My new '96 ti, black m technic

[eastbayti]

I'm new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I bought my ti about a month ago for $7,000. It had about 73k when I bought. Just installed H&R sport springs and bilsteins. Also just installed a z3 short shifter and clear corners. It runs perfect except for occasional rough idle. The first owner decided to replace the front bumper because it had stone chips in it, but he put the wrong one on.:frown: So eventually I will put the m bumper back on. I also need the rear diffuser since someone stole it. Anyone know where I could get one besides dropping $200 at the dealer? The title says it was a direct import, don't know what that means. Also it doesn't have a sunroof, I think thats kind of rare. These cars are so much fun to drive. I don't think i'll ever get rid of it. Now I need to find a DASC:wink:

Seafoam it!:yes:

This might be a stupid question, but how do I seafoam it?

Make a video when you do get around to doing it. hehe everyone likes to see it. you can also youtube seafoam and check out some visual examples.

Just did seafoam today. It seems like it helped. It definatly revs smoother, but I still have rough idle. Although it appears alot less. Seems like only at night for some reason. You can see it here:

I found it was useful in finding an exhaust leak I've had for a few weeks now.
I also finally got the diffuser. It looks much better.

But turn your indicators round the right way (pet peeve) ;)

You just need some springs on it now, and itll be purfekt :)
