Checked my oil this morning and noted that I did not burn a drop over the 1,300 miles going back, forth and around to Asheville. Life is good.
What did you do to your E9 today?
- Thread starter adawil2002
- Start date
Well, I didn't do it in my e9, but in the e31. MET A LOT OF GREAT e9 owners whom I've only known via this Forum and the internet for the past 2 years since I bought Lorelei. I now have faces, voices, and their beautiful cars to go with their Avatars. Now, all I have to do is find the filing cabinet in my old brain where I put their Forum Logo and their actual name. THAT is going to be an interesting task!
THANKS TO ALL of you who spent your valuable time talking with me at this great gathering of Munich's finest product (well some might say their beer ain't bad either!!!).
Guten Tag,
Gary

I've put these on several 2002s with very good results. I install them near the fuel tank though; this allows the entire length of fuel line to remain full of fuel at startup. Theoretically, the fuel should not drain back to the tank if all the clamps and connections are tight, but theory and reality seldom agree...

Thanks for the input Ed. Followed DQ's advise on how and where to install it but what you write for sure makes sense as well.
where did you source this?

Bought it at Wallotnesh Steve. It's a Pierburg made part.
I'm not sure which part everyone else used, BMW used these to address a fuel pressure issue in the 90's, or so I have been told. They work well and enthusiasts install them on all makes and models.

Steve,
Here's the valve:

(the pic looks different in the Amazon listing, but it's the one I've used on several cars now)
and some chatting about it on FAQ

This is what the BMW factory part looks like:
I bought a package of 2 on eBay, about $9. One of my favourite fixes
Finally replaced control arms. What a significant difference. Used the ocap units. Super solid feel through the steering wheel. Wow.
Thanks to "der maestro" DeQuincy, I now have the Bert P fire extinguisher installed in the coupe.
A very elegant and simple installation. Ready for action should the unthinkable occur!

I enrolled in a weber carb linkage 101 class from professor Stevehose up at the at Vintage and sure enough he found some loose connections and gave me some homework. Just tighted everything up and cleaned the plugs. While it ran fine at idle the first carb was a little out of sync at it would backfire at around 60 mph so the first 2 plugs where starting to foul on the drive home. Thanks Steve.

This looks uncannily like mine did a while ago. Uncanny. I will post some pictures as we might both be building the same car!At last, it's done, now all bits and pieces have to be put together again
