One day he'll realize a non functional car will never fill the void in his heart

2mAn Same reason why you haven't removed that photo from your sigpic yet. Chasing a false dream of street cred, points from internet strangers, and the thought of "maybe a new car will finally cure my endless searching for happiness and fulfillment" /s

Getting the urge to buy a new car/ project...

What is wrong with me.

Unsure why people still use most Garbageistic parts.

Its a double-edged sword, because you want to support the vendors who support us, especially small businesses located here... but then theres sacrifices you have to make... I like that I can go locally and pick them up.

Who else is there? Condor Racing? Ireland Engineering? Could say the same about all of them...

Both are going to really transform the car.

How are your bushings, specifically rear subframe, trailing arm, and differential?

You might be surprised, a new set of OEM rubber bushings could be what you need.

They're worn but still useable, However I'm planning to run a 80a bushing kit from garagistic since it'll just replace everything without thinking too much. I'm still throwing in a LSD for fun!

She acts like she is going to lose control even when I am driving her hard

An LSD is a must on these cars IMO

so many reasons to have it.

When driving hard, especially on a tight corner, the inner wheel just loses traction and the car will just roll thru the corner.

I cant stand that shit

if you don't drive the car hard or "hoon" it i wouldn't worry about it.

I know exactly what you're talking about, She acts like she is going to lose control even when I am driving her hard so It's why I'm currently on the hunt for a messed up 325es or 325is for that limited slip and everything else. I'm putting better tires and upgrading to a good set of springs and shocks but without that LSD and a rear sway bar, She will continue to barrelroll through corners and make me feel like i am driving a boat.

Sounds like an evap system issue. I'd check the canister and lines to and from it. My E30 is missing its canister and just has an open vent hard line. It has never smelled like gas under the hood.

[McGyver]

No clue. This would have been done in 2018, so 8 years ago. I probably used something from o'reily's. E30 lines are 8mm (0.315 in) ID, which is an odd size. Maybe I'll just swap out the lines, it's not too hard and they're pretty old at this point.

I never did replace the line to the charcoal cannister, so maybe that's just cracked and causing issues on hot days?

[2mAn]

What kind of fuel lines do you have? With the current crop of crap chinese lines Im paranoid about my own, though I dont think the proper fuel line I just bought for my Elan will work on the E30. Seems like the E30s are a smaller size.

[McGyver]

I've had a raw fuel smell from my engine bay on/off for some time. Some days i don't smell anything, other days it's really strong. This happened before and after replacing the head in the car. Injector rail was left in the intake the whole time. I replaced the fuel lines from the firewall to the rail about 7 years ago. I jumped the fuel pump the other day to pressurize the rail, left it for 30 minutes, no fuel smell. It seems to only happen when the engine is hot, too hot to comfortably poke around. I've never seen leaks from the soft lines to the fuel rail or from the top/bottom of the injectors.

It's really annoying. What could this be coming from?
