Fantastic! Love the wheels!

Thank you!

Nice project, and great find! Judging from the pics, I assume you are at Miramar? Maybe I will see you around out there (I'm the only C43 on base or really just about anywhere around here that I know of)

[MR E30 325is]

I am on Miramar, look forward to possibly running into you in the future.

This weekend is going to be a very very good one.

I promise lots of super sweet updates, which will be super cool to gossip with your friends about.

Anyways, I have been on a much needed vacation with my gf for the past week, so I apologize for the lack of updates. Just been driving the absolute life out of the E30 every chance I get.

I did pinpoint my oil leak, and when I do my next oil change I will get a new o ring and fix it once and for all.

Toodles! Haha

Hey! Thanks for the plug!

BTW - Was that package too much of a bitch to open? Not sure if those are annoying or not?

[MR E30 325is]

No, it wasnt bad at all George. I would rather have it be too difficult, than too easy!

Just read through the build, nice project so far

[MR E30 325is]

I know I promised some updates, but funds had me at a standstill for a while.

It should happen this weekend. I will keep you all posted.

I promised a powerful and rewarding update, so thanks for sticking around.

To make a long story short, I came across an outstanding deal from a best friend because he wants to step things up on his end. So now its time to step things up on my end.

Step one is completed. The pieces have been removed, and carefully stowed away to be cleaned and checked.

Step two was completed last friday. A call was made to TRM for a custom tune, and my bank account was subsequently drained. But it was all worth it.

Because in the end, I will thoroughly enjoy all the money and time spent into this next step in my E30 addiction.

The install begins tomorrow. Stay tuned for more.

*Drum roll please!!!*






Nothing will stop this E30, apart from a wall or a tree, but I will definitely stay away from the last two.

Im glad I get to witness this build in person!

Cant wait to see it again with this installed!

[Spaz]

you're a dink.

The install begins!!!

And the tune is only two days away. Hopefully I can have it all put back together by then!

Its going together very well, and the installation guide I got a copy of from AA is a helpful tool in ensuring that I put it all back together correctly.

I have the supercharger all bolted up, and the fuel injectors installed.

I am worried about the intercooler. Its going to be fun trying to find a place for it to stay. I might have to cut the valance or something, hopefully I can figure it out tomorrow after work.

Heres a couple of pictures that I snapped quickly.





Wish me luck, tomorrow is oil lines, and intercooler tubing!

When you blow your motor up, Dont forget to sell me your supercharger setup.

:)

[MR E30 325is]

Hahaha its only pushing 7 psi, and I pulled it off of a completely stock S52 that it powered for 8 thousand miles or so, and it had zero problems, and still runs fine after removal.

I am not worried. But I am excited. Very very excited!
