    something missing???

    popped the hood to see why it wasn't running good and found this :shock:









    Finally got around to pulling the motor yesterday.

        Nothing, I bought it needing a rebuild and finally got around to pulling the motor. The line about it not running was a joke :p

        At least it's not pink ;-)

            I'd hate to copy your car

                  Nothing really. Previous owner pulled the head and had it redone, gathered all the parts for the lower end, then got shipped overseas for his job, came back and quit and needed to sell it. So I'm just rebuilding it back to basic stock for now.

                  Thanks for rubbing that in. I'll find some others

                    Just a old, worn, tired motor? Thats what I ment with my other post.

                      I'm looking forward to seeing this car once you've put some time/effort into it...looking back on your 325is, i'm expecting big things out of this one.

                        Ya, 155k miles on it. The more I take it apart the better it looks though, it's in pretty good shape. Still have my fingers crossed that I can get away with a hone and not have to bore it.

                          Should be fun.

                          Lets hope it is in good condition. If not, ah well, means you will be doing that 2.5 grp A rebuild a little earlier ;)

                              Wait until you try and justify a CF airbox...
                              I can't justify it yet, but I still torture myself with incredible s14 induction noise videos....
