It was custom made by a member Yeamans17 a few years back. It is extremely short. Maybe the shortest one he's ever made.

01 BMW 330i sports package.
It's a nice car...but I might sell it for a 98-02 Accord 4dr for more practicality and buy myself a 05-06 CBR-RR

...but that's all in the air right now.

That's the same one. I just had a Spoon knob before. The Greddy knob sits a lot lower.

And to think...my money went all downhill from here...










and my car went uphill from here...

In the words of kurobei... what a spaghetti factory.








Only the OG's know about this :


Throwbacks.

Very close to running, I have been delayed for a few reasons. Some wires extentions, replacing parts for cosmetic purposes... a LOT of work, even though there isn't much left.

So for the not so pocket friendly part.

I received an AEBS fuel rail over a year ago. Never really installed it til a few weeks ago. Let me tell you this AEBS is R.A.R.E. You will not find another one of these online. Trust me I tried. I'll get to that.
Anyway I bought this and finally decided to buy a liquid filled gauge for injector-tuning purposes. Well turns out when I tried to install the gauge, it wasn't a proper fit. It was a little rough to twist but the threads seemed correct.

So me being me, I twisted slowly...

and...it got so tight that...

Well...



Yes. It broke. MOTHA FUCKA. My Hulk SMASH arms broke it. Why? I'm retarded. Oh well it's ok. It's just a $30 gauge no worries. So I get an extractor bit and drill a hole through to extract the fitting.

Extractor bit broke. Really?

So I get that out and try a bigger extractor bit.... Broke inside again.


From this point, I wanted to throw my fuel rail like a Nola Ryan pitch to my windshield. If any of you know me I pay to play. I don't bullshit and I don't settle for the minimal. I can't justify an AEM fuel rail purchase (not that there's a problem with them but I'm into the uncommon), especially since I have something so rare and hard to find.

I bought this rail for $160. Expensive but again, pay to play. Leaving myself no options I went to a machine shop with an awesome owner who knows his shit.

"You really fucked this thing up". --Yes I did.

"So the only way to get it out was to laser this bitch out".

???

He asked me if I could buy another one instead and I said its discontinued. So quoted $160 to remove it, I paid $130. Ouchie.



He ended up installing a new fitting. Said the rail was already cross-threaded so that explains why it was so hard to screw in the gauge. So I basically bought a messed up rail...kinda. Brass on aluminum is better than aluminum on aluminum so he says. Whatever, as long as it works again.







I did notice he left some shavings in the rail so I removed the fittings. Good thing I did. There was tons of it in there. I also have new fuel fittings to install anyway.

Old:


If any of you want to tighten fittings the cheap way, I figured wrapping electrical tape around the fitting protects the scratch completely.



And the result:

That's tape residue btw

My update so far. Off the pc and onto the car.
