys?
