good comms and item as described no worries here for buyers
Cheers Pal

If anybody's interested I will swap my manual rack for a pump and brackets and pulley its in good nick and working perfectly.

I've been in the trade for 15 years and to be honest I've seen the decline of the motor mechanic take a steep dive in the last few years.To qualify you have to go to collage once a week and sit in front of a computer and answer multiple choice question and hey presto you are now a fully fledged mech...

great thanks for that , now to find one with a working speedo

anybody know if a later model instrument panel (post facelift) will work on my 84 model , I am just concerned about the different types of injection system causing problems
Cheers

Mine has a new clutch , fluid and slave cylinder and also expensive fully synthetic oil and it has made bugger all difference , I think its just the oil being too thick when cold so I am going to try the ATF oil route next.

I cant see it costing much more than Ã‚£150 buying used parts
Yes i will be doing the work myself

I will be doing this conversion too dom, but i want to run the spark through the original distributor after i weld it all up inside so that the engine still looks original .
(I've got some Alpina 2,3 pistons if your interested)

a smooth transaction with good comms
Cheers Tom

you must be loaded jkarran, you own a pool table

nice work by the way

i think its a tad higher than that but still well under 3000 ,been a while since i've driven her

its got the normal (stiff)shift pattern
sorry to highjack the thread

Simon
would you perhaps know what diff my C1 would have as it appears to be revving very low in top gear

Arrange a drivebye shooting by a kid on a BMX

fit some spacesaver wheels on the back from a Golf and get an LSD in there, you will be a drift king

i would stick with the 2,7 option so when you open the bonnet it all looks standard ,and of course you can deny that the motor has been tweaked when you waste standard 2,5s

you left the goal WIDE OPEN there Max

and if you want to weld alloy you'll need an AC/DC mig welder ,about Ã‚£1200

can i use any injector with the megasquirt system or does it have to have a certain resistance/type ?

Can anyone tell me a little about these cars? What do they offer over a normal 325?

Chris.

the fact that you can park your car in a car park full of E30's and still spot it a mile off

what stonegaurd would you recommend beardymat

wheres the piccies

at least he doesnt have to fit a bonnet vent now

might want to get under the car with some WD as the rear bolts for the seat and the seat belt runner go through the floor ,what i did was turned the bolts one turn and then gave it a good spray from the top to allow it to run down the threads .came back after a beer and they came out a treat

try this stuff its ace just dont let it dry out (keep it out of the sun)

might be interested if i can get my clutch in this week not far from Grimsby is it (relatively speeking)

perhaps the rolling road place lied so that they could make it look like they improved the power drastically or something like that? I knew a guy that dyno'ed bikes and all he used to do was mess about with the air temp/pressure correction factor on the first run so it looked like the bike was down...

i flat off with some 2000 grit and then power polish with some 3M Finnese-It comes up lovely and is easy to wipe off afterwards just make sure you have enough paint on so you dont flat through

i remember a while back seeing someone has fitted six piston calipers from a seven series cant remember which one though, maybe try a search (failing that go for a parachute)

i guess i will stick with the GSF part then only Ã‚£115 delivered so not too bad,all i need now is a volunteer to fit it for free

Cheers all

a bit of both really, was wondering if maybe an M3 clutch or 325i would be considered an upgrade(its a323i) but not sure if it will fit,there will also be a capacity increase soon so i have to take that into consideration

should i go GSF or stick with the original parts , i would think they are probably made in the same place anyway, any ideas
Cheers folks

you guys reckon its worth stripping the suspension off my 36 scrapper for ebay before it goes , i cant really be arsed but i would hate to miss out on a few pound

not that i'm trying to post lots of pics of the C1 or anything but here you go

Alpina badges should only be on an Alpina
