I am glad you got on here Harrison. This community will help you with your new toy.

The car has had a TON done to it. See the list below for the items I addressed.

Full breather hose set (034)
Full intercooler hose kit (")
Full coolant hose kit (")
Street engine mounts
Throttle body boot ...

So went out to get dinner last night, and tried to start the car in the garage to let her warm up.

Crank Crank Crank, barely starts and runs for 5 secs before the smell of gasoline fills my nostrils.

I pop the hood and discovered this. Looks to me like a jimmy rig?



Does anyone have a part ...

Thank you. I am glad I was finally able to get to it, meaning the brake issues.

I have contacted Marc to get his stage 1+ tuning done finally as well.

That being said, would you all recommend the 1.9 bar upgraded waste gate spring as well in addition to a new diaphragm seal?

And yea, back to ...

Just an FYI for all new type 44 owners....

Buy yourself a set a metric crowfoot wrenches. It will be worth it, it'll save time and your knuckles.

A perfect example is tightening the distributor locking plate nut.

I installed the new brake MC, and did in fact perform bench bleeding before the install.

I don't know if it was entirely necessary but I did do it.

I am now able to drive the car, get it up to full temp after some spirited driving and the front brakes no longer lockup, which is great.

I also ...

Hey everyone.

Long time, as life just simply gets in the way, as do other projects.

That being said I have a specific question.

I am going about replacing my brake MC. Do I need to bench bleed this unit before I install it?

If so how do you all go about doing so?

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for the info nmerrill

I am going to order a couple .003" thick shims from your reference but what is the ID for the shims for our 3b distributors.

Please advise and thanks for your help.

Oh i see.

What setup do you have right now?

UFOs with single piston girling calipers?

Yea eff that little valve. Good placement Audi....glad to hear it wasn't a HG

I was replacing all of my coolant hoses with 034's kit and literally bumped that valve and psssshhhhhhhssshhhhh.

So are you running HP2(s) up front?

tell me where you buy the thin metal shims that need to be added.

I guess i could tear it out and rip off the new bronze cog...

Sorry I should have been more clear hahaha!!!!

I want a 951 turbo!!!!

It doesn't surprise me that many people have contacted you about the exhaust. I mean who wants to spend 2k on a new exhaust system?

Your s6 looks very nice. GL with the sale. (I want your stromung)

Those are two pretty nice 4kq I will have to say.

I just cant let the e30 keep getting beat up by the elements....

Porsche 951 turbo anyone? lol

I feel the exact same way about my e30 and the 200. Both PNW cars and it clearly shows.

I read and reread horror stories about e30s all the time (leaks due to rust accumulation, ect) and every time I smile knowing mine has been a Tacoma (area) car all its life.

The reason I inquire about this ...

Kinda wanna purchase this little bugger...

Thoughts?

The trim lining is off as well as the upper steering column cover. All the screws that hold the cluster in are removed. I just cant slide it past the wheel....

Another question: When ever I turn my seat heaters on, left or right side, there is an audible clicking noise (relay) from under the dash ...

Upper dash cover?

Please elaborate?

Thanks,

Thank you!!!

Can someone tell me if I must remove the steering wheel to remove the gauge cluster?

If so how do I go about removing the steering wheel? Tips? Advice?

Please advise.

When I performed an overhaul on my distributor assembly I had just as much "play" in the shaft (up and down) when I reinstalled everything.

No problems.

What is the point/benefit from "drilling out" your stock air-box?

People do this with the s2000's stock air-box but it is purely for "sounds".

Is this the same scenario here?

You are correct! They just have a little plastic cover both where the arm connects and the clip where they pop in. There are two phillips screws underneath. You can pop them off with a flathead, but beware: if they're anything like mine, they're old brittle plastic and they easily disintegrate ...

Thank you for posting pics. I truly appreciate it. It looks to fit well.

Do you have any means to contact or contact info for the individual who installed it for ya? I want to know if he did in fact have to manipulate it.

It seems if your installer added a small section of pipe to the stromung ...

Wonderful. Thank you for the response. I figured as much but why not ask people who actually know, before I go and break something.

Now, can you answer my Stromung exhaust questions lol???? Please hahaha.

Another question(s).

I started the removal of the headliner last night. I was able to remove a handle, the center light and sunroof switch but can someone tell me how the visors come off?

I would imagine there are screws (just like the suit hangers) that are covered with a beauty cap?

Please ...
