Pretty sure the owner's fuel system is botched, added 25% fuel after 4000 in the ECU and it didn't get any richer. I feel confident the original estimate will be close based on today's dyno graph. We are scheduled to go back on the rollers on Monday. The s54 swapped e30 is back in the shop for some upgrades and the e36 definitely feels much quicker. Even though it's a stripped/caged race car, it weighs in at 2850 which is very similar to the 318is with an s54.

              Honestly I was getting pretty nervous. There’s no motivation like saving your ass...literally. I got that g260 in record time. I really don’t know how any of this works I just figured if the numbers got high enough I wouldn’t back down but the truth is I didn’t want them to go up. I mean it’s not like many would see a tramp stamp but damn that’s still pretty extreme. It would have been the craziest shit I’ve ever done. Anyway I got the tranny with out having to get a tranny banging a tranny tat so for that I thank you all!

Turns out that a build thread should be a little more elegantly presented. I got one guy asking what I’m trying to achieve by posting random pics lol. So yes got a little self conscious about the whole thing. I’m heading to LA to pick up my g260 tonight I got the dude to go down to $550 it’s all tested and ready to go!! I will be broke for a week but am going to be one step closer to bringing this lil beast back to life!! I’ll post some pics when I get it! But yes as far as threads I think for now I belong here In the non sense.

                  Thanks! Yeah, at least you're keeping the off topic thread somewhat relevant.

                  Yeah, makes sense. I guess if it has an old pump and/old filter that wouldn't help. What are they going to do to fix it? I'm assuming it's quite frustrating to tune a car that still has it's fair share of issues.

                  Is there a difference in transmissions/gear ratios?

                    When you take the diff mount bolt out.
                    does the diff drop/angles down allot or like not really?

                      What kind of subframe bushings do you have?

                        A weird place to post this, but does anyone know the generic part numbers for C101/X20 pins from digikey, mouser, etc?

                        I have the BMW PNs, but I'm looking to set up 3 interchangeable harnesses for an FSAE car to be interchangable, and I can't justify pitching them as an option at $1~$1.50 per pin(+/- USD/CAD conversion).

                            I just had a horrible nightmare. Somehow i'd come into possession of a zinno e30 m3 for really cheap. The paint was faded so I decided to have it professionally resprayed, and for some reason in some awful bassboat style black/orange metallic. I went to visit the body shop and it turns out all they were doing was painting big sheets of newsprint and then sticking them to the car. And the bodyshop wasn't even a shop, just some building that was being framed. There was dust and crap that had gotten in the paint which they said was my job to wet sand out because they had pretty much abandoned the project at that point. For some reason I wasn't even mad, just regretting that I didn't try to have the original paint professionally buffed and polished.
