It is being mis-advertised as "Registered as a BMW 325i" - it clearly isn't an E36 BMW 325i, and can not "be registered" as such.

It is NOT registered as the Marlin Sportster that it is trying to...

I would wholeheartedly agree: but go one step further and remove the front anti toll bar too!! Though I accept it introduces the issue of hard mounts and chassis strength when using the substitute...

Many years ago my father decided to repair a leaking petrol tank.
As soon as he got near it with a naked flame it exploded, turning it from a flat oblong into a round ball with lots of holes where...

I prepared a Corsa EPAS /Sierra hybrid to fit into my Cabrio post completion ( but haven’t found the time yet!).
My aim was to make it as a direct replacement for my standard Sierra column to...

Is it just me having a “Man look”, or has my Cabrio build diary dropped off the Forum?

I believe Lee Hunter fitted the Corsa EPAS into 3 Cabrios with great success - Alan’s recollection of it being over sensitive is I believe not related to the Corsa system but the hydraulic PAS fitted...

I’ve just read your query under Roadsters.
Do you have a Sportster and a Roadster? They are very different cars .

Honest answer is I do not know for sure. But I do know the original Sportster was based on the Cabrio from when it was Ford based: it then moved over to BMW E30 based, when I believe the chassis was...

Are you planning to use cycle wings at the front?, or to make it as a Cabrio? The rear wings are different between a Sportster and Cabrio, but could probably be converted more easily than...

Did you have a return spring on the brake pedal?

Sticking brakes has been a common problem experienced by adopters of this dual servo: the return spring on the pedal is essential.

Hi Monomer

It is pleasing to see Hunter V8 owners are still adopting this huge brake improvement- it transforms the car from a “squeaky bum ride” into a sporty car you can push on with confidence....

I made my own exhaust for my Cabrio and am probably on Mk1V version before I was happy with a quiet motorway cruise, but enough bark when I press the loud pedal.

From my experience the closer you...

It’s a bit naughty calling it a V8 Cabrio when it doesn’t have an engine let alone a V8!

Is it a LWB?

Hi Robin

Regarding the rear leaf spring mod I remember talking to an owner many many years ago who did this - Nigel ? - to a fabulous white hybrid.
He said he made a mistake ordering shorter...

Hi Andrew

The Ford based Sportster was derived from the Ford based Cabrio, so one part of your information could come from the Cabrio build manual.
I have a complete printed copy in ring binder...

I have sent you a PM

Hi Kieran

Im sorry for the late response - I don’t get on the forum much these days.

If you are still interested I have a few laser cut triangle end plates and tabs, plus some polished tube to...

Similar for me - I saw Mick's Roadster at several shows and loved it - I even had a photo of it which I got a magnifying glass out try to see what your make your wheels were (Carmonia - made by the...

Your MOT test will be based on the age of the engine.
You could be asked to prove it....... If so, it’s worth getting a letter from BMW UK confirming the year of manufacture for your engine serial...

I ground the VIN plate welds off and rewelded the plate on the opposite side

Hi Steve

As has been said above, I tried a 3.14 diff (after a 3.38 diff) and found it too tall for cruising on a motorway inclines - I felt it necessary to change down a gear. I find the 3.38 is a...

Unmistakably!

I want to change the email address held by the MOC Forum, but find it is greyed out in the Edit section.

So, how can I change my email address?
