Yeah strangely I have to come moredoors now over the toe doors, I guess it's being around it all the time. But for £2,500, 26,000 on the clock and garaged since 1985 it was a pretty good deal I think

M42 engine rebuild parts...

So I'm looking for timing chain kit, bottom end bits and head bits, basically I'm doing a full rebuild. Where's the best place to get parts.
It seems to be quite a pain in the ass to find all the bits!

Re: 318is duel mass flywheel

So it sounds like we have decided it is a worth while upgrade. I plan on doing it in the coming months...
My next question is, when I take it to the engineering shop what shall I ask them to do? As in, where's the best place to remove the weight? And is there any complications that need to be noted?

Re: 318is duel mass flywheel

i can imagine an S50 E30 drive slightly diffrent to an M42, so it would be wrong to judge IMO, we need some opnion from people who have actually done the mod and driven the car in all driving conditions
