You might have trouble boring out to 2.7
Have you read the sticky? http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... ic&t=89665
Why don't you tell us where you live, maybe someone can help you with some where to get the work done then.

You don't bore for 2.7, you need a longer throw crank.
About a year ago I was pricing-up a full rebuild - done properly with the bores honed, new piston rings, all the gaskets, check the big ends and mains, new shells, head skimmed, etc, etc. I gave-up when it came to over £1k. As an example, piston rings were £25+VAT per pot IIRC, so there's over £170 for starters.

This is why I no longer drive an E30......
Oh ok i thought they were simply bored out but this dont seem the case.. ooops, I live in leamington spa, What do you guys think about the change from auto to manual..? any long term effects in a bad way or is it nothing to worry about.? cheers
