Hey all, I'm new to this forum. Just moved from old Volkswagen project cars to a 96 318Ti cali edition. I will start a thread for my project and I look forward to learning from everyone.
Thanks! |  |  | | 04-13-2010, 02:31 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Georgia Posts: 148 |

Still working on the details of acquiring the car as soon as it's in the garage pics will be up... it's not too pretty needs some truckloads of TLC | | | | | 04-13-2010, 03:03 AM | #4 | | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Albany, NY Posts: 8 |
lol I just realized I should probably elaborate on that... The car doesn't actually run at this point... it's been passed through a slew of different mechanics none of which are very commendable for their work, which is also where it received most of it's abuse. From what I can gather, the flywheel was replaced and the starter was then not reinstalled correctly which created more problems. when it went back in for that the ECU was either stolen or suspect so there is either a different one, or the original one sitting in the passengers seat. It's hard to gather an accurate history from people that don't know what an engine is. I'm a student (Network Administration) so my income isn't the highest which might make this project very slow going. Also I'm not the most automotive savvy one out there so prepare for stupid questions. | | | | | 04-13-2010, 03:44 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Georgia Posts: 148 |
