Yeah, I wouldn't argue with that but my wife's a big fan. I admit that I think her current S580 is a really nice car and I enjoy driving it but...
"For exemple if I decide to drive from Quebec to Florida I'd use the new Vette. I would not do that with the 328 even if the car can do it and...
Trade for a Corvette? Yes... for a '64-'65 Sting Ray coupe! ;) A lot of this stuff is about what makes you feel good driving. I bought a new...
I wonder if the difference in spray angle between the steel/brass injectors MIGHT also include a difference in atomization of the fuel. The more...
Torque plates are great and we used them for all engine builds. They will ensure the bores remain perfectly round after cylinder wall work. Some...
The old shade tree way of "adjusting" for octane was to advance the timing until it pinged and back off two degrees. FWIW, on conventional...
FWIW, I lived in Germany for 4 years when I was much, MUCH younger and it was easy to maintain 130-140 MPH for lengthy periods on the autobahn. I...
I should have added this to my previous message: Re what to check... Secondary wires with old/poor insulation can short/ground on the...
Some years ago we had the same symptoms with a vehicle that would cut out on hard left turns - faulty coil. No cutting out on "normal" left...
"On my 83 308 the ignition key only fits the ignition. The smaller key fits the two doors and fuel filler louver." Same on my 89 328. Sometimes...
Ah, OK...I assumed it was saying there was power AT the antenna motor which would have been convenient for hooking up the camera.
Another update: on post #9 of this thread it was stated, "The antenna has a constant live feed" Perhaps on other/earlier 3x8's but it does not...
Yes there is a nearby ignition-on 12v power source. But, as I said earlier, that means there would be a 20-25 second delay from the time you turn...
The camera draws 5.6 mA on standby. The Ferrari clock on my 328 draws 4 mA so a total of around 10mA (.01A) would be the draw on the battery in...
"Why not. Get power from the backup light you select reverse the camera will get power" It requires 20-30 seconds for the camera/phone to link...
Really? That would be perfect for the mounting method I'm going to use! I ASSumed that the antenna only received power when the raise/lower...
Oops... to avoid any confusion, in my earlier post I mentioned one possibility for power was to pick up 12VDC from "the Digiplex." Of course, my...
Accidentally attached too many pics, sorry! Found another way - attaching to the license plate bracket but without the large mount. The little...
Two options pictured below. In the first, the "license plate" camera could have a 12V 'ignition-on' wire from the Digiplex feed. The mount...
It could. of course be an electrical issue with the sensor/gauge. Low coolant level can also do that; I hope it is one of those two. But my first...
