Sina's BMW 318i: Project Re-Shell & Beyond! (Starting Page 46)

[Balleristic31]

Car is all ready for the trip up to Lake Tahoe!
The new Bilstein Sports actually raised the car up a tiny bit in the front.
Car feels so nice over shitty roads, and with the skid plate, I have a little bit more peace of mind. I really cannot believe how much new struts vs. the original busted struts help. I'm blown away.

I told you

[freeride53]

^Yes dude, so fucking satisfied right now. Drove the 200+ miles home earlier, so comfortable... (despite being sunburned, sore as funk, and scratched up)

[Balleristic31]

btw dp u have the m42 coding plug for ur 13 button?

[freeride53]

I got my 13 button out of a 318is..if that matters

[Balleristic31]

Are u serious?? Where did u get that?

[freeride53]

Pick und pull

[Balleristic31]

I didnt even think 318s ever came with them..

[freeride53]

Yeah I had no idea. I just grabbed that off the specific car, along with a center cap, door glovebox parts, and the 318is badge :D. It was fresh in the yard! (then it got thrased by the next time I visited the yard)

[freeride53]

My interior is like 70% gutted. Gutting the shit out of it.

[freeride53]

Seats are out, ski pass is broken through, under-dash is off, insulation is out, antenna to stereo cable is out, harness is taken apart.

[freeride53]

Well after over a year of having my premium speakers and the blaupunkt stereo, I am finally going to have some bass. Rewiring the car as I speak, and putting my 2 10" JL's in the trunk with the amp. Most likely, my new antenna will arrive from Tejas today, so everything will be in!

However, my passenger seat slider is all screwed up. The lever for track-lock has a long pin that goes across from one track to the otherside, and it is not pulling the lock on the opposite side up. Therefore, when I bolt the seat down, the seat does not slide right. It gets stuck, and the seat sits crooked. I don't know wtf to do.

[freeride53]

Box is in! RCA wired, but I didn't need 17 FEET of power and ground wiring.

when you come to ATL?

Nice car btw, I love me some 4 door

[freeride53]

Thanks dude. I'm not sure yet, I just promised a friend that I'll visit him.
I go to school down in Socal, but I have family in Memphis, so I figure I'd go to ATL while I'm in that region.

[freeride53]

So, I posted a thread in the main section about what happened a few hours ago.
A bunch of wires somehow fell down, and and got caught around my steering column..now I'm sitting looking at sections of torn wires sitting on my floor mat.
One connector had come out, and the car was not starting...but I caught that, and fixed it.
Now, all i've seen so far is that my hazard, and left/right blinkers will not come on.
