Re: E30 M30 conversion Help

E30 M30 conversion Help
Started my conversion, engine is now in after purchasing the mounts from lee.
Tried to fire up this evening, it started. Went to restart it and nothing.
Doesn't seem to have a spark or fuel.
Running M30 engine Loom and ECU.
Any input would be great.

Re: Gear box flange removal from m20 box
Thank you lee,
Where the manifold joins the down pipe is hitting the bulk head? How can we resolve this or did yours not do this?

Fitting Coilovers Please Help
I am trying to fit coilovers on my BMW cab, Rears were no problem. The fronts are a different matter. How do I remove the front strut from the "holder" that strut sits in at the bottom. I've heard several things. No matter how hard we try it won't budge. Does it need to be cut & welded? Please help....

Re: Coilovers or springs, please help...
The drive doesn't bother me as such, I just sold my vw on the cheapest budget coilovers and I'm sure nothing will be as bad as that.
Looked in eBay springs & shocks approx £140. Is yours lowered 40/40?
