Re: Project 326i
Every one who has ever build or rebuild engine, knows the feeling of first starting!
I want a new project car!
Oh, yeah! Congrats!

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Re: Project 326i
After this little vid' it's wont start again. I have some hard days to find the problem. I love the k-jet, gas and spark and it's starting, but the spark is missing from this two simple things. We watched everything from a to z, but didn't find anything.
No spark from the ignition coil. I have 3 ignition coil, 3 ignition module, 3 distributor, but nothing. The distributor give the impulse, have the signal on the ignition coil, i changed the ignition modules, ignition coils and nothing, and of course the ignition coils working on my friends car. Insanity....On my final desperation, i changed the engine wiring loom, aaand.....bingo! Now i refurbished the brakes, and build back on this weekend.

Re: Project 326i
Weird moment to fail after it's been working fine just before that, glad you found the cause, you were running out of options there! Well, solved now!

Re: Project 326i
Little updates. I will slowly overcome the problems arising. The fuelpump was die, after I finished the brakes, and wanted to roll out from the garage. I'm not even surprised... no problem, I stole a fuelpump from my friends e30. want to change the spark plugs, 'cause it's not 100%. But I love the engines response, it's very direct.

Re: Project 326i
Truly amazing work from such a shell into a decent e21, like the extended front lip too.

Re: Project 326i
Thanks! It's much more work then I think on the start, I want to finish soon, just need painting.
Re: Project 326i
I am also liking this a lot. It's such a great feeling when it fires up the first time.

Re: Project 326i
Thanks Nas! The first start, yes, definitely. But if the stuff don't want to firing again, it's not the best feeling.
Re: Project 326i
I've never had a single one run properly on the first go. Usually this tradition means it's going to run great when u work out what that minor issue is that caused a big problem!

Re: Project 326i
After 3 weeks and 12 hours of work a day, it's MOT'd.
