just buy a new one from BMW. I got one 3 weeks ago and it cost me a whopping $160 incl.

Yip, it is working now. Must have been a glitch with my net. Cheers. This will be a big help.

$520

if the link still worked it would have been great. Thanks for the heads up though.

sides are easy as is the rear. You just pull the corner up on the inside of the car and slowly work the rubber away. Get someone on the out side of the car to catch the window in case it falls. Gently push the glass outward from the inside as you ease the rubber. This works for back and side. The front one is done the same but as it is laminated glass you run the risk of it breaking. Especially if there are stone chips in it. It doesn't matter how careful you are it will breal. Get a glass person to remove the front but the rest are simple. Putting back in involves using some string and pulling the window rubber back into place from the inside.

Mate that would be a good start. It will hopefully go a long way to helping out. Will have to work out how to grab it off you to photocopy the required pages.

Has anybody got a complete wiring diagram for e36's. I need one so I can strip out only the wiring I require for the race car. Need to be the complete wiring including engine and chassis.

Hopefully one of you lot has it electronically.

I think I have a 17pin CD changer Cable. Will have to have a look an get back to you guys. Drop me a PM to remind me tomorrow as I am about to head out for the day.

I said SHOTGUN on a new Z roadster down at Shelly BMW in Wellington the other day. Bastards sold it on me though. As far as I know, SHOTGUN doesn't give anyone the right to have something first. SHOTGUN also isn't any form of payment so why should I be angry at them selling it??

I will order the Plate SHTGUN and then everything will be mine or at least I will have first right of purchase.

and some more for you

Thanks I want an E36 but not SMG , as I am going to turn it into an open class and enduro car

cheers

Have you been stalking my old's place. That is exactly what is happening in the garage as we speak. 94 M3 Left hook. 3L and all the balls tingling bits.

We could maybe front as a team once it's finished. You now I'm a starter for Manfield enduro for sure. Well next seasons one anyway.

Clamp

Conrad, what sort of gains with locked vanos, c/f airbox and alpha N?

Locking the vanos is only good for race cars with close boxes, you are only driving in the upper reigon of the motors rev range so the vanos would be in full time anyway. Also a handy trick to stop your vanos form locking up during fast down shifts and causing a nightmare to free. I would expect the motor to be flatter down low and there would be no HP gain with it locked. There is also a set degree that you should lock the cams in at.

you can also put the intake cam in the exhaust side and then put a Shreck (speling) cam in the intake. This is a common mod in the states for the 3.2 motor and give good gains in power.

Can someone please clear it up for me.....is riding on bumpstops legal or not ?

You have to have a minimum of 50mm suspension travel. Riding on Bumpstops is illegal.

I also believe that you must have a minimum height of 50mm for the bumpstop.

Can't do a comp set including brackets, can do single lamps.

I have 5 pairs of E30 late (outer low beam) "simley face) lamps arriving early march.

At the i have avalaible the inner high beam ones.

let me know if you're interested

Prices?

How much for some late E30 front head lights. Complete with mounting brackets.

If you prefer to contact via email. kaelibo@astra.co.nz

Tell them you are building an E30 class car and you should get the same discount.

I had the same low power problems with my 320i. Either chuck a m20 2.5ltr in it or put a 2.5ltr m50 engine and 5spd. It's the only way your gonna get any sorta performance out of it and even then you'll have to turbo it to keep up with evo's and sti's etc

But a stabdard 2.5 M20 with a close ratio box can out sprint a 05 297kw SS Comodore to Mid range 3rd gear as I found out yesterday. Was funny seeing the guys jaw drop.

Why don't people ever check the price on little things like this with the Dealers. Shelley BMW in Wellington can do them at a retail cost of GEAR LEVER COVER, 25111220204 $42.

There is 6 in Auckland.

I got a mate of mine to price me up making some for my 320. $600 at mates rates. He works at a race car engineering place in Wellington.

I have one you can buy, $6000 comes with free car. P/F 320 with 2.5 motor and close ratio box, Bilsteins Jamax super low and 17" wheels.

Failling that, the dealers do them for about $120.

Just buy it and worry about selling the civic later. MTech2 is bad ass
