It's amazing what you can acheive with a bit of brute force and ignorance! Engine, gearbox and prop shaft out in one, dead easy.

They'll be two of us on the job so one will be able to guide the engine out whilst the digger lifts it.

Too late already off!

As title really, I'm taking my engine out this afternoon (hopefully!), will it come out with the gear box still on?

The weight of it all shouldn't be a prob as I'll lift it out with a digger, the head has also been removed.

I'm currently stripping my 325 engine down to break but its still in the car at the moment and I haven't got space to get in with a crane to lift the block out. So how much will i actually be able to get apart like this? Will I be able to remove the crank? Also anyone no the approx weight of the blo...

Just bought my suspension off me, souund bloke, went and paid cash straight into my bank account

Cheers for the fast payment

Any pointers on doing this would be greatly appreciated

I'm currently trying to fit a mongoose exhaust to my 325, the only problem is that the mongoose exhaust has a flange with 2 bolt holes on each pipe, where as my down pipes have flanges which have a 3 hole flange, now the old exhaust was a bit of a lash up of seemingly random bits and pieces. So is t...

Can anyone recomended a decent body shop that doesn't charge the earth in the high peak area, I need a fair bit of welding doing, archs, wings etc then I wouldn't mind a coat of paint being chucked over it.

I going on sunday, been meaning to do it for years.

Just hope the fckers race!

Just changed my plugs and there all pretty oily, whats the most likely cause of this? (ie what do I need to replace/rip to bits!)

What size batt you got? When fitting more than 2 amps or even one big one I always upgrade the batt to something like a diesel spec one.

Can I fit 215/40/17 rubber on to my 8" wheels (rear only)?

The cars currently lowered 60mm or so but I plan to raise this back up to around 30-40mm.

The arches need replacing to so I could always make some modifactions here if rubbing is going to be an issue.

The actual outer arches themselves aren't to bad, I was just planning on cutting/grinding the rust away and then filling it. However there's not much left of the inners at all, now I've found a few places selling the outers but not the inners, is this something you can buy off the shelf? If so where...

My rear inner arches are pretty rotten so I'm going to have to do something about them. If I went to a garage to get them replaced how much should I expect to pay (not including respaying)? However I'm considering replacing them my self as I have access to more or less all , has anybody on here done...

Well my last install robbed month's of my life, so I can kinda see the same happening again..... I have all the gear already though which is a bonus, I just need rip it all out of my cav and work out where to put it all!

Before using the search function I was all set on getting some Eibachs for my 325, as I've had them before on other cars and quite like them. But now I'm not so sure, so what options have I got for softish lowering springs. I don't want a drop of more than 30mm though as the cars currently lowered 7...

Hi, I've just bought an E30 325 and am about to embark on sorting out a system for it (well I willl be once its got an mot!) Anyway I just after some general info really: Front speakers: What size are they and how much space do you have around them? (the magnets on my mids are quite bulky) Sound dea...
