It's going to take you half a day to install an intake??

[nick.e46.330i.]

No. If I didn't take a half day off of work id be working from 2pm-12 in the morning

[Ryan...]

looking good!

[nick.e46.330i.]

Thanks.

[nick.e46.330i.]

Quick question. What are the original style 5 bolts made out of? Stainless or normal steel?

[Earl]

They're non stainless. You'll either want to buy new ones, or paint/ polish the old ones and just torque them more.

[nick.e46.330i.]

I was thinking about getting them anodized

[Earl]

It'll cost you but isn't a bad idea=)

[nick.e46.330i.]

Trevor dassow said it would be $65 for all the bolts

[wasnt m3]

Thats a good deal, do it!!

[Earl]

Not bad. Just remember to torque them in the 20's upon reassembling

[nick.e46.330i.]

Yea. I know. I was just looking at that the other day.

[nick.e46.330i.]

got it torn apart right now

[Earl]

Wtf did you do now?

[nick.e46.330i.]

the power steering pump seized and the shaft snapped off. and i just started takin stuff off. haha.

[Earl]

That was like two weeks ago. Lol I thought you were just going to leave it? Get a new pump from Diamond and throw it in in an afternoon and be done with it:)

[nick.e46.330i.]

It was too much of a pain in the ass to just leave. Its on and driving now.
