    Engine dying, building a new engine asap, need parts

    Hey everyone. I'm making my way back to MD/DC after being in NH for the past couple months. My timing belt tensioner took a crap and I'm getting it replaced at the dealership today but I'm expecting to find some valve and piston damage when I get back on Thursday. In light of the situation Yun and I are pulling together our parts and building me a 2.7i setup but I don't have everything I need, I'm looking for an m42 radiator and a Manual Conversion, so Getrag260, clutch, flywheel, pedals, master and slave cylinders, etc. etc.

    I'm working on getting on my finances together and moving into a new house the day I get back so I'm really hoping that everyone can help me out and if you have a spare setup that would be a huge help. Let me know how much you want for it. Everything is greatly appreciated.

    I'll see y'all this Friday at Starbucks and at the Meet on the 29th!

    I can give you my old clutch and associated parts, excluding the flywheel. (I do however strongly recommend purchasing a brand new clutch.)

          Well after last night's disaster with having the front spoiler get ripped off the car, the flat tire, and now my alignment is in the worst shape I've ever seen....so basically I'm gonna retire her soon. it's gonna be sad to see her go but I hope to start building a new e30 project over the year or so.

                          I've been around, but not even lurking much - lots going on. Mostly on M42Club.com, when I'm not on Facebook playing Mafia Wars.

                          Still have all the cars, added a 1-ton Ram Cummins Turbo Diesel P/U last year to go with the camper. Holy crap that thing has some torque! :D

                            That would be fantastic if you have a spare m42 radiator! How much do you want for it?
