FuturisticConcept Art BMW E36 with a V8 on a bottom dollar budget

I really like the side exit above the rockers, that'd look sweet. Also, shooting fireballs would be cool.

Thats a whole other culture. I dont think I want to go that route. 

[patsbimmer1]

Just the bosozoku exhaust style.  Not the whole shebang!

I really dig those graphics, I also love the matte/satin black on the gloss black. Subtle but just right. 
Maybe add some bright green pin striping to critical areas?

Very nice. That's the best part so far. Do it!

You guys convinced me, it looks like I have some vinyl to start cutting.

Oh. Yeah I am not opposed to something like that, but I want to try and keep the rear of the car free of anything important. That way if I hit a wall, I can keep going(hopefully) 

I also am buying earls old centerlines and selling mine. Most likely going on this car. I shittily photoshopped them on above.

Needs horns

Like so?

[stealthbimmer]

Well, if you are going that route...at least put them in front for some ramming protection

I was thinking more, since you have the red theme, something like this 

https://www.amazon.com/Red-Devil-Horns-for-Cars/dp/B00IMM5R92

You know, make em light up if you want to get all ridiculous with it.

Or, since apparently 'tis the season already

HAHAHHHA I have never seen those little horns before. How silly. I would do that if I actually had legitimate plates on the car.

Speaking of which, I applied for another set of hobbyist plates yesterday for this thing. So when they show up in January I can finally "LEGALLY" drive the car come February!

Added some of the matte/ gloss vinyl and used the car to haul some wooden tire racks I built.

Blew the PS line apart again. Of course it happened right when I got into the shop. ughhhhhhhhhhhh.

Where can I go to get a custom line made? I really dont want to use AN fittings and this is super annoying. the place that I took this too makes HP hydro lines and they said this should hold 1000 PSI. LIESSSSSSS

I will ask around at work tomorrow. Pretty sure I remember someone talking about a local place that does custom hydraulic hoses cheap.

Please do!!!!.

I know that most auto parts stores have a press that can make them behind the counter, but this line they were unable to make. Once I get it out of the car I will post a picture of the actual line. Its half OEM Ford and half OEM BMW.

The guy at Hyquip said it should be good for up to 3000psi, I don't know if I believe him, but it certainly was a bitch to get on like all push-lok lines.

Well I guess he was wayyy off.

No one knew what I was talking about, so I must have made the whole thing up. Only suggestions I got were to check the farm equipment/bobcat places. Maybe call one of the equipment rental places and ask them where they go for stuff like that?

Yeah. So since I am located on the outskirts of Madison surrounded by farms, the auto parts store by me makes hydro lines, but could not make the line I need. They suggested Hyquip, which was a good suggestion, but they couldn't make it either. Instead they suggested doing what I did, and sold me some fittings, but it still continues to fail.

[The Full Banana]

I've gone both routes before with success either way. I can see the fittings failing if they are the standard sort of AN fitting, but proper high pressure reusable PS fittings have worked really well for me. I bought high pressure power steering fittings and hose on ebay and made my own line on my first swap (which I put about 13,000 miles on). The second time around I went to Hyquip on 124th in Butler and had them make a similar line, but with crimp fittings, while I waited (and that one has 3,000 miles or so on it now). Why wouldn't Hyquip do it?
