Transforming my Alpine 325is

I personally think you're on the right track, except I would throw that euro plate into the ocean and never look back. For how pristine the car is, that plate is just tacky. No offense.

I think some smilies would look nice on it.

A few things being done right now. New wires, rotor and cap, power-steering pump, valve adjustment and got rid of the cat. Powder coated the valve cover while it was off. A few pics to share, not much.

Does the cat delete sound good? or would it be better to take off the muffler and keep the cat?

Great looking car but i feel its missing something. IDK maybe I just dont like the early airdam and non tucked bumpers.

Agree. Just need to find a filler strip when I have some free time. Not much of that these days.

Been chasing a misfire for a bit. Did all new ignition stuff and decided to do injectors next. Got a set of cleaned E36 injectors from a fellow forum member. Here are the old injectors, think they might have had issues?!?!




New cleaned e36 next to old...

Looks great, suppper clean.

I dont really see the point in painting stock calipers, but hey if you like it =)

[Turbotalon92]

Thanks! I like calipers painted, it's an aesthetic thing just like all the other cars who have them, OEM or not. To your point, not sure there is any other reason than that, kind of like a painted valve cover or pinstripes?

So got the injectors in, much nicer power and responsiveness, old injectors had some serious carbon build up on the middle cylinder banks, much less to each end.

I have done about everything I can think off for on off load stumble and am scratching my head as it is still there. M20, new fuel filter, new injectors, new distr., wires and plugs, tested coolant sensor, and not sure where to dig next? It stumbles at idle, cold or hot, drives great under load, cold start is quick and sharp, hot start is a bit slower but not anything crazy long when turning over.

Thoughs?

Valve adjustment?

[HawaiianE30]

That's what I was going to say... sounds like they are a little tight.

[Turbotalon92]

Valve adjustment 3 weeks ago. No change in symptom at all. Same before and after. I will double check though.

Other ideas?

ICV, AFM, IAT sensor, O2 sensor? sensors galore!

This. Also pull off your TB and clean it while you're at it.

Car looks great!
