Re: Doing M30 swap, few Q's

Usually fits in position 2 with no fouling on the servo.

My m30's an auto but pretty much sure you have to use the m20 gear linkage.

No your m20 pas pump wont fit.

Best of luck, looks like a good setup you bought.

Re: My First e30, i'm soo happy :) :)

If its as tidy as it looks it would seem a shame to mess with it. Im usually quite bad for changing things and swaping parts. But that looks much too nice to molest IMO.

Nice find and congrats, Welcome to the zone

Re: best way to flush block of creamy oil??

get some forte crank case cleaner! stick it in the oil filler cap, run the engine til it get as hot as possible, then drain the oil whilst its still hot (careful). Be sure to change the filter.

A guy I worked with just after college before uni bought a rover 25, severly sludged up, on the cheap as the HG had gone.

From the small amount of info there is on the net it sounds like an expensive conversion but the sound they make just makes me :wan: Is there a known DIY way. If so id love to learn more and give it a go, i thought maybe motorbike TB's (off a 1300 bandit or R1 for example)

Re: Flat throttle response...?

Hmm, surely a strange one! Are you sure there isnt a flat spot on the throttle position switch? checking readings at closed and full throttle might not help diagnosis as probs the 1000-3000rpm part of the rotation angle are the most used and will wear out! Can you try it for a known good one?
