        Man of Steel's mom is rhetorical...

        Go see This is the End, hilariously god movie, Man of steel did not deliver the goods, but was okay.

        Insurance said I'm not at fault now it's a waiting game to see how much from the other insurance...There may be a potential part out well see how this develops.

          Due to this post I will be purchasing a set of these GE coilovers.

            Good Morning, TGIF!

            I took the Mtech for a ride yesterday to pick up Brian. It had not been driven for quite some time. I need to get back on this build and get-r-done.

            A quick question for the experts. When I start the car it has the high low revs and then it dies. Once it warms up it sits around 1000 rpm's. All the vacuum lines are new and we have done a smoke test so that is not the problem. I am thinking either the ICV or the coolant sensor but would appreciate any suggestions. I am going to attack this problem today and see if I can't get it running right.

            Cheers,

            Jim

              Try switching out the TPS and maybe that'll regulate your idle, oh and check your FPR.

                Havent heard of GE coils before. E30 only or other makes also? Who are they? Is it a joint venture between GC and IE?

                  Jim, check the adjustment on your TPS or swap it as E mentioned! Since I know you have a stash of parts over there you can't just throw things at it until it's fixed if you want... Only causes would be TPS, AFM, ICV, or ECU coolant sender.

                      Does he have one that fits an e12? cuz that will work for mine. later models work with the e28 parts.

                      Standard slip over coils work for the rear. Generally the fronts are weld on sleeves.

                      I have rear coilovers now and cut sprints in front. I would like to get the front coils tho. do the kits include shocks and struts? are you able to rebuild them?

                        Thanks guys, I will start swapping out those parts from Brian's car which was running fine until the crash of 2012.

                              I am not sure I'd PM him or hopefully he responds here regarding fitments, but e30's are the same for the front weld on sleeves affair. He has a link to his site you should give that a check as well.
