BMWolf 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2010 Am I seeing that right? Is that a solid stainless fuel line? Almost, the fuel line is made from 12mm 16 Gauge 316 seamless stainless steel tube with one High impact pressure joint just as it goes through the rear fire wall.It was not possible to make the entire length with all the bends in one piece and fit it in the car. However you could pound it with a 14 pound sledge hammer and not compromise the tube or the joint. W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi bro, as I remember I paid to ship the car for you so you could have the wheels, as for small dogs I'll put mine against yours any day. By the way you no longer belong on this forum as you now drive a mini. (but not a real one) W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keen 6 Report post Posted November 7, 2010 ^Enough talk the mini is at the moment faster so give us some more pics of the paint job on the car and an update on the press to start date. will the car have a key start or a BMW press button start, Knowing how fussy you are, cutting a hole for the press start button will lighten the car.

BmwolfJR 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2010 hello so as keen alluded the car just came back form paint and its white (should have been black but i lost that argument) but i have to say new paint look VERY NICE As for the key start it is a rocket launcher switch which means flip switch up, car on, push button, car start no key needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do these e21(?) headers flow well as standard? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes we could use some help. why don't you jump in your wife's car (a BMW) and come up for a week and give us a hand. you probably would not get here in your counterfeit mini. I will give your all the instruction you need when you get here. W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMWolf 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2010 I'm surprised you are running with these headers, even with the ceramic coating, rather than an extractor set-up. Do these e21(?) headers flow well as standard? I did a lot of research on the US forums where M20 engines are popular, and found that a well flowed and matched standard system was very hard to beat, in terms of performance. Mclaren and others spent a lot of dollars trying to up the performance of the M20 and only succeeded with small gains with there headers. A good web site is www.headersbyed.com We will probably build a stainless system at some time in the future but for now this will do. W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
