BMW E30 side indicators roughly fitted to the SkyWagon. Still need to cut n polish around where the original ones were.

Hard ^ Stock ^ Low Kings

Front and rear is much more even now. Rear is 30mm lower than the stockies.

Nice :thumbsup:

That's why I like your BBS rims Bill. That Snake Tongue Spoke design has alway been my Favourite.

Rims on the 33.

Rims on the Micra.

Drove out to Theodore and back. The King Springs feel great! :D

(I might have to adjust the headlights to point more down at the ground now) :yes:

Ive been slack and done nothing, waiting for the good paint stripper to be in stock.

I have to strip it to bare metal, because the clear is peeling and you never know what exactly makes it peel.. so it has to be all removed or it will happen again.

I would like to sodablast but it will cost a few hundred for sure, and my aim is to keep the cost as low as possible but still do a proper job.

Shes all pulled apart, vynil gone, even got the doorhandles out.

Must fit brake air deflectors and radius rod braces tonight.

In the meantime im learning some tricks and techniques to make it quick, easy, cheap and good quality.

What i did to the interior bugs me, so i try not to think about it. ill take care of that later.

Drove her to work and back today as she had not moved in two weeks due to the extreme heat. Will take it again tomorrow i think. It was loving the cold weather.

Well in the mail today I received 3 packages, 36mm socket, CV boot and my adjustable control arm bushes.

So today I finally got out the 2nd tie rod end (after 2 broken tie rod end splitter tools, hammering, ball joint forking and heating) and burnt out the old control arm bushes.

Hopefully tomorrow my new tie rod ends turn up and I have time to buy a tap and die set so I can get the control arms back in.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
