    318ix

    So, I bought an '88 2-door ix for $360. Put a good chunk of money getting it ready to go, had fuel, spark, etc, but wouldn't run. A friend offered to trade me a running '91 318i for it, so I agreed as long as I could take the projectors along with me. :p

    EDIT: Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. I bought an 88 IX. Made this thread: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=186664 then this thread: http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=188526 then got fed up with it and traded it for this 318. Saved a couple parts off the IX and put it onto the 318, therefore I created my new car. Decided to call it a 318ix for fun.

    This will be my DD as I'm caging my prerunner truck. Short term plans are for some sway bars, lowering springs, and APEX ARC-8 17x8" ET25's. Possibly a full leather interior... we'll see. As you all know, threads suck without pictures, so here it goes. (thanks goes to Robby for the pictures.)




    And the mascot dog, Broady:

    And the Wheel/tire combo I'm going for:

          Oh cool, I can't wait to see your caged eta at the track again.

          I was the big hispanic dude that shook your hand, while you and your buddy where behind the bleachers tightening up that car.

          This looks like another good project and oh how much for the mascot dog shipped?

                  Well, it's a combination of a 318i and a 325ix. It could be called a hybrid thingamabobber.

                  On a side note, anyone have a fuel pump for my car? It just died today. Pulled it out of the tank and it bench tested bad. :(

                  Probably be back out there in a month with a rattle can paint job. For the dog, I'll trade a 318i fuel pump... $160 value!

                    Got a fuel pump in it out of a junkyard 318is and replaced my K5 blower relay so I have AC controls. Just have to replace the resistor (only have 0/4 fan settings).

                    Anyone know why I would have a cold start issue? Symptoms:
                    Only happens when motor is below regular operating temp
                    Idle drops to the verge of dying and has 0 power.
                    ICV is good (replaced with a working unit)
                    Starts running good after about 1-2 min or idling. After that, it runs awesome.

                            projectors, HIDs, grilles, cluster parts, etc. Just lots of little odds and ends.
