    One Week, and a laundry list

    So, I just got home for spring break, (RIT has weird breaks, its hardly spring.) Last break, I finished my 2.7i build by the skin of my teeth. Now, I have a chance to finish the car and finally bring it back to school. Heres what needs to be done to drive 6 hours back to rit.

    To do:
    -Fix Glovebox
    -Paint/re-attach grills
    -Put back on hood shocks
    -Fix Idle
    -Fix window washer resevoir
    -Paint/tuck bumpers
    -Fix muffler (cut and reweld so its straight)
    -Swap rear ends (3.73 lsd FTW!)
    -Make battery tie down
    -Tune it
    -Shadowline trim
    -Smoke tails/headlights (any info on the best way to do this?)
    -IE poly subframe mounts
    -Check/replace fluids
    -Change a shifter bushing
    -Install new trunk gasket

    I'll have pre, during and post pictures up here. The pre-pics will be up shortly.

            Yes, they are. I know I know, ebay special etc. They are a hell of a lot brighter than stock though, so Im not complaining. Anyway, here is the progress I made today.

            Had a jolly old time burning the old bushings out. Should have the rear in tomorrow along with the shifter. Then painting time!

                Yeah they are ATS DTC superlights. Dont have any profile shots currently, but more are coming soon. I'll have to see ya up there! It seems theres a decent e30 community up there that I haven't noticed becase I haven't had my car in Rochester yet.

                  I didn't know there were so many up there either. Problem is I live in AZ now, still have family up there though. I am driving the 325 up there this coming weekend, I have a shit load of parts to switch over form my old car onto this one.

                              So, got everything back together and went for a drive today. Let me say, that the SuperETA pistons and 885 head combo kicks ass especially with a 3.73 lsd! Rubber punching it in first, and it gets sideays powershifting to second :) Anyway, here are some pictures. I still havent painted everything and tucked the bumpers, that will be later this week hopefully.
