So I posted on Bimmerforums and none of those guys has displayed any interest.. So I figured I'd make my way back to my old home. "THE IDEA"
KA24DE
Stage 2-3 cams
Bigger injectors
Standalone
Suspension work (coilovers and such)
Clean up the body
Clean up the engine bay
So I picked my car up from New York City and trailered her home to PA. The first time she moved in 8 years was me pushing her onto the trailer..
I soon tore into her to see what I was in for.. I knew it needed a new fuel pump.. That was easy, but when I climbed under the car and tapped on the gas tank and my finger went through.. I knew I was in trouble. I orders myself a Walbro 255 fuel pump and a 15 gal fuel cell. While waiting for my parts to come in I figured I'd help the ugly bumpers out.. At first I did the typical bumper tuck.. But it wasn't enough, I then took off the bumpers and cut the shocks up and welded them back together to get the fitment I wanted.
The fuel pump and fuel cell came in.. I soon installed them (no pics sorry). I then found out I needed a fuel distributor, picked one up from a guy on the forum.. Paid 60$ which is a lot better than the 1500$ they wanted for a new one ( At least they would have given a 30$ core charge ) with all of this replacing I also did the fuel lines, injectors and injectors seals..
Oh and I gave the wheels a little something
The other day I took her on a drive for the first time last Monday.. Just waiting on 2 AN fittings to come in and she'll be back on the road
Pssttt... I plan on restoring and running these on her
