Couldn't out run a 320i auto.Let us know if you order one, and where from. I'm also interested. Not that I need a stiffer ride lol.

Sorry, steam.

fan goes mint.

You guys were at phat08 a? Starting to regret not going, I only live an hour away.

So my cars been overheating a bit lately. But I never drive in traffic, so it has not been that noticeable. But tonight I was in the Macca's drive thru for aaagggeeessss. And when I finally got thru they asked me to pull up in the park and wait. Anywho, the temp gauge if off the clock by now, and it's smoking. I pop the hood to find coolant boiling and coming out of the cap of the overflow. So what's wrong? I think there might be a block in the system, or buggered pump. Am going to chch tomorrow morning, so really need to sort this out. Thanks Antony.

Time and Money.

Gearbox no. Diff maybe. Will depend on what ratio diff you have, but with the 325 engine it will more than likely make it rev happy, good around town, but not so good on the open road. Some people like it. But I would recommend you change it. You won't need to change wiring, but will need to swap computers (ecu's). O, and welcome.

I have a weird urge for a sacked white volvo. on chromes. lol. It's the fact that it's just so ugly that it's kinda cool. And I have been keeping my eye on them for a while now, but thought I'd share.

I really like them. Have also thought about importing some. One day Come with a free car here. But I think there only 16x7, so no super dish. Otherwise I would've hit up the dealer to see if he'd sell just the wheels.

sold?

Those wheels on that M3 are hawt. He wouldn't be out of place in Arthur's Pass.

It's times like these I'm glad I live in a small town. Christchurch was in the paper recently for being the most dangerous city in NZ. Have also been to South Africa, scary stuff at times (and I was only in Cape Town).

The money spent on the head is a sunk cost, you'll never get it back and shouldn't let it effect your decision. I'd just put my money into the 300zx, or put in a m20b25, don't bother trying to mod the m20b20.

What happens from 60%-70% and 80%-90%? You chew bubble gum and play in the sand pit? Earlier in this thread I said I regret screwing around and scrapping thru. I definitely don't regret it at all, in fact I recommend it. What I regret is screwing around at uni, and failing papers (need to work on scrapping thru this year lol).

Hence, curiosity only. I'd say it's got something to do with the race car .

You've been completely talked out of your original plan. You need to figure out; how much you've got spend, and want you to do it in the future. Then research.

Curiosity only, but what are you letting the 2.8 crank go for? PM me if need be.

I got a chip from Ant of e30zone.net. $160 done. I have now got all the parts for my 2.7 conv (incl manual conv and 273/273 cam) and it has cost ~$2300 A m20b25 isn't much less. P.S. if you want to go the (m20) 2.8 route; good luck finding a m52b28 cam (well without selling your first born).

Looks like the designer was trying to impress his girlfriend. Pity about the other 6 billion people.

Still only a 2 litre tho.

I'll try answer a few, unsure of others: 320i has smaller inlet manifold and throttle body. 731 head is from m20b20, and 885 head is from m20b25. F/L has a bigger exhaust manifold, cant remember differences off the top of my head. (31mm vs 34mm??? or around there) Pre F/L has higher compression ratio. Best combination is everything from a m20b25. ie: block, head, intake, throttle, etc.

it wont.

I don't get what the 2.7 got to do with it, the 3.1 is a completely different build.

They both have interesting body kits, and imo it is a good thing. I'm also a big fan of this one on bimmersport.

Otago, but in chch alot during the holidays.
