after lots of trouble in recommissioning last year
background:
It is a 1991 reg E30 325i Sport that I have owned since 1994, and which I treated to a full Hartge conversion in period.
we had trouble with the top end has recently been rebuilt- now redone with a griffin head with all the Hartge stuff put back into it- staggering how large the valves are! Fritz supplied the Griffin head- and Steve rebuilt it again (FOC)
I have even managed to get the self closing alarm working- and have ordered two new alarm fobs as the old ones were pretty broken
Slightly old P6000 Pirellis- 106k from new
But a lovely lumpy idle - it sounds far meaner than "Herman" the Alpina
Old dyno sheets say around 195 bhp
It has a Hartge shortshifter
Fitted a s'hand power steering pump from Fritz (after one I bought on EBay did not work)
I put a new modified ECU from a retired E30 racer (thanks Ian) into it- which has removed the annoying 6250 rpm cut off.
Runs very well but could do with a a new idle control valve- which is on order.
Hope to get it out on the drags for that rematch vs Alpina - having found the problem with the leaking head
It is certainly easier to drive smoothly/ well balanced- perhaps it is a case of familiarity?
