    0-60 in 12 seconds?

    Hi there, A little while I posted a thread about my car, a 1987 325i slushbox. It was being super sluggish and was really disappointing. I did 0-60 in about 12 seconds... ya right
    Most people thought it was a restricted cat, so i got a custom exhaust put together.... and its no better.

    So Rev, why is my car so slow?
    -Dont just say its because its auto... I know they're faster than that.

    Few things i've noticed
    -Slight rough idle
    -Dirty injectors (cleaned them)
    -Smells like its running rich (dont know how to go about fixing this)
    -Trouble starting when it sits for an hour, always starts but it has to turn over for a while first. Starts fast cold, and starts fast hot... Just not warm.
    -As soon as I let off the gas and i'm stationary, the revs drop to like 300 and it feels like its gooing to stall out. This only happens when i blip the throttle at idle.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    -Will

        are you running an oxygen sensor with this "custom exhaust"? problems with it can cause crappy running and/or running rich. running with no oxygen sensor will run rich. idle problems sound like a vacuum leak. any hoses missing or leaky?
