eBay for the cheapy door shut ones.

So I think I've got the cooling system bled correctly, turns out I do have a bleed screw, bad information led me astray. Anyway, I bled it how I understand to be correct, but time will tell. So with that sorted, it was time to put it back together and it can finally become a car again! [/url]...

Pretty sure seats have minimum safety standards they have to meet to be sold for use in a car in the UK? As a result, I doubt they'd crumble in an accident. I would imagine the general finish and material quality will be quite poor, rubbish stitching, rubbish padding, rubbish seat cover...

Not sure, while the engine is E30, the cooling system isn't. It's kinda "home brew" based on the E30 layout.

So the time has come to button the car back up. Engine wise, I'm happy. Coolant system needs a bleed, and I probably should replace the 'blue plug' (coolant temp sensor for the ECU) but that's it. So yesterday I got loads done, it looks like a car again! I really love how the engine sits...

Absolutely love these, great purchase.

Right, the exhaust is on now. It's blowing slightly, but it's on. It sounds immense! Such a lovely noise, it's maybe a bit louder than I would like, but I'll run with it for now. Firstly, cooling system. I need to get it bled properly. Problem is, I don't have any bleed screws or anything so...

Thanks for the kind words, there should be some real progress in the coming days.

Double post.

New spark plugs arrived today, so got them fitted, old on the left, new NGK's on the right: Slightly different fitting on the connector, but it seems to be fine. Idles well and revs up as it should. Slight issue with the idle dropping lower than normal when I drop the throttle all the way...

For me, I love career mode. I want more stats, things like how much a player was bought for originally, so as to show a profit/loss on that player. How many career goals that player has, or how many goals he's scored for the club since being there. Essentially what is already there, but with...

When are you buying the E28 conversion kit?

My information was bad, I did some digging and the injectors I had were correct, so I'm still not sure what was causing that buzzing noise from the injectors.

Needs more beach.

FLOL!!!!

Yeah absolutely, I did think it might have been fuelling related, but obviously not. As I say, it was an incredibly obvious mistake, almost so much so it was hard to see!

Ah yes! As Jon said, waterpump and throttle body are wearing new, OEM, gaskets. The exhaust should be done some point next week too.

So, the high idle is sorted! :D It was the simplest, and most obvious thing it could have possibly been! I actually felt pretty stupid once I noticed it! Anyway, I'll explain myself: So I looked at the realOEM drawings for the brake booster vacuum hoses and followed them. Anyway the rubber...

It's been too long since an update, been very busy with the car and a new job. It's a bit of a mixed bag at the moment. The engine runs very smoothly, no lumpiness or misfiring any more, but unfortunately it's revving very high, and I'm not talking a little bit high, it sounds like it's 3k+ and...

Link to the sale? PM if you prefer.

Just LOL at some of the responses. Absoultely fantasic work Adrian. Yeah Niall, the E21 is getting closer to being driveable, so as soon as it is, I'll be in touch for a meet. I'm keen to get a number of older BMW's together for something a little special.

Good news on the cheap fix. Nothing like a good zip tie.

Yep, looks lovely in the second shot. Have you put water on it yet? If not, do so. Dem beadz.

It sounds good considering the idle hasn't set itself yet, and it's got no exhaust. Should be sorting the exhaust this week and letting the ECU get some idle settings. My neighbour used to be into his cars, and loves the project.

Looks amazing. Zymol is awesome stuff. Less is more with regards to gassing, if it went on nice and thin it shouldn't be too bad.

So, I bought a new rad the other day, as the previous one was both the incorrect rad, and it also leaked. Got it fitted today, just need the coolant hoses to arrive and I'll get it setup. Then this weekend, I need to cut my splices out for the injector loom and resolder on the C191 plug...

Jeez, that old rad was super thin! New rad looks mint though. Wheels? ;)

Super lows aren't for me to own, but the Z3 looks decent. Standard CS haters are standard.

Yeah Jord, when I read about the ECU base idle settings, I did wonder if it would cause misfiring, I guess not. With regards to the dizzy, I don't recall it being something you could rotate or adjust the position of, pretty sure it just bolted on one way. Good thinking regarding the vacuum...

Yeah, new king lead. How do you mean, "dizzy only fit on one way"? Spark plugs aren't new, no. When we tried to rev it, it would bog down and eventually cut out. It would do the same without throttle though. Edit: Just seen that the M20 needs to be ran for 10 mins minimum on its first start...
