Good build. What are the rear valences you guys are using and where did you source them? I have the same Borbets. EZ to clean.

I got the valence from the previous owner who picked it up locally. It looks to be a replica of an ACS.

thanks! Still much more to do, just bought some wheels from a friend and going to be getting them this weekend. Working till next week but here's a "short list" of things that need to be done for me not to cringe when driving.

Finish installing power steering (crush nut to keep from leaking)
Fix left turn signal (just buzzes, Stalk, Relay, Hazard switch?)
Adjust front windows so it goes down all the way(and doesn't click when it reaches the top)
Sunroof headliner replacement (torn)
Sunroof Motor replacement (clicks)
Dash replacement (cracked)
Instrument Cluster replacement(VDO for working Motometer)
Determine leak (Please don't be the main seal)
Diagnose Oil light briefly appearing when coming to a stop
Reset Engine inspection light
Replace bulb in passenger running light
Get muffler shop to bypass honeycombed catalytic converter
While at shop, get them to weld on dual round muffler tips
Install A/c into car (R132)
Install Bluetooth headunit /Aftermarket amplifier/ subwoofer
Install e90 drophats
Retrofit interior lights with LED


These lists are more of me having a central place to find all the stuff I need to remember, but never do

I like how you are replacing and putting back in deleted PS and AC. I really don't understand why people delete if it can still work by fixing it. Nice work!

[GnarShark]

Its crazy how doing little things like the valance and interior can change the how the car looks so much. Keep up the good work your car looks awesome!!!

What's funny is I just got done subscribing to your channel. Way to go man, your videos are spot on! Like most people I'm very visual and you're doing a killer job explaining things for everyone to understand. I used your upper shock mount video last week and it really was just as easy as you made it look.

After gathering the parts needed (under $100) it really doesn't make sense. The time and effort for the "weight savings" is really counter intuitive. I will never understand it.

Thanks, much more to come.

New shoes today, ESM 002's 16 x 8 up front, 16 x 9 in the rear

[departeg]

swapped the wheels off my vert. Tires on the 002's are too short for a non lowered car.







Need to get the same size tires for my vert now since it it super slammed now.



ABS issue is fixed, powersteering is installed and working beautifully, need to tighten down the belt a bit as it squeels just a bit when at a standstill, but that's an easy fix.

Driving home from work my oil pressure light flashes. This had happened before and some people in my car club suggested it may be the oil weight I was using. Then it happened. A loud KABOOM and complete loss of power at 70 mph. I steered off the interstate and popped the hood just in time to put out the fire underneath the engine with my sweater. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I had invested so much time and energy into maintaining this car and I was now devastated by the tragedy of a blown engine. My theory is the engine had some trash in it from the previous owner (s) unable to be removed by typical oil changes and it sucked some trash into the oil pump clogging it and causing oil loss resulting in flammable friction and blowing a hole out of the side of the block delivering the final death blow.
