4ABHGE

2 effing G. Car has been sitting around for the last week with a few issues and i just got the chance to work on it today. Car started up beautifully, but had a few teething issues with the new motor. There's a bearing on one of the pulleys thats about to seize up so its making all kinds of noises, then when i put my foot over half throttle it just bogged down. I thought the timing was out so i adjusted the dizzy and played around until it was running perfectly. Took it for another drive, same problem but it now caused the engine light to come on. So i bridged the diagnostic thing to check out the engine code and turns out it was number 52. Looked through this 4AGE book that the sparky gave me and it only had codes until 51... great. So i jump on my phone and google said engine code and it turns out numero 52 is actually for the #1 Knock sensor. I looked around the knock sensor for the wire and gave it a tug and it was on its connector, tried to start it again and same problem. Now im crapping myself thinking this new motor is farked. I thought i might aswell try and disconnect and reconnect the knock sensor plug, turns out the plug wasnt sitting on its connector properly. Fire it up again after this and all was perfect! the loose plug was causing the engine to think it was knocking. Problem solved. :D So I gave it a wash, and drove it all afternoon and had the biggest cheesiest grin on my face lol Engine pulls hard compared to the bigport and just has so much more torque... motor is at another level + the sounds.. oh the sounds.... its just awesome! Now i just gotta put all that dash back in tomorrow and fix the bearing on the pulley, secure a few more things and make a plate for the ECU to sit in the footwell.... Onward to some pics! Skids all weekend?

LOL fair enough.. makes sense and in that case youre defs doing it right ;)

Just make sure you remember that more low doesnt make it faster. For the track i run mine 20mm higher than on the street, so i can keep all my suspension working in its correct geometery... which means less understeer and better turn in ;) Good buy with the tires! I might see you up at winton next month, but i wont be racing :(

LIES. Time for a 2GR-FZE ;)

Need moar pics... and also more kleenex hahahahh

Spotted a shmexy white sportivo with plates that read "JWHATT"

I agree on the E30, defs the best car BMW made and in a close second the 135i turbo coupe thing. Awesome cars! They go really well with just a few mods done to them and the way they handle is just fantastic. I almost bought one instead of my Twinky and i was planning to eventually put a 1UZ in there once i was on my full licence, maybe before... Your car looks great, keen to see pics of the lip and foggies installed ;) Corolla is so clean, so shiny Nice shirt too! :)

So retro bro!! Love where youre taking this car, looks so 80's :D

I see more Magna than R34 :P

Wheels turned out great! :) BTW did the ninjastars end up fitting on ok?

Youre such a tease! lol

Car looks cleeean!! :D

Baaad! I dont want to think about it... Thanks mate :)

DORIFTTOOOOOO!!!!! ahahha Nice rides youve got there. do you have any more info and pics of the E30? Was it your daily before? Somewhere deep inside i have a soft spot for those cars :)

My car is all wired up and ready to go, but when we tried to crank it over nothing happened... woot. The sparky thinks he knows what the problem is, so if all goes to plan ill get it back friday. Shes so dusty and smells funny too :(

Woah!! It looks awesome with the 20 voltz and the new wheels! Do you know what those wheels are? theyre awesome

Awesome stuff! I love these cars, and yours is a great example of one :)

sanding, painting, and polishing was done by hand :)

I prefer 14's over 15's but when it comes to track wheels im limited if im buying in Australia :/ 5.5's are also half an inch wider than stock. Theyre good daily wheels :)

Still haevnt gotten my car back. Was due to have it back today, but it seems ill get it back on monday or tuesday. Yeah i know the date keeps on changing, but its out of my control really :( just looking forward to getting it back soon :D Also, started restoring my wheels again and have finished 2 of them so far. Theyre Gemini wheels 14x5.5 with about a 20 offset (before and after btw ;) ) Theyve cleaned up really well. After taking the silicon/gunk that they have on them off then polishing, painting and polishing again, especially with all the spokes these wheels have it takes a fair bit of time. can't wait to see them on the car now that theyve been cleaned up :D
