If they are not the brake lines, they are tubes for the e-brake cables. A nick in one is probably not a big deal.

Your readings and connections are correct. The connection at the base of the carb is ported, meaning that it sees vacuum based on the position of the throttle plates and the one on the intake manifold ...

Make sure you use some good hi-temp brake fluid, eg Super Blue, Motul, etc and good pads eg Performance Friction, Hawk, Porterfield when running at the track.

Looks to me like an E12 9.5:1 tii piston.

In theory, you don't even need a fuel pump relay. You could wire it directly to the key and have it on all the time. When I first ran my car that is the way it ran, then I added the fuel pump relay. A ...

The '84 and '85 318i had two pumps, one in the tank and one above the rear axle. The one in the tank is the volume pump which supplies fuel to the pressure pump under the car. Both are needed, althoug ...

Check the fuel pump relay. Check for spark. Then check fuel pressure and volume. Also make sure that the connector to the engine temperature switch is on securely. If that connector comes loose, the e ...

You might look at using the 318i manifold ('84-'85) instead. It looks the same as the '80-'83 320i manifold but already has holes in it for injectors. The 320i which used the manifold that you are thi ...

I to am running .045" with my Electromotive HPV-1 DIS system. Works great!

IIRC it is toward the back of the trans. BTW, the plug may look different than the fill plug.

There should be one on the bottom of the trans as well. That would be the drain. The one on the side is the fill plug.

Actually the engine should run very well, just a bit rich without an o2 sensor. I ran mine like that for quite a while before I figured out that I needed a 3-wire o2 not the 1-wire version. When you i ...

If you can use the 318 distributor, it would be best. You can also use a 002 or 008 as they are close in the advance curve. A stock carb distributor from an 02 is way off on the advance curve for what ...

I agree with Bill. I used some chrome mylar from a hobby store and the strips came out awesome! It is time consuming and you will need to get the strips completely clean prior to installing the new my ...

Take the whole shaft out from the other end. Remove the sheetmetal clip holding the small pin in the other end and remove the shaft. Then you can work on the shaft free from the car.

Just a thought ...

South SJ behind Oakridge Mall, about as San Jose as you can get.

Yes it can. I have been running crankfire ignition for about 5 years now. I run an Electromotive unit the HPV-1. It is no longer made, but they do make a newer version. In addition, to what was stated ...

It could be many things. Get the Bently book for an E30 and start at the beginning. Check the basics, compression, valve adjustment, proper cam timing, ignition timing, fuel pressure, fuel volume, etc ...

I recently did a similar thing to a motor for my son's 320i. The motor I used had 80K miles on it. I reused everything but the rings/bearings, water pump and seals/gaskets.

I did the head myself ( ...

Race cars generally run that way, with the vents plumbed into catch cans, so no oil or coolant gets on the track.

It is easy to do, however, if you have to pass local laws, you may not be legal.

You can use a headunit from a MINI. They are standalone if you get one that is not Harmon Kardon.

This may answer quite a few of your questions...

The easiest way is to use air tools, as in an air impact driver (or an electric one). That will get the nut off. It may destroy the threads in the process, but you are replacing it anyway right?

Congratulations to Steve Kupper, the new head of SFR Solo 2!

Way to go Steve, I just read this in Sports Car this morning!!

More than likely they will rub. Just for reference, I run 15 x 6 with a 29mm offset and with 205/50's they are real close. In fact, without rolling the lips, they would rub too.
