Do not think about reusing that ring.

Not even once.

AW is alpinweiß?

Yes, arrows point towards the front of the engine

Also the ground eyelet that goes to the m8 bolt on the front engine lift point.  It is a short wire that comes out of the end of the injector wiring box thing.

What is this racing thing you speak of? I understand the working on the car and never finishing thing quite well.

Literally bigger, and better is relative! 

Going to put some serious focus into the E, as I enjoy the shit out of that thing, and it deserves to have the crap beat out of it. That and something about having something with two screws sitting around for it...

I listened to the video while looking at the ad, and I just cannot see that car making that noise lol. 
Sounds cool though!

I feel like this is the perfect time to bring this up.

In short, harbor freight settled a class action lawsuit over misleading sales prices, dating back to April of 2011. Someone decided they were tired of the deceit and took action. Pretty impressive really. The deadline for turning in receipts is over now, but you were able to get 20% of the "You saved" amount on the receipt back in cash, or 30% by way of gift cards. You could use credit card statements showing purchases and get 10% back in cash without receipts. 

Not saying it isn't a common practice, as perceived value will always win out over true value, but it is interesting that Harbor Freight took such a blow for it.

Just tried to drive this to my work to mount the roof rack. Got about two blocks and a clunky clunk clunk started at the left front. Pulled over and whattyah know.. One of the studs was M.I.A. and the rest were all loose. 
Walked back two blocks, got tools, came back, fixed everything drove back and parked it. I knew that last drink the other night was 1 too many when I was installing the wheels lol. 
Im an idiot.

Congrats on the new addition! This is sure to get you invited to have a sleepover with earl

Nice purchase! What are your long term plans for it? Keep it stock but then decide to tear it completely apart and replace ever nut/bolt/seal/gasket? 

I have some black e30 sport seats that are taking up room in my garage...

Congrats on the purchase!  Does this mean we stop posting FS links to 318 ti's now?

I agree with this now, I did the first side after getting 2 hours of sleep so I was quite off my game. Doing the other side took about 30 min. 
Compared to the LCI ones it is quite a bit of work.

Now I am going to copy your build verbatim just to be your twin!

Neat.  Wish they would have shown some pics SINCE IT WAS HARD TO VERBALIZE!!!!  WTF?

Brave soul performing a compression test and posting it here. There's been bad juju all here regarding compression tests lately haha

This has got to be the longest introduction thread ever.

Finally took some pictures of the test fixture that I built for work. Too bad my phone was being a potato.
It's for testing a 6-up array of LED lighting boards. It's a basic functional test; just put 12v on it and make sure it lights up. Previously we were manually sticking meter leads in the connector on each board while holding a welding face mask over it so you didn't get blinded. This should be an improvement.
