Looks like his "0" key got stuck down... of the road for 15 years, scrap value at best? Even the petrol in it will be goosed!

All sounds good, I'll make my self available :) About time I got my car dyno'd. Although its one of those I'm sort of dreading incase its bad!

Yeah and would probably split its bottom end bearings out quicker than a 2 dollar hooker! BMW engine FTW, very strong and capable motors. There was a chap on e36coupe.com (i';m sure bigjim will be along to remind me who it was) that had a 318is coupe that had done 280k or something stupid by the time it died, he thought the cam chain had snapped... Turned out to be the water pump that had failed but he had already bought a new car, so he sold it and last I heard soemone else was running about in it. Never even had a head gasket!

haha have you just won that? Only trying to help:p To be fair that one I posted was a nice little car, no idea what I would do with it but almost felt like calling the guy and giving it a new home!

An interesting site with bits of info about what was where at what year etc. http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/bmw.html Fantastic site for searched for part numbers and what fits what etc http://www.realoem.com Good sounding engine http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-318-TI-M44-ENGINE-64-000-MILES-/200610828800?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb5565200 Good sounding gearbox http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-gearbox-318-M44-engine-E36-/330567132697?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf7562619 Complete and nice looking car, would be a shame to break that! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201112383025357/sort/priceasc/usedcars/model/3_series/make/bmw/page/1/radius/1500/keywords/318is/postcode/la29pw?logcode=p Damit I almost wish it was me doing it now :D

Ah yeah I can imagine your quite restricted with space! Yeah means you can look for any 318is E36 coupe, if it helps they also had discs on all corners as well if your doing a running gear conversion? Is there an issue with using an M42 motor? 1.8 still 16v and 140bhp?

I'm sure you already know, but if you want to widen the search the 318is (not a 318i) which was a coupe only in the e36 range right up to the last year of production also has a 16v engine, it did change from a 1.8 to a 1.9 but the output was the same, 140bhp. Great project. Pitty a 6 won't fit though! I believe there are now several aftermarket turbo'ing kits for the M42/44 motor and they respond very well to it if you fancy a little more poke ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TURBO-KIT-BMW-E36-4-CYLINDERS-318i-318is-TI-M42-M44-/170394523720 (Although I dont know if the ebay kit is any good!!!!!)

You'll get more issues running multiple antivirus software... as they will fight one another. If thats what you mean of course.

Ah good good! I did think "thats a shock when you announced the other one for breaking, glad its because of the arrival of a new one! :D Looks good! TT I assume? Jolly good!!

Yeah I saw this on Bookface as well, amazing really! Good luck to them both. :)

Welcome mate, which car have you got your eye upon? A car forsale on the forum? Or one from elsewhere? Dont forget to check out the buying guide. - http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/BuyingZ.htm Also dont be affraid to ask questions/search the forum often worth checking things to be sure!

Yeah I think so mate, other than that its a boost leak test. But since that isnt working its a likely candidate I would have thought... two birds with one stone and all that!

Yup! The little pipe split on my first zed at one point so had to find it, really tucked into almost under the scuttle panel

I would say yes a boost leak, do you know why the stock boost gauge doesnt work? Could be that the pipe to it has popped of - hence why it doesnt work and would explain your boost leak nicely!

LOL just how it should be as well.

auto or manual? Auto £1000, manual £1500 at a push. No tax or mot, and high milage its basically a breaker.

Aye yeah fair play, sometimes though things are classified differently to you might expect. Not defending anyone just out of curiosity. Sorry rub salt in the wound, but dam that was an epic looking RX7... I might need a few minute alone now!

AH was it really martinmac! Nice car that autobox sounded fairly good actually! Sorry cant help with the smoke but looked a good day. Dam I want to take mine on track :( Loveing the flames at 3:25!!!!

I would say the bottom pully could be classed as 3 (so plus the other one thatrs 4 in total)? It looka to be capable of driving 3 belts although there are only 2 on there.

Ah a stunning collection. :) If your thinking of selling the 99 spec replica at any point then I'd be very interested! I think its about time we organised a mini meet or even a proper meet for for the NW again :)

Bugger! LOL I looked to see if there had been a post and was very suprised it hadnt been... oh well didnt look hard enough!

A great feature but I was most disapointed to see last weeks was... you guessed it a 300zx! http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=23616 :(

Fuel damper take of?

Balance bar nuts ;) Although you will need those!
