She’s ALIVE! (But idling rough)

Replaced both fuel pumps and filters and bolted in a new Hella CPS, she cranked right up. Weird powerband issues under acceleration and it’s idling a little funny.

I think either I need to get the CPS perfectly mounted or I have a vacuum leak. It almost dies when I pull the dipstick. Where else are common vac leak issues? What else could it be?

Please give a listen!

I used to make fun of people for having a CIB bumper sticker but 10 years later here we are.

Hey guys! 1987 E30 owner here.

I think I’m going to take off the cow catcher and flexible real spoiler and repair and paint them, I think a matte black would be neat.

For actually doing the work I think I’ll clean, sand, fill gaps with bondo (open to recommendations), sand, fill, sand, prime and paint. I’ve never done any of this kind of work before but have tools and general knowledge.

Does anyone have recommendations for products, processes, and methods for doing this right? The flexible rear spoiler is annoying and I need to replace some of the glued in bolts and create some gaskets so that it won’t leak.

Thanks!
