Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / stock resonator--restrictive or not?

« on: July 02, 2010, 10:29:39 AM »

hey there. i've a full Supersprint exhaust with cat made for the E30 318is. But it has no sound, only the engine. I want to have some decent low sound, but i decided not to take out the cat, coz it's originally maded, and it will only crap this nice exhaust.
So i'm looking for some sport air filters (K&N, Green,....), and here is the deal.
To go with a filter in to the original airbox (http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=33-2059 - this is made for the IS)
Or to check something universal like this (http://www.knfilters.com/universal/universal.htm).
I think the uni is not the best way, so if there is a good quality open air filter made for the 318IS, just show me.

thx for the welcome.
what are you looking for? i've a guy, which makes me good prices for all parts, and they are mostly from german manufacturers, not chinese shits.

btw a real kick ass is the back side window. coz here in europe we have no version with the open windows, and i'm looking for this stuff.

only thing i'm afraid of, is the $$ for delivering.

EDIT : btw the upgrades which i made since i bought the lovely : gas tank change (this was a real shit job), spark plugs changed (NGK BKR6EK), oil 10W-40 polosynthetic. Some other stuff, and it's a lot of work ahead, but the car is making me so happy every time a drive it. The painting is not so well, but the first is the technical side, after it comes things like painting.

Engine + Driveline / Still losing coolant

« on: June 27, 2010, 05:18:15 AM »

Hey there, i'm not sure, but i think i might have a cracked head or something like that.
I'm loosing the coolant (0.2-0.3l - 1000km), if i check the plugs, on two of them is the oily thing, but can't see the choco milk, and oil is not loosing at this time.

I will drive it for a few weeks, and will see if it turns bad or not, maybe it's something other. The best thing is to test the pressure you say ?
