Only thing that's surprising about this sorry turd is it didn't come from Birmingham!! I only drove it a hundred yards or so, never experienced handling like it.

Re: 325 sport crap from cold start

325 sport crap from cold start
my 89 sport is pretty crap from first start up. it is very crap in the lower revs and splutters a lot but runs fine once warmed up. any ideas if the cold start relay (if i have one) would be the cause of this or is it likely to be the coolant temp sensor? any ideas and help is appreciated

Best conversion on a budget?
what is the best and easiest conversion from a 325 to get somewhere in the region of 230-250bhp? which are the easiest to fit in and cheapest overall conversions? thinking 3.5 m30 or a 2.8 m52. any other suggestions?
