Napa radiator hose #8484 for the top hose.
Is that one quite a bit longer than the "BMW" replacement? I'm coming from the side of the head (weird, right?) and it angles up fairly steep so I need plenty o' length to get back to the radiator.
I'll have to check that one out though!@jc43089 sounds a bit rich for this cars blood lol. I'll keep it in mind if I don't find one at the junkyard or something.

I’ve got a later model tank laying around

So this finally happened! My radiator hoses are not great, they are spliced together out of two different hoses both top and bottom.
I also don't have power steering yet because the mounting stuff is different, but driving it without power steering is surprisingly okay. So I need to figure out what I want to do there.
I'll also probably order the real radiator hoses, and need to get a late model expansion tank in the car because the current one is sketchy at best!
The clutch is also slightly odd, it was an e46 setup, and I'm not quite sure what's going on.In short, it's got kinks yet, but I got to do fun stuff.

I hope the exhaust is staying the way it is

This is amazing lol.
I have many reasons to not leave the exhaust as is, but it is hilarious and awesome to watch.

This car needs to maintain a stack.
-
Awesome! It needs a flapper on the exhaust!

I vote for stack with perforated protector:

I bought a super cheap boost gauge. I haven't done anything with it yet.
I got the alternator functioning, which is nice.
Having to build an engine harness as I go is an odd thing. Just keep piecing stuff together. Tonight I will be getting the temp gauge working.The new blower motor is great! It doesn't sound like death! Though it still only works on high, but the resistor pack (springs) looked fine. May just buy a new anyway because that's likely the problem in some way.
Next on the list is an intercooler, apparently that's the #1 to prevent head damage, not sure how that works but it's a recommendation by everyone. I planned on doing it anyway so no time like the present!
I do also need to figure out where to mount 3 or 4 gauges in the car... but I would like to keep the radio. To the internet I go!

I have an intercooler for you for cheap. Straight thru style. Which may be odd for routing

I have one of these (bought it because I'm lazy, making one would be easy), it's not the perfect location as far as being able to see them all the time, but its a nice place to put them and keep heater vents/euro clocks for instagram/radio/etc. They're more visible than the ash tray replacement ones too.
