Well hurry up and get on it!


Got the car aligned today and garsh it's fantastic.

 

I am getting antsy. I may do it this coming week if I can get my speed density done soon.

 

For sure. Do you run off of the fuel temp sensor or an IAT?



CRAIGSLIST TRADE OF THE YEAR:

Traded my $500 Saturn for this 89' BMW 325ix tonight. Stoked to have an AWD vehicle as my daily now, let alone something that has some class.

 

That is a badass trade! Congrats!

Not sure I will probably do fuel temp first then switch to IAT. I have a SpoolinUp harness and sensor.

 

Thanks!! And yep, I'm in the same boat. I tune off of fuel temp but have an IAT in there as well.

Took some random shots of the 'Vo today when I was outside (and some with the E30). She (Evo) needs a wash.

 

Wow I really like that BMW, good find!

 

Thanks, man! I'm shocked at how well the car is coming up thus far.

I made a member journal for the progress on the E30 for anyone bored on a Sunday .

Got my first e-mail back from FuelLab, and he's "100% sure the regulator isn't the issue". I <3 warranty claims.

 

lmfao oh word? Thats funny because a direct swap out fixed a issue.....hmmmmmm isnt the issue aeh.....seems legit

 

Keeps telling me it's my fuel pump because there's 'physically no way for the regulator to not rise at a 1:1 ratio', despite the fact that the car runs perfect after the regulator change.

At least my new $200 paperweight is anodized purple so it looks cool.

In other news I daily'd the car this week, and found something many folks would like to know:

-The -12an upper coolant line is definitely a restriction.

The car is building pressure in the thermostat housing (behind the line) and keeps blowing out the line on the back of the thermostat housing because the coolant can't get through the upper hose fast enough. I have NO symptoms or ANY cooling issues that would point to a HG, so I'm only led to assuming the the culprit is the -12an upper line that many have been wondering about.

 

I would think minimum 16an or larger. 12 is too small. That's barely as large as the stock heater core line.

 

Nice on the E30. Careful, they're addictive.

 

That's what I'm thinking as well. I knew in the back of my head that the -12an would cause issues, despite STM's recommendation.

I'm finding that out all too soon! I picked up an exhaust, an IS lip, and am repainting a bunch of stuff, so after that she should be minty fresh. There are so many subtle things to buy for these things that make them look so neat.

 

just read the entire thing from page 1. Fantastic read. Excellent attention to detail. Whatever you do dont go to a suby if you sell it.

 

Thanks, man! While I was in school, having the car apart was really a burden, but sticking with it through all of the BS was more than worth it in the end.

Don't worry, no Subie will ever fill its place
