a buddy sent me this... loving the new setup
what radiator cap is that?

Thanks for the picture.

It's a German Auto Solutions rad cap I customized a bit.

Updates?

Yes ! I went to my first show this year, Eurokracy in Montréal. Really fun weekend ! ;D

The S54 engine is perfect for the E30. Just the right amount of power.

Here's some pictures I collected on FB and Instagram:

You need to keep me posted when the car comes out of hibernation

Yes ! :up:

I have some things to finish first. I also want a mono wiper and my rear bench need to match the black tweed and patterns of my front Recaro.

Not much, winter is at it's climax here. I must have 4-5' of snow in my backyard and snowboarding is still so fun !

I just sent a payment to Bavarian Restoration for a complete refresh and some add-ons to my cluster. I'm shipping it Monday after work.

Congrats!

You must be antsy waiting until next Spring to really rip on it! Any plans over the winter?

It's stored outside on jackstand under my carport so I can't really work directly on it. By chance we have snowboard to help to pass the cold season !!

-catch can is not installed. Everything is gonna be clean and good looking again on that side.

-rpm is not working since 2016. I think I'll buy a refurbished SI board with fresh batteries. I'm pretty sure it's the cause.

-interior needs some work. I have to better fit the ECU and put back the glovebox. I'd like to have a black carpet. Black headliner too. Maybe a new steering wheel.

-I may start a custom rollbar

-during the winter I want to buy an AKG mono wiper conversion kit.

-body needs love in the battery area and lower rear valance.

-I had to add 3mm spacers for the front brake to fit. I want to lower this to 1.5mm if possible.

-I need to cut the clutch slave rod a bit. I had to use a Z3M flywheel/clutch/pp combo to keep my G260 and this combo is farter from the engine so closer to the slave. At first my tranny was making all sort of noises I never heard. It took me some time to figure out what was the cause of that. It was always a bit disengaged, very slightly. I tested by shimming the slave but I think it wasn't enough. I'll fine tune it next year.

There's probably many other things I forget, like taking time to enjoy it and going to car shows !!! :D
