The car is 95% ready for the road, but still doesn’t have an inspection sticker. I have not yet hooked up the CEL from the GM PCM to the BMW cluster. Can anyone hook me up with a 10 day sticker in the meantime? ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > What was the resolution on the cat overheating? It has not come back. I think it was a function of me unplugging that side’s coils multiple times trying to figure out the idle/stumble; it was probably made worse by the fact that the cat had no moving air around it, as I revved it sitting in a hot stuffy garage. It has not come back, so fingers crossed. I highly doubt it’s clogged.[COLOR=“Silver”] ---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ---------- Well, it’s been a busy rollercoaster of a week. Went out and did some rolling shots of my winter beater with friends. ![http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2884/8896951447_b55279c8b7_b.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/b/b/bbf70ffc75afe6d3d5c73960bc506614e58bdec1.jpeg) Then, on the way to Pennsylvania (2 hour drive one way) for work at 5am, this happened: ![http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5322/8896952971_719ebcc6a6_b.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/0/c/0c4ee091ac3b833cf3e786e00bb82cfc01bb10ac.jpeg) ![http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3693/8897573340_18dc1ab796_b.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/9/992887fd06f7cee427dc9c2d65b9aa7f2477e4e4.jpeg) I was able to limp it home for an hour driving like this: The car has already been deemed a total loss, but 100% of the damage is cosmetic, and the car runs great. I will be buying it back and fixing it. Not sure if I’ll sell it for a nicer beater yet. But, on the bright side, this happened: ---

Wow man, congrats on finishing it. I don’t mean this to be a dick but I’ll admit when this thread started based on some of your questions I was pretty sure this project would get abandoned. :tup: to sticking with it and completing your build. Not a lot of people out there that can say they’ve swapped an LS motor into a BMW. What kind of power do you think it’s making? ---

goes like stink now after John D worked his magic on the bitch 370/374 6650 fuel cut and made power right up to that. The last digit on the BMW tach is a 7, lol. certainly learned a lot during the build but there was never any doubt i would finish it. hardest part was juggling finances, fighting elements/weather/work conditions, gathering information on all the little details (especially for wiring) and keeping motivation going. ---
