Like I posted in another thread, it looks like I'll be doing a cat replacement...or headers...or both.

I just ran up my credit card bill for this car...it hurt a lot. Sigh...HUGE maintenance/WYAIT update in the future.
The mechanicals WILL be sorted after all is said and done. Then I can focus on the exterior and interior condition.
Happy freaking New Year

You'll be so happy when it's done. All worth it.

3 piece shipment from FCP came in on Wed...seriously thinking about posting updates on YouTube since I'm almost at my upload limit on Flickr. It's the only social media platform that I haven't tried out. Plus they need more ZHP content
Also a special package coming from europartsonline... heh heh heh
(Edit: they bumped the price of the GEN3 up $70, $455 to $525)
Good timing too, because my car just threw a brick of codes at me:
P0306
P0420 (mmmmm 420)
P0430
I'm hoping the LC-2 will play nicely and make the car great again, we will see in the very near future.

I did end up starting a YouTube channel...it's very easy to tell that I'm a noob at this. I'm trying to find my groove with it. Just takes time I guess. Things that have happened since my last update are as follows:
130 lbs of parts from FCP
Everyone's favorite light:
Joined BMWCCA:
Started replacing things, preventatively...
Shocks:
Struts:
Bought some headers, going to get them ceramic coated this summer. Jet-Hot quoted me $300(!):
Got a clutch stop:
And got some tools, because I don't like headaches:

Coolant flush done. 194k
Drain old kool-aid, run prestone flush for 3-4 days, rinse with distilled water, fill with new kool-aid.
Intake manifold removed, block cleaned.
Things replaced:
Hoses and pipes
Starter
Engine coolant sensor
TB cleaned and gasket replaced
IM gasket
Knock sensors
IN cam, EX cam and crank sensors
MAF
Intake boots
Car starts with enthusiasm now and pulls much harder. Well worth the work.
Also found that someone has been in here previously. The injector harness clips were missing and the ECT sensor plug was damaged. The previous cylinder #6 misfire I had is now gone, but now I have a P3198 code related to the ECT sensor. I will probably replace the whole injector harness with a good one from the junkyard. That should fix both issues.

Nice! Just curious, did you unbolt the starter from up top or underneath?
