Hmmmm details

[1craze30]

He said it was s50, he didns seem like a tool whe I was talkin to him, but I could be wrong. And yes his car was hella dirty

[Wschnitz]

Brushed off the connections and tightened. Now it runs at 800rpm instead of 1000. Ill see if it fixes the bucking.

Mini r3v meet going on at the shop today. Luke and Phil. Carl just left with a car load of iX weaves

I'm peanut butter.

He saved that M3, so sure its dirty. But it could also be in the junkyard in pieces

[PNWDan]

I'm checking that battery cable, fingers crossed, it could indeed be that as my battery area is quite a mess, ill show you a pic.

There is a fusable link on the DME power wire from the battery. Those get old and can have micro cracks causing an intermittent brown out like you describe.

Oh its quite a mess, a ground isn't attached, a wire that was attached to battery cable is broken..

I kinda have a thing for the M42 now :D

[Quadrajet]

Since I haven't had some of the issues with the M42, I'm with you. Although I'd like to try the lightened flywheel swap.

Sell the wagon and upgrade

[AustinK425]

seriously considering taking a loss on the wagon and buying that sedan.... We should go check it out soon and get some nice pics for a cl ad. I can sell the goodies on the side for some extra cash :D I wanna feel the difference in handling sedan vs coupe.
