    What pissed me off the most is this neighbor that came by to see what was going on and he had the nerve to say "does this mean you're still going to work on the car? Because its really loud and its really been bothering me" i told him to get out of my face and that he was the least of my concerns right now.

        Thanks for all the kind words fellas.

        Inspected a bit more to see if there was anymore damage. Injector harness, Tie rod boots are melted, need a new hood, valve cover, intake manifold, and throttle cable/cruise control cable. Also a couple of hoses were melted. Overall its not too bad of damage. could have been a lot worse.

            The e30 Gods have spoken, reborn as a 24v maybe? Glad you're okay and no serious damage was done.

              i have an extra injector harness ( i think)
              i have an extra tie rod boot
              you dont need a new intake manifold
              you dont need a new valve cover, but i do have an extra
              i have new hoses if u want to but them

              buy injector fuel line and replace those.
              get a new throttle cable from BMW ~$15
              you are sol on the cruise control tho.
              Much wow

                All these fires happening in e30's makes me want to go get a fire extinguisher like all the ricers in their civics.

                  Always replace your fuel lines.

                  I keep a fire extinguisher in my car , last thing on planet earth I want to happen to my car is to have it burst into flames .

                    After searching through spare parts and hitting up some friends i found a few things..

                    I ended up having a harness
                    Got a tie rod boot from my friend
                    Had a Throttle cable
                    Might just delete cruise control anyways


                    And for the intake manifold and valve cover, i know i dont need to get replacements, but im just going to hate to look at the melted paint all the time..

                    All thats left is gettin a hood, replacement fuel lines, And maybe a rebuild kit for the injectors.

                    Oh and im probably going to need a new fuel rail.
