chees- Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 nadda, jacked it back up to get a wof, lost license, so left it jacked so my sis could drive it(curbed my wheels first day driving it ). she's left to ny for 2 years so i've dropped it again. /155/55s = low testing some 20mm spacers on the rear, might run these up front and try find some 30mm for the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Calico Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Isn't a guy on here selling one? & it would've been mine had he not decided to keep it.... ha good though Bottlecaps look sweet, I see some horrid wheels on e30's, why is so many peoples' modus operandi 'Spend money to go backwards' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 someone here might be able to help me, the other day i ran it quite low on petrol(almost empty) and it started bogging down under load. have since filled it up and the problems persisted, it revs happily in neutral, idles slightly lower than norm but the moment you give it any throttle under load it pretty much loses all power. i can still drive it fine to a certain extent by using barely any throttle. i've replaced the fuel filter and it helped a little bit(was pretty blocked), i'm guessing it could either be the fuel pump dying or the carb jets are blocked up just wondered if anyone had a better idea before i start dropping money on fuel pumps etc?

chees- Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 hmmm that would require a compressor. fuck. also wouldn't it have been caught by the filter? which is at the back by the fuel tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Apparntley llamas cant read....rofl i've replaced the fuel filter and it helped a little bit(was pretty blocked), i'm guessing it could either be the fuel pump dying or the carb jets are blocked up just wondered if anyone had a better idea before i start dropping money on fuel pumps etc? The fact it helped means there is probably some other shit blocked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escorto. Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Is it an in tank pump? They tend to overheat and die when the tank is run low too often. The Fuel cools them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 yep in tank, that was my thought. gonna clean the carb out first just incase. also been pink stickered, so i'll leave the fueling issues till after i get that removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
