Oooooh! 2.5" stainless steel exhaust tubing!
http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog...FQZbhwodg0uJqQ good prices!

Got some stuff done today.
I scored a Milwaukee Metal Chop Saw off C-list last night for $45 for my exhaust and other welding projects. I am super stoked on it! I am also getting a Hobart 140 from my girl for Xmas.


I still want to find a small counter top bench press, and a bench vise.
I also finished the diff today.
I got the old worn bearing seats cut out.

And the new ones installed.

Then I just threw everything together.

And now I have a limited slip 3.64:1 early e21 diff (using the LS mechanism from an e30 small case 4.10 diff). I will need 8mm bolts but no spacers for this diff to bolt into my car!

4x 2.5" exhaust band clamps, 1x exhaust welding band clamp, 1x Y-pipe (2"in 2.5" out), 1x Cherry Bomb glass pack (for resonator).
Just waiting on my 2.5" mandrel bent stainless tubing kit from mandrel-bends.com.

Sadly I ordered lap joint clamps. I should have gotten but joint clamps. Good thing they are only $7 each!

Wow Summit is insanely fast here in Cali! I ordered my parts a few minutes before the post at 4:10pm, and I just got an email this morning that the parts are out for delivery already!

[deutschman]

Ordered all my stainless tubing, band clamps, glass pack, and y-pipe today! It should all be here by the 15th which is my Bday! Im excited!

Some more random parts. I also sent my 19# injectors out to OKinjectors to get cleaned and re-manufactured.
Got my vacuum hoses in.

And the bearings I need to finish the diff, with some exhaust studs from Mr. Blunt.

Getting some parts in from Blunt soon. Should be ordering all the rest of my exhaust stuff in a few weeks. Then I need to get my fly wheel lightened, get a short shift kit, cluch slave, painless wiring kit, and then I'll have all my parts!!!

Shoulda told me you needed a clutch slave, just packaged the E30 for pick n pull tomorrow. Call my dad and see if you can grab it in time before work.

Got a few small things done today. I got the electronics switched over from my m20 AFM to my m30 AFM. Then I gave it a quick clean.
Also got my diff out put shaft flanges cleaned up with some new seals.

D man,

I just got an 02. 76 square tail

Fun. Hope you live in a smog friendly state. Those '76's dont like to pass emissions tests. Do a turbo m42! :D

i want an 02 ... but i cant afford one on my college budget lol. but keep up that great work man, i love it!

I have been doing this while going to college and working my ass off. Then again I go to culinary school so I am guessing it costs a few thousand less then where ever you are. I think having something depends on how much you want it. I want this really badly so I make sacrifices and work really hard to keep it. I should be done with school this December. ;)

Not much heat gets to the tail pipes.

Do your tail pipes reach 650F?

No that was my problem, every time they got hot it turned to goo. There is a reason they label it header paint not exhaust paint. It also was pretty tacky even when "dry", it needs to cure. Just trying to help.

Otis is prob right, i doubt it cares how it gets hot (propane torch) it just needs to.
