'91 318is, 16V swap.

[FunfGan]

So a few minor things.


Started redoing/ cleaning up/ de-ratchitizing the interior wiring for the fan, ignition/ starter, interior lights and fog lights.











The next day I decided to rewire up my Hellas, start experimenting with ways to tuck wires and installing another set of fogs. Because rallycar. When summer comes I will be using a universal fusebox and creating my own wiring harness, as I have about 30lbs of wiring that currently has no function.

So I took my car apart in my college parking lot. On a visitation day :)













It rained, so I went sliding.










I <3 low oil pans(not).










I'll have some large updates and video come friday. Until then enjoy some random pictures of my car.

You're running the high pressure electric pump with a carb?

Most people are. It's fine as long as you run a quality fpr with a return line. That's where I was an idiot before, I ran an Fpr with no return line so it eventually failed.

I need to get rolling on mine so I can join the club! Looks good man, one of my favorite e30's.

Yes you do! And thanks man :oops:

Where do you have the exhaust routed?

If we imagined for a second that I had an exhaust to route...

nice change on the carb. What are you running for your fuel pump?

Stock pump, Holley FPR with a return line.

I get txts from people across campus telling me to be quiet hahahah. It's a fun experience, working on your car in your school parking lot. I think everyone needs to experience it in their lifetime haha.

Hahaha I love that you have this up at school. It's amazing the odd looks 325ix and I get working on our cars in the parking lot... I can't even imagine a 302's E30 hahaha

Sorry bud, but hopefully some of that reading helped you!





Got some updates!

My old carb was complete crap and the floats were starting to fail on me, it had no choke, etc etc. So I got a new 650cfm Holley double pumper with manual choke and threw it on.












Then I did an oil change and drove up to, around, and back from Ocean City MD. About 700 miles total.
My skid plate has seen better days.















Took some pics while I was up there.













Then I drove 400 Miles up to school in Pittsburgh.

Hunted down a crew of Prius drivers









Finally made it, then cleaned her up(~1500 worth of salt and road grime can take it's toll) and made a run to Wally world for some extra oil.











Finally wired the backlights for my crappy, external gauges up.








And today I wired my Hellas back up and bought some new "off-road extreme" fog lights.










Then a weak attempt at silly things.
