Trying to source preferably new but good second hand front foam moulded carpet set- light grey. Any leads on possible sources I can try ? Brendan

Ok Thanks for all the replies boys. Brendan

I've recently done the M20 2.5ltr to 2.8 etc etc 272 cam balanced headers and chipped dead square engine and not too tuned as to be tiring to drive all day really smooth flexible and torquey with heaps of punch theres a good video of how to build one marlin sports

Dunno - maybe I read up on the tech literature off the website which is extensive and gets into chemical design etc etc and looked some other stuff they had. If it didnt work consumer gurantees act would apply and money back I would have thought. ?

At the speed show on the weekend- new bimmers and Gerry too. Saw this stuff. I'm suspicious. Anyone got any veiws on this product? It is as good as they say? How often do you need to use it? Thanks

Ring Chris at Centerline 3768082 - will sort you out

Thanks I'll have a gander Brendan

Need a replacement retarcable blind body that locks into either side of the car above the strut towers behind the rear seats Thanks Brendan

Hi Glenn and MrE34 So far the car is really terrific- Very smooth to drive and heaps of torque - sounds much better too .I deliberately set out not to tune it too hard - theres no point sacrificing drivability as I wanted to use it every day like I have for the past 18 years. It has a slightly lumpy idle but bugger all considering the cam its running. The other issue is that I didnt want to go the next step of grunting up the head work or turbo - big valves etc etc as these do have a weakness in the head castings and its all more cost. Where do you stop. What I have ended up with is a dead square unstressed engine which is very smooth and very very driveable. The car has a few other non std things: Nolathane suspension throughout with fully adjustable back end ,Bilsteins all round with HD springs HD sway bars back and front ,Strut brace, sports drilled discs, short shift, M3 seats , dunlop falkens onto E30 accessory Mags which I scored from Ernst- these were made by BMW as a gen E30 accessory mag and are easier to clean than the BBS mags next stage is spruce up the body work a bit and I'll pop a few pics on here when I remember.

I recently posted about wanting to source a carpet set for the car. Glenn at Botany MW initially thought he could get me one from BMW but was not to be the case so I'm casting further afield and inparticular would appreciate any website addresses for BMW parts in Sweden thanks

Glenn Thanks for trying and you have had the same response I've had from BMW. I will take your advice and see if I can find some swedish sites which may turn up something thanks again

Hard to get Pelican Parts have new ones for $415

Hi Some time ago I posted this topic but didnt get anywhere so I'm trying again.I'm doing a restore of this car which I've had for awhile and now want to replace the original carpet sets . There are two bonded sound insulation foam/ carpet parts which are split under the front seats. The foam is moulded to the floor pan shape so trying to just recarpet is problematic and I would prefer to find the correct parts .Jerry C's had them in stock Nov last year but BMW ended them in Dec and I understand the parts world wide have been returned to BMW. Probably to be auctioned off for RH drives to UK rest to where ever. Anybody able to help with leads on where I can try to source these two parts Part numbers 51471976660, 51471947323 Thanks
