Would be cool to see one thats not black. red? Can you polish them?, Ive seen a polished inlet manifold. I guess it comes down to how much time you want to spend on it.

yea, if i didn't have an e30, i would want an ae86, a shame there so expensive tho.

Don't worry bout driving to Greymouth, I'm in chch heaps a. Give me a pm after November 5th. And We'll work something out.

Mines a four door MTech II kit. When, and how long will you need it for? Im at uni to, in dunners, but my cars in greymouth, will be home in early november.

I have have a complete MTech II kit I'd be willing to loan you if you were making moulds. The more sweet e30's out there, the better.

wind down the window?

awesome. Is it the 525e or 525ee block??? If so PM me a price you have in mind (excluding shipping)

*wonders how much it would cost to send a car from aucks to chch* Or if there was a wrecker in aucks that wanted to work some thing out with me?????

Hey As per title, I'm after the bottom end from a 525e, or 525ee. At this stage, I'm after it all complete. Cheers Antony.

I like it, at least it looks clean, and hasn't just been slapped in there.

haha, sweet. The video of the e36 was posted here a while back (If my memory serves me right it didn't get a warm reception from some lol) Not sure what's going on in the video of the e30, but the wheels look sick a.

hahahaha, thats my one bid. But it's trademe, so it's anyones i guess.

I personally think theres no replacement for displacement so heres what I'm going with clickity (You've probably already read it.) Will be interesting to see what others recommend...

well I've got a 320i, so don't see reason not to go to 2.7. look at it this way, if i didn't go to 2.7 i would go m20b25, not m50 or any other sort of conversion. Ill be looking for 190 - 200hp, with a cam and chip.

you can do this. 731 heads do not match with a 325i block tho. this is why if you do this conversion with a 325i head, you also need to replace the pistons (which are shorter, therefore meaning you need to shave the block 2-3mm.) Which is why I am using the 731 head to avoid the work mentioned above, although i will be using a 325i inlet manifold, injectors, AFM, (and the FPR if there any different).

And most conversions normally go like this: for a lil' bit extra, but then for a lil' bit extra, then for a lil' bit extra..... :o I'm just after simple and cheap (both don't really exist), but the 2.7ltr with a 731 head seems to be the way to go, i was considering for a while the 2.8, but then you get the above....just a lil' bit extra (plus it's not that tried and tested as the 2.7) I'm just starting to collect parts now, so I wouldn't expect anything for a while (I'm not known for my speed when it comes to getting things done lol)

just thought I'd try some photoshop, and couldn't resist your car lol Unfortunately your in the wrong community when it comes to chromes, but hopefully you can take something positive from all this.

sweet. Am considering doing this in the near future.

hey. A while ago someone had posted an article from Total BMW on the 2.7ltr conversion, using the 731 head. (I've got the one about using the 325i head) Have searched, but can't find it anywhere. So if anyone has it, could they please re-post it, or email it to me at [email protected] cheers antony.

not in greymouth, been to two engineer shops, one that specializes in selling bolts lol. might have a look round in chch tomorrow.

or the name of a wrecker in chch?

hey. as per the title, I'm after the nut that bolts onto the tie rod on an E30. I think its a 17mm, got a 10mm centre diameter, and a pitch of 1mm. don't what there worth, but if your in chch area, i can pick up tomorrow. cheers antony.

Was bout to say the exact same thing, absolutely no idea what happened for half of last night. Although you might see me on the news lol. road marker body kits round my way a. ftl.

will a getrag 240 from a pre facelift 320i bolt up to facelift 320i?

If this was 3 months later i would be so keen. Good luck with the sale.
