  1. I sold the E36 and brought an MX5? I've got several reasonable deals on mx-5's between 2.5 to 3.5k. Just the waiting game and selling the E36 is the limiting factor. I do like the 36 and am doing the interior trim some wonderful and needed repairs this week [Hood lining again and door trims.] But I wouldn't mind trading it for an MX-5.

    Is this O.K? After all I do have the whole Morris thing going on too.


  2. My E36 is up for sale.

    1994 Coupe, boston green in colour. 168xxxkm.

    Two new rear tyres for the last wof.

    Drives very nice and smooth, has a great gearbox for a jatco.

    Very straight body. No rips in the interior. The hood lining has started to sag yet again, due to the glue melting in the wonderful masterton sunlight.

    Car has option codes saying it has motorsport body and suspension.

    Feel free to ask for more information or for photo's. I am willing to drop the vehicle off in the lower north island.

    I now have a new car lined up, need the money and will take $2300, only really able to say that today though. Offer for the new car expires on thursday.

  3. I love 3.8 transplants in anything. Pretty sure series 1 motors had metal injector rails, but can't figure out if they are or not lol.

    I love the 3.8 idea too, just not in an e34. Better off with a light car.

    I quite liked that E34 with 1UZ swap.

    Ecotec supercharged would be kinda fun in an E34 too.

    Ecotec S/C makes less power and same torque as a 1uz and both need a new eprom or map to run a manual, what an effort! A Holden 253ci makes the same torue as both of them...as does an e46 m3 =P

    Perhaps it's in miles on trademe? That would make it about right - somewhere north of 210k

    His speedo is in km's though....I know the car had a second hand motor thrown in at 200k, due to neglect.

    Doesn't really seem like an advantage to have that motor.

    With all that effort they could have put something more powerful in there.

    Like a decent chev? Cheap and more power/less wiring.

    Well said, not too sure why someone would goto the effort of doing all that on a 120kw engine with as much torque as a mute. WOFT = Waste of F@#%%^ time IMO.

    Gutless motor in a car that size isn't it? A 535i would have it for breakfast, whilst being better on gas and usually with the sexy interior!

    I'm not sure what to think about this....Looks like a series one [early vn] motor, which had 121kw....waste of time don't you think?

    Last time I saw this car it had just over 200km on the clock. Bit of a typo on the milage then? Can somebody ask him to correct this as my tardme account is on the blink.


  5. Ah, we had a "house paint brown" one of these babies...

    It had a manual crank, someone had installed a desk lamp into the engine bay, and it didn't work for more than two hours consistently. But it was OUR Morris. Loved that car! Good luck with yours!

    Haha Sounds like some prime brittish engineering!

    Cheers dude


  6. I did the belt and pump on a 4age blue top over the weekend. Piss easy job. Had a few rangi mods on her though. Extractors and no O2 sensor. Pod filter with the whole hot air sucking job and the ambient temp sensor cable tied up near the pcv....Wrong belt covers too. Bunch of twits.


  7. I had to use the benefit at one stage. Was meant to be on the invalids, but, they would not pass it. Not that a broken pelvis, 8 fractured ribs, a broken sternum and sciatica is serious. Bunch of plonkers. I had to keep working as soon as physically possible, only to have long term injuries because I couldn't afford to recover
