I think I might order a revshift poly subframe, diff, and trailing arm bushing kit this weekend, 80a hardness... thoughts? I wonder if they could make me a transfer case bushing...

Power washed my engine bay and fried some relays
been having some weird random rough idle and no start issues. Swapped in some spare e28 relays and it fixed the no start but I still get the occasional rough idle when I first start the car... -
Damn! Good call! Went out and started it and when it started to stumble, I unplugged the TPS and it immediately shot back up to 900rmp. Can the TPS be adjusted or does it just need to be replaced? I do have a spare if needed.
-
Pulled the tb off but one of the mounting screws for the tps is stripped. Kinda annoying.
-
Installed the spare TPS and it still doesn't want to idle correctly.
when I unplug the TPS the rpms jump up to 900 where it should be. With it plugged in they are at around 6-700... makes me sad. -
Forgot about the idle issue, it went away I think it just took some time for something to get dried out.. power washing engine bay - never again
Also someone at a car show I went to took this with a real camera.. I like!
Also thanks Andy for the new fog light! got it in just in time for the show

m20 i head - $40
4 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec - $60
Total investment - $380
By the time I got there the dash, race springs, e engine, 1 i engine and the seats were sold to people who paid him through paypal. lol cheaters I was the first one there :[
-
maybe I already have a s52 crank for that haha, I kinda want to take the rods out of it but the BMW gods may forsaken me for disassembling a perfectly good bottom end just for the rods lol
-

-
If you don't want to use the bottom end I most certainly would

We'll see, I want to put it on an engine stand, pull the oil pan and see how a few crank and rod journals look compared to the crank I have. I more or less bought the s52 stuff as a financial investment so I guess if the price is right.
