I have put some new videos into my original post. Also I can't see anything twisted or misaligned with the chassis so not suspecting anything like that for now.

Hi Guys. Just wondering if you guys with S50B32's could check something out for me. I am using a 3.0l ZF Gearbox behind my motor and for some reason it sits on an angle, either that or the motor is not aligned. Here are some Videos I got, I don't know what my issue is, whether the motor is sitting t...

I did not make any modifications to them, this is their work. when I brought them to shops to ask on price to get them fixed, and get a load of this ... Richard said I am trying to make profit and benefit financially !

Ladies and Gentleman. I give you Fritz Bitz exhaust manifold, this is how thin the metal of the headers were where the cracks are. Almost every cylinder had cracks in it. http://s12.postimg.org/xayjp2219/a5da12e8_56dd_48c5_8cc3_b48aba50a69c.jpg This is how the ports looked like http://s16.postimg.or...

I did demand a refund, but Rich (Fritz) said that the warranty lies with the manufacturer (who Fritz subcontracts his work to) and not himself, even though the money went directly into Fritz account and all communication before the sale was with Fritz and nobody else. So after further talks, they to...

Guys, what I'm saying is for any substantial money - the results I have gotten are fairly poor. Both Fritz and BTB prices while do differ somewhat are still a substantial amount of money and comparing how a BTB manifold looks to the Fritz one I'm looking at right now, is day and night difference - t...

Hi. Well after 3 attempts to manufacture an exhaust manifold, the end result is poor and tacky looking, especially for a £750 Manifold from Fritz Bitz. I would have been totally fine of these results for a fraction of the price, but not for 750 big ones and also customs fee's I paid whenever I recie...

I'd like to not name anyone for the moment if it's not going to help. Here is how most of the ports look at the moment, manifolds still with supplier waiting to be sent. Given the workmanship issues I've had before, I really do not know what to expect in terms of quality and longevity aswell. As for...

It wasn't off here directly as in a for sale ad, but was recommended/mentioned on here. It's for a S50B32 to an E30 conversion. At first the ports were very bad, so I sent it back and they port matched it, but it came back with cracks/gaps in the pipes on every single cylinder, in which they respond...

I'll hold onto names at the moment, I'd just like some suggestions or guidance on what to do as it's been a massive screw around.

Hi Guys. This has been a long time coming, but I'm at crossroads on what to do. I had an exhaust manifold made for an engine conversion into an E30 by Fritz Bitz. I am overseas and this was made in the UK. It cost about 750GBP and the product quality and workmanship was below average. I had no idea ...

Hi Guys.

I gave it a go and it ended up being possible. First I pulled the loose pins/wires through the fusebox hole, then the connectors inside the fusebox. Now I began pulling the entire wiring loom through slowly threading it through. The C101 connector comes out last once everything is out.

I guess it looks like it requires for almost half the interior body loom to be pulled through the firewall to do it this way. Has anybody successfully pulled the engine bay loom through the fusebox hole without the need to cut the terminals off, I'd rather save myself the time of re crimping all tho...

Hi Guys. The situation is, I am moving the wiring out of the way so the engine bay can be painted. Now all the headlight harnesses have been unclipped and they are all lose, so that takes care of the front end. The issue is, I am not sure how to make way for the area under/around the fusebox. First ...

Hi. I'm stripping all the wiring from my engine bay and I need to be able to remove the vertical headlight adjustment pipes from the headlight adjusters. How do these pipes unclip or slide off, I cannot figure it out. These are the cream coloured pipes that run from the switch insider, through the f...

I wouldn't think so because it is part of the OBC Loom, not the main E30 dash loom.

Both of those plugs are somehow related as one of the red wires from the bottom one loops to the top plug, and other red wire goes to the OBC horn plug

Anybody have any idea where they connect?

I have other two plugs that goto the OBC relay box, but the ones pictured above I cannot find out where they connect, does not seem to be for the immobilizer as there is other plugs that i found for that (tap into a green plug near the junction box). Still cannot figure out where bottom two goto. I'...

OK well I seem to have figured out it is a 2 wire plug that takes the place on a plug that has just a looped wire on it. Now I am left with a few plugs that I am unsure of. These two here (that I originally thought were for immobilizer, are for something else, they seem just to connect to each other...

Hi. I'm installing an OBC into my E30. I've got the two plugs where one is female and other is male, I believe these are the ones that would tap into some pre-existing connector on the car so they run through the harness. But I cannot find them anywhere, are they near the glovebox, or near the ignit...

Hi bss325i i have just Pm'ed you please give me the link to your ebay listing. Another question - about exterior air temp, - Do i just need to buy the sensor - and does the OBC harness have a plug that can reach all the way to the bonnet area? Do I need some sort of Module for my instrument cluster ...

Hi. Basically I got a 1990 E30 325i that has a Analog clock, and i want to put an OBC in it. I see many E30 OBC's on ebay, but basically is there a harness that will come off any car that will plug and play, or does there have to be wire splicing/cutting required due to connectors being different or...

Any info on how to fit the Clio one without cutting the chassis? I always imagined if your moving the booster over you need to drill extra holes for the bolts, and cut the hole open to allow it to fit. Which Master cyl and reservoir to use with Clio booster? Does the rod mechanism inside the dash ne...

Is there any difference in using E30 or E36 M3 linkage?

Arent they the same length?

Because from what i see the UUC DSSR suits E36 and E30, which would mean then E30 and E36 links should be interchangeable?

Hi Guys. I've gotten mixed opinions on this, some say the stock E30 pump works fine, but others say it does not produce enough pressure as S50 needs 5 Bars. I have seen a guide on putting a E36 M3 pump into a E30 housing/bracket but it seems to be quite some work, maybe the guide im reading makes it...

Hi Guys. I am wondering what brake booster gives the best clearance and requires least cutting to the airbox to fit. From what I understand there is no brake booster that will clear the airbox out there, without having to move it to the right. I am looking for a brake booster that will install onto ...

Hi.

I am looking to fit a thinner radiator to my E30 325i (Facelift) to get more clearance for fan options with S50 conversion.

I have heard that a E24 radiator can work. What modifications if any need to be done to make this Fit into an E30 Facelift?

Thanks.

Hi Guys. I'm assuming this would apply to both S50's and M50's, I got an S50 but I'm asking in the M50 thread since I may got some more views, as I assume the engine would sit in the same general area. I know with a ZF 5 Speed 328i or M3 Box, a 328i driveshaft is bolt-in and the correct length with ...

Hi Guys. I know that if using the ZF E36 M3 5 Speed, a 328i Driveshaft works fine and will bolt right upto the factory E30 Diff and be correct length. How about with the ZF Getrag 6 Speed? Because my Motor I got comes with a Getrag 6 Speed which I'm contemplating using. Which driveshaft is known to ...

Hello. Just wondering if somebody could explain this. When the car is cold the gearbox Shifts fine, maybe tad bit harsh at times, but when it warms up it's really bad, you have to shift extremely slow for it to be smooth, otherwise any normal shifting will crunch. Somebody has told me the gearbox co...

Hi. I am having a issue with my brake switch, I even tried a new one and it does the same thing. Once I adjust it correctly it will work fine but if I either let go of the brakes real quickly, the pedal travels with too much force and causes the brake switch to "click in", and then brake lights perm...

Don't waste your time with the Entry level Pioneer stuff. Go the TS-D Series if you want a decent sounding set of 6 x 9's. The current TS-D Series has very impressive Bass, you won't even need subwoofers

I have a spare 325i Bootlid that I will measure up and post. It appears it is all original.
