What do I do?!

Right folks got a bit of a pickle. See this thread -
http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... hlight=oil

Basically the headgasket has been trickling a little oil since the rebuild. Its nothing serious but when you come back after a drive it leaves a few drops to a teaspoon of oil on the ground.
The car itself is running brilliant and isnt smoking or using any water etc. In fact its running so well Im loving every time I take it out now as it just pulls really hard and sounds absolutely amazing. The car was able to pull slowly away from my friends UK Impreza before it went bang and it feels even quicker now!
Because of this I dont want to have to take the whole thing apart again just to change the gasket incase for some reason when it goes back on its not as good.

Thing is though, Im going to be buying an Integra very soon and will most likely be selling the BMW. Is a leak like that likely to put off buyers? If so its probably best that I get it changed.

i guess if they notice they will start asking questions mate. and you may lose money off your asking price.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Shame to have to take it all apart though for a small leak.

I think your going to have to bite the bullet on that one mate. It shouldnt be a massive job though.

You buying an integra tryp R? They are awesome cars

[Adammcf]

Yeah I was going to get an E36 M3 or an RX7 but Ive always wanted an Integra since owning a CRX VT a few years ago and now Im going to get one for a year or two and then get a nice E46 M3 instead.
The ITR is the only FWD car I'd consider buying now and they are brilliant cars. Anyone who thinks they are bad as they are FWD needs to go drive one. They are better cars to drive than most RWD cars!

Integra is an awesome car, much better on a track than on a road though. Prices are very high, stilll about 8k for a 80k miler. You can get a much newer civic type r with less miles and better engine for the same money.

I'd still go for the teg tho.


And yes, change the HG, especially if you can do the job yourself.

Good choice mate, they are amazing cars. Very similar to the e30 M3 in many ways.

As far as the e46 M3 goes - i think you will be disapointed mate ( i was ) Get a 996 porsche instead, they are great cars to drive.
