ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted February 1, 2007 Have sourced a 323i manual E30 sitting in a paddock doing f**k all. Has the manual box still in it. As far as i am aware all E30 2.3 litres have the infamous getrag 245 box. Wondering what the worth of these are. I saw Gus selling Ashkans old one on Tard me for over 2k if i remember correctly. This guy only want 250 - 300 for it if i take it out. Also said i can take whatever else is on the car. All i really want to know is, would it be worth spending the 300 bucks on it and taking the pedal box and master cylinder and sh*t for a manual conversion?

bravo 34 Report post Posted February 1, 2007 normal man conv. sells on TM regularly for $750. Dogleg more sought after although last 323i I saw didn't have dogleg and neither does my old mans. Just Do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30stz 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) gus just sold ashkans old one for about 2k just for hte box i think. I've seen 2 E30's with them, one an 85 and one an 83. First and 2nd Gen. There ya go http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-84419021.htm If its got a Dogleg, chances are it will be full spec and be paired with the LSD as well.
