Got my manual conversion installed on my 325i. Drives well! clutch is very strong. Gear box is smooth. Thanks Jono for supplying the kit!

p.s

the drive shaft center mount didn't fit my F/L e30. also got a few other bits replaced.

Had a new windscreen put into Dudlee after the last one cracked. I had a leak from the windscreen aswell and luckily enough it wasn't the Sunroof drainage holes that have rusted through just the windscreen rubber seal.

Novus sealed it all up for free and put the new windscreen. 10/10

Yea either slip on or bolt on. If you buy slip on you will need longer bolts. Im running 18mm slip ons with longer bolts

Polley... very nice work.

I am curious as to what metal type you used for the manifold? As in steel type/grade and thickness?

I need to look at making up some 4-2-1 headers for my V8 soon so just want to get some ideas of what material others are using for exhaust manifolds.

They are steam pipe bends, they would be over kill for a NA manifold (and heavy), unless you plan on making a turbo manifold ??

Productive Sat avo for the boys at the Park Rd E30 Performance Centre

Found out why the E30 was running on 5. Huge crack in the Dizzy so replaced that.

Replaced Plugs.

Replaced the non captive superlow springs in the rear for some lows.

Fitted SA spec boot lining and larger toolkit.

Replaced faulty coolant sensor.

Fixed other little bits n pieces.

Finished off with a test drive with the fellas :D

Cranked it over and gained some oil pressures. Battery is on the charger then I will check I am getting correct signals from the crank VR sensor to the ECU.
