Is it bad that I am not even boosted yet and I am already planning out what to add after?

I totally feel you.. It's hard to keep focused and not just buy everything

[GunMetalGrey]

Ha, I am sitting here wanting to order all of the little bits but I know I need to order some of the bigger items first!

Gotta have the big items to use the little ones! Even to build stuff up to hold you over! ;D

But I have saved almost enough to order the manifold, which is 520 bucks which took a bit and I keep almost buying the 20-100 dollar parts that won't take me long at all to save for.

Know what I mean?

Doesn't that car have an inline fuel pump too? Or is that just E28's..

[Rowleym]

Maybe? Where would it be? And could I replace all my fuel lines with like hard lines that bend?

It'd be between your fuel tank, and the motor. Go figure right?

Located behind the passenger rear wheel. by the driveline. Can't miss it. (dunno if E30's have this)

And yes, you can change fuel lines. not that you'd really need to, unless there all rusty/corroded.

FWIW, that photo, IS NOT from my car. Just a google image.

Late model e30's do not have an inline. Only early 318's do.

Going with a blunttech tubular manifold, thing is gorgeous!

Good information. I like my inline fuel pump. Means when I'm broke an low on gas, I'm not frying the pump. (which is bad for an intank pump. If you run the tank low on gas, as it uses the gas as a passive heat transfer.

Spent another 2 hours at least sanding tonight. I'm never going to paint another car again... Haha. Hopefully It will be painted by the end of the week.

[Rowleym]

So guys.. I bought a miller tig welder

[Brian.]

Congrats, order it? or buy locally?

[Rowleym]

Locally used I'm a cheap ass and only had a grand to spend.

[GunMetalGrey]

Only a grand? Once again, where do you get this money.

Haha. I sold some stuff, and got paid at work. My dad split it with me because he needs me to weld some aluminum for him haha.

Soo.. I have a ecu from a 318. Is the 88 pin connector the same as a 325i? They are both 88, but I swear mine is different.
