£5.10 for a valve

Will have it tomorrow

£5 is a bit of a mickey take isn't it! oh well.
They are soaking in WD40 so will have a crack at them next weekend and see how it goes.

Thanks all

34111153197 thats the part number
For my reference so I can order the parts ;)

Oh and another question anyone know what colour RBF600 is supposed to be?

Went to replace the brake fluid today only problem faced was the fact that the rear offside valve has seized solid typical first one to do too. Trying to free it off just led to it getting less and less nut shaped. So I will order a replacement (maybe two) just in case. Just to check, what happens w...

Aha genius. Its for an 88 325 M20b25. Doh of course it would to help to know which engine wouldn't it.

Don't suppose anyone knows the diameter of the following:
* Coolant hoses - there are few different I know
* Air intake - someone has bodged some crummy extension on mine

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. We are racing in the CSCC Future Classics got out at Cadwell and Snetterton with them this year. At Cadwell we managed a few laps before limping off the track, we finished at Snetterton. First race, 40 starters and we finished 26th. Very pleased with that. Been doing a lo...

So it looks like our 2nd engine in 3 months is on it's last legs and it it was a horse you'd shoot it. Our first M20b25 lasted some 14 trackdays and 3 laps at Cadwell. Its replacement quali and race at Snetterton and 2 days at Oulton. It then spat its coolant out and looks like it won't be coming ba...

I have to admit our first engine (suffered) 14 trackdays the first 10 or so without a baffled sump and only failed at Cadwell. The second is yet to be diagnosed, it hasn't fatally expired as yet just suffering from this oil pressure and temperature problem. We also worked out for the cost of a handb...

It would make sense actually that x/30 is too thin especially at temperature. It looks like we need to seek assistance of a informed engine builder who can build a box fresh unit rather than us using 20 year old engines and them failing understandably. :( it hurts just to think about how much cash t...

M20b25 std using Toyo R888 on Spax adjustable. Track was full circuit at oulton so CW.
Oil cooler is fitted, std BMW part. Radiator and fan std. Last coolant change is a good question, a while back....

bump for the weekday crowd

Anyone got any ideas?

Oh yes of course it might help knowing what the car is ;)
Its a 325.

We were out at Oulton yesterday in the race car and had some weird goings on. We replaced the engine one race and two track days ago. In that time we've also change the oil and filter. We are using Fuchs 5w/40 Semi-Synth Whilst on track we could notice immediately that the engine was making a tickin...

Yep less than 150 from BMW, we will be doing this as mentioned.

Answered my WTD post for a replacement engine for our race car. Engine delivered in a very timely fashion, very easy to deal with. Well recommended.

With your help we sourced and replaced our engine and will be back out testing in no time

Only just seen the replies sorry guys.
Replacement engine sourced from WTD board here and being fitted later this week. Hopefully we will be testing next week.

Thats the guy/car

Well in our first outing with the CSCC in the Future Classic the inevitable happened to our poor engine. Resulting in it ending up with a significant additional hole in the block. Bad news. So we need a new engine and ideally someone who may know how best to fit it. We were at Cadwell and obviously ...

Well the PC680 arrived today. It's tiny.....

Looking to replace the existing battery that weighs as much as a small planet with something lighter and more lithe.

Looking at an Odyssey or Red Top any recommendations?
Which model have others used.

I agree with the above. I would probably be able to tell you if it was racing, feels like it's the only thing I've read for ages. However the Rallying section is totally different and I haven't ventured there.

What sort of bolts do people recommend fitting these with? and which washers too I guess.
M8 ISO grade 8.8 - Any ideas on ideal length? and whats the ISO thing all about then ?

Moggy - There you go something to aim for, wonder if we can do anything that looks that good.....

Top effort.

Real OEM doesn't really come up with much....

Wonder if someone knows the answer. Our 325 has the battery installed in the boot, looks like it was like that from the factory rather than installed later. At some stage there must have been something securing the battery but this has gone awol. So what does secure the battery in? and will it pass ...

Bought today. Lifelife 2000 clubman, 2.25kg mechanical. Paid just over 100. Not as cheap as Rally Design but I needed a lot of bits as well.

Interesting I only commented about removing these a week ago whilst changing the pads.
Will do it next time around.

Ste, that is brilliant thank you for the pics.
We removed the sunroof cage today. What a poxy job.
Going to get the panel sorted sharpish to replace. What was the thickness of the steel you used?
Was thinking of using 2mm stainless but will go thiner if regs allow.

I'll try a search too. Baffled sump is awaiting welding to repair it

Coolest tow car in the paddock

We've bought a trailer and it'll be going off the road shortly. Cheaper than taxing, insuring and MOT'ing it every year only to drive it to and from race tracks. Horrible to drive on the roads now anyway.

Actually thats a good question. Just seen your picture with the two at the front how have you fitted them? any more pictures including under bonnet ones ?
