        Thanks, I get so stoked being able to walk outside and see it now. I've driven it around the block about once an hour since it came home. Waiting for my fans to come in before I drive it farther. Also gotta figure out how to bleed this coolant system somehow..

        e28 guys are not much into the engine bay shaving, so I had to wing it. I just kinda got rid of everything I don't need from the bay. (Cruise control, fuel canister, wiper fluid) and relocated everything else like the fusebox and coolant reservoir. Tucked wires into the fender, and removed most that I didn't need.












        I need to paint my fender bad. Also get it exhausted.

                  Yeah, I tried searching didnt find any info. Are you still using the stock ecu? Trying to figure out what Smog nonsense I can get rid of with out causing problems. but I just dont know enough about the engines/electronics.

                  PS: Why do you want it to get it so tired?

                            • Update:

                              Went to Stancewars, that was fun.


                              Didn't drive my car, that sucked.

                              Got home and my friend, soon to be roomate, bought a Manual 190e


                              It's a real pile. Runs good I guess though.


                              Came with a wing, nbd



                              I drove my car to get the exhaust welded back on, but it cost too much so hopefully tomorrow I can get it done at a much more sketchy shop that I won't have to trade so much green paper for.


                              And then got to installing my electric fans. Hooked them up to the rad switch, but it never really turned them on, so I installed a switch instead.






                              They work great.




                              I've been driving it alot, it's really loud. Today the shift linkage came off, but it wasn't too bad, I just had to jack the car up and slid it back in it's hole. I need to find the locking pin. Halfassing that didn't pay off.


                              Also I put the hood on, and got it stuck. I routed the wire through the valance but no matter how hard I pull it won't open...so I'm going to have to manually figure out how to open it.




                              Also I destroyed a speed bump with my wife's Jetta.


                              And caught a 7 toed cat to show c-hutchinson.
