  1. Your never going to get the total amount of money back you spend on your car. About 30% of the cash you spend will be added valve to your car. We do it for the fun, and the enjoyment of fixing/driving cars
  2. Does it need to be replaced? No its pretty easy, unhook and unbolt from behind the glovebox and remove the master cylnder from the engine bay side. About 6 nuts and 1 clip from memory
  3. I have one in chch, PM if interested

  5. Hello, I need a new latch for a e30 glovebox. The entire handle and locking unit Thanks
  6. Hello, Keen on a new accel pedal for my e30, as the current one has snapped off the floor. So is annoying as hell to use. Also would be possibly be keen for a _flash_ pedal set if the price is right. Cheers, Rhys

    Injector Q

    BMW Bosch W0133-1607446 Fuel Injector Does anyone know what the CC and flowrate of these injectors? Also can anyone point me in the direction of some injectors that would be an upgrade? Thanks, Rhys
  8. I have plummed up the intake. Its just a silicon 90" bend to a alloy pipe I got made up with a connector for the ICV to a K&N pod. Currently doesnt have any heat shielding but will do for now. Tuning this weekend! The megasquirt generates the spark table based on power and torque figures you put into it. So currently im running a spark table for a stock M50B25 engine (141 kW (192 hp) @ 6000 245 N·m (181 ft·lbf) @ 4700) Im going to play with this table once im sorted the req_fuel and VE tables to a level im happy with. I should be able to hopefully feel it bog abit where the advance is not set correctly. If / when I feel this im going to backup the config then try something like 210hp @ 6000 and see if its any better
  9. Are the factory LSD's torsen or clutch type?
  10. Yea your right, it doesn't deal with spark at all. I guess I will start with a stock map as you were saying and tune from there. Reading the megamanual it says: To tune the spark table, you will need drive the car and listen for detonation. If you hear any (or better yet, if a datalog shows any feedback from the knock sensor) reduce the advance at the spark advance table point where the detonation occurred. Start at low engine speeds and low engine loads, and work towards higher speeds/loads progressively. Always keep the spark table smooth by adjusting the neighboring 'cells', or driveability may suffer.
  11. LSDthen turbo Not interested in making it look nice. Looks good enough stock. Probably will get stiffer springs but ill see and maybe a touch lower, but it needs to be able to hit the gravel
  12. Yea i got the 6 puck ceramic one as well, havent actually used the clutch as of yet. I just got it idling on sunday (using some dodgy analog ICV control techniques (duct tape). Im just waiting for the idle control vavle and intake piping. Before I even try to tune it properly. Currently its using mostly default MS settings with a generated VE table. I forgot to mention in the first post that I also need to install a wideband o2 sensor, so I can auto_tune to an AFR table, which kinda negates the need to get it dyno tuned. I may after its all done, hire a dyno for an hour or so to try and tweak the last out of it.
  13. Hello, I just got the engine going on sunday night for the first time. Intake and ICV still need to be installed, but other then that she is complete. Didnt move much above idle as it is still fairly untuned, but from what I did hear/see its running nice and smooth. All the sensors are calibrated on the megasquirt and all seems well. Now I just have to get some more cash togeather to finish it off. BRING ON PAYDAY!

    WTB : E30 bits

    This is the heater pipe/valve that I broke. It has another bracket at the other end, where it connects to the top/return pipe that protrudes into the engine bay.

    TiVo with Telecom

    It will affect the amount of backbone traffic, your mobile broadband is only "mobile" untill its hits the first exchange. As for Tivo: There are plenty of cheaper/better options out there, without buying into the tivo/telecom scamfest. MythTV is a great OSS VPR application that requires no license or ongoing costs. It is constantly updated with new features as they become available. The major benefit with this app is that once the TV data is captured you can do whatever you want with it. Host it on the internet, share it will your friends or chop and edit it into new videos. With MySky and Tivo you can't download your data (which you have paid for) onto your personal computer. Its an absolute scam. With the aim of maintaining Intellectual property rights, which is a whole other bunch of shiiit But on the flipside: Its easy, you just pay money and some nonce can install it for you
  16. Just take a drink from the furry cup, it takes no planning and is an easy win
