        IT was a VERRRRRY grey import, if you know what I mean...

          unfortunately no, the fuel pump relay didn’t do anything. Seems like there’s no power getting to the fuel pump, but the relay and pump are both brand new

                    Short version of why I've spent minimal time under the car is that its parked on the street, which is a busy one. It also sits baking under the sun until about ~3pm, but then the kids need my attention after that ...

                    MrBurgundy Once you've had the taste of the $25 smoothie you are never the same... Im going broke trying to be healthy...

                      Did we want a rational explanation? I don't think so, you can do better.

                        This BaT auction is what BaT used to be about.

                        Literally, you need to bring a trailer

                          I will say I liked that this became an actual BaT auction.

Finally got the kpower swap kit delivered, minus a few pieces, and a jdm k24a shows up to my house tomorrow. Need to get a mini split for the garage, but I've already lit enough money on fire so I am going to have to deal with it. Weather has been shockingly nice for AZ in mid July, so hopefully that continues. I've cruised marketplace damn near daily for a few years, snagged a Z3M which is a blast, but the E30 is where my heart is at. First car that I got at 15yo, plan on keeping it forever.

                            Needless to say my answer is definitely not biased, at all.
                            Hey dude, when your car runs, and my car runs, we should go to some meet in like December.

                            Not December this year, that's crazy. Let's plan for like 2-3 years away. Even then, I'm not setting a deadline.

                              While I am glad to see a car on BAT that is actually "bring a trailer" not "bring an enclosed transporter that cost $3k" I voted for the Mercedes because I wanted you to keep it, not because I wanted yet another old german car that needs a paint job myself.

                                it wasn’t directed at you, it was directed at Mr Burgundy because even though he won’t admit it and he acts like she’s a Beemer Boi, he’s actually a diehard Benzo Boi… this a simple AAA tow to his shop and he will laugh his ass off as he realizes I plugged something in wrong or a fuse was out… and instant profit off my dumbass.
