  1. One hole on the flywheel is slightly bigger to fit a dowel pin before the bolt so shouldn't be possible to install it incorrectly. I'd be interested if you can post a video of what it runs like. Very cool the car has headers - not many options for right hand drive stuff.
  2. Timing should be able to be checked mechanically with the reference marks on the harmonic balancer to block and the timing marks on the cam gear to head. Hard to imagine any way the distributor would be off unless the timing signal is wrong - possible I suppose that its related the flywheel if it has been swapped to something aftermarket. 99% sure we've got a Motronic 1.1 M20B25 flywheel down here in Hinds if you do end up needing one. Keep us updated on what you find
  3. Totally agree with general check for air leaks, and service items. That said; what is the throttle response like, especially off/near idle? Some of the AFMs seem quite out of wack and can run very rich and sluggish. If its already opened up - a paint pen reference mark and trying a couple of clicks leaner can help. I had a AEM standalone wideband O2 sensor in a Jetronic injection 320i and with some tinkering it was leagues better. the "remanufactured" AFMs that are available online can be better but I've still yet to see one that runs perfectly out of the box. At least they aren't super expensive IIRC
  4. Very cool! I definitely don't neeeeed this but boy would it be a nice upgrade. GLWS!
  5. Hi, If you haven't sorted this yet, I'll almost certainly have what you need here in Canterbury. Just let me know. Cheers, Ernie 03 303 7098.
  6. I'd be interested in a slim variant also, if still available. Cheers!
  7. Selling my sisters 325i on her behalf, been a daily driver for the past 8 years. Solid E30 kept pretty close to all factory with good options list, and extensive service history.

    Very nice! GLWS - I would be tempted but I've already got a couple e28s as it is. Sorry to hear of your circumstances!
  9. Yes. Its a very good reference and the M20B25 will be almost identical in any maintenance as the M20B20.
  10. Hahah damn. Looks like I'm a bit late to the party, I'll take them if the other two fall through!

    ^ this. Those headers look pretty nice. Do they fit RHD E24 or E28?
  12. I'd be potentially keen on the headers if the motor goes separately. Price?
  13. Absolutely stunning - GLWS. Sadly my garage is already full and wallet empty....
  14. Looks great, GLWS! I spent a bunch of time in a 525e auto also, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it - a very usable torque band for sure.
