Does anyone have an alternator for an m52/54? I think the voltage regulator is bad on mine

It’s mostly in one piece. Needs wiring and exhaust and plumbing. Should be another three years

I have a chance to beat you :)

Shit, I'd be down to help with mechanicals in return for help with my bodywork/paint!

that, and, people itt have seen me leave behind turbo and swap cars with a n/a m42 still running motronic 1.3.

That engine is going to tear shit up once it's finally running in oliver's zooz...

M42 is legit. There’s too much focus on ho and acceleration which is funny in an e30 forum.

Does anyone have a black e36 with a K&N intake setup? I need a picture of the CAI including the heat shielding in order to get a CARB sticker from K&N for my s52 swapped e30.

Long story short, I have everything from the kit except the heatshielding and K&N will not send me a sticker unless I have that. I really dont want to buy a heatshield that I will end up not using, so I figured I'd ask around first. Car needs to be black as I have a black e36 (you need to send registration and pic of vin # to k&n as well as pic of system).

TIA

Ah ok, yeah just found out about them in Milpitas too.

Ok cool..I'll look up Ken!..thank you!

Those guys don't work on E30s. Like at all. They did my corner balance / alignment but they don't do anything outside of that. They say it's cus E30 owners are too cheap lol.

I would highly highly highly recommend Motorspeed West in Santa Clara. Ken is an E30 expert. Dude friggin tuned my 323i L-jet. lol. He also has a 323i with a stroker he built. Very awesome dude with a lot of practical knowledge. Rates are higher but hours are lower. Levels out to be pretty reasonable.

Also, how long are the M3 end links? I have a Garagistic set but they seem SUPER long.

My IE 25mm bar has three positions... maybe move it back?

Seems like a good deal right? Someone here should buy these: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/wto...899708803.html

[Streichholzschächtelchen]

The m3 links exacerbate the already overkill front bar, snag a 22mm, or even a vert bar as your m42 isn't as heavy up front. Also, Sina bruh I got you one of thise e30 beers, slide to my place
