hey cab do you have any pics of the front of the engine where the wires run in front of timing belt cover. I have pics but of course I can't see that area specific and I know you take a lot of pics.

so most of the time the clips on the front are broken. but the lower wire is the oil pressure wire the upper wire is the KPS.

Is this the same catback that Ireland Engineering sells?

looks like crap in person, it's poorly made. i would never buy. even a stock on is better imo

[Thizzelle]

yeah think I'm missing those clips can't really see in there but wire looks to close to belt to get cut. Been finding a lot of dumb shit. He took it to a shop for timing belt and it seems like they didn't really do a good job putting stuff back together.

shoulda bought my mtech2. =P

although the battery cable that i had a place splice in is coming undone from the terminal lug.

you need 11141716134 x2. but we buy them 10 at a time for when we do other people's timing belts. if you dont have them the wires will get eaten

[Thizzelle]

Yeah just noticed it after putting everything back together. Replaced all fluids, new gaskets on oilpan, trans, and valve cover. New filters. Next is to find where i put my new fuel injectors because i can't fucking find them anywhere.

Those :curse: clips always break no matter how tender I am during a timing belt job. I ended up using Zip ties because I was too lazy to source down the clip parts. I had extra on hand for my iS, but my last e30 was a pain

1 more cab. What is that wire coming to the top of the auto trans on driver side. I think my shit is leaking from there and i can't find what part it is.

if you have the normal auto trans there are no wires going to it. if you have the special adjustable trans, it would be a remot for that. but good luck getting parts for that

[Thizzelle]

I have the 4 hp trans. The same that came with your mtech, i see the wire in auto trans pics but can't find the part number

[Thizzelle]

found it, it's called a kick down cable? saw it on the auto to manual swap post

I'm slowing dying of boredom at work. And I found a fat oil leak coming from coupe last night when i went to move it for street sweeping. I think it is the camshaft seal, and its due for a timing belt so that is going to be my weekend, provided I find somewhere to do it.

Just do it on the street with help from the local crack heads

[Thizzelle]

of course it's leaking out of the little fuck ass o-ring
