Shouldn't be a long term problem, get the valves adjusted as best as possible, and then just get used to the noise.

Hello Welcome. 1) Firstly it will be the M20B25 engine. 2) Valvetrain noise is very common with E30's, and is accentuated when synthetic oil is used (as i is thinner). Don't worry about it, there is more than likely nothing wrong, normally adjusting the valves doesn't really make a hell of a lot of difference. 3) It is common for the engine oil seals to leak (more a seap than a leak). It is no big deal, and isn't expensive to fix. 4) It is expected that a Link or similar aftermarket ECU will improve engine performance, many of us have talked about doing it, but no-one has yet (for a atandard engine anyway). Andrew is on the verge of doing this. Also it means you can ditch your AFM. 5) Gear shifter bushes becoming sloppy is common too, and eay and cheap to fix. Good luck, sounds like a good car.

Gus My boss kit is an "autotechnica" one. From Top Town in Hamilton Cheers.

Yes, I think whilst the actual description may vary slightly, the meaning is the same.

A momo came on the FD RX7 i'm currently building as a race car, it's got the squarish bottom, and it's a Momo. Similar to that pic, but different colour and metal spokes instead of covered in that plastic/rubber. I was refering more to the un-symetrical shape, not the flat bottom. Please show me any Momo wheel that even mildy resembles this one. I'm just trying to point out that this isnt the real deal. I wouldnt want anyone getting cognitive dissonance. Momo Very well put. Couldn't agree more.

you know it.there is no-one that can top me with the bling on my E30. Bling???? You dont know the meaning I know all. I am the bling king.So sit down, cross your legs, face front, and don't speak unless spoken too. Cheers Grant

that is all class.Nick, tell us more about the event on the 7th of Oct. You involved with it in some way? I love a good beer fest. Cheers Grant

Magic, you are right on the button.Cheers Grant

good on you. Locked

That is some seriously classy motoring you have there. Nice work. Cheers Grant

I love Vanilla Ice, no-one is more hard core than that bad boy.

That is so ugly it is cool. Great project, can't wait to see the pics of your one. Cheers

It will be a E21.

Becasue it is just plain dangerous to be driving a car with cut springs.Cheers Grant

Do you want a BMW logo for a momo steering wheel (just making sure I have read the request right)? I have one around somewhere, it came with my Momo Corse wheel and I never fitted it (just left the Momo one on there). It isn't a sticker, it is the whole button (i.e. has the connections for the horn wires etc). You can have it if you want, I'll never use it. Cheers Grant

Leave it standard, and keep your mnoey for a rainy day when it will need the inevitable expensive repair work. Cheers

Cain, want me to email you your dyno vid. It is 7mb. PM me with the best email address to use. Cheers Grant

is that a 540 up my ass?

The Volkswagen torque monster gets my vote.

Hard to see in this pic because of my wiper, but there was a fair bit of smoke coming off Gus's rear tyres when going across this intersection.
