  1. Hey Wayne - can't seem to message you. Thanks for your help here - if you're selling the M20 x-pipe, how much do you want for it? Debating if I try cobble together the Hartge reps and x-pipe onto a standard system instead of splashing for BTB. The M52 BTB is making my eyes water.
     

    Kicking myself for just seeing the one that sold the other day....

    Cheers,
    Gus


  2. Cheers guys. Wayne - where did you get hold of them? Got any contact details? Happy if you want to PM me instead. 15hp sounds like the ones I'm after.

    Gaz - do you have a link for those Ozzie Alpina copies? Waiting to be allowed into the E30 Owners FB group.


  3. It's been a veeery long time since posting here - but trying to dig out some info.

     

    A number of years back, I believe someone imported some M20 headers from China that were actually pretty decent - they may or may not have been BTB copies. Does ANYONE have an inkling about who that was, or where they sourced them from? I'm looking at options for a new project.


    Cheers,

    Gus


  4. Since it's been a LOOONG while since I've been on here...this may be of interest to some.

    the most recent acquisition is up and running!
    FS Ad:

    She was running reasonably well, but I wanted to make her as nice as possible, so off to a mechanic (I'm cheating this time - after rebuilding a coupe of E30's, I simply don't have the time, space, tools, so it's been a real luxury having someone else do the work! And better than I would have, being honest...)
    List of parts replaced is pretty extensive, some of them below:
    Newish Mtech springs, shocks and struts from the old car (standard - love em), Full new front control arms, track rods, E30 M3 bushes, drop links, new BMW standard exhaust (I LOVE this thing), BTB manifold (unfortunately it was advertised as having a BTB which turned out not to be true), BBTB (thanks Byron!), new WMS discs (the old front R had malformed and cracked coming off, ouch), new Toyo Proxes all round, Inspection II, bonnet foam, gearbox seals, guibo & CSB, gearshift knuckle, cambelt/waterpump, a wheel bearing, 25mm Master Cylinder and numerous new clips, etc.
    Replaced the speakers and stereo, a few more things on the checklist but otherwise she's running well and loving her. Need to get the wheels straightened and then can start worrying about whether to 2.8/3L her or not...
    I really love the blue leather!

  6. Hey Guys,

    I'm on the North Shore.

    Really want to get this all gone today - have replied to emails. M20 block and head is gone, but nothing else confirmed (aside from some wingmirrors)

    Best bet is to call my cell +64 21 028 32679 and we can figure things out

    Cheers,

    Gus

  8. Fellas,

    Long time, no post. Hope you are all well.

    I have one for sale. What are they worth?

    She's a little rough. Rust, 15" Basketweaves, 5speed from 318iS. Probably best for a racecar strip and rebuild. Will throw in a new camkit (if you hear the old one, you will know why).

    Let me know thoughts - junglegus@gmail.com. Be quick, I'm only in NZ this week.

    Love,

    Gus


  9. Interesting - neither of those were there back in the day.

    Mechanically it should be fine - most suspension bits were brand new 4-5 years ago + head rebuilt

    sounds like that knob - subsequent owner must have removed. never seen one working.

    good luck with the search ! Gus


  10. Cheers Fellas! Today's the day - will have one or 10 tonight

    Currently on the lookout for an E30 M3 - love the Evo but miss the E30! Although I've just ordered a UUC light flywheel...couldn't help myself.

    Have some roadtrips to Scotland and France lined up in next few months!
