      Also, sorry I didn't go over ~1500rpm, low on battery power so wouldn't let me.


      Go here be happy!

        Well sorry guys, she's dead. I have a video from the second drive around the neighborhood before the coolant line burst and the fpr failed and flooded the engine. Good call whoever warned me that(can't remember your username). So it'll be a few months, if not the school year.

          What fuel pump and reg? Ive got a stock lift pump and a cheap 32 gph low pressure pump from smucks and it works ok to about 5.5k. Its no holley blue or walbro with a legit reg but it works well for what it is and cost anout $40.

              Thanks man :(


              Anyway, 8 days until I leave for college. I'm picking the coolant piece up tomorrow, bleeding the brakes sometimes before wednesday, and I just ordered a new Holley FPR, so that should be here wednesday. If all goes well I'll have a few days with her.

                Sounds like your E30 is rejecting the heart transplant...

                    Why can't you bring it to college? Not allowed to park on campus or something? :( Hopefully you'll get some use out of it before you leave!

                            Just drove the car to my friends house. Didn't even hit half throttle and was flying.
