    wtd: cheap daily

    Just listed my Twin-Turbo Subaru on Trademe the other day, its good fun for a daily . Subaru Legacy RS
  2. Its manual and it needs a little work, but maybe a bargain for someone? Looks like it has potential... thoughts? E30 325i on TM

    E30 320i Racecar

    Yep, thats the plan. Although the exhaust manifold really does need changing...

    E30 320i Racecar

    Got no idea where though!! Seems to settle to an idle now most the time though, sometimes hunts like 2 or 3 times, then settles but generally settles... And it idles at 1000rpm which im sure is probably too high, but not gonna mess with it now haha
  5. What he said!!!! Dissapointed about the lack of rotary-esque pulsing though
  6. Haha and i can help Monday, but working Tuesday night... and not entirely sure i'd be much help, we just brutalised mine till it came out when i built the cage...
  7. Mine did this when the rocker-cover breather wasnt attached, are all the hoses secure? In good condition?
  8. Give us a yell if you need help/motivation. Can even take you for a spin so you start missing the awesomeness of an E30 again
  9. And the pics are where exactly???

    Quick Questions

    Yup, thats exactly it!! Haha im not having much luck with all the little issues like that at the moment Almost got the hunting to stop... i think... As for the exhaust leak... still there, the manifold has one hex-nut in it grrrr (i dont have hex sockets, or hex-keys big enough haha). But its better now, tightened up the bolts and it seems to only leak around 6 and not 1 anymore

    E30 320i Racecar

    Hmm and it gets weird... So it seems i did the entire last round of the Intermarque sprints with no vacuum advance, which i thought could possibly be the cause of my hunting issues (asked a bout in quick questions). But it still hunts. Replaced all the ICV hoses with my old ones, attached the vacuum advance on the distributor, and it runs considerably better now under acceleration but sometimes at idle it will still hunt. Its only sometimes, which i find quite peculiar, i have just tightened all the hose clamps on the vacuum lines, so heres hoping it goes away....
  12. Good luck!! You of all people seem to need some Next: Lets get Anthonys car going...
  13. Now they just need to get into the V8 supercars

    Quick Questions

    Definitely the water (wax-valve?) type. Its a very early motor, complete with square fuse-box plug . Might have to have a look at that if the manifold swap doesnt help me...

    Quick Questions

    Ok so a few people have mentioned maybe the ICV. My haynes manual only shows the location for the one on an M40 So where would i find it on a PFL L-Jetronic M20B20?

    Quick Questions

    Oli and I have tried looking for leaks everywhere, even gave it a good spray with CRC (the only aerosol i had available) to try and make a leak show, but nothing... Its mostly just started since i fixed a massive vacuum leak (rocker cover breather had come off). I definitely do have a massive exhaust leak out the manifold though, so hopefully that is causing it and it'll all go away before monday....
  17. Quick tip, unbolting the slave cylinder means you dont need to bleed it later... However mine got destroyed in the process, so if you do this be very careful around the clutch pedal!!

    Quick Questions

    Ok my turn then. Is it possible to fix a faulty washer splitter thing (in the hose, splits left from right) Left washer works, right side of the splitter squirts out a hole onto my engine! Also, would a leaking exhaust manifold be likely to cause the engine to hunt at idle when its warm? Between 950ish and 1300-1500ish revs, so pretty bad! Cheers Paul
  19. I can help you here, i did this about a month ago. First tip for ya, Dont even bother trying to remove the gearbox from the engine in the car Ask more specific questions though, and go and buy yourself a Haynes manual... edit: Nathan beat me to it!
  20. this is oli here.. allans car did this before we got rid of the m20, he used to get stuck in all sorts of places.... never figured it out though, but make sure that you injector relay is not sticking sometimes, and just check earths and the common things like that.
  21. Its been 10 days..... running yet?
  22. Never seen one before. But all i can say is... awesome kit. Mint looking car.
  23. Pics or Ban. Then we'll decide.
  24. This entirely depends on the quality of the car in the first place. For example my subaru, after 230,000kms has got no rattles inside whatsover, however mums corolla, purchased at 50,000kms already had rattles everywhere. But thats why toyotas are so cheap
