    Did the cert man want them wrapped? Or just any type of heat shielding?

    Wrapped homs. For the steering shaft mainly. I'd weld some mounting points  and fit some shields  later. Or maybe coat them. This is only to get the cert.

    I have found the issue with header wrap is it gets the manifold super hot changing the metals corrosion resistance, it's also a problem if a weld cracks, makes it quite hard to find the leak. 

    Ceramic powder coating and some appropriate head shields are often more practical. 

    Yea man...fully understand...cash homs...most of it going to  the house deposit🙄 


  5. Went in for 5hrs, fitted headers, loved it, engine and box in, finalising alot, tight fit with header wrap and heat shields, brought the car home. Towed. Ecu down south with programmer for ecu light and fans fault. 😤

    Finally time to put the epoxy coat on the coffee table.  With some glow in the dark pigment for the cracks. Want to do a river ...

    This sad SAD time has come I have delayed this for 3 years. She parks at home under cover and rarely gets used. One of the Beema has to go to add to the house deposit. I imported a Holden L98 V8 with a T6060 manual gearbox from Australia to give her the power she deserves but just didnt want to upset the way she is... So a Nz new e36 came up, and the LsBeema was born. Anyway...

    Im an Automotive technician here in  Mt Roskill, Auckland 
    Bought the car 8 years ago with 160xxxkm with certed coilovers.

    Automatic transmission packed up. Manual conversion was done. 523i donor.

    Replaced Air, fuel and cabin filters, iridium spark plugs, drive belts, gearbox & diff oils, wipers blades.
    Crankcase ventilation valve kit and hoses, oil filter housing gasket. Maf sensor& throttle body cleaned.
    Expansion tank, radiator cap& hoses, cooling system flushed with new coolant. Pressure tested.

    Replica AC Schnitzer wheels, resprayed,18×8,5 et13, 245/40 Firestone TZs all round. Hubs cleaned & lubed. Numerous wheel alignments done to get the tyreware at its minimum.

  10. One of the most rewarding days of my life. Final  fix & tidy before cert inspection tomorrow. So rewarding. The wash yesterday, remembering the first wash.of the car 3 years ago, and now she sits all this work done to her(around 600-700hrs). Around 4 hrs of repair today, with the final wipe down being the highlight. WoW!! Straight up!!!
