i got flashed on the way to hamilton going about 120 a month and a bit ago, still waiting for ticket

oh, well my 318i is all setup to run in the series except for the engine , if i drop the 2L in i would be looking to sell right away so i could afford a 325i . does the m20 just go right in, as i would be looking to swap it these christmas holidays then sell the whole car the s50 projects stalled as the s50 itself kinda ruined the whole budget wont have any money for that till start of next year

haha they chrome the whole thing, thats how and what a retard, cant even get the engine size right

haha classic

hey just to clarify, i was told by the organizers that my M10 318i isn't eligible, even if i put a m20 in it, due to it being a lighter car or sumthing along those lines, cause i've got a m20 sitting here and it just dosent seem right as how would weight matter , as there is a minimum wight anyway.

bit long for my liking but pretty funny

K so i took the whole unit out to see what it was, turns out it was the "codier stecker" lols i think it means code plug or sum sh*t in english. go pics to show not whats the point in it?

Petrol?

where can i purchase one of these kits for a e30

haha i rev the sh*t outta it and theres no light its just a little hole with the number 06 in it, i'm prolly gunna take it apart this weekend and replace the SI board battery, to me it looks like there is a dial behind it and the number can be changed it is weird how i haven't seen any other rev counters like it in an e30, maybe it got replaced and its a rev counter from another car? as the only other rev counters in e30's i see have fuel millage at the bottom.

ahah this topic has changed from engine conversion to life advice you should buy a S50 honestly, i'm putting one in my dads car e30 there not that expensive i swear

omg you mean its not a hot rod

niceeeeeeeee, i want it

i couldent get a picture 2night as the flash on the cam ruins the whole pic straight on, all thats in there is the number 06 about 2-3mm deep and its really small, isn't that much to see but ill take a pic 2moro in the light

so i got a 1985 318i, thats the one with the m10 engine there is a little circle below the 7 of the rev counter with a recess with the number 06 in it, now i havent seen this on any other bmw's befor and i cant seem to find any info on it. hopefully you can see what i mean in the pic thanks in advance for any help

umm no but would that explain why the service lights don't work either? and like the problem is funny cause when its working properly (very rare) if you turn the car off and on agian it stops working

my fuel gauge is so much better than your guys, it works sometimes like 1/10 trips and when it does work, i managed to travel 300km and only used 5L WOW but seriously i can do about 350-450km on a tank with the old m10 318i depends if its racing/highway/town

cheers, the paint is still pretty decent for 300,000k only mods or changes are wheels, pod filter, rollcage and bucket seats edit/ and koni shocks and springs all around and new exhaust with coby mufflers

got home from spending the weekend in hamilton and thought it was a nice night so took sum pics of the car itsa 318i m10 1985

nothing wrong with a bit more cushion for harder pushin

wow

ahhh after looking in the haynes manual it would seem the "throttle position sensor" was not on and they say without it you get unstable idol ect ect

nah its not the airflow meter unit is the next part along the pipe like just befor it goes of the pipe into the intake manifold, but the cable is wired in the same cable on the afm zzz i suck at terminology

turns out there was a electric cable loose, not of the air filter part but the next part along :lol:lols im bad at explaining when i connected that back up that dropped the idle down to 1000 then a lil adjustment on the idol screw saw it go down to a nice 800-900 thanks for the help

hey thanks for the info ill go over all the tips 2night
