      I ate breakfast and looked at it, then watched f1 qualifying. I'll be driving my brother to work in it shortly.

      This is an old thread, one dude described that he 'drove the shit out of it on the way to see Superbad', LQTM.

          Got my Dinan chip in the mail this morning for the ETA. Installed it, car wouldn't even start, started freaking out looked online and saw there was a specific way to install it. So round two put back in the car fired right up and ran good. Way more power than it had, very happy with it.

              Washed it, put the rotor cover cap on and tried to fix both interior lights but ended up breaking them both.

                Changed the tranny mounts. The passenger side was missing the top half and the driver side was sheared in half with the top part still resting on it. Even with the new mounts, the suspension is still clattering in the rear.

                    Decided to inverstigate the raw-fuel smell i'm getting at fillup. The driver's side of the tank is leaking on the subframe. So I started pulling the tank from my donor Touring.....I hate e30's.

                            First time posting here I think. I got this 318is a few weeks ago, going to take care of some things over the winter and put it on the road in the spring.

                            Pulled intake manifold, ordered new injectors, more to come later.

                                Yesterday, Andrew and I replaced my E36 window switches (one died, so we replaced them both with lighted ones), replaced my sunroof switch with an E36 switch, and finally after like 5 years, spliced in my late-model foglight pigtails, so I finally have functioning foglights.
