  1. Hi there, im probably buying a mates 4cyl 2L carby 320i its an e21, for a grand! And its manual.. Do you think i should, A) buy and sell my exsisting car, use money to do up e28 to a nice standard put my ride in storage and do it up over time I dont know i cant have 2 cars at home not enough room, id like to sell my car for around 6000 ono and just spend up on the manual e28 lower it, work engine, suspension, paint it i think it would cover these mods... Cheers

  3. Hey mayybee im not sure of your personal preference but i quite like accord euros, the new ones, dont know how this goes into your price range but they are quite cool if manual
  4. Damm the golf sounds awesome, I cant stand the ford or holden thing, go for the Golf!!
  5. If you cant afford too much and your lowering it just for looks you could compress the springs its about half the cost of getting new springs, But you wont get very good handling, ie it wont stiffen your ride much... Cheers

All you need to some 3M electrical tape that bends so you dont get wrinkles, and a sharp knife.

  24. when my car is cold (i dont have a garage) and i start her up, when i turn the wheel i get a moaning groaning sound from under the bonnnet...it worries me My car is quite low maybe there is stress on the power steering? i really dont know.
  25. Tim is the man :bowdown: :bowdown: Burnouts are now a possibilty with my car... no crappy random gear changings for me... ooohhh yea.. the 5spd kicks ass. Was quite a relatively good conversion.. Started late on the Sat with the removal of the exhaust, heatsheilds, diff, then Tim had to drop some skirt off in Wellington.. Took out the old clunky auto gearbox (those things are heavy) the flywheel, torque convertor (heavy as well) etc. The flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, spigot bearing, and release bearing went in next. Then we decided to bust a few brews, and get totally smashed.. Feel sorry for the people's property that Tim destroyed on the way home from the pub! Poor gardens will never look the same in Palmy. Too hungover the next day we finally got up at midday... gearbox was in straight away with no problems. Pedal box in quick time. Diff. Then came the nightmare..... some retard decided it'd be a good idea to fuk the thread on the master cylinder (end that connects to the clutchlines) arggghhh!!!! Tim wasn't a happy chappy which was fair enufff. After a few hours of trying everything and numerous calls to Hartage/Ian, Tim managed to stop the leak that i had caused from stuffing the thread :bowdown: Bled the clutch. Was no resistance, so had air pockets in line, so after talking to Ian pressurised the air out by pumping the clutch three times, holding clutch down while Tim opened the bleed valve on the slave cylinder. Did this a few times, and managed to bleed the clutch successfully. Threw heatsheilds and exhaust back on, then walla. Tim took the car out for a test drive... sheesh it was fun, hooning the outskirts of palmy... A couple of parts were missing such as wiring for the reverse lights, and the rubber bit that covers the hole where the gearshift comes through. All in all, a very successful and fun weekend. Thanks to Tim for a great learning experience, and for showing me it is possible to drink copious amounts of alcohol is less than a couple of hours. Big ups to Ian as well, the vast fountain of knowledge that he is. How mcuh did it cost you man? i want to do burnouts too !! I think next year i will bite the bullet, splash out and do it, where there is a will there is a way, sucks that i have next to no tools or a garage or anyone i know is a mechanic!!!!
