I used the hex bolt spot on the front of the oil filter housing.

Have you got a working '175' numbered ecu for sale? and would you be willing to post to Australia?

Suspension / control arm removal w/o damage?

« on: September 10, 2011, 08:03:08 AM »

Yeah, those things are the way to go. I can confirm the cheap cast iron ones are crappy too. I found that one of the fork ends would snap off if you had a really stubborn ball joint, and hence snapped two of the seperators during one job..... I'll be investing in a steel one soon :-)

• Might need to mess about to get clearance on the EM on a RHD car, I've had knocking problems as my engine mounts are a little soft. Might try and E36 EM to see if it helps with clearance.

Hi, Just wondering if you ended up trying an e36 exhaust manifold in the end? or whether you came up with another solution??

Took my car to bathurst for a hillclimb last weekend, and at some stage, my whiteline sway bar bent my endlink mounts on the trailing arms...I'm in the middle of fabricating and welding some reinforcements like TMS's solution.... :-)

I think my second gear synchro is on the way out too. :0

For Sale / My e30 M42 setup

« on: July 01, 2011, 10:11:29 AM »

Here are some photo's of the intake as i installed it.
I just got an AFM adapter from ebay, and a slightly smaller hose clamp, because the one supplied for hooking up to the AFM adapter was just a little too big. I kind of screwed the flex pipe into the headlight cover too...

I bought one of these CAI's off you a couple of months ago. I think it definitely gave my m42 a bit of extra pull at higher revs and the induction note at full throttle is cool too!
