Have you reached out to Mark? He does mail order chips.

Have you seen my join date? Lol. Had it for a bit before joining any forums. Hence the username "ForcedFirebird" due to the nature of my thirdgen f-body v6 twin turbo, and forum activity in...

Clicked the link before leaving work today, and it was already gone. Was kinda looking forward to getting 30 iPhone X's for $11,500 CAN...

I have offered to help with it in the past. Just because we are long time members, doesn't mean we have the super secret handshake....

Varg is a Volvo transplant. He is impervious to forum roasts.

I use solder after assembly, and clay during. Your idea sounds nifty, though, Digger. Sounds like it would be easy to use a dial indicator on such a setup too.

[ForcedFirebird]

Correct. Just like aftermarket chips, this will only work in Motrinic 1.3 boxes with a single layer circuit board (173, 525 etc). Will not work in Motronic 1.1 such as153 variants (dual PCB's) or Motronic...

Derp....

Actually the other dampers are the same. There is still rubber between the reluctor and crank. One of my clients actually found the limits of an m20 damper - they don't take to 8,000 RPM in door-to-door...

I was wondering why there was a notification for your post, but couldn't see it haha....

I was going to mention detonation blowing the gasket before reading all the latest posts. I had an m20 grenade in a similar fashion, except it was a loose crank bolt that caused the key way to get gouged...

Crazy. Didn't even look at the listing until today and realized it's auto. My first e30 was in similar condition, but manual and Delphin on black- hard to believe this one didn't meet reserve at exactly...

GLWS! I always secretly wanted an ix, but too far and already have other projects on the burner.

It sounds like you probably just need to rebuild the head, not an entirely new engine. I have...

Like Mike's experience, I too sold a custom entertainment center my wife's ex-boss had custom built for their house. We bought a lot of their furnishings when they were moving, but the entertainment center...

Says another guy with an e30 at the shop :P...

[ForcedFirebird]

They way I do it, cam comes out last, and goes in first just like m20. On m20 you can rotate the cam as you slide the rockers off the cam lobes - once that happens, the shafts slide out one end or the...

BUMP

Motivated seller. Albeit this is more rare than our normal inventory, don't be afraid to ask for other e30 parts in good working order :)

A piano is like a Mercedes Benz. They are expensive to purchase new, look beautiful in black, but they always are worth 10% of new cost in just a few years - a lot of people end up giving them away for...

I've used those fittings several times over the years, they are great (work on lsx swaps too) - they are also sold in the other direction (male quick disconnect to -an).

Will, since you are...

Lol. I was selling a Mitsu 3000gt for a friend who was out of the country. Good running manual car, some clear coat coming off, but otherwise a reliable car, everything worked and was presentable. I put...
