Right i have a full set up from a 1990 320i and im wondering will fit straight into a 1984 323i with manual steering?

As long as you have the pump mounting bracket i can't think why not.

shouldn't have a problem. however, im not sure if E30's have an engine compensator thingy (i cant actually remember the technical term for it!!) that stops your engine dying if you turn the steering when at low revs?

belt and pulley also needed

as well as the linkage from steering column to pas rack

doing my sport this week too

cool, i have these too but not the "compensator thingy"???

like i said, it might not have one. it will be built into the engine somehow, but it basically controls the revs of the engine at idle if put the engine under load at idle.

just ignore me!!!
