Hey Warren, I’ve learnt a lot by doing my builds. Mostly, I’ve learnt not to trust people. Bullship artists and rip-off merchants talk the talk way way better than an honest professional mechanic or race engine builder. So; • Qualify that you are using the right guys. My $3,500 engine swap saw the o...

I'd be in if you're in. Trying to get something a little closer to you as you seem to always travel the farthest. We could always hit the mountains and then that back road from Oberon to Goulburn. That was an incredible run last time. The old Taralga Road run. Would be close for Trev as well and the...

so what is the best light upgrade for the 6'er? Seriously, my lights are 40 years old and suffer. Hardly light up anything.

looks lovely. What are the light upgrades?

Those are my favourite wheels for an e24.

You know that every time I say my car is ready, I end up engine out. But, September is a long way away, well at the least 8 weeks. And I have not caught up with the crew in a year or two. So how about the all German Day in Canberra, September this year. If my 633 is still in surgery I can bring the ...

chrome supplier? I'd love to do that repair/upgrade.

Love the fleet. Absolutely gorgeous. That red car, your uber lift?

woooooow, that S38B38 is pushing some numbers. What did it cost all up?

Love the cars. My 633CSi runs a NA S38B38 at 400hp, about 670RWHP less than yours!!! hehe

Complete set still available? Can I pick it up or are you out of Sydney?

That's absolutely lovely, but $40k????

It looks a little rough. Hard to tell in the light and with the quality of the photos. No engine bay shots. They may just want it gone. I think we are 10 years away from climbing like the e9's. I'm with Paul. Sight unseen the price is more than likely on the money.

My car is still going and I've been tinkering for the last 8 years. The last 3 have been very hard. I fought to get the car completed prior to my wife giving birth similar to your situation. My wife and I dropped my 3 year old off to his first day of kindy this morning. Post some picks. Let us take ...

Nice blog, very well done. I've book marked it. Plenty to read. Keep it fresh for us.

What exactly did you buy? Photos??

Guess that's a no. After parts or to look at a car???

I'm with Gaz, should not these catch cans pickup from the head and place captured oil down at sump level? These appear to be filters rather than catch cans. I'm amazed at all the water and suds you get in your catch/filter cans.

Excellent analogy, Ken. =D> But, unlike a boat, the day you sell your E24 is not the second happiest day. :wink: I've heard that sellers regret hits before the sale and that it really is a very sad day indeed. If you need parts, either Addam on the Gold Coast or my mate Dimitri who has 6 and is bre...

Griffo, he is not on Bigcoupe. He has a few to choose from. I got permission from him to send across his mobile so will message you now.

Based on an original as-tested price of $58,720 (per Car and Driver magazine in 1987), that amount would be equivalent to $125,524 in today's dollars, adjusted for CPI inflation. $95k, well it was as new as you can probably find, I swear it still smelled new...... wonder what the original purchase ...

White wheels on white, love it. Gorgeous looking car. Clean engine bay. More photos????

Ebay had two being parted but gone now. There is a guy most Sydney 6'ers know called Dimitri who has 6 or more 6'ers. He may be parting one or two out as he too had an ebay add not long ago.

Sounds great Gaz but just too hard with a 3 year old. Otherwise, I'd be in for the weekend.

A Group A m30B34 spinning to 8000rpm makes 330hp. Honestly, I think the guy is full of shite. Look at the dyno graph. It makes hp to what, at the most 4000rpm??? Maybe 3500rpm??? and then drops off. A car that falls short on hp up to the upper rev range has a small cam and does not breath well. This...

Did the car sell and did you buy the porsche?

Dave G is sending down the shims. Car booked into the dyno for Wednesday week. Then I'll book in the drive, assuming the engine remains together and in one piece. If we are still making hp above 7750rpm, we may ring it to 8000rpm.
