Coolant hoses.

What is the difference from the OEM ones? Except that these are MUCH MUCH BEAUTIFUL!!!!

?? (And also, what is the cost? As I 'd like to order too-if there are available for my poor 316)

Apart from the obvious colour choices they are extremely strong and can cope with extreme temperatures. Burst pipes are a thing of the past!

I'm guessing that 2002 hoses are pretty much the same as 316? If not, you can order individual items. Part number TCS 110/C

At £89.40 they're not cheap but they do last a heck of a long time and a full set of OE hoses would probably cost as much, if not more.

Trying to arrange coverage of Bimmerflex if you can make it mate?

I think it was about 3.40 when I left as guy with Alpina was giving me a lift home. I would have stayed to spectate otherwise - there were some lovely cars in the pit lane.

Definately. Glad my cars in safe hands.

Well am just back from Cornwall and Dave @ RPM has made progress on my car.

First job has been the fitting of a stainless 6 branch manifold. It was an e30 item that I bought cheaply and Dave has modified it to fit an e21. I will post some pictures once I get it home and will see if Dave might be up for altering any more. I know Hottuning will supply new manifolds for around £230 delivered so I guess it depends on cost of modification to see if it's a viable alternative to a bespoke item.

Brakes, quick rack, top mounts and poly bushes to go.

If dave can modifiy one of them then take it off the car and keep it as a say template and use that as a guidance to get more made up rather putting it on a car and modifying it!!

Mark also those smco hoses, the kit you have is it for the entire engine bay piping?

I think now he's done one and knows what's involved it should be pretty straightforward. Otherwise it means spending £220 to get me a new one and modding that. There seems to be a few differences between makes of manifold too.

Samco just sent the complete pre-facelift kit iirc.
