Cooling Issue 323i
Hi guys.
trackday at anglesey yesterday.....fantastic ! car was superb, however, radiator top seal blew at lunchtime. Is it worth and is there a larger radiator that i can fit? original 323i 1983 radiator done 81k so cant complain i guess.

Re: Converting a sport to manual
Just converted my 323i auto to 5 speed sport box. well worth the money. cost me £450 cash to a professional classic car mechanic. Plus of course the new clutch kit, new rubbers on the prop etc.
