My project 84 318i

[blunttech]

so this is where all these parts are going? i havent had a chance to check it out until now. looks awesome. i bet its nice driving a car in semi stock form all new like that

[FredK]

Finally my car has heat, for the record e30 325i heater core valve works just fine in place of 318i valve. I installed new hoses, hard and soft and o-rings. Now I don't have to freeze my balls off in winter....

Ah, good to hear things worked out! :D

[Pinepig]

where is the shop at where you did the work? is that pinepig's haus?

That's my Pops place.

Good times, even though you like to just sit there and laugh lol Without your help/garage it would probably take me 10x as long to get anything done.

Good times, even though you like to just sit there and laugh lol

OOOoooo you've done it now, next time I WILL just sit there and laugh.


I do have to admit You and AJ are thre best car noobs I've had, we won't talk about Landon or Tom, hell you couldn't even change the oil in your car when you first started coming over.

[MR 325]

Looking great Jean, just caught up with this thread.

Switch that puppy over to 20w50 oil.

[Jean]

Thanks! I've been using 10w40, will give 20w50 a shot once engine is replaced.

Cleo modelling next to my next mod lol

[Nicademus]

Where did you score that you punk! I'm jealous. I love your car though like I've said a couple times already.

[e30edward]

can't wait to see that moonroof in!

im jealous!

[MR 325]

Possibly going to be the nicest M10 318i ever!

[Japandrew73]

You inspire me to make my 318i m10 look like yours. I really want a moonroof like yours. When installing it please use detailed pics so i can see how exactly you installed it. I am saving up for a moonroof right now. Like I said, LOVE your car!

[Jean]

I was wondering why I could smell gas in the mornings.... this fuel rail to cold start valve hose was shot. I thought maybe it was an o-ring at the FPR as I recently replaced the FPR.



it didn't leak bad as the crack/cut was on the inner side of the bend, but as soon as I moved it it was obvious... replaced it and all is good for now.



P.S. m10 is going bye bye , say hello to 3.5L of displacement.

[E30_Pare]

When is the swap going to happen? Oh and what LSD are you running on your m10? I'm looking to get off of the 3.91 open diff and maybe run a 4.10 or 3.73, but I haven't heard much of how well they work with an m10.

[Jean]

I am using a s3.73 with my M10 and it helps with acceleration, top speed is still above 125+ , so it works out fine.

Hopefully if my rebuilt head sells I'll be picking the m30b35 up this weekend.

Jean,
Do you own an s2000 and e30?
