Re: Extended brake lines

Ring 0800 Brakes.
They are the only people in NZ (I Think) that swage there brake lines. The rest use screw together fittings.

You can also send them your bake hoses, they will make the longer ones how ever long you want, then send them back.

Re: new to this game

The BMW shocks fit strait in, no modifying of any type, they just bolt in. You have to get e30 bmw shocks, they can be from a 318, 320, or 325 as long as there from an e30 model. Make sure you get the nuts from the top pin of the shocks as they are a differnt size to zook ones and quite hard to get,...

Re: Smokey Escudo V6

Thanks Churchill,
I was hoping it would be something like that, thats the same bank as the oil filler cap, do you think its worth running some engine flush through and blasting it with compressed air to see it thats the prob or is it pretty common and just needs to be done?
