regular old m60 swap

[dothadance]

Worked on my car on Tuesday. Super frustrating partially satisfying. Went to address my coolant leak on my rear crossover. Found my vacuum cap on my brake booster nipple on the back cover had cracked. So that's good news and helps explain the running rough issue. But as I was taking the coolant pipe out one of the bolt hole tabs snapped off. Glad it didn't happen when I put it back on, and I'm glad I live down the street from a badass shop. My car is located at my dad's apartments and he's moving next weekend. So shits gotta move... Preferably on its own.

Got a text from my brother with this picture



Wtf man? There's a pos e34 8 spaces away from me that's been there for 5 years now, why me? Moved my car down the parking lot to a higher traffic area instead of out in the open. so hopefully they don't bug me again.

Check fuel pressure, and make sure you got all the vacuum lines capped.

Well my problem is she used to run, but after the rain messed up my ecu and my buying a new one, it still doesn't run. Thanks for reminding me to check my fuel pressure. I've been in a bit of a daze the past couple weeks. Gonna get that checked out this weekend. But I have a hunch that I bought a bad ecu.


Edit: also, I have all my vacuum holes capped.

she's fires up!... kind of. she dies as soon as i let go of the starter, and reving it doesn't help. time to stick my nose in some books.

i didn't realize you are in austin. i have been chilling at the airport holiday inn for the last 2 days. could have helped you work on it a little bit.

Ha, that would've been nice. I've definitely been slacking lately, but my procrastination has reached its limit. I need to drive this bitch.

Decided to tow it to my dad's.



My new apartment parking lot is too hilly. Also, the amount of work I've done in that parking lot is crazy, so I know they don't care.

This guy is my neighbor


And I have a badass bmw shop down the street from me. Honestly if money was a little more free flowing I'd have just towed my car there. They have a bunch of 02's an isetta and an m1. The owner just sold off all of his goodies (including the car above) like an s54 swapped e30 m3, s14 swapped baur 02, 02 art car, a bunch of crazy shit like that.

We'll see how motivated I am to work on my car this week. I'm just super glad I don't have to worry about it getting towed anymore.

Money situation is back on track if only for a while. But I'm out of the hole and back in the green. That's all for now, more updates in a week or so
