Welcome to the forum Glenn out at botany motor worx comes highly recommended, and is also a forum sponsor. Give him a bell, I'm sure he'll sort ya out with minimal fuss

Thanks man, was wondering if it was worth the effort. Wonder if there are any plans on the net to dimension up a seat of DIY tuned headers for the M50B25. Would love to copy the S50 ones if I could! Not worried about how long it takes to build, but more torques would be nice

Has anyone here swapped the exhaust headers from an M52 to an M50? Am trying to work out if it's a worthwhile swap while I have the motor out to do manual install yada yada. Will they mate up to exisiting plumbing or will the downpipes need tweaking? TIA

Bit of an odd question - does anyone know if a Quaife LSD center from a 944 Porsche will slot into a medium case BMW housing? A mate has been offered one recently. We know that some of the Porsche use the same clutch discs for their mechanical LSDs, hence the question. Google ain't turning up much on this one Mucho obligato!

Not that you'd spot such an install at 120mph!! So much win, can't wait to see this bad boy finished!

You'll need to resize the images to 800x600 to upload.

I'm assuming the M3 has integrated tweeters from factory? I recently upgraded the front staging in the Mrs' passat using factory tweeter mounts, was easier than I anticipated. Sounds significantly better than A-pillar locations too. Enclosure looking good so far man, will be very interested to see what you do for the racking.

If you bought the kit via trademe you may have legal recourse there. Failing that, threaten him through the Commerce Commission and the Fair Trading Act. Or visit him with a baseball bat and ask very politely for the parts you paid for

Been meaning to ring him for ages now about a rear main seal for the same engine. Will be doing the manual swap on mine when the brother in law gets back from China, should really get the oil leak sorted while I'm under there

Ring Gavin at Euro-Italian. I got one through him for bugger all not that long ago. Good guy to deal with

Thats a surprising result, I was of the understanding that the M50 intake made a large difference to the M52. Similar top end figures but much later in the curve. Would an ecu remap make better use of the different inlet tracts?

Sedan? Coupe? Auto? Where are you? Could be interested

Makes it look like a new mini with an attitude problem IMHO

Last M60 manual kit I saw on Tardme was over $4k. Versus $375 for the Dinan software. At those sorts of prices I'd find it really difficult to justify that much money on any car unless it was an absolute low mileage minter that you knew you'd avoid selling at all cost. Still, an E39 with the 4.4 AND three pedals is nearly my idea of a perfect daily All comes down to the $

Get leather and one of those illuminated gearknobs. Job done

25 hp is pretty good just for cold air induction! Still, thats $240 per horse without install expenses Fark! Would have to wonder what sort of gains I could make for my old M50B25 with one of those intakes and a freer flowing exhaust.....ahh well, dreams are free!

Holy sh*t, that things a monster!! Anyone have any clue as to how much difference it would make to torques & horsepowers?

Have heard Ford followed the VW/Audi move to producing a fair bit of their North American product to Mexico. Not sure about the rest of the world though. Poland maybe?

price for gearknob from this one too please. ta

Separate prices for the gearknob & schnitzel rear muffler please? Thanks Ray *Edit - and the rubber boot from the gear lever too thanks

Hi guys, looking for a MPH / KPH speedo face to suit the E36. I learned to drive in British cars and as such I still involuntarily do mental math every time I glance at the dash I'm hoping the MPH over KPH dial face will help reduce my near constant state of confusion when driving - if anyone has such a part in an unused old console I'd happily take it off your hands Thanks!

100 hp loss through the drive train?? crumbs

Have seen 3x36's in the last week, 1 with BBS LMs, another with stars and the last with M Double Spoke IIs. All looking like they hadn't been loved in years. God damn the things I'd save if I had the dough!!

Still in planning mode for the long awaited manual conversion on the 325i. I know it's possible to have the DME reflashed to make it think it's no longer an auto etc, but would it be possible to use an ECU from the donor car as a straight swap? Both cars are pre EWS AFAIK; mine is 9/94 and I *think* the donor was mid-'93. Will this work? Am suspicious the DMEs will also carry the VIN, and if thats the case I have the feeling my idea is fatally flawed. Any input from those that are smarter than I would be handy!

Who here has an E34 that needs some love? Someone REALLY needs to buy these!!! Andy?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-594708204.htm
