Welcome back, we now have more interesting bots.

Actually, that makes me wonder what would happen if we keep a bot like a pet. Engage with it, etc. Would it become fun?...

[McGyver]

funny that you ask about the tach, i just looked at this thread:
Any interest in e30 cluster gauges testing info (speedo/tach/fuel/temp) - R3VLimited Forums

buy a cheap signal generator...

No fuel smell on short drives around town when its cool out. I'm strongly thinking the evap system is not happy. i think it's time to buy a smoke tester, i've only been putting it off for years.

well shit. i wonder if the early m10 cars had the same g260 and g265 situation as the e28 and e24 cars?

from what i understand, early m30 cars had a g260/5. these failed early and were relaced...

[McGyver]

wrong season, ya gagootz?...

[McGyver]

Don't M10 cars come with a g240? I was under the impression that the g260 was only for the m20 and m30 variants. Also, the m20 has a different bolt pattern, so you can't swap an m20 g240 onto a m30, but...

I tossed a set of cheap chinese axels in my car because the whole unit was the same price as buying boots and grease for a rebuild. I ran them for ~8 years until the car was totaled.

If you...

the PN for the oil level sensor plug should be 1-962581-2. You'll also need the boot (880811-2), sockets (962842-1), and seals (828904-2). You can buy it from mouser or digikey. Also, you can ask for...

my guess would be spark, fuel, or engine management related.

double check plug wires, connections, order on the distributor. Verify correct FPR pressure is being used, correct sized injectors,...

I've had several grafs fail, i think hepu is better, but i still used graf last time because it's cheaper and i didn't expect to need more than a few months out of it.

fuck those, save this:

No clue. This would have been done in 2018, so 8 years ago. I probably used something from o'reily's. E30 lines are 8mm (0.315 in) ID, which is an odd size. Maybe I'll just swap out the lines, it's...

[McGyver]

I've had a raw fuel smell from my engine bay on/off for some time. Some days i don't smell anything, other days it's really strong. This happened before and after replacing the head in the car. Injector...

Make sure you re-do the valve lash once the hard is bolted on, the head is going to conform to the block and your gaps will be off. I would have left them loose and just done it on the engine.

Damn, that interior looks so good, like, too-nice-for-an-e30 good.

I guess nine stitch is still around? I wanted to get some pricing for my interior, but last i checked i couldn't find a...

PM'd you about the seats.

I'm in Philly, hit me up if you decide to come through. The Delaware Water Gap is a scenic spot, but I wouldn't go out of your way for it if you're able to hit other good spots.
