Got one - Thanks to CamB

Actally I only need the fitting at the speedometer end, I need to make up a custom cable to go from my Type 9 gearbox to the speedo. So if you have a damaged cable with a good end that would be perfec ...

Try checking the engine ground. Put a volt meter between the block & and the battery negative. It should show 0V when cranking. I had a similar symptom, as I cranked the voltage rise on the block wo ...

^Yes on the e30 too. The driver side mount will bolt right up but the passenger side of the block doesnt have the nubs to tap for mounts... so you have to do something custom to mount the passenger si ...

Yes, An e30 EFI manifold is a common way of putting fuel injection on a 2002. Mental note - need to remember to change the coolant outlet manifold as well - or the inlet manifold won't fit

The only problem I think you might have is that the dizzy on the E30 M10 spins the opposite direction than the 02's M10. So you might have problems with the camshaft. But I think all the other parts a ...

Hi,

My sons e30 318 (Alice) has developed a terminal sounding rattle. (Not all that surprising given it's current engine was purchased just for it's inlet manifold and pushed into service when Alic ...

Tommorow, thanks for the info, I really do appreciate it.

One question, I understand that your car is set up for rally, but how would you describe the ride, "Buckboard" or "Supple"

Again, thanks ...

Scroll down to the bit on the rear subframe

2002 Rally Car - "Inky"
2002 Project - "Veronica" (both named for their colours)

318 E30 - "Alice" because it lives next door to the 2002's

I'm using the reluctor to trigger the ECU and the rotor to distribute the spark. But I've welded up the the mechanical advance and will disconnect the vacuum advance (ECU handles all of that). I've a ...

Does anyone know how much axial clearance a distributor should have?.

Specifically a Bosch 0237002096 - an e30 one I'm adapting for use with my Link ECU. Last time I did this I based shimmed it up ...

A bit out in left field but,

If you changed the 3D cone to a 2D cone such that it only adjusted mixture as it moved in and out. Then if you connected the cone to a solenoid that was driven by a ...

Pukekohe, New Zealand.

At least I'm south of the Bombay hills, so I'm not an Aucklander!

I'm always a day ahead of most the posters here - hence the user name.

The workshop I go to deals with a shop in Brisbane called B.H.S.S.

They are an engineering outfit so should be able to take care of it.

Thanks for that, as it happens I have a brother in law i ...

Does anyone know a source of rebuild RHD steering boxes or someone that can rebuild them?. It would be nice if said company was in New Zealand but I'd also deal with an Aussie if I had to ;-).

No they're not in the same positions, to put an E30 subframe in 2002. the pins need to be 40mm wider apart and 30mm further forward.

Initially I'm thinking about a blend - E10 has just become available, but looking into my crystal ball suggests if I want to go on racing a classic car I better find something else to run it on - so 1 ...

I removed the heater by plugging the hose that runs to the heater and replacing the fitting at the back of the head with a plug. I don't know if is the "right" way of doing it but I don't have an ove ...

Hey DB - just so you're sure, this is a modified RHD pedal box - normally the clutch and brake master cylinder face the other way and sit in the engine bay. Check out the real oem link at the top of t ...

Thats an interesting setup. Did you modify it so you can have a brake bias control, or to create some more room in the engine bay?
.

Basically to have brake bias control, but getting the master c ...

Certainly

Ok but I would also call this a pedal box (mines a little modified from stock)

I think we're a actually having a disagreement over definitions. The end result is - you'd need this assembly to conve ...

There is no pedal box for RHD's.

Having never seen a LHD car I'm not sure of your definition of "pedal box". But the RHD cars definitely have a bracket assembly which holds all the pedals and the c ...

Just for the record we finished 21st out of 51 starters.

We had to do the last 2 stages on three shocks after the jump at Mystery Creek did this to our left rear one.

It's not too bad on tarmac, the set of tarmac tires I currently have aren't that flash so a set of semi slicks would improve things a lot.

I'm not a big fan of tarmac events because if you're going ...

Yes it runs quite high but my sump guard still has huge grooves in it.

Yes I did correct the camber,
