Stigissimo's ZHP Touring

Slater, so you know where to get the headliner fabric? Would that allow me to fix a few items on a Coupe like the third brake light cover? Is this the same or is other material being used as a covering?

i found it on ebay....

You know the car, I don't. But I personally see no other reason someone would swap for 330 trailing arms. Word is it's a b*tch job.

it's not hard or that bad, really. however, i'm pretty sure 330 axles only work with 330 trailing arms, and i know 330 axles only work with a 330 rear diff (unless the output shaft flanges were changed). this could get messy (read: expensive) quickly if the guy building it used the 3.07 but opted to keep the rest of it 325... checking the axles and output shaft flanges would be a dead giveaway.

You tease you! I'm so tempted to spill the beans here

dude, contain yourself!

secondly - what about MTechII side skirts, and the black pillars and headliner? you need those too to complete the conversion. i MAY have a black pillar conversion kit for sale soon. (and i know where to get the headliner fabric.)

I'd rather help a fellow member/can't do it myself. Please PM me when you have a FS thread. I know someone interested and I might be too if I keep signing in new clients...

Didn't mean to threadjack!!

Alright Folks, it wouldn't be my luck if I didn't encounter a problem within the first month of ownership:

Problem: Just encountered a rough idle today. Idle starts out smooth and becomes progressively worse, to the point where the idle RPMs lower, the car shakes, and it feels as if it's going to stall.
- No SES lamp
- Unplugged MAF, no change
- smooths out if giving it steady gas, holding at 1k.

This may be related to a "problem" I've noticed since buying the car: when allowing the fuel pump to fully prime at ignition 2, the car cranks for a solid 3-4 seconds before a weak startup. If I simply put the key into the ignition and go straight to cranking (past ignition 2 & no priming) it starts in literally 1-2 cranks - quickest e46 startup I've ever heard.

First thought diagnosis:Camshaft position sensor? I've heard these cause idle issues. Actually have one sitting in my basement. Would it explain the startup though??

Other Thought: Fuel issue. Perhaps the strange startup sequence explains it; when primed, the fuel lines quickly lose pressure causing a long crank. Without the priming there's no time for the fuel lines to lose pressure and it starts right up.

- Not a dirty MAF, as unplugging didn't affect idle.
- Likely not coils, as I would get a misfire code.

Whatch'all thank?

Update to this.

I have two passive codes: P0171 (Lean bank 1) and P0174 (Lean bank 2). Pointing more fingers at the fuel filter?

Yoo Stig. I know nothing about this but am down to come through if you need an extra hand

Oh thanks! If it is the fuel filter or CPS, generally is a quick swap. Will def letcha know if I need a hand though!
