If I were to do a brake setup change, I don't think I'd do a "modern" setup. Just something that was lighter, with a firmer / more responsive...
They're essentially custom. The 8212 starts off very basic, and they are built up around the specs needed for the car (weight, motion ratio,...
Oh don't tempt me.
It's essentially 7 lbs. on each corner. There's probably a formula that will tell you whatever you want to hear, but I would think it's at least...
I had a feeling it was in that ballpark, but that's pretty dramatic. Interesting how much lighter the fronts are due to the shorter spring (not...
I received the shocks today. Until I do the swap and have a chance to weigh the factory shocks, here's what the new ones come in at: Front: 8 lb....
I use NGK BP7ES in my BBi. I haven't had any issues, but I've also not experimented much to see if there's a better choice.
In my case, I am reading via O2 sensors (one sensor per three cylinders). So I have a sensor for 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12. I use a BK synchrometer...
If you're basically 14.7 until high RPM / WOT, then that might explain the knock. Essentially, you have to push through a lean condition before...
By "idle air", I mean the air that gets through via the idle bypass screw. Assuming this is letting in more air (and A/F is stoich), then idle RPM...
I've experimented between 0 and 15 static, and I find a little less than 10 "feels" a little better as well. That's also impacted by base idle and...
Sure, no problem. When I do the swap, I'll weigh everything and post here. I've only handled the dry 8212 Konis, so I can't say just how much...
Quick update. The Eibach springs arrived at PSi and were installed. They ship out today, so I should be getting the full set next week. FYI, the...
Noise | Vibration | Harshness.
Thanks. I'm pretty happy with them so far. They're not too modern looking (I've seen a few of the BBLM running something similar). I seriously...
FWIW, I use the timing curve above on my '83 BBi (note the error in the english translation for static timing). My timing is digitally controlled...
Thanks! They've really grown on me. I could take some pictures, but I think it'll be hard to know if I got it right until I lower the car a bit....
Status update. The new shocks are almost finished. We're just waiting for springs (Eibach). I should be getting all shocks ready for install in...
I'm actually pretty impressed the cars have even 320hp considering the head flow, low compression, and such mild cams. They really went overboard...
Yeah, I should have gone with a similar solution. If I bring back the filters, I'll do something similar. A lot less complexity trying to balance...
