dave 2 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 got my car back this arvo.... took it for a drive and have a bigger grin on my face than i did in the e21.... i did the timing advance like andy and i finally kno how it feels driving a bmw, lol! also my clutch slave cylinder was rooted, so new one of those... valve clearances, tappets, shift bushes (oh the crispness is good) and a couple of other little things.... all i need now are the seats and suspension and i can begin on the exterior mods and get rid of the sad state my cars in now.... *cough paint cough* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Report post Posted March 3, 2004 so how do i do it? you essentially need to know where to move the dizzy - I'd let Ernst do it, he plays with the AFM and you need to run more fuel also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
