_ethrty-Andy_ replied to BM WORLD's topic in General Discussion
SA cars can fetch an extra 500 - 1000 on top of an identical (more or less) Jap car, coz of the special bits on them. That said.. i wrecked one with a siezed engine. id resto it an flick it, seeing as you can get parts for below cost from other wrecked ones? -
i assume by you looking at that site, you are considering getting one? Waste of time really imho. The patrol cars use a different frequency now to the one all the low end detectors pick up. My one only picks up speed cameras now, and the occassional police car that hasnt been converted. But i havent used it for 6 months so probably doesnt even pick up the cars anymore. So Legal or not here.. they are pretty pointless to own really. i got mine cheap though You are looking at around the $2k mark for a detector that picks up the band the 5-0 use now last time i checked. Not worth it imo.. if you can justify spending that much, you shouldnt be on the road Definately interesting the fines in other countries though!

Hey guys! Got a few goodies for sale off the car to be sold ASAP to pay for the build. Am selling: - Low kms M20B20, good for the Race series? Listing Here - Getrag 240 Gearbox (M20 bellhousing).. again good for the race series? Listing Here - Chipped M20B20 ECU. Dont really know much about it, but assume it fits E34 M20B20s as well. Chip may be able to be used in other M20s, but i dont really know. Could contact the guy i got it off if anyone wants to know (or he might chime in himself).. Listing Here - KSport 4x100 17"x7" Rims. Looks nice on standard bodied E30s, but too i want something with a lower offset.. Listing Here - E36 Sump. from an M52 but will fit M50 as well. Pickup and dipstick tube thrown in too. Might be good for you slammed E36 boys to have a spare?.. Listing Here - E36 Power Steering Pump. Unknown Condition, but should be sweet. Possibly can verify from previous owner.. Listing Here - Free E30 Dash. Will throw out if its not gone in the next few weeks. suitable for a racecar etc, its no showpiece, but someone might want it. PM me - Also have lots of other E30 spares, PM me. Thanks guys!

Have some Jamex Lows if you want them. Are you after the rears only or the fronts too? The fronts arent Jamex they are ///M Springs. Old as photo but no recent photos of the overall car (all recent photos are of the Engine haha), but those are the springs installed Make an offer

loving the wheels

I think i understand what you are trying to say.. are you saying the rego lapsed for 2 years, and because of this the car was dereged. Then in 1997 someone decided to bring the car back into service and recomplied the car? This sounds like the most likely story yet, followed by the reshell Its the VIN that makes it interesting. I doubt they would have cut and welded on a new VIN stamp. Its possible.. but thats almost TOO far. Especially for a car like this, which, while rare, isnt THAT rare that you need to go through that. prehaps if only a few hundred were built....

Converting a M60B40 to run a Toyota 5/6 speed manual?
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to [email protected]'s topic in Performance
I know of someone through a firend with a Camry gearbox on the back of an M70 in his offroader, so if the M70 and M60 have the same bellhousing then it should fit. iirc it bolted straight up with no modification. not sure if any modification needs to be used to fit it into a BMW though -
If anyone has any 3pc versions then id be interested in those too
-
Does anyone have one wheel lying around? or a set? or part of a set? I have possibly sold my 17"s as they probably wont fit 51mm struts and i dont really like them anyway I have 3x Hartges good Hartges, the other is irreparable, and want to throw them on. can anyone help?
-
+4 lol i guess its some sort of anti spamming thing? maybe it can be lifted after like 100 posts or something?
-
never seen an E36 but from what ive been told the E36 one has two mounting points on it while the E30 has one. Except the E36 compact which essentially has the same rear end as E30. Someone more knowledgable will confirm or otherwise though
-
have a 4.45 if you cant find anything else
-
waste of time buying second hand. they are only around the $50 mark from repcos
-
Try looking on TradeMe? alternatively flick it on TM once you are finished. Would probably work out cheaper than hiring one.. if you can hire one..
-
looking great! are those aftermarket headlights? Not an E46 expert but they look different to normal..?
-
To my knowledge there are three different manual driveshafts. please name your engine and gearbox
-
If hybrids are this good then ill get one in the future. if not, ill stick to second hand petrols
-
^^ cheers mate! now i know what im looking for! will be running the M20 one in the meantime, but eventually will switch to that if i get annoyed with the expansion tank
-
^^ what does an M50 E34 run? does that one have the built in expansion tank too? i have two M20 radiators here so no issue to use that.. its just for cleanness of the engine bay that im thinking the built in expansion tank. Thanks for your info!
-
At least its manual. Walking is just as fast as 320i Auto. manual makes the b20 a good engine
-
