that e28 touring is

i want one

One free 'mod' you should do fairly soon, if you are sticking with the standard front seats, is to remove them, swap over the tilt/height adjuster mechanisms and seat belt ends, and refit the seats on the opposite sides, so that the passenger seat is now the driver's. This will nearly double the li...

what a sh1t piece... i wouldnt take it for free, no doubt some moron who knows nothing about bm's will buy it for the weekly cruise night down to tesco's car park...

bought a steering rack from him, wrapped it up really well, and it was cheap! and delivered via courier fast! cheers

top fella, bought a cylinder head from him, he wrapped it really well and very securely and went out of his way ,to take it to where he worked for the courier to pick up... wouldnt hestate to buy anything from him again

got some centre caps from him, delivered them super fast and they were in great condition, just as described, top fella

cheers brian, a lot easier than i thought it would be !!!

nice one cheers...

hi, am in the process of re-building my m20b25 head that i bought from jay, and truth be told im a bit of an amateur, ive got the head down to a bare head now, and will be sending it off for re facing crack testing etc, and im not worried about rebuilding it... however i am concerned about mating it...

spot on mate, brilliantly packaged by the way! it took me about 15 minutes to unwrap it lol!!! it was like xmas! thought it would be like, was just a little worried, bit of an amateur you see !

started to rebuild my head today and noticed that the cam shaft would not rotate by hand when turning the pulley? is this normal ? (head off the car)

got some female torx sockets on order so will have a go with a socket wrench when they arrive?

cheers paul

just seen that lol almost identical to mine asside from that one appeared to have a proper engine lol

ill be intrested to hear a reply on this !

the head unit is after market and has the harness butchered to fit an iso socket! and i can find any loose wires behind there unfortunately! i assumed they would have been taped to a main loom somewhere? if i can find em ill just run some new ones reackon thats me best bet

installed my speaker pods in the rear of my touring today, linked them up to the existing wires in the rear of the car however cannot find the other end of the cables behind the head unit??? any help would be greatly appreicated!

regards Paul

personnally wouldnt part with more than a grand for it, anything more than thats a bit rich used prices are rock bottom atm and i wouldnt risk not getting me cash back! looks nice though, i do like shiny engines!

im still after a new pas rack for me touring, can we get this straight ! can i fit an e36 rack without modifiying nything but the pas pipes??? im lost in all this rack talk! lol if i have to modify i think ill just stick to the old e30, nyone got one near teesside???

well its got a plug on one side that connects to the pod, (nearside) but hasnt on the other as far as i can see, will explore further tommorow and let u know!!!

just received my speaker pods from spadge (cheers) ive just been rooting around looking at how they go in and have noticed that only one side of the car appears to be pre wired with a plug to receive them??? is this correct? and also i plugged one of them in to see if they worked and got nothing so ...

i always brim my 318i tourer (m40) and get 300 - 350 to a tank this is all non motorway work however i imagine when i start my new job at nissan in washington it should improve it is about a 80 mile round trip, 70ish of which on the A19 i expect 400 or so to a tank when i commence!

i believe thats called sods law!

cheers guys seems reasonably straight forward by the sounds of things the tricky bit is going to be finding a decent m20!!! a donor car sounds like a good idea! then flog spares from it to help ease the financial burden! suzie 650, notice you got a little bit at the bottom of your post that says m20...

thats great thanx very much lads!!!

just purchased some rear speaker pods off spadge for my tourer wondering if anyone has any pictures of these instaled, as i dont really know where they go!!! i googled them but no joy!

now then!! i want more power in my touring and been pondering an engine swap, and decided to start gathering parts/info to do the deed in the spring/summer, just wondering what to put in the old girl! and how easy it is because im afraid im a bit of an amateur with the spanners! im not bad but also ...

nice ride alex, i do like the coupe's has she got recaro or comfort interior? i reckon the 316i m40's are still great fun, my dad used to have one and loved it, same colour too!

Guisborough eh. One of our members on here with a rather special 325 with E36 M3 power lives round your way. My old man used to work at Guisborough Motor Co on the high st about 30 years ago really ! e36 m3 power id love a look at that!, i remeber guisborough motor co i think, its now a pine furnit...
