ipwnyou 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Since my last offer for a 2.5L engine fell though, as the compression on the chambers were completly crap, im looking for another engine. I would prefer a 325 engine, as it would fit better and require less parts - but i suppose as long as everything can be provided, it wouldnt matter. Since my 316 manual gearbox isnt compatable with a 2.5 i'm also looking for a manual that will fit. Basically, if I cant find a manual box, im not converting. I cant stand autos. I also need rear disk breaks (I have drums), a new Diff, and I think a new driveshaft. I know from my previous post that some of you have exactly what i need If you have any of these parts can you pm me with the part description and your price. I would consider purchasing a wreck, or likewise. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Gus has the motor - perhaps still for sale. You can't just bolt on rear calipers and discs. You need to change the whole trailing arm - again - easy to find. Would recommend buying a manual 325. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 ive got most things apart from a box and driveshaft however im tempted to keep the stuff for future projects, plus i wouldnt want to part with stuff cheap, so the easiest solution is to get a wrecked 5spd 325i. they go normally <1000 at wreckers if you can find one. if your not in any rush, hang out for a decent deal to come your way....no point in rushing things if you have no need.
