Did one small thing last night. I needed to extend the MAF plug, so I hit the wrecking yard and snipped one out of a 525i.
Cut off the original plug, Peel back the insulation, and solder wires together
Heat shrink individual wires
Then heat shrink the whole thing to finish it up. In total I added about 12" in length and it now reaches the MAF. All that's left is to run it through the wiring harness cover, though that means pulling the intake tube and ICV, so it won't happen till I get back from vacation

Thanks for the kind words guys :)
In other news, the shop i was going to have do my exhaust, http://www.r-sportinternational.com, is apparently shutting down in the next month (or at least moving) so they're not taking on any new projects. So there goes my plan to drop the car off for exhaust while I'm on vacation for the next 11 days
I contacted 2 other local shops and gave them descriptions of what I was looking for along with tons-o-pictars. Hopefully one of them says "yes" without also asking me to take out a 2nd mortgage.

Had a meeting yesterday with a guy who runs a custom exhaust shop out of his home. He's been building headers for over 30 years and still does custom exhausts form Pro3 cars, including Chris Rohm (http://www.rhominnovations.com/). We looked it all over, and actually the front 1/2 (up through the resonator) is in really good shape and probably not worth rebuilding. So that will help save some $, as it's really only the cat-back that needs to be rebuilt. Once the turbo-downpipe exhaust gasket comes in from Germany, we should be good to go. Hopefully I can have it back and ready for a test drive by the 2nd week of June. Cutting it really close to the picnic :drink: :crazy:

Gonna have to guess you didn't get all your lines tightened up?
