YoungCR Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm thinking I might need a dme as everything else on the ignition was replaced checked out electrically. Or I could have a bad ref/speed sensors. Either way I have no spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Finally got the new dme in the mail, plugged it in and she fired up instantly! Could not be happier now I just have a couple things to wrap up along with the interior and I should be driving a BMW again next week! mkoepp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 You have tire hatred issues...^ Not tire hatred issues, it's a forum thing. On the note of spinning tires, coming home today I was rounding a corner in 3rd at about 45mph(out in the country on a back road. Gave it a bit of gas to get back up to speed, ass end kicked out so goddamn hard. I got so giddy with glee. An then I got sad really fucking fast. Cop was behind me with his lights on. I didn't even try to drift. Oh well. Under $200 can't complain! YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Happy New Year, so here is a long overdue update to my build thread! I never took pics/posted when I threw the interior in but here is a small update on whats going on with the car. Since my brother (BMWben) needed a vehicle to drive while he was on winter break from school and I was gonna be driving to Madison 6 times in two weeks I got the car finally registered and started driving it so I could save some money on fuel. The car as it was sat. Scored a set of 15" Blizzaks at work so I threw them on the E34 Style 5's. The wheels need to be straightened a little bit as I had a bead leak on one, but otherwise look great on the car! Replaced the bulb that was broken in the accident, here is the damage to the core support and headlight bucket Interior shot, car still has the llama carpet in (actually has two carpets??) which will be switched out All ready to go! First fill up! Can't remember the last time I had the pump stop at $35!! And in customary wibimmers fashion I have a rage drifting video (slow mo rage drift, its an eta give me a break)IMG_0042.mp4 This was all from December 14th, I drove the car to Beloit the next morning with no issues until last week I lost one of the exhaust clamps fell off. While on my very noisy drive to Madison the car popped out of 5th gear and I couldn't get it back into anything but 4th, something must have rattled apart in the shifter linkage. Keep in mind I put a whole $15 in misc. bolts from the hardware store to get this thing driving, reused worn shifter/clutch etc. But the good news is I finally have a shop space!! I towed the car up there Sunday night and once I move all my parts/tools up there and get settled in I'll start disassembling the car so I can put in a new clutch. I'll pull the engine/trans out so I can work on the front end (looking at sourcing a parts car for panels and core support). Depending on how fast progress goes I'll put work into the interior. My plan is to have Sunday be "shop day" as I'll always have something to do between the two cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
