looks like my head has either buggered a gasket or cracked after taupo..still drives fine and doesnt over heat but upon checking water there seems to be a bit of oil in it and bubbles when the engine is running. i have a spare head so i am probably just going to get it skimmed and rebuild but use my current cam shaft. any other suggestions as to what i should do while im there. am not planning to stay with m20 long term but will be for a while...maybe a 3 angle valve grind (done by the cylinder head shop i presume??) and i need to check if i have over sized valves in my current head. is there any point in: a) skimming the head more to raise compression? polishing the combustion chambers (not just removing the carbon, which i will do anyway on the bottom end too) c) polishing the exhaust ports? any ideas welcomed, would prefer some with some evidence of use on the m20 cheers guys

rubbish. stupid old cars. and i love em to pieces (quite literally)

same. i want to be on myself

what? south auckland is south auckland. orewa is north of auckland. use a map. easy enough? n00b

they are quite soft...nowhere near as good as bilstein/koni

the 320 is Ljet tronic...the 325i is early motronic..got a bit of a problem on ya hands. may need an auto sparky to wire it up..will should be able to provide some more useful info

superlow refers to the drop (60mm vs 40mm) progressive refers to the spring rate...ie it is not linear. linear is a constant spring rate through the travel. progressive is soft at first before getting firmer towards the end of its travel

beat bottle caps....can look tidy

the rears dont have em and the fronts do just a little bolt to hold caliper together...its re usable, again with loc tite most new pad sets come with a couple of extra bolts.

H&R and bilsteins...eibachs are v stiff...jamexes are gay..i havent tried konis personally i am so happy with my setup (H&R sports + Jamex) i would recommend it, even though it costs more that jamex/cheaper shock

f**king gay didnt feel a thing despite evidence to the contrary..apparently car was moving on axle stands above me. goddam bats

mark, you back yet? gimme a bell if you are..021 958 645
