Good morning all!, Maybe it is time to start a new groupbuy for the manifold! We can start todat with that. And let´s see if we can get a number of 10 people again. We can do it the same at the first group buy 200£ posted to the UK. Best regards, Louise Hottuning_eu What the hell! For £200 I'll giv...

Thanks James for taking the time to post that.
You happy with the drive ie. the sound, performance etc (if any different)?

I wonder if that problem with the oil filter is a common one with tubulars.

All that for 200 squids!
Looks like value for money.

Nice one James. Thanks.

Thanks James.
I've got the dough itching to be spent so I for one will be interested how you do. Especially too as you're mating it up to a Scorp.

"Re-welding" and "porting".

What? Was it really necessary? Or did Agent's car have something else going on?

Is everybody happy with their manifold now. Is it safe to assume all issues have been resolved?

John, my boy... Long time no see. 'ey up Omi! Yes indeed, been quite awhile. Hope you're well. I haven't been on here for yonks. Nice to see you're still about. :) Come for a ride in mine, you'll bin the M20 the following day! ;) What's this then? Have you gone all 24-valve or something. :roll: :wi...

Problem is still outstanding then.
Thanks for the update fellas. Hope you all get it sorted quickly and smoothly.
Must be costing HT in repeat carriage, esp. to far away places like Melbourne.

I'm really keen to hear how this goes as I may or may not get one of these.

Has this issue been fully resolved for all concerned yet? (eg. BMracing etc.)

At the discounted price? By any chance ?

Or has that ship well sailed.

Odd isn't it.

Just thinking, the only thing I haven't checked or replaced is the rubber hose to the slave. It could be expanding under the pressure if it's an old piece. I shall have a look.

Where does your clutch bite? Is it similar to mine?

I did Iain.
I remember double checking at the time.

Hi. My clutch is biting quite low. Probably a bit too low for my liking. Feel like I'm having to really streeeeeeeeeeeeeetch my size 12 boot. I'd say the bite is about an inch of the floor. Is that the norm? I ask because it was an auto and has been converted to manual and have never driven an e30 m...

wtf

I can only agree with the previous posts. Absolutely brill.

Got an engine, box and diff from him. He even delivered them and helped me shove 'em into me garage! A big thanks for that mate.

You can buy from Ian with total confidence.

Just wondering what the general opinion is.... ....say u see 2 e30 cars, identical in every way except for the gearbox. One is a manual and the other is an auto. Which would fetch more dough. Does it depend which e30 we are talking about? eg. a manual Sport would fetch more than an auto version. Wha...

The plate normally has "Gearbox Side" printed on it.

Sounds like you need to tune your radio

Are you hearing it when you're inside and outside of the car?

wouldn't I be able to switch all of the parts from the manual car to the auto like the clutch, etc? Sorry, didn't see that bit. You'll save a load of dough on parts if you already have the donor and the clutch is worth using. If you require someone to remove the donor parts first as well as fit the...

If you have all the parts and you took it to a professional mechanic you would need to allow for a day's labour. But i would get a quote/price for the job first. I would guess circa Ã‚£400 and don't forget VAT. Personally, I would not pay that kinda money. I would probably look at selling the car an...

[The trouble is a roll of Kunifer isn't that cheap plus he would need to buy a flaring tool and the fittings etc. . The last time I bought some it was about Ã‚£8, IIRC, but that was before the massive copper price rise of last year. Might be in for a shock the next time I buy some! Fittings were le...

I read somewhere that in olden days, it used to part of a special service to remove of the pure copper pipe and anneal it to reverse the onset of cracking due to vibration. Would have been an expensive service. Maybe as much as 12' 6d

Sounds like they are planning on dropping the cross-member to get access to the 3 way.

I'd go with Brian's suggestion on this one.
Sounds like lack of fuel pressure either thru supply or regulator.
Hope you get it sorted.

I had one fail on me once in the middle of winter. Only blew freezing cold air. Used have to drive to work with my big winter coat on and thermo gloves.

I swapped the heater control valve and all was well. You don't appreciate something until it's gone.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 50mph in 2nd. Sounds like a standard box to me with the standard 3.91 Touring diff.

Have you removed the plastic caps/coverings at the rear of the headlining. Should reveal the hinge bolts.

"DOESNT LIKE GOING INTO GEAR IN THE MORNING"

Could be the gearbox oil. As it warms up the gear change should get easier. A gbox oil change might be on the cards.

It would have said check your hydraulic cylinders but you've already replaced them. Next thing that springs to mind is maybe the clutch release bearing and splines need greasing. I wonder how old is the clutch is.

Re: the pedal box. I found it easier not to replace the whole box. Instead I just removed the main bolt, removed the big brake pedal, insert the longer bolt from the donor pedal box and include the new brake pedal and clutch pedal. The pedal box is the same on both auto and manual. Saves pissing abo...
