jut Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 ordered a new rear wiper arm for the touring and various fixings etc for the e28 as its now in bits. I think my local dealer must love it when I ring at 12:28 on a saturday and start asking for really obscure items for a 29 year old car!

Chimp Choker Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 All Ccv pipes are on and dipstick tube back in. Bloody started to rain again though, probably got about 60 mins left to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sive s Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Fitted the ac schnizter back on the car. Cost of 100 to fix the buckle and crack. Will be taking it to them for a full refurb in august. Need to sell the bbs rs reps and buy some oem alloys. Looking at a square set up for winter. After some 10 or 12 mm spacers too now. Don't know where to look. Edited May 3, 2015 by sive s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evokid Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Fitted 330 Intake manifold to my 328ci, with upgraded DISA, Throttle body adapter and renewed all the vacuum pipes that were perished :-) . Took some time to find the hidden bolt on block!! But a well worth while mod, it definitely pulls more from 4k to redline!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Doh! Whilst doing the CCV I've accidently disconnected the intake cam sensor from the wiring conduit box. May get away with just removing the airbox and MAF for access Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 CCV ticked off list. Its not to bad a job and requires no real tools expect that you would find in a standard toolkit. Would I do 1 again, absolutely Mr Xen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuBeeDoo Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Started modding my e30 map light mirror to enable the lights to come on with the doors.
