So who's the idiot who threw out the charcoal canister? Had to fork out $90 for a new one. Itt's the only thing holding me back from finishing this. Tomorrow, all out work. Let's get her running before the month end. What do you say?

I'm genuinely excited for you!

I remember this feeling well. I did one of the first swaps in Sacramento (that I know of) back in 2010. It was euphoric every time I slammed the gas pedal down and jammed through the gears.

And then she fired right up

I spent the whole day putting everything back in and zip tying the hell out of the harness so it would fit in the M3 cover. My hands are battered and bruised, my back hurts like hell but I can't wipe off the silly grin off my face. Thanks to Dylan for helping me sort out stuff I couldn't figure out myself coz my fingers are too damn lazy to google it. Next stop, exhaust shop.

Because race car.

Waiting for the exhaust and air filter and then bleed the brakes and she will be ready for the road again! Woo hoo!

[bernzpeed]

this....



Exhaust down pipe... the one in the front does not fit. Need an inch cut off by the flange.

Off to the exhaust shop! I gotta figure if I will have it towed or brave the streets and see how it screams.

Update?

[bernzpeed]

Bled the brakes and put a new brake light switch. Drove it to exhaust shop and brakes stuck. Had it towed to my brother's shop for him to deal with it.

Unfortunately didn't make it to the Berkeley Marina Meet.
