I had a Jetta that had idle problems and low power when it was rainy. After trying to figure out the problem for a month, I took it to a dealer. The tech took a spray bottle and misted the plug...

S14 swaps are popular in the 2002's, so I don't see why an M42 wouldn't be comparable, not to mention way cheaper. There is (was?) a guy that showed up occasionally on the Roadfly board who did the...

I think it would be a pretty simple swap to the later engine and controls. Don't take my word for it, but it seems that I read somewhere (I think it was on the E30 sport forums) that the M44 has a...

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with mine. For the most part, the differences between a 325 and a 318is can come down to the better driver.

The 318is' come standard with the shadowline trim, although I know of a few people that have painted theirs with good results. The key is to use self etching primer (available at body shop...
