Cars fixed Finally a grin when i drive

Recommended Posts

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*

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.

Mustve left my phone in the car... hmmm that explains the peace and quiet this evening *makes a note to leave phone in car more often* lol

Sure tho I may have to work at short notice, but at this stage a cruis out to friendly Fielding will be nice. Anyone in Palmy over the weekend? Wanna come along?
