so yuh, oil low light came on on the way home from palmy, brushed it off coz had played up before, on the way to go out tonight it came on again, turned 5 off and checked oil, absolutley nothing on dipstick. f**k. Look underneath at sump, *drip, drip*, had massaged a hole on the bottom front corner of the sump. Pwnt stz. So this means 5 coming off road for a long time. Dang. Moral of the story = dont daily drive a car that has a sump 80mm off the ground. I was real careful, but still managed to make a hole. Time for a $500-700 cheap jdm boso project.

engine rebiuld - '83 323i coupe (brake too)
bmwsparkle replied to kiwipetrolhead's topic in Maintenance
oh i remember, had a race with ya didnt I? -
Id be the same. I dig m roadsters hard, prefer the m coupe though. E36 m3 verts are pretty cool, not a fan of e46 m3 verts though, just dont look right.
-
insane, maybe they were like "oh heres a riff, i just thought this up" after jamming out to petty and sh*t, haha.
-
already know about no difference between non abs/abs for the servo then why the hell are they two different part numbers and listed differently?
-
as ive gathered, in all M30 models, 525i, 528i, 535i. This little bastard (attached)
-
agreed, euro style rake ftw.
-
"It sounds like a really really really really big race pipe" haha what a tool.
-
By big I assume you mean around 20 hp - which i what I gained with properly made headers.Its hardly bang for your buck. Yup thats what I meant. Isnt that the same sort of hp that you got out of a link? Or did you get more.Are yours free flow or an equal length extractor andy?
-
More likely, as we could see from the pics of that manifold, they were a sh*t designed non equal length free flow, sh*t designed free flow or extractors will often give a power decrease, but believe me, the stock manifold is a peice of crap. Theres big gains to be had with a decent researched free flow or equal length extractor. Also, stock bmw mufflers from the 80s are shockingly restrictive, god knows how much I gained when I chucked my exhaust on, and its not even the best I could have went for!
-
tell him its like trying to get mega power out of a 1100 kent escort, he'll know what you mean then and tell you to chuck in the pinto equivalent
-
2 to possibly 2 and a quarter would be plenty on a m10. Much more and you'll probably loose power.
-
Mean. Rake looks good on euros. Could possibly be jamex springs, which do lower front more. Stop typing like an idiot as well. Type out in full otherwise some people will get annoyed, just some advice.

ABS/non ABS master cylinders, any difference?
bmwsparkle replied to bmwsparkle's topic in Maintenance
would pull the light out and get it certed for bein converted, as ill cert it for the brakes and suspension after this anyhow. first I had the abs computer f**k out, and now, all of a sudden, it dosent work at all. Havent checked anything, just got on the rag about it and drove on. -
ABS/non ABS master cylinders, any difference?
bmwsparkle replied to bmwsparkle's topic in Maintenance
735 fronts, bigger calipers and disks. Ill chew through pads way too quick with the current setup on track.Losing ABS for a couple of reasons; 1- its always f**king out, unfortunatly, ive already spent over 1g fixing it once 2- better pedal feel without ABS apparently, more solid pedal etc 3- the standard ABS sensors wont work with the 735 disks and calipers, different sensors etc is there anyway to use an ABS MC with non ABS brakes? If not, how do I get around this? have to use a older MC? -
is there any difference in ABS/non-ABS master cylinders? probably going to run a e32 735i master cylinder with my new brakes, and get rid of my ABS. So wondering if Ill have any problems with that side. would it actually bigger than my e28 one though? etc

trademe auction for knob
-
will put on tardme.
-
old c**t was only probably keen for it cause it was bigger CC, meh etc, did you tell him that the 1.8 had more power? keep on doing what you were man.
-
Meh, hes a stupid idiot anyhow, only hurt himself by being brainless.
