Jdesign Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Oh man, I haven't seen that in ages. I also never noticed that his lighter had a BMW roundel on it. In other news, Earl actually asked me about his car this week. I think he might be anticipating some effort towards it this year!

HipMF Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Agreed. Odd. Makes sense, but also makes no sense. It's absurd; not in a Baldessari way, but in a way that your average car guy can understand. Big 'A' art for the little guy (given the fact that the world we live in is absurd and this is merely a reflection of it)?

First time it's moved in many months. Much feels. Should really get that thing sorted so I could actually start using/enjoying it. It's a pretty neat car.

I know it goes against your core beliefs, but finding someone to dyno tune it is a really good thing in life. Then it runs / drives with a higher level of reliability and you can tweak from there knowing your starting point is strong.

Then it runs / drives with a higher level of reliability and you can tweak from there knowing your starting point is strong. I have considered that. Last time I took it for a long drive (highway miles) in hot weather, it was on the verge of overheating. Not sure if that means the 318is radiator is inadequate, or if it's tune related. Regardless, at a minimum I would need to get the PCV situation figured out before I would feel like I could put it on a dyno without it being an embarrassment. But yeah, there's also that issue of trusting other people enough to let them touch my stuff and violating my DIY ethic... Besides that, there are high-level artistic reasons for letting it stall. The progress on the car is meant to parallel my progress in life, but the car has gotten a bit ahead of me. There's work I need to do in other areas before I can really focus on the car again.

KaiserRolls Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Dyno tunes have their place for sure. Street tuning and dialing in drivability is awesome though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street tuning and dialing in drivability is awesome though I`ve spent a fair amount of time and brake pads getting the fuel dialed. I suspect the heat issue is due to inadequate timing, but you really need a dyno to tune the timing at lower loads. Also (aside from the PCV...) need to get a weaker wastegate spring and wire/plumb some boost control, but this thread is supposed to be about why Earl hasn't touched his project, not about mine... #vintage2023 Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdesign Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Anything to keep it interesting. I cant wait till he finally logs in again and has 847 notifications about the most random stuff on his build thread. So what did you guys do this weekend?

Jdesign Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I considered moving earls car up and down on the lift just to say it "moved" . . . . I decided it was too much work. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
