You're welcome for the pic, fucker.

fuel pump took a shit on HWY 16 last night.. 1 mile after the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (thank god)

I troubleshooted on side of the road, and with enough mallet-hitting I limped it off to the next exit. TRE pump ordered and I will take pics of the install this weekend! only $78

should make this offroad for when you need to retrieve stuff thrown into the bushes.

fuel filter fixed
fuel pump replaced (went with a "high flow fuel" unit, which is identical to TRE. I am highly impressed, and the company has great customer service and a lifetime warranty!)

My set of wheels that had a "bad tire" really just need hubcentric rings... ordered a set of plastic ones for $8 off eBay and now they are perfect.

take the yellow off the low beams or just lose the yellow... needs chrome kidneys
just my two cents

anyways looks awesome

I like the yellow lights. I say ditch the lolvo lip. It isn't even with the side skirts. If you do that and add some spacers I think it would be perfect even at that height.

[5Toes]

Yeah chrome kidneys would be cool, the kidneys pop out individually but its super hard to undo the clips!

mtech side skirts are in my garage, I just have been waiting for the door trim I needed.. but I finally got it.

pm me for calypso mtech sideskirts in good condition!

Next week I am acquiring a zf320 box and a new radiator

Pedal and M/C I am using (not that slave cylinder though):

[lambo]

I remember you had a thread a while back on alternate clutch operation. For this are you just going with a regular pedal?

You will see 8)

I skimmed through this thread and was reminded it has almost been exactly a year since I have owned this car. 10,000 miles and she has treated me well!

A recap of what I have done (not in order):

- 2.5 single catback exhaust with magnaflow
- Replace Valve Cover Gasket
- Clean ICV
- Replace Oil Pan Gasket
- Changed the oil twice
- Repaired my radiator with JB weld.. lmao
- G.A.S. full E34 stereo
- Replaced front seats and got an m5 drivers seat <3
- Detailed the paint
- Bought some wheels :)
- VOLVO LIP!!!
- Frenched headlights
- TRE fuel pump

I cant remember much more... but this car has only stranded me once - due to a bad fuel pump. She once didnt start at home, but a clean ICV and some maintenance it needed anywyas got her going tip top.

My exhaust has finally broken in and is sounding very good, I love this car so much.

My OBC display went dim a few days ago so I pulled that today, only to find the bulbs I need to goto a dealer for. I also pulled my cluster (without removing the steering wheel!) and replaced my 3 main bulbs for that.

For the first time in nearly a year I now have a working light for my speedometer and gas gauge LOL.

In the past couple days I had noticed a noise from the front of my engine that I traced to the waterpump alternator belt.

Investigated the noise today and of course the fan clutch was a bitch to get off this time! Cut the AC belt off because it doesnt work anyways and found that my water pump has shaft play... wonderful.

Parts on my list to purchase:

ZF320 + flywheel
Sachs Clutch Kit
Nissens Radiator
Graf Water Pump
Z3 Short Shifter + ZHP Knob
.. and loads of maintenance items associated with 5 speed (CSB, guibo, tranny seals, etc.)
