Hi guys. Will have for sale once i get photos but what would a good price for a full set of 17x8 schnitzer type 2 single piece wheels be? they are e39 offset and centerbore. No tyres. no curbing or damage. any idea of price would be appreciated. also open to interested parties making an offer

Plastidip about $28 from supercheap. Youtube it fairly easy

Eye lids*

Grills look good in matte black. Easiest to plastidip as you cN take it off again. I think the ete lids in that pic look good to. Removing the horrible orange around the light

I was told 11.2 when i did mine so sounds right

Except for alfa engines. They still look sexy

If its actually detonating i would be checking ignition first. Check timing. Then check colour of spark plugs tips immediatly after a hard run of a min or two. White means too lean. Damaged or worn plugs are often a sign of detonation having occured. I dint think the head could be planed enough to bump the compression up to that kind of level. Hard to do under no load but if access is available hold revs at 3k and see if any exhaust pipe heats up from cold more or less than others over 30 seconds. Need ir thermometer. From there fuel delivery. Could be faulty injector. Afm or o2 sensors. If a cylinder is running lean the computer bumps all injectors up until it stops so you can have a lean mix causing the overall engine to run rich. My m20b25 did that when the c101 plug corroded. Front three injectors ran at half voltage so the duty cycle was doubled by the ecu which left the rear three massivly over fuelling.

Rotors almost never warp. Usually the shudder is caused by pad material being left behind in one spot from hot pads stopping in one spot. I use cheap rotors from exedy on my track car at $30 a pop. Absolutly no issues and they literally glow. Just priced some 330ci rotors from them for my old man which were roughly 70 each. Go oem with pads but paying 10x more for their rotor is stupid.

Congrats. I did the same two years ago last week. Great feeling of security and independance

Most of these horror situations dont go away with car getting warm. Id guess electrical if it changes with temp. But all really a stab in the dark.

They also go through knock sensors which can come and go with temp

The bulbs werent in backwards?

Chuck the old filter in the bin. Still less oil in the ground than what drips of a mitsi sump in a week

Consider it patented.

I dont know of any carbs you can tune with the click of a mouse

I joined an alfa forum once. Got two generic answers. Ring the dealer amd buy a factory part. Or get a bank loan then ring the dealer for the factory part. I got banned for showing how i glued a light lens back on. I find it funny how some of the "key knowledge base guys" as good as they are get pissy when people dont take their advice to the letter. When much of their experiance was gained by going against advice and trying new things to find better solutions. Im sure many of those guys were taught by guys who scoffed at efi now they are tuning shift points on smg modules. Mistakes breed ingenuity so dont knock it. That being said the lowest point i think is members new or old who steal from other members. Hellafunktional and that cut springs douchebag pop to mind.

One belt coming off cam take the other with it quite easily. Can come.off due to breaking. Lack of tension or a pulley not being inline. Check all pullys including the main one are solid with no slop

You sound rather jaded

Agree. Im under 25 and state has treated me well.

Regardless of whether singapore imports are worse or not they do hold a stigma with a great deal of people and that will affect the resale price. So naturally that should effect what you want to pay for it.

The body parts market only wants right legs so smg wont help much there.

I used that same tool for the ccv valve on the back of the m62 manifold. Very handy

Public test day on the 7th. Thats all ive heard of.

If yours is an e36 donk it should have a metal cap with a bolt through and use a R2582p If its an e39 it should have a plastic cap and use a R2592P

Or keen to sell asap make an offer. How much you after? No idea make an offer. * proceeds to reject every offer less than twice the items value
