Nice! But blowers are weight.....
Did you end up taking out the AC?
-
I found them on Ebay.de (in german).
Use the Chrome browser and use the translate to English feature (better than IE).
Email them, and they normally come back in english.
I'll cal also provide you these guys direct email if you like. What you after?
Ahhh cool, i have pretty much done the same thing, Not getting anything exciting.

Did those doors come the German eBay?
How did you work it? Ive also found something I'm keen on but being German its hard to figger out how to use it...
Edit: Feeling stupid but I found it in english.... haha

Not sure in regards to power, I reckon concentrate on getting it down to min weight. You'll be quicker every where, the straights, corners and braking. The way I see it power only gets you one of those?

Hah! Don't be sorry man. I'm happy with the event, checking the crank pulley bolt wasn't something I would have ever thought of checking so I'm not beating myself up... Learn something new every time. My aim for the event was to surprise a few people and get a top three stage time, just scraped through with that one even tho we almost came to a stand still to check my brother was OK! That's why I'm happy
Finishing in a newly built car with no issues is a credit to your build. Bring on next year!

Whats that white box strapped to the roll cage behind your seats? Something to do with the radio? That's another great idea btw

-

So the Targa has almost rolled around and Ive made a few updates so though id share them.
The cars pretty much the same as last year but Ive managed to finish off a few things I didn't get time to do last year. These include:
-Longer sump guard with a front pick up point that will now help protect the radiator
- Co drivers foot brace with horn/trip computer reset buttons.
- Awesome new graphic design, powder coated wheels, tints etc
- E36 M3 headers (now making 173 HP.... down from 182HP at wheels haha but on a different dyno so hard to tell the true difference)
- Have done maintenance things like replaced bottom arms, all oils and fluids, rear wheel bearings etc
- a few other bits and pieces mainly aimed at stopping my uncanny ability to spin out.
-
Yeah that's an awesome price!
My air cons long gone, your going to be living the dream in that car haha. Great to hear it went well, Ill be stoked to see another E36 on the start line as im sure you will be too!
-
The closer Targa gets the more excited I'm getting to seeing this run!
-
How did it go today?
-
did you drop it of at their depo or at the airport? It looks like their depo is about 2.5km from the airport.
-
Thanks, Ive taken part 12 off the list.
Think ill need the base of it so it clips into the center console.
-
So thats its technical name...
Any one have one?
Part number 11
-
coloured wheels ... :/ a bit 2012
Is it?
Hope not haha!

I was a mechanic for ten years, I advise you not to buy the super expensive stuff. You don't need it if your not on the tools for a crust.
If I were you if go and buy a set with tool box and draws with the foam inserts. I never had these as they take up too much room but It's easy to see if you've misplaced anything at the end of the day. A real money saver if you've lost tools in the past.
Find a friend who has an account with Repco or BNT I find there both good brands and will be plenty good enough for what your after. They sell a sh*t ton of different kitsets. Get your mate a bottle of something for there troubles. Most people are happy to help out.
If you want a list of tools or me to suggest a kit send me a pm and I'll have a closer look.
Just a couple more notes:
Go for single hex sockets, you can put more torque through them with out having to worry about rounding the head off.
If you want to spend some money on somthing... get a snap-on ratchet, there increadably fine an worth the money.
Make sure you have a good 1/4 socket set, deep and normal sockets. Out of all my tools I have (I have lots) I use a simple BNT set with snap-on ratchet the most.
Hope that helped.- 2
What would an E36 318ti M52B28 manual be worth?
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by Steve K-B · Report reply
Hey people, What would you say a good condition E36 compact with a manual M52B28 would fetch? I may end up with a spare engine and compact body...I'm considering putting the two together with the aim of selling it on. I think it'd be worth more in a running compact than separately....
Any one seen one for sale?
Cheers,
Steve
