Although if you're fitting a 'braided cutch hose' make sure you remove the clutch delay valve (CDV) 1st, makes a huge difference to the feel of the car!
Also, FYI, the cheapo eBay coilovers (Raceland) i think, are well thought of in the e36 world. If you haven't...
Lol, cheeky sod!!! True though ... ;)
Dave. <3 you. Guess uve been drinking like i have lol. My Trophy is a shed. Although, perhaps thats half the appeal ...
Buy daves, far better car for the money than the other one imho.

Cambelt, etc needs correct locking tools to change.
Other than that, theyre...
Made a fair bit of difference with my old saxo. Only had Saxposrt exhaust, raceland manifold & raceland induction kit, but would just about keep up with Ollie's cup to 90mph, certainly wasnt embarassed :)
Pulled quite a bit out as you can see ...
If its only a 2nd car, experiment...
Torque is for pulling caravans ;)
