Spikuzi, you used the M40 clutch on the M52? Did the M52 clutch/fly not mate up?? i tried the m50 flywheel and clutch with the m20 gearbox and it didnt fit, the pressure plate hits the bellhousing. the m40 flywheel is the same size as the m40 one, just where the clutch plate sits is bigger on the m...

i made the down pipes and joined them to my old system, this will do the job for now but i will be sending it to get a nice hi flow system made.

thanks brian

brian need your help please ? !!

i was standing there for 2 hours trying to decide which one 18" or 17"

i found a free set of hid kit today, so i thought to use it on the foglights (driving lights) to match the headlight. the problem is that they are non projector type.

any one done it before ? please post pics

i saw a few 325is's in australia, i think they are private import. this car is just early 325i with the m-tech kit, looks very clean

Wow its amazing what carpet cleaner can do. How many miles were on this car when you got it. its not just one carpet cleaner, i bought 3 diffrent ones after i jet washed it for 1 hour. the car had 280000 miles when i bought it 2 years ago :( . here is the first pics of the car when i first bought i...

any idea where to get the switch from and how to connect it ??

thanks dave

its not just the m50 project anymore, its the whole car :D the carpet is 25 years old and never been taken out of the car i spent 1 hour jet washing it and brushing it. it didn't do much so i had to buy some carpet cleaning things. came up good at the end. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x211/spi...

thanks brian, you are the best

It wasn't the brake pedal switch. Switch pressed and it still won't hold a speed

I'll have to check the clutch switch tomoro to rule that out next.

clutch switch, this is what i need too, right ??

just one more question brian , what needs to be done to make the cruse control work when swapping the automatic transmission to manual

mmmm what an idea

looks like u scratched ur head realy good to come up with this

here is mine

318i is single cam engine
318is is twin cam engine

Finally u posted some pics. I still cant get over the seats, just kidding

oh by the way, u better take the wheel size sticker on the b pillar off, u don't want the cops to see it and then look at your wheels

wow, thats cool. how did u do it ?

finally i decided to pull the carpet off to have a look and see what's hiding under it. i was very impressed and happy, 25 years old car with no major rust. i cleaned with a rust converter thingy and sprayed it with a rubberized undercoating body deadener http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x211/spik...

i had a look at e46 racks, 2 of them have 3.4 turns and the other one is off 330i and have a 3.0 turns

What's wrong with these people

Can anyone confirm E36 compact racks have a ratio of 2.9? As that will probably be easier for find. I gave a local wrecker the Z3 part number and they said they could find me one. Went to pick it up, wrong part number was like 3.5 turns :( which wreckers did u go to ?? i have a few e46 racks with i...

Yes defiantly we should meet and maybe go out on a cruse. My car should be ready at the end of next month.

Where did u get the lsd from ?

them needles are made by the same firm that produces the dial covers and rings, I just cant find there web site. My old man remembers seeing them advertised on there ebay add's for sale is this the one ? http://cgi.ebay.com/Tachonadeldekore-BMW-E30-E32-E34-E36-E39-E46-Z3-Z4-X5_W0QQitemZ180205717441...

316's never came out in australia

it looks nice i like the colure and the kit. something diffrent.

doing the s50/s52 swap can be done, and its not very hard anymore, i know a guy in redcliff i sold him e30 shell and m3 3.2l engine a year ago. be ready to spend some $$$ if want to do it, but its well worth it.
