  • was the car sitting for a long time? Some report that the return inside the tank itself gets clogged if car sits for a long longtime with old fuel. Go under the left side of the car, disconnect the return...

    I spoke with Rama and have him watched the video. He said he can send me the throttle after the return but also he said that since I'm running vacuum, the difference I have is not that bad for the idle...

    Rama said don't mess with plates so I took his word for it. No compression test yet, still putting miles on the engine to fully break it in....

    my understanding is that at WOT, this balancing error is really not that critical (unless of course it's a huge difference). But for good idle and off idle throttle response it is. I don't have any issues...

  • I really believe Z3 trailing arm OEM design is all most e30s really needs. Designed for S50 so should be able to handle some abuse, the same for the subframe design. You know how trailing arms become...
