Another Not-an-E30 thread... The Worst Spec w201 16v, but I still have to save it

[2mAn]

After letting it bake outside for months I finally got a chance to get back out there... still not running but Im picking up the motivation to get it going. Sort-of-spoiler on the video, I decided to install my Nardi Steering Wheel to feel like its becoming my own. Luckily I have my Habibi MrBurgundy to reply to my texts and I think Im on the right track.





The wood doesnt match perfect, but I think I will rock it until I get an offer on the Steering Wheel itself.

I'm on retainer, but with no pay

True... BUT have you had my Turkish Coffee yet? I will drive to you and make you the most delicious cup of crack that will get you from 0-100 faster than this car will get to 60mph

Late to the party here, but I suggest hitting up 190rev if that's still around. I remember reading about fuel accumulators being problematic on these.

190rev redirects straight to Facebook and we know how much fun THAT place is...

That and a cigar


Those fuel accumulators are problematic but will give you long hot cranks

Thats a deal I will deliver on absolutely.

well well well.... this MIGHT be a f'n reason this car wont start...



This appears to be a A/C Compressor relay for a 6 cylinder car, pin-outs on the back do not match what the 4 cylinder fuel pump relay should have.

Hoping to have my hands on one tomorrow and we will see if thats been the issue.

Stay tuned...

It's tomorrow. What's the word?

Shipping headaches... The part was in San Bernadino, and has been in transit to Canoga Park (big warehouse), then it was going to the "local" hub of Culver City, then to its final destination in Inglewood where I was going to pick it up. At this point, it isnt showing arriving in Canoga Park yet. If I get lucky (ha!) then it will be here tomorrow, but if not the chances of getting it before the weekend is slim.

I'm annoyed...not only do I have to inform you, but I have someone else waiting to find out if the listing will be Bring-A-Trailer project, or Do-You-Want-To-Risk-It-And-Drive-It-Home Project.
