Removing the weight of an auto box would help a lot with that

You got em back I see .. good stuff.

Nice! Who was that in front of you in the black e34 ? was that your turbo mate ?

What engine/DME ?

You'll probably find the fuel line was replaced with none teflon coated lines. This is normally ok on the outside of the car, however if the line is close to some sort of inlet it can smell of fuel. I have the problem myself in the e30. But mines caused by a surge tank in the boot with fuel lines. If its this problem, the fuel isnt actually leaking so to speak, its just vapour permeating through the lines.

The system already exists and is being run in some speed camera vehicles at the moment. It can read other fonts. Currently the police are gathering statistics and a database only. No enforcement is taking place. They also driving the vehicles around industrial areas collecting parked car info. It wont be long before it becomes BAU with this.

happy birthday

Fun task of e39 into e46 loom/sensors.

I had no idea about what was under that cover! .. interesting design. Its nothing like the m62 runners

I run Ireland engineering ones. Sway bars wont fix bad springs (if you have them). If you haven't already, do them first then sway bars.

Have a look in here http://tis.spaghetticoder.org/e46/328i_(M5...ith_attachment/

Enjoy

why does Andy Sapp now look like a Wookie ?

Shouldnt be too hard. here you go http://tis.spaghetticoder.org/s/view.pl?1/01/35/54

The temp sensor is for post radiator cooling measurement. The DME detects if its not getting enough cooling and steps up the pusher fan speed. Assuming your not running a clutch fan. I would keep that sensors (before and after cooling) as they are used by the DME to determine stuff. More than just the obvious. The information calculated and averaged with oil temp to give an overall engine temp and this is compared against a lookup table in the DME and will effect performance. Where 255 is a decimal representation of the hex value FF stored in the map, which if you map it to standard BMW temp sensors is 0-150 degrees C (both for oil and water). If your switching to a manual system EG standard mercury switch with relay for fan speed then youll need to pipe in temp switch as well. This is what i'm doing. Doing this your DME will bitch about the not being able to control AC cooling but meh. Shouldnt throw up any lights on the dash.

Old dish washer

For some reason i thought you had 8.5s sqaure

225/35r17 falken fk452 / toyo or dunlops with slight shampher .. not a straight walled tire. gets rid of your issues in one fowl swoop.

hmmm I dont think it will kill it as such but will probably mean people will run camber plates and adjust them for shows when they have their wheels on. Run normal wheels when there car is being dailyed. Westy just needs to realise he now needs to go the the same tire wall profile as me weather he likes it or not.

Two options. Go the OEM route or replace it with a Dynavin. Our forum sponsor may be able to help you out. http://www.swautomotive.co.nz/

Cool, It just means that people cant use camber as a get out of jail free card anymore for wheel offsets. Its actually a good thing really, as glenn said earlier it will stop noobs lowering their cars without doing anything about corrective camber plates etc. What they should actually concerntrate on is spring rates vs shock stiffness .. EG too hard a spring for the shocks dampening capablity. Causing a car to bounce instead of operate as properly and dampen the impact.

thanks for posting that .. where did you get that from? I couldnt find anything about it on the LVVTA site.

you just need to have it programmed. Can do it if your auckland for box of beers if you like. PM me
