  1. Can take a jolly big load of home kill in the boot though!
  2. ARP head studs, rod bolts and send it. Plenty of race engine specialists out there, get the Google and phone out. I wouldn't be playing the 600 hp game on a hypereutectic piston without e85 though, they hate knock
  3. I did much the same thing to my 540 (m62tu) and there was no perceptible difference in economy, but it ran far cooler. Theven system is only there for emissions, it drastically increases knock limitation under load until the engine temp cools back down. Tree hugging rubbish Good work Steve!
  4. Had to buy this because my 4 bmws might break and I need a reliable daily... um
  5. Sold the 328 and spent the rest of the day crying in my x5.
  6. Having owned plenty of 4 and 6 cyl e36s I can say none are hard to work on. But I've had far less issues with m50/2 engines with higher km That and the m44 are lacking massively in power. Would like to see the numbers on how many nz new 328 msport optioned cars were sold vs the iS That being said I still want a proper 318iS, so logic is all out the window
  7. While I am a fan of them, I don't understand why they are so close to 328 money when they are mediocre in comparison I'd totally rock a Fiji one though
  8. I had some flat bill hat wearing ballbag trying to buy some coilovers off me a while ago who didn't want to spend more than $500 and they had to be "mint" Bloody idiots. I've now discovered since I got the manual E53 I don't want to drive my three 3 series anymore or my e39. They're all too low and my old man back gets grumpy.
  9. I'll be removing the coil over stuff soon and putting the standard suspension back in, will have new WoF soon, will have a year rego upon sale. Willing to negotiate price, the poor thing is just sitting around now, my buggered back has made it very unpleasant to get in and out of.
  10. I was there for a few days for work last month and it is quite nice The weather isn't as nice as the Hawkes Bay but there is an overwhelming amount of really cool roads up the hills And a billion tossers in R33s doing sick skids oi
  11. I may not have been clear enough sorry, the cam sensor can cause a no start situation. I had one recently and it would cough and not start with a dead cam sensor It's worth ruling out and only takes a few minutesto change if you have small hands
  12. I've had no start and backfiring out the intake with cam sensor code present However will run with an error count as opposed to total failure
  13. Is the clunk with clutch in and selecting gear or while moving off? Whining noise will not be your guibo
  14. Have uploaded better pics. I'll pop this on trade me in the new year
  15. It's all pretty speculative without knowing brand of dyno and correction factors used. Regardless would be a bloody nice weapon to own. Mucho jealous
  16. I stuff the ports with rags and then use tape to cover them. Then get the tooth brush out and spend a year cleaning
  17. Correct. Being a returnless rail the regulator is in the filter
  18. They have a pressure test valve on the fuel rail, standard Schrader type
  19. E36 coupe pros: Look nice Drive nice Can make them handle unbelievably well for little money Manual goodness Cons: Plastic cooling system Window regulators and motors The whole interior will destroy itself in front of your eyes window regulators and motors Wheel bearings window regulators and motors E36 316 sedan: (my favorite) Pros: Manual. Economical Reliable Hilariously floppy and slow Manual windows don't break Cons Hilariously floppy and slow Drum brakes No rear anti roll bar Interior has exploded E53 X5 pros: Manual. Diesel Everything is awesome Sportpac Cons: None.
  20. Bumpy. I'm getting sad seeing this sit unused
