Newman's 1986 BMW 326rb build thread.

There is still a bunch of stuff to do before I can fire it up, but i’m getting a battery today, so I plan on testing a few things… it’ll be the first time the car had electricity in 4 years… :slight_smile:

I’m shooting to try and start it before the second week in feb…

God I hate wiring. I just re-wired my whole thing a few weeks ago. I’m so glad its done. And done right this time.

Rewiring a chassis fucking sucks. When you make an ECU harness, pretty much everything goes from the ECU to a sensor. Usually 1 wire, no splits. Easy. Wiring a chassis is a fucking cocksucker because 1 wire needs to go a million places… For instance a turn signal wire needs to go to: switch, FL turn, RL turn, cluster indicator, and hazard switch. It gets really fucking confusing.

And I pretty much did ALL this from scratch.

I hate to laugh at ones misery, but I shared your brake switch story and every one here got a chuckel. I’m glad you didn’t freeze to death and I’m excited to see this out and about.

I can only imagine what it looked like… ugh.

That sucks. I pinched my back between a fram rail and a jackstand, like a gusset, one time pulling a rear axle. I literally thought my insides got flattened. The truck was on stands but the weight of the axle rolling backwards, plus me not being ready when my “helper” let it go, pinned me and took my breath away. Worst pain I ever felt. Took me a good 2 hours to get my breath back…

Glad you got the switch though :slight_smile:

good luck on getting everything electrically functioning properly the first go-around. that’s got to be pretty satisfying after wiring something that extensive.

you realy should consider doing a cutout like mentioned and just aim the exhaust at the windsheild for when it gets foggy. you better run the turbo intake to the cabin to help recirc the exhaust. This will also give a nice smoked effect for the rotisserie were installing on your driveshaft.

LOL

HAHAHAHAHA. my CD player is actually a salami dispenser. I am also planning on turning my sump into a deepfryer

like the cocoa cookie dispenser from “the santa claus”

LOL

I want that so bad

Im currently desiging a system that utilizes the turbo as a meat grinder and the blowoff valve as a sausage maker. this is gunna be one mean meat machine.lol

So i was just nosing around on my build page and noticed my whole exige portion of the site was dead…

I fixed it and uploaded a bunch of cool pictures to the PICTURES section:

fancy

just do what i said the other day. have the exhaust go into the cabin so you can get high as fuck and keep your windows defrosted. Duh!!

I may have missed it, but what program did you use to draw up the schematic? Thats some awesome work.

Do what the rally guys do. Make your co-driver wipe the windshield on your side with a t-shirt on a pole while driving. :purextc:

finally someone is on our level. smoked turkey = :tup:

and f this single CD salami BULLSHIT, u need to get the 5 disc changer so i can whip up a CLUB sandwich when i come back for carlisle.

john is really on to something with the sausage idea tho…

dude, just imagine it. miles and miles of sausage links just from hitting the BOV. i better pattent this shit fast before someone steals my ideas.
