I'm in town for about a month during summer and 30th is the right day for me.

a design that BMW hasnt changed since the 70s. i'm honestly surprised they didnt muck it up with some techno-wizardry sensor apparatus that needs coding.
That gave me a horribly great idea. They should put a sensor inside the caliper that measures the extension of the piston. So you have to replace or rebuild the caliper when it fails. Also it will need a module too control the inputs because it's tied into the abs system.

You can put some of the wheel studs in and put a bar in between them to stop it from moving. If the impact doesn't work for whatever reason.

I feel like that's a high price for the mileage? It looks to be in good shape fore what it is though
It was either owned by an enthusiast or murder judging by the stains in the back. I'd assume it has a decent amount of new components. Subframe bushings are probably due. If you could get it to 500,000 miles bmw might give you one of their silly awards.

Pretty good one

265s, put them in the front. Interested to see how the pipe looks all welded up. Now you won't have to run the quad double double deep intercooler the n54ish guys are running.
I would say make a jig for the pipe and sell them but the stuff you got rid of wouldn't be considered plug and play for the home gamers.
keep it up

After about 1000 miles this year I had my first mechanical issue.
Had it cranked up to 16 psi due to unfriendly boost air. I did a 1st gear launch and heard a little pop and saw black pieces skipping down the road behind me.
Radiator is ok one decent dent but no drips, will confirm tomorrow.
It appears that the engine torqued too much and caught the shroud and blew up, not the classic fan explosion.
time to install the electric fan I bought over a year ago

Looking good

"I've never seen that happen before" is the famous phrase that has unwillingly attached itself to me. Jesse at Late Model Throttle said the same thing and he can tune LS motors in his sleep. No clue.
That is unfortunate. I Recently just spent 1400 on an ecu so I feel your pain.
So this means it's going to be on the dyno again?
-
Nice, let me know when there is a job opening.
-
Is there a reason for the ecu locking out? I've never ls'd before.

I then spent the next two hours trying to make the hard lines from the tee to the master. That line will be pretty short and turned out to be an absolute pain as I was using steel line, I gave up after a couple failed attempts. I will be picking up some nicopp line to try again as it seems to be much easier to work with. I will probably also re-do the line from the front right caliper to the tee as it could be cleaner.
I have probably 5-10 feet of line laying around so you can get this done for the picnic

They have some advantages over helicopters, one being flight time and a slightly higher speed but in the end it doesn't have the ability to get right in the meat of her. Are there really that many accidents on the interstate?

That really blows. Check with the local scrap yards. Odds are some junkie scrapped them.
That's what happened because they moved tools and stuff out of the storage unit but just took rims. The set with the drags was the only thing worth much.
I went to the junkyards but I think they would rather turn a blind eye then loose out on money and deal with the police.
thanks everyone for your condolences

There is no reason to run a whole bunch of intercooler piping when the intake is right there. You would just be robbing power. In turbo cars it makes sense because the exhaust is on the opposite side of the intake so you have to run the piping anyways so fmic air to air, yeah.
Manufactures like to use air to water coolers because they take up less space in a way. You don't have a giant fmic to fit under a bumper cover. And they have more parts so more money for the dealer when they fail. These system also can only do so good if you are doing pull after pull unless you have it plumbed to your ac system or 10 gallon ice tank.
Both of these also make more restrictions for the intake because you have a core for them to go through, turbulent air ,restriction, blah blah blah. No I am not drunk.
The 1 stage kit you can only have come on at one boost setting but you can tee off the line to put 2 nozzles in. A nozzle before the blower is ideal because it creates a seal around the fins rotors whatever you got. Creating that extra .0002 psi, something to do with it being compressed, moving it fast to evaporate, and its cooling the unit creating the boost down also. Some say this damages the turbine, there is no evidence supporting this. There is evidence however that the meth will eat away at the coating on certain rotors/screws.
When you tune it make sure you have a failsafe for the meth if it stops, weather it be a spark cut or you do your tuning without it then turn it on. Because running a tune created with meth can be as aggressive as race gas but if it stops then you're just on pump gas with a crap load of timing.
everything on the internet about meth can be found above by this guy who wasted his life typing it. Sorry if you read all that

Thought about it. That’s a lot of pipe routing to put it next to the headers
Get @patsbimmer1 to get you a price on this.

I put together my own following this http://www.turbomirage.com/water there is different shuflo pumps you can use then what he has that are cheaper they just take up more space. I can get you the hook up on the lines for it and push in style fittings. The hobbs switch from Napa you can get else where for way cheaper than $30. Depending on what kind of oil pressure switch you can use them. Don't buy the wash rack nozzles he suggests just get some name brand ones that have R&D.
Is it worth doing it yourself? If you are like me and have all the stuff readily accessible at low cost and are the biggest Jew around, offense, then yes.
If you can get one under $300, then do it if you just want an easy install that's done in a couple of hours.

I drove it a little bit but the tie rods are making quite the racket now and I dont want to ovalize the mounting holes before I install the tie rods. So I wait....
If this angle kit doesn't work I'm suing you for the 45 dollars.
24 minutes ago, Jdesign said:In the meantime I REALLY REALLY would like to have functioning windows. I think My plan will be to run a momentary 6pin 3 position toggle switch on each door, as the motors and doors have been swapped around and nothing is compatible anymore. if anyone has done a door swap from a late to early model E36, please chime in if its easy to convert. Otherwise Im hard-wiring some Steampunk Phuturistic one the door so I can relive my self of swampassness.
I remember reading a post awhile back on bimmerfest about a guy trying too do it. He had both full doors, @Early and late, and swapped harness, spliced wiring and in the end he bought the early model door that was right.
Saw a video of a guy who had the motor spliced into a 2 prong extension cord male end and the female end spliced to power and ground so when you flip it over and plug it in you reverse the polarity so too speak. Not sure if that's the way you want to go but thought it was pretty clever.

Guarantee it's the maf, all obd1 m5x cars I've owned the mafs went bad then the second hand ones didn't last long. I have one from Napa that runs the car alright but will randomly die at idle. Have an o2 sensor if swapping it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling.

Don't really like the car but would be a good investment if you didn't drive it and had climate controlled storage.
