Haha do it man. Amp bypass, smoked smileys and radio installed. Come say what's up at sowo if you see me, heading down tomorrow morning.

The black one is so awesome, its everything I wanna do with mine except different wheels.

Those must be the most perfect e30s I've seen in my lifetime! Many here have trouble getting just one car to look even slightly as good as yours and then there is you... Having two perfect cars, both in flawless condition and spot on stance! I can't even find words to describe how jealous am I

Wow thank you haha, I appreciate it. They're not perfect at all haha, but for their age they're in pretty good shape.

Enjoying how youre slowly improving things. I might have missed it, but what rear shocks are you using? Also, did you install the PS delete? If so, how are you liking it?

Yeah I like the PS delete, the car feels really good with it, I definitely don't miss p/s at all. I have a 360mm Nardi and thats pretty big so it doesn't bother me at all.

+1 also interested in what rear shocks you are running

Im running Bilstein Sports in the rear.

Tomorrow ill be bypassing the factory amp as it took a shit today. I have a new pioneer head unit already installed, just need to bypass the amp, run a few new wires to the rear of the car and ill be back in business.

My alternator also sounds like a supercharger so I can tell its on its way out. Gonna go to the junkyard tomorrow and see if I can grab another, just worried about it seizing up on the long drive to sowo.

Okay so heres some updates. Got the car running/driving. Ran like shit but it ran haha, drove it to a meet a few hours away. It rained, a lot.



Cracked a barrel on one of the RS's on the way home, so I sourced another, split/resealed.



Fixed that, went and got some goodies. Euro 3.5" MAF, Bimmerworld intake boot, fuel rail beauty cover



Stock maf vs. euro and my sweet autozone cone filter



Installed the fuel rail cover, cut off useless brackets in the bay, grinded down and touched up with some paint



Installed Euro maf/boot, relocated the main ground strap and diag connector to behind the harness cover on the passenger side for a cleaner look



Exhaust shot, still needs a little work but for now its there. Raceland headers, Y-pipe to a single 2.5" pipe, Vibrant ultra-quiet resonator, y-pipe, 2 2" pipes out the valence which will be changed to 2.5", (slight mishap with the exhaust shop). And rear section needs tucked a little more. But it sounds great. Can also see the trans brace.



Im cheap so I decided against paying 60$ for a 318i bracket to mount the 413 red label, so I gutted the M20 ecu from its case and stuffed the red label 413 inside. Mounts right in the factory location, and was free



The real reason why the car was running like shit. Stock chip in the red label 413 is meant to run 17lb injectors, stock S52 injectors are 21.5lbs, so I ordered a TMS chip. I read back and forth reviews between TRM and TMS. I havent compared the two but I have noticed like people said, the TMS chip is a bit rich up top. No biggie.



And a shot of the vert to to end this update. Both cars are running great and im enjoying both. I leave for SoWo Wednesday so if youre going to be down there make sure to come up and say hi!
