What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[Avetiso]

Ripped apart my car. Intake manifold is off, changing starter, CCV and all hoses, new vacuum lines, ICV clean, throttle body clean, new gaskets, z4m Fcabs, new tie rod assemblies.

Car has been parked for two months and has cob webs on it, time to get it running!

Want an m54 intake manifold? 330

Bought myself two years to deal with engine swaps

I thought you couldn't do engine swaps in CA?

You can. We have "smog referees" that need to approve them on a case by base basis.

You can so long as the engine is newer than what it's replacing.

Stephen... any idea what oil and interval your car has used?

My update today... alignment at dealer.
$129.99 not bad.

I don't. I've changed oil twice with bmw oil. Had the car for less than 6,000 miles.

Id love to, but I just bought a new DISA too.. And my car is cable driven no drive by wire like the 330. It can be done, but I think i need a tune as well. Gets pretty expensive to do the whole 9 yards.

My car's been sitting outside for 4 days... House projects take precedence over car projects... The good news, house project is done (wife is in charge of decorating and that's all that's left) so tomorrow I begin on car projects, specifically, super secret mod...

Was that the window project? Post an update in that thread.

You barely made the grade.......at least you made it. Till next time. You have two years for the swap. That is your mission.

Yeah, I'm definitely giving up on K-jet and putting a new engine in. Too bad there were no M10 Motoronic

Good riddance! What a difference.
