Anyone have a clue

4x100 15inch et13

Just had a little brainwave, the brake booster pipe thing didnt look none to healthy and didnt check this

I hope its not an air leak, we have hunted and hunted for an air leak, had all the vaccume and inlet pipes off, easy start round any joints on the inlet etc. Its just either the tps or one of the parts we swapped by sheer pain in the arse being as buggerd as the original. even compression tested it ...

aye icv swapped no difference and the one on was cleaned by me when i had it, going to try the tps tonight.

Sorry forgot about that, did the ecu reset, thought about injectors too but had a second set that make it run exactly the same? Also changed the blue fuel temp sensor as had a brand new one in the garage As far as im aware nothing has been fiddled with as its my old engine and i bought the car off o...

This is for a friend, he has an 1989 m20b20 engine and its idle is a bit lumpy (v8 like) and almost cuts out when you try to rev just for a second then revs up ok. if you hold the throttle about 1mm open it tries to cut out? No air leaks idle control valve fine Im betting its the tps so going to che...

ps will be putting the good bits for sale on here when i have time like the headlights, uncracked dash, springs, battery to boot convertion, lsd, etc etc. I also have a load of bits i never put on because i knew it would not last much longer.

Its a 320i moredoor i think im just going to frag it or sell it whole as i really have no time for it

Trouble is i havent got the time to do it, everything apart from the rear subframe bushes i could scrape to do. Also what can i do about the rear springs? dont all lowering springs rattle around a bit when jacked up? It may not be worth saving as it need rear arches doing and is a basic model. I may...

The moredoor failed its mot miserably today, rear subframe bushes have excesive play trackrod ends excesive play (i couldent feel it) nearside and offside rear springs not seated correctly when jacked up both rear topmounts few other bits like a little welding Its the rear subframe bushes that im no...

how did you strip the paint? standard nitromoors/ stripper, ive got a set of bbs in black with flaking paint need to sort them out and strip it down to silver I didnt :mad: I just really fine sanded the outside rim and polished the poo out of it and sanded the inside of the wheel even then etch pri...

I wouldn't have the patience to do it, pay someone else to do it instead :) It's when you attempt this sort of thing and even just sand down half a wheel or polish a rim, never mind finishing a whole wheel and end up with an "ok" finish , that paying someone 50 or 60 per wheel for a proper finish, ...

i didnt have the patience , i have three more to do

On another note does anyone know anything about these wheels?
Only info i got is they are msw and were on the rare mazda mx5 le200.

But they were a bugger to clean

I may take the front of the spokes off but not for a while, i have extreame adha and preping/painting wheels is not my thing

I didnt get that good a finish

it took me an age to polish the fake center nut aswell, and i need to find the original center badges and they are hard to find.

Cheers dude

Nobby, you would want all the black paint off considering your avatar pic

After and before.

Ive founf a pre-facelift front splitter that i like but will it go on a facelift? Im not a stranger of some fettling to get to fit but does anyone know if this is just no viable?

Im not allowed to "collect" anymore, my worst was, Mg Maestro turbo sierra xr4x4 orion rs turbo 735i granada ghia and a mini 850 they were all at my mums about 7 years ago and she kept telling me i need to move them to which i ignored for a year then they were gone as my mum had them collected on th...

Mines called bella, but my last was Eva and i was accused of being not politically correct

Good lads at the Italian garage, they let me used it after i had cleaned it and refilled it with fluid, took me 25 mins to do the ball joint and lolly pop bush, however when i got home the lolly pop had worked its way off 2 mm so got inventive with a jack and a landrover :mad: Thats everything done ...

Smellit - it looks like scrap in the pic - and pics usually make a car look better than it really is..! Agreed, but this was when we first got it back and it had been sat for a while in a garage and is the only shot i have at the mo. It needs alot of thing like front lip bumpers sorting out interio...

Why bother trying to make it mint? it's a pretty sad looking 316i, it's never going to be worth a fortune. Its not about the money :D its about getting the car back to what it should be and someone can enjoy it and polish it. He wants to learn to drive rwd and if he does it in this with a 2.5 in th...

My friend has aquired this http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/5821/mikee30.jpg Its a 316 auto with 56k on the clock, we have done the head gasket as it was blown but now he wants to stick a 2.5 in it and manual it. I am trying to convince him to either sell it because the shell is to good to be minc...

so, what sort or press will suit most diy needs? spurred on by this thread i've had a nose around and it looks like you can get a 20ton press for pretty reasonable money, is that likely to be enough for most bushes and bearings? or a waste of money? Yes i would have thought so thats the most ive us...

i wont buy new wishbones and shouldent have too :( I just think by the time you've bought new ball joints, took the time and paid someone to press them in and out, you may as well buy new arms that come with new inner and outer ball joints. 2x Inner ball Joints - £30 2x outer ball joints - £23.28 T...
