  3. GTA V

    in General Off-Topic

    Posted

    Its a fun game. The map is huge, cars are customizable, you can golf, flip people off, fly planes, customize weapons, etc. It has the same feel as gta 4, but the graphics/lighting and game aspects are much better. Cars also sway less and blow up when you do a tripple barrel backflip off a cliff. :D

  4. 1990 325ix no start???

    For future reference, other than what was said here, I have a couple misc things to add. I have had my share of e30 m20 no starts.

     

    1. If no crank, there is a wire that connects to the starter sometimes refered to as the "exciter" wire. Sometimes it gets corroded or loose. It has a 90* crimped connector on it.

     

    2. There needs to be oil in the engine and the oil level sensor on the top of the oil pan needs to be plugged in. The car wont get an injector pulse.

     

    3. Loose cap and rotor. Be careful with those bolts for the upper timing cover, they attach to the aluminum cylinder head. If they are loose, your going to missfire.

     

    4. The crank position sensor and reference sensor connectors on the engine harness are very close and can be swapped accidentally.

     

    5. Some years had an injector harness connector. This can get filled with corrosion and cause no injector pulse, but rare in my opinion.

     

    6. Major vacuum leak.

  5. The M4

    Bean Counters and Marketing.  BMW used to be straight forward....if it said 325i on the back it was a 2.5L engine in a 3 series.  They fucked that up.

     

    Then they started adding all the different series, stopped putting the same size engine in that matched the name, etc.

    Actually in the early 80s, the 320i was a 1.8l also the 325 and 325e up until 88 are 2.7l. I believe the e12 also had something similar, like a 3.0l 528?

     

    It really never was clear.

  13. E30 air conditioning

    R12 is more dense and can get a colder. Its less likely to leak. I dont see R12 locally, but with a recent law change, you can buy it online in small quantities. Most cars take about 2 lbs. Its good to put oil in there and some dye if its leaking a little. Dont use any type of stop leak.
