Re: The M20B26 thread

The piston will only protrude up by .9mm. You can get thicker BMW gasket or you can get MLS gasket from the states.

Just to be safe maybe cut deeper valve relieves a¤”

Re: Anyone interested in a Zone Dev blog?

Found Wordpress easy to work with, just lacked in the range of skins at the time. Maybe that has changed now but it was still my preferred CMS.

Going to browse through some of my hard drives as I might still have some screen shots stored lol

Re:

Car looked a stunner, will be very difficult to get another like for like so you really do need to squeeze as much as you can from the insurance. It looks like a sport, was optioned like a sport so it's a sport and therefore you must send in prices of E30 325i sport's.

Yea I didn't want to sell it wife leaning on me Seems like the wife figured you out that you was only listing it on her insistence but had no real intention of selling it as you was enjoying it so much... so maybe she made it disappear? 8O It's a possibility, women are never to be trusted :o

Now either your just naive or plain silly... get expensive listings of 325i sports and you may get enough insurance payout to buy yourself a nice e92 M3

My earliest memory is of 2 E30s when I was 4-5 years old in around 93-94. One was a 323i which belonged to my uncle and was garaged at my house everyday. http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah205/87mtech27/20150414_153159_zpspkutbhkw.jpg http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah205/87mtech27/20150414_1...

Re: Alpina c2.7 advice

OP I don't think you can't be too picky with regards to colour or spec when it comes to choosing a Alpina C2 2.7 as most likely none will meet your criteria spot on. Just be sure it's genuine with paperwork to prove and go from there. M3 is a totally different car to the 6 pots, basically its a race...

C2 2.5 is 185bhp then? Shame no one has opened and documented the c2 2.5 engine to see how it was built... Most likely 130mm rods, flat mahle pistons and guessing the same head as c1 2.3.
