i tryde doing a search but i was on my phone and it just anoyed me...

thanks

can anyone point me to appletrees build tread for his car?

or does he not have one? ive been looking around and can find anything

thanks

Thanks for that, I do agree with you. But itb's are expensive and I have a set of carbs in my garage

I still want to go down the 2.8 24v route so I was just seeing if bike carbs could be done for cheap, as o won't get round to the 2.8 for probs over a year and a m42 looks quick and easy

So its got coil packs?

Can you use the standard engine management then?

185 main jets? i ran 170's on my 1.8 16v corrado on keihen carbs. didnt know that r1 carbs would need that size jet, whats the choke size? 45mm?

what engine management are you using? im wanting to do this soon

thanks for this thread, now i want to turbo a m42 when i get one

what you guys doing with the engine internals? can the bottom end cope with a fair bit of boost ?

anyone have any experince of them? bike carbs really, im hopefully getting a new e30 soon (been too long without one!!!!!) and i think its gonna be a 316/18 so would like to do a m42 transplant but run it on bike carbs (no haters please) what would be my options for running a m42 on carbs? mega jolt...

I purchased another E30 from an ASIAN guy in High Wycombe at the weekend. They had 6 of them sitting at thrent states of repair and decay.

why does it matter that he's Asian?
Just wondering not trying to make an issue out of it?

did you scrap yours?

im just looking for places that will come get mine

Ha, you can't have enough whores

Need to see how much wonga.com I have first but hope fully ill be going for a look at least

If I sell a few other parts and the engine/box I think ill just about be good

Lee, ill pm him and see if he has a link

That one magpie linked looks good, would be a nice daily while I sort out the roccos new engine?

I'm just glad I Didn't pay much for it and got some money back from selling the obc and ect.......

the pics i put up i could cope with, but the more rust i found today i just cant be botherd with!

whats with the hate for the more doors?

That does look nice, I think ill get rid of mine

Shame but its gonna be to much work.

As some of you may know I was going to do a 2.8i conversion on my e30, first I needed to get rid of some rust, no big deal..... Well I've found more and more, jacking points, inner f'n'r arches, inner f'n'r wings bottom of the windscreen....... need I go on? What do you guys think I should do? Keep ...

haha what a name for insurance

Bit of bad news, ages ago I got offered a e30 with a 3.5 engine, full leather and a LSD. It was a non runner due to the guy never finishing it off. Anyway went to. See him the other day and he's now gonna keep it !!!!!!!! Hes found out that lsd's fetch a bit of money and is either gonna brake it or ...

I'll be up this, probs gonna be going to a few of them anyway

I quite fancy seeing what 1/4 mile mine will do when its converted

Cool, well ill have to see cos I think he said he didn't save the ect or any of that stuff....

I don't need the engine/box anymore....

Off which one? M535?

I'm off to see the engine and that jazz tomorrow, basically its every thing from the under side of a e36 328.

what do I need? The engine, box , steering rack? Loom is a given, anything else? Fuel pump...

Does the e28 share brakes with the e30?

nice to see another moredoor

liking the stance

i need to do mine soon, same as yours really but with rust on the drivers side as well

and the inner arches where they meet the flat bit and the rear arches......

what do you guys use to seal it up with after?

325's with some good pads and disks?

I don't want to run 17's really, I waned to go with the 15" vw Sebrings I have kicking about

i think the alfa 4 pots go on mk1 golf based stuff, i know the rear 4 pots from a 944 s2 go on the front of mk2 golf hubs, but all that has nothing to do with a bmw!!! how hard is it to fit e36 legs? as im in the process of buying all the running gear off a e36. well it will just be the hubs ill wan...

i have managed to get my dad to put me on his trade insurance, well soon

his terms, one car at a time on his policy, i have to tell him when im gonna be in a car thats not insured by me or him and i have to pay what ever the price goes up by.
but its probs gonna be worth it
