They stick up and out more than I'd like but I ain't sweatin' it.

Throttle cable is installed as well!

Made a simple/crude brake reservoir bracket out of some spare metal that will bolt to my strut tower. I think my power steering resi used to bolt there.


Accidentally bought the wrong size bolts so I couldn't install it together. Until tomorrow.

Tubing is in and belt is on! 7pk 1388 worked like a charm for a non power steering setup 😎


4 45*

4 180* and 16 feet total of straight 2.25.

Exhaust tubing and belt should be in tomorrow and Friday.

Keep it going! You are working quickly now!

My co-worker has never seen my car and he just put his 2 weeks in, so I told him I would drive my car to work before his last day so he could see it. Open headers or not...
Tonight's fun

One man job
And here's some from yesterday's work

more work done last night after work. shifter assembly is all together, driveshaft is fully bolted back together, the heatsheild is back on, and i bolted my clutch hose to the slave. the shift arm i used is slightly off center, but in an effort to drive my car asap its no big deal. also my z4 shifter contacts my driveshaft on certain shifts, so i can either buy another shift selector or when i go to modify the carrier arm somehow lift the pivot cup. next up is tranny fluid flush. slowly chipping away

Got some stuff done today before work. 88* Fan switch and 85* thermostat installed. Tensioner pulley bolted on. I tried to get the belt too but the person at oreillys didn't understand that even though the belt I needed wasn't for a bmw it was still the correct belt. And my alternator is all wired in. Slowly crossing stuff off the list. There should also be a few 180* bends in the mail for me to start my exhaust work

Nice! Glad you got this figured out, now get it fired up!

The ETM should make it easier to figure out what the other ring connectors go to as well if you haven't figured them out yet.

alright think i got this under control.
the white cap does in fact seem to be pictured as the black dot. so that would mean the part i'm missing is the red wire i have highlighted in the orange box (the wire that was snipped from my cap), that was originally connected to the x6400 B+ junction, which i will now attach to the junction block on the firewall. bleh, i need to buy more wire.

[dothadance]

ugh i hate the etm. ill give it a whirl

[jpod999]

Pull up the ETM and trace it out. It takes a little while to figure out what everything you are looking at in the ETM means but once you do it should make figuring this out easier. That white cap you are holding in the above picture I think is shown as a black dot in the ETM.
