Good job

Thanks for the compliment Cloggy Saint

Hi Mart
Unfortunately I don't have more pics of me DIY the targa top, but have a video clip in which my wife is talking/explaining in the background of what we are about to do. By the way the language in which she speaks is Afrikaans (spoken in South Africa) a kind of dialect linked to Dutch
Cheers

Hi Mart
In this post I have decided to send pics of my finished targa top (fibreglassed for reinforcement and covered with canvas material

Hi Mark
I n this post I am sending my finished targa top (fibreglassed and covered with canvas

Anyway today was my birthday and decided to take out my unfinished project that I have been working on for quite some time now. I think Brian Moore might remember when I first joined the group and had a problem with my car not reving up. Anyway I included some pics to show progress thus far

Hi Mart On the pics that I have posted, I had already started working on the targa top The following are the steps and things that I did to refurbish my Baur targa top 1. I added fibreglass sheets on to the top 2. Sanded it down for smooth texture 3. Applied adhesive contact glue 4. Laid the canvas ...

Hi Mart Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I did not take pics of the targa roof piece before I started working on it, but I will rather send pics of what I decided to do of which I stripped off the canves material and from the looks of things the targa top is made from fibreglass strends and so...

Hi guys I have TC2 Baur that have been working on for a while now. I am almost done with it but find myself stuck with the targa piece of the roof that seems too soft and saggy. Is there a way that I could DIY to refurbish or repair this part of the roof? I don't want to spend lots of money on this ...

I really appreciate the few responses that I got from the forum as they saved me money and time trying to eliminate faults and what Brian said got me thinking that sometimes the choice of words we use to express ourselves may be dubious. Thanks a lot

Hi The fault was the starter wire (black/yellow) . The original wire seemed to have build up some carbon and did not turn the starter, so I laid a new wire from the ignition monkey puzzle to the starter liviving out the original wire. This turned the starter, but caused the fuel pump to run non sto...

What I meant to say was that the fuel pump gets triggered once (brief moment) by the relay then only runs constantly when the engines is cranked or runs.

So what was the fault? Hi The fault was the starter wire (black/yellow) .

Hi guys It's been a couple of days since I last posted anything, but it is with great excitement that I am posting today. After trying 2 ECU's today (from a 323i and 528i) and two sealed air flow meters (from 320i and 325i). I still could not resolve the issue and last night I was thinking to myself...

Thank you. I will search around for a complete moronic system and components

The ECU part number is 0280 001 309 fitted on a 320i manufactured between '84 to' 87 and the motor 2.5 sub assembly with 2.7 cylinder head. I am not sure if this is what you wanted me to confirm

Hi Brian just for interest sake, Could it be that corroded spark plug leads do not give enough spark on high Revs to burn the fuel supplied at high RPM causing the engine to sputter or suffocate due to rich mixture(too much fuel supply)? The smell of the rich (improperly burnt) fuel makes ask this q...

Hi carlitto. Reading through the idle issues I had with an L Jetronic in a 323i , I was lucky to have a second working system to compare. The problem in the end was caused by corrosion inside the water heated idle valve. HI Mark Are you referring to the airslide valve situated somewhere under the i...

If I understand this correctly, we have a 2.5 engine trying to run on 2.0 litre electronics, which is never going to be successful without a complete reprogram of the ECU. The mixture is adequate for the car to idle, but the fuel rate isn't being increased fast enough when the throttle opens. HI Br...

I would really appreciate that and thanks in advance

What I also forgot to mention is the fact that it is a L Jetronic so I can't do fault code reading

Hi Mark
I only have 1 pickup sensor situated at front( harmony wheel) and from what I found out is that it is used for testing of some sort and can comfirm that with my previous e30 it didn't matter where it was placed the moteo operated as normal

In addition when I move the airflow sweeper arm by hand to Rev up the motor it sputters at high Revs and a gradual opening of the throttle picks up the revs but a sudden throttle would cause the motor to stall and want die.

Hi guys I am new here and would firstly want to apologize for starting a topic that someone might have sent previously, but after a very long search I could not link any topic to my actual problem. Anyway I have an e 30 323i body that I have fitted a 325i motor in running on a 320i Baur harness and ...
