And lowered the rear a bit, and change the turn signal lens to white.

Polished the rear light lens yesterday, and repaint the taillight inside, it's looks like new now. And darkened the blinkers.

I need some help. On idle the 4th cylinder has quit. No problem on rev, just on idle. The 4th spark plug is black (sometimes totally full of gas) other five are ok. I changed everything, injector, spark plug, wires, etc. Pulled the injectors out, all pushed the same quantity. Changed the intake manifold gasket, injector seals, problem stays... I think it's a vacuum problem, but i don't know where to go next. :?:

We tested now, and no problem. Changed the distributor, now it's looks fine.

I'm always want some individual wheels to my car, but it's not that simple. I have bought a set Fuchs TRX to make in the future, but I have two big problems with that. First, we can only make it to 17" (pretty big to my taste), second problem (this is the smaller :lol: ) the bolt pattern is 5x120.

But yesterday I have found the unicorn. 14" 4x100, et13. I'm really really happy. Now I can make my ultimate, perfect 16" set. :banana

Thank you guys. This is a really rare set, as Jeroen says, I can only find one on google. But if I will finish, it will be rarer. :lol:

I have written here is so long time ago, because it really was not what. All engine problems cleared after I fill only OMV fuel and I use it as much as I can. Set the rear wheel camber, and handling is much better. Sometimes I change things on the outside, and simply just love the little beast. I made a fuel pressure gauge, set the WUR pressure, and then compared to a friend's e30 327i. Not much, but my car is faster, but it later turned out the throttle is not opened completely (~90%). :lol: I set it on the floor with the screw. And bought a BBS Motorsport tail. The new project is the 4 pot Volvo calipers. I bought as it fits straightly on the 323i brakes. But it's not. :roll: So time to change to e12 hubs and e28 524td rotors.

Totally blacked out one time.

And we looks like this now.
