Re: wont start
What kind of BMW is it? Year and model? Cam synchronisation fault occurs when the timing is out? Carry out a compression check? Full throttle with the fuel pump fuse pulled out... Crank for 10secs...

Re:
Top man thank you, well I'll go for whatever setup that leaves me run with the M3evo rear brakes...

M3 trailing arms question?
Can E36 M3 trailing arms be used on an E30? If not then why? are e36 compact trailing arms a good substitute for upgrade on rear disc set up if I can't use the m3 ones? If I'm goin to swap over the suspension from the M3 then will I keep the stock shocks and springs or bilstein shocks and decent upr...

Re: Throttle sticking
disconnect the cable on the bar side, try it again and if the fault occurs you can rule out the cable, looks like the throttle bar is sticking, have a gawk inside the throttle boddies if you see any sign of a black stain (carbon) clean it off. if not make sure the manifold that its bolted to or onto...

Re: wheel size on E36 M3 hubs with brakes
yeah i'm goin to use 5 stud setup e36 compact trailing arms etc. What i was thinking of doin was offering up a 16'' wheel i have from an e46 i think, see if it'll rotate, it wont sit on the hub flange as the evo one is much larger. if i don't use these brakes i'll have to go find 285mm big brake kit...
