hello all,
can anyone tell me the diameter of the bbtb for the 318is? also does it replace the both throttle bodies with one new one or does it just repace the larger bottom port?
cheers

coding plug? it's all greek to me. the gearbox went in last week along with a fast road clutch and a home made quick shift and is a right pleasure i'm thinking about making a few shifters up to see if anyone is interested feels much nicer. might make a lightened flywheel, and stick a chip on there too. may even stick an M44 bottom end on an all which would take it to 1.9 + 10bhp or so.
all takes time eh/ or perhaps i should just leave it and chuck an m3 lump into it in a year or twos time?
