Cleaned up the mtech trim I got from a donor car (still has some parts left on it). Looks better now. Probably install today.

Yesterday finally did some work on the car. I managed to replace the intake boots, air filter, air intake gasket and injectors. The injectors were especially bad. I purchased rebuilt injectors from BMWstone. I definitely recommend going through them!



I still need to do the fuel filter, but I couldn't get the nut holding the bracket off. Far too rotted out. I also need a new fuel filter cover plate, as mine was trashed.



Took it for a long drive. Definitely driving better but it's time to address suspension, bushings and clutch.



Also this Orange compact parked next to me the other day. If anyone knows the owner (here in Arizona) I'd love to know!

No pictures, but recap over the last few days. After doing the injectors I was leaking fuel real bad out of the return line off the fuel rail. Turns out I needed those tiny o-rings there, but I don't remember seeing them when we pulled the rail. Replaced those and no more leak.

Today I did a last minute oil change. I was over due anyways (I know, I know) but I had to get it done before driving out of town.

Last but not least, I ordered a full Condor Speed Shop solid bushing kit. About to start prepping for Bimmerfest, so along with a clutch, coilovers and a few other goodies, those will be going on.

Fixed a dumb engine swap error.

When I swapped in a M44 into a 97 (Blanca) I have, I left one of the old exhaust manifold gaskets for cyl 3&4 and installed two new gaskets, one on top of the old one. Hence, I had an exhaust leak in Cyl 2. All fixed now. I was thinking I had a cracked exhaust manifold, so I guess it worked out OK. Lesson: STOP when you are exhausted and it's dark an you can't see the #$+&%^ original gasket.

Washed Blanca and Tiny, installed a set of wheel locks on Blanca and prepped to swap out an oil pan tomorrow.

Default What did you do to your car today? v.2015

No oil pan swap today, I didn't have a profile pan gasket. I guess a M62tu gasket wouldn't work. Anyway, pulled and cleaned the replacement pan.







I also could hear the muffler or resonator pipe had a hole, so I pulled a spare Supersprint I had in storage.







The OEM catback had a split along the seam of the pipe. Really sounded terrible.









Purrs now. I just need to run it around for awhile before I bring it in for SMOG.







Just working down the list for this TI. SMOG this week, Oil pan and suspension next weekend.



Fixed the window on my Wife's TI and reattached stanchions on two drivers door panels.



All of the cars need something done just now, so, just working through each car.

Didn't do it all today day but in the last 10 days: fixed passenger window regulator, driver side seat back, sun roof button, and replaced starter. Trying to figure out central locking right now.

This weekend I installed a new JVC Bluetooth head unit. Nice to have a working display now and a radio that doesn't cut out when I hit a bump.

So I picked up a Euro three spoke wheel. I immediately plastidipped the chrome trim piece black to clean up the look. Got a quote to rewrap it in alcantara with m-color stitching. So that'll be sent out fairly soon.



Also picked up some M3 sedan mirrors. They're Boston green unfortunately, so I ordered a can of color matched Ascotgrun. They'll get resprayed and put on my car soon.



Still struggling to find the source of the hesitation. Still need to do fuel filter but the bolt clamping the old one in is rusted to the point where I can't remove it. Also struggling with the ASC kicking on and staying on. It used to be on 100% of the time before the injectors, now it comes on after 10min of driving or so.

This weekend the car is going up on jackstands for the bushings/clutch and some other little things. Coilovers will not be in on time to do it all at once, but they aren't too difficult to install.

I will. The nitrous isn't 100% hooked up yet. I had some setbacks with the twin charged motor I'm building. Still waiting to hear if I have found a good head and waiting to get the Block back from the machine shop. So I got tired of driving the car without the supercharger, love the gas mileage, but missing my power. I get it down the two nitro shots, the single fogger is at about a 75 shot, and the direct port kit I move down to about 150- 175 shot. Hopefully that will still be safe to run on the stock motor. But I guess I'll find out

Picked up an E28 m5 3.45 LSD today. PO already put on an E30 diff cover, and an AKG bushing. He also resealed it and put in fresh oil, so it saves me a bit of work there. But I'm likely taking out the bushing and putting in my condor just to have everything matching.
