I was digging around looking for parts for my m20 conversion and found this bracket that I picked up in parts trade several months ago.

If you're installing an E21 5sp, this bolts on using the stoc ...

Yeah that's not for me then. Craigslist is filled with so many cars with salvage titles. It takes a fair bit of damage to end up with a salvage title, but all of the sellers would like you to believ ...

I'm looking at a replacement for the little xA and found a nice looking but salvage titled xB. I'd like to see the carfax report before I go look at it. VIN is JTLKT324364031525

Would love to just ...

Found a couple of pictures in the projects section that confirm the mounting location of the upper bracket:

Hey Mike, what doesn't fit? I am pretty sure mine is using all stock brackets...

Hi Matt,

The exhaust is supposed to arrive today, can't wait to get it.

The issue, I think, is that I' ...

I finally got around to attaching the alternator bracket on my M20 and it was immediately clear that the alternator won't fit in the stock location. Searching the archives I can see what m20ohtwo did ...

Price change to $175 +shipping

I still have this head for sale. With as many rebuilds as I see going on right now, I'm sure *somebody* needs this. Make me a reasonable offer if you think $200+ shipping is too high.

Thanks,

M ...

Yep, for the M20 conversion. Just sent you an email, very interested. This would put me way ahead of where I am now with the exhaust!n I'll have to adapt it to 2.5" but that's the easy part.

I'll post this over on e30tech.com and the like, but I wanted to see if any of you had a set of used msds or e21 323 headers you'd be willing to part with. FedEx lost/destroyed/etc the msds headers I ...

That's where the room is when using calipers like these. Believe me I tried to work it out on the 10-12 and 3/9 o'clock positions. There just isn't room. As for the bleeders, these aren't the calip ...

It's been almost a year since I bought them, but I think they are pre-made braided lines for Jetta (95 or so) front calipers. The rears for the same year are too short. I did add some stubby little ...

Don't forget to check with your local parts places. I ordered from Eagle and got an OK deal. I figured there was no way my local BMW guy could do better, but he *could* match the price, and it was f ...

I'm being sent to Hanover for some training 5/18-5/23. Curious if there are any 02ers in that area that might want to grab a beer or something one evening. I'll be without wheels (thanks, company co ...

The answer to this question depends entirely on how you intend to use the car. If you could tell us that, you should get some useful responses.

As title says guys, what would be the best? ...

Thanks man. It's tough to say. I hope it's at least as stiff as what I removed! The rectangular section that supports the radiator is welded to the tops of the frame rail caps and to what's left of ...

After some late night prep the night before, I was able to drop the engine back in after work yesterday. Now the rest of the work begins. This is exciting!

It's because of the 320i driveshaft. I measured the one I had originally, then bought a rebuilt, resized replacement and it didn't fit like the old one. Sooooo, I get to move the CSB up and back. F ...

Thanks Anthony. There is a little bit of fisheye effect there that makes my little crap pile look more precarious than it really is. It's just plug wires, bits of hose and other non-denting things, m ...

After replacing the rear brake lines and a ton of other little chores, like reinstalling the subframes, rotors, hubs and things, it's back on the ground to have the engine installed. Just a few reass ...

I've lowered the price to $200 + shipping. That's as low as I'm willing to go.

Thanks,

Mike

Hey there John,

I had the same request the other day and posted to e30tech.com. I got some data back and found a table that gives what is supposed to be the stock AFR targets and ignition timing. ...

Use an 02 shaft and have the front section sized whatever trans you use. I had a 320i shaft laying around so I used that, but it's more work than it's worth, and probably isn't any stronger. CSB is ...

I bought this head with the intent of rebuilding the original M10 in my 75. I've decided not go through with it as it wouldn't be a very good fit no that I've done the M20 conversion. Anyway, the he ...

85 golf/Jetta TDI w/AC. Very similar to the scirocco of the same year, slightly different dimensions. I happened to find a used one cheaply that I used for mockup, then picked up the new one.

We've finally had some warmer weather lately so I took advantage of it and painted my engine compartment. I did a lot of painting several years ago and even got paid for some of it. Here's what I le ...

www.boostengineering.net had the EDIS coil pack boots last time I checked. I think I have about ten of them now and don't need them as I am going with COP. Bought a set of generic DIY V8 wires from ...

Those are Bosch Escort wires cut to length with silicone MSD ends. The MSD ends were a pain in the ass to install but they worked well.

Mike

What plug wires are these from?

I realized that I could be programming my MS-II on the crappy days so ordered a stim, then changed that order to a JimStim kit. Put it together last night and am testing it tonight. It's much more c ...
