The GAS kit came in on Monday and while removing the DISA I found I had rips in both upper and lower intake boots ARGH. Anyways I ordered new boots from ECS on Tuesday and they arrived Wednesday. Put...
Retrofit Source is selling them for $95/pair here http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=148&osCsid=grnvmm10kequae7i0envrvmi2ukfm87e
I looked at ECS as I try to order as...
Got caught up on a lot of things in the past week:
- Black/tri-color wheel wrap from Mike @ Coby Wheel (LOVE it)
- Oil change with Mobil 1 0W-40 (switching from BMW Castrol 5W-30)
- Replaced...
I have been sitting on mine for over a month waiting to install. This is the DIY I will be using http://www.bmw330ci.net/projects/struttower.php
I hit another milestone yesterday and captured with a lousy phone pic

All 8's! On the 88th page!
I'm def interested in these if they are of similar strength to the oem type 135 wheels. 2 of mine are curbed pretty severly and i'm looking to replace or refinish but, amazingly, all 4 are still...
Makes sense. Thanks!
Bump. Anybody know if I messed up the filter by pumping fuel through the wrong side? Should I drain and reinstall? I'm going to try to fix this tonight and get my baby running again...
It will be tomorrow evening at the earliest before I can fix my mistake. In the meantime I'm driving the winter beater, a heavily dented but fully functional 2001 Accord V6 sedan with 145k miles, aka...
Awesome color combo and I love the random MB S-class picture thrown into the ad
haha, funny you should ask, the shop is literally across the street from me, and the owner had to leave and needed me off the lift, so we rolled the car out to the street. That was where the priming...
OK I just went outside for a sanity check and found that I have, in fact, crossed the tank-side fuel lines. The blue line is supposed to be on the inside and the black on the outside. I'm going to...
Thanks I will take a look at the fuel rail.
I did some more digging on E46F and found a post that state the tank-side hoses actually criss-cross before they hit the filter? I may have...
Bank holidays FTW! But I've really managed to put a damper on my day. I can definitely hear the pump priming and it is firing but not starting. I tried it a couple more times and it sounds like the...
Everything seemed to go so well...there had to be a catch! Double-checked that the filter was installed correctly, put the fuel pump fuse back in, primed and still wont start! I have a full tank of...
Not my car and I don't know the seller, but it is right up the street from me http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/2843081556.html
According to the description, odo reads 135k miles but,...
Last week I went on a shopping spree at ECS Tuning using my gift card from xmas ($100 value greatly exceeded ;) )
The full list:

Yea now that I think about it $129 is pretty steep...and the original price is $199! I did a little googling on Bimmerbum and he has a less than stellar track record. Multiple customers who placed...
Has anyone purchased or seen the kit from bimmerbum.com "BMW E46 3 series non-M Heavy Duty Pulley Kit" $129? (sorry, no link to the product page directly) Essentially it would keep the stock...
My indy offered to do the same for me and quoted $400. Said he would send my dme info over to a group in the UK and they send back a custom tune that he would load. I still intend to pull the trigger...
So far so good. Both of these 'runners', or whatever they are called, were black with burned up oil before I changed the vcg and cleaned them up.

I'm at 84k. Was burning through a quart of oil every 1k, maybe more, and it was pooling on the runners on the left side of the valve cover. First gear acceleration was especially jumpy at various...
Finally made time to replace Vanos seals and VCG along with an oil change this past weekend. DIY from Beisan and tips from the Mafia made it a very straightforward job. Took about 8 hours in total...
This just confirms that my indy is a particularly hard-headed guy lol. He is VERY particular about which OE-equivalent brands he will install. Not to mention profoundly against any CDV or clutch...
