Rust Containment

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 5:31 pm

I read in a FAQ/Tips that it is a good idea to treat the interior of the
doors with some "rustproofing" when the panels are off. There is some
pretty harmless surface rust in places inside the doors, should I sand sand
sand, or is there some miracle substance I can spray in there? Any advice
is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Funding is met through tuition fees and your generous donations.

In addition to our flyer T.C.A. Car Show, here is what happen last year at
our show. Last year and the previous years we called the show "The Motor
Transportation Show.

The 3rd annual  Temple Christian Academy Motor Transportation Show held on
June 8th 1996, coordinated by Marj and Tim Rusling, was a huge success.
The weather reports predicted rain all day Saturday, but God answered
their prayers for a beautiful day. Hundreds of people came to the show to
see 80 assembled vehicles. Children came and raced their Remote Controlled
Cars around a special track. Also included in Temple Christian Academy’s
Spring Fest were a  B. B. Q., a bake goods sale, a flea market and a
children’s fun fair.

Eight area dealers participated with displays and sponsorship. The car
dealers who participated were Central Chrysler, Courtesy Dodge Chrysler,
Gus Revenburg Pontiac / Buick, Windsor Mazda, Windsor Volkswagen, Eastway
Toyota, Saturn Saab Isuzu of Windsor and Windsor Jeep Eagle. All of the
dealers at the show gave door prizes including Sinasac Jeep Eagle and Dan
Kane Chev / Olds who had prior engagements. The Auto Trader and Dri Wash
also were sponsors and had a display each.

The special exhibits included were the Historic Vehicle Society of
Ontario, a Checker Cab, a West Coast Cobra, a Dodge Viper and the Minis of
Windsor Owners Group.

Michael Feasy of Windsor a first time participant at the show stated, "In
excess of  a hundred people were looking, gathering some information.
Possible sales for the future." Valerie Hebert of Windsor Volkswagen
responded, "It was a lot of fun. I would certainly come again. It gave us
a chance to show a lot of our new cars. I had a few people ask about
buying our new cars." About the vehicles in the competitions Ms. Hebert
exclaimed, " They were awesome!"

Christine Laskowski, a twelve year old seventh grader this year at Temple
Christian Academy, said "My favorite competing car at the 1996 Motor
Transportation Show is Tom Collings’ car. It’s purple and white and has
dice inside. It’s awesome. It’s really cool." Collings’ car was a 1956
Ford Victoria. Dreaming of the future Christine added, "When I turn 16,
I’d like to get a Dodge Viper or a Town and Country Mini Van." Another T.
C. A. student named Brandon Danby, now in grade nine, said that he also
would like the $80 000.00 Dodge Viper because "It looked good plus it went
fast." It’s a good thing the students of Temple Christian Academy are
getting the best education possible, because they are going to need it to
land a good job in the future with their rich tastes.

The Auto Trader, who sponsored ads in their magazine for the show, gave
out hundreds of their latest issues gratis. They also sponsored the
People’s Choice Award at the show as usual. The Auto Trader’s Dean Ataman
presented the People’s Choice Award to Frank and Del Lipischak of Belle
River. They’ve entered their 1955 Ford Thunder Bird every year since the
show began.

Purchase of a 91 318is

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 5:30 pm

I have a friend who is looking at a 91 318is with about 105,000 miles on
it.  It has a 5speed, power leather seats, traction control, sunroof, a/c,
etc.

What I would like to know, is what types of mechanical problems are these
cars known for, what specifically should he look for in examining the car,
and what would be a reasonable price for this car.

Thanks,

320i

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 5:30 pm

I have a 1980 320i and I am having fits. I was on the highway and
started losing power then finally just pulled off the road and died. Ahh
fuel filter you say! So did I! No go! I have run a wire to the fuel pump
and it works. But I can’t say that I hear it when I turn the engine
over. I am thinking maybe something electrical but cannot find the faq’s
to answer them. I read about a 15 plug diag. and a 20 plug. Mine is 9
plug. Help.

What is an 87 325e

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 5:29 pm

I bought my first BWM, an 87 325e 4 door last June and would
like to know more about it.

What does the "e" stand for?

How is this car different from the other 3 series of 87?
320i vs. 325e
325es vs. 325e

TIA

Advice on 320i?

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 5:29 pm

I may be acquiring a 1994 BMW 320i (Canadian/European model) with of
course…a 3.2 L V6 engine producing 150 hp and 148 torque…
I was wondering if anyone had any advice on performance parts or upgrades I
could try to give the car more pulling power and acceleration.

Any info would be appreciated.

Re: Oil Question

Jennifer:

        When I switched from regular oil to Red Line synthetic in a
140,000+ mile engine I had since new and which was previously very
tight, a number of oil leaks manifested themselves within a short period
of time.  A mechanic told me subsequently that the synthetic oil was
"thinner" and, therefore, more likely to leak than conventional oil. As
well, he indicated that synthetic oil removes the accretion that builds
up in areas within the engine crevices over time when using conventional
oil.  Once this is removed by the synthetic, the engine is more prone to
leakage.  This purported "cleaning" characteristic, combined with the
apparent thinner nature of the synthetic makes the result, I believe,
inevitable in an engine with some age.  

        I ended up spending several hundred dollars replacing
seals/gaskets that had previously functioned perfectly.  My opinion is
that synthetics are appropriate for relatively new engines, but will
cause problems in engines with some mileage on them.  Although someone
out there may argue that the age of my engine made it a candidate for
leaking anyway, I can tell you that I went from having absolutely no
leaks to having several at once after changing to synthetics.  Not only
was the oil more expensive, the costs associated with fixing the leaks
made the whole switch something I wish I had foregone.  I would put
synthetics in a new car, but not in an old one.  My engine has over
200,000 miles on it now and except for the short period in which I put
synthetic oil in the car, it made it that far with conventional oil.
Since your car is an ’87, based on my experience, I would recommend
using normal oil and changing it frequently.
