That's the plan. I purchased it not running. Was thinking about Summit Point in April, but it's a bit far. Just working the bugs out of it now. | | | 02-03-2008, 04:58 PM | #7 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | figured out why it's not running yet? __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 02-03-2008, 05:00 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | very nice! if you dont mind my asking, what did you pay for her?? looks good heres a full sized picture... http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/605701/fullsize.jpeg __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 02-03-2008, 06:10 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: PA Posts: 283 | Rebooted the Autronic stand alone EMS, fired right up. The MSD DIS-4 was giving me troubles as well, so that was replaced with the Autronic CDI ignition. I haven't had it dyno'd/tuned since the CDI was installed, but was very happy with the numbers, even with the crappy DIS-4 (even though the spark broke up at 6k). Price was a steal for what ended up being wrong with it. Traveled 1800 miles round trip to pick it up no less. Burnt oil, but just took it for a test drive last night and I think I have that problem solved. *knockonwood* | | | 02-03-2008, 06:40 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | SWEET! you should get some video footage up of it! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 02-05-2008, 02:12 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: PA Posts: 283 | Yup, I will.

She's running better than ever, and a lot of learning was in the process.
